Cheesecake- ó Pin-up Girl- American pie

El término inglés cheesecake ( "pastel de queso") es un sinónimo de pin-up girl. El uso de este significado está documentado en el año 1934, pero se popularizó unos 20 años más tarde, con la frase (refiriéndose a una mujer guapa) better than a cheesecake (mejor que un pastel de queso). En general, las imágenes de pin-up no fueron consideradas pornográficas, se utilizaban para hacer propaganda en plumas, mecheros, revistas etc.

A pin-up girl, also known as a pin-up model, is a model whose mass-produced pictures see wide appeal as popular culture. Pin-ups are intended for informal display, e.g. meant to be "pinned-up" on a wall. Pin-up girls may be glamour models, fashion models, and actresses. The pin-up images could be cut out of magazines

 or newspapers, or be from postcard or chromo-lithographs, and so on. Such photos often appear on calendars, which are meant to be pinned up anyway. Later, posters of pin-up girls were mass-produced. They became an instant hit
