Nothing speaks glamour like the 1940's pin-up girls of Hollywood. If you want to bring a little bit of glamour to your personal bank checks, then you should definitely consider purchasing vintage-inspired pin-up girls on your checks. Not only are they great looking, but everyone will remember the checks that you write to them.

In the 1940's, WWII was raging, but Hollywood was alive and kicking. The pin-up girls of that era graced magazines, calendars, and even playing cards. They were beautiful, glamorous, and sexy. With perfect hair and makeup, gorgeous clothing, and secret smiles, they were more than just sex symbols-they were icons. Men wanted to be with them, and women wanted to be them.

It took something special to be a pin-up girl during that era. Being a successful and beautiful movie star didn't necessarily mean that you could also be a successful pin-up girl. Indeed, it took more than good looks and sex appeal to have your face plastered on playing cards and posters. A woman had to have an allure that set her apart from other women. She also had to appear to be accessible. One of the reasons that pin-up girls became so popular is due to the fact that their images had wide appeal and were mass-produced.

Betty Grable was one of the earliest pin-up girls. Her poster was "pinned up" in lockers during the War. The Gibson girl, who was actually an illustration, was another popular pin-up girl. Other popular pin-up girls of the 1940s include Carmen Miranda, Jane Russell, Veronica Lake, Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner, and Ava Gardner. Betty Page, in the 1950s, was one of the most popular pin-up girls of all time. In fact, merchandise containing her image can still be purchased today, despite the fact that many of her present-day fans were not alive during her heyday.

Even though pin-up girls still exist today, an argument exists that they no longer contain the allure and style of the women of the past. Although posters can be obtained of most of the popular female movie and televisions stars and supermodels, the sexy sirens of the past are gone.

If you would like your personal bank checks to have something a little different and you love the 1940s and 1950s, then the pin-up girls checks and their vintage feel might be right up your alley. They come in 4 rotating images so each lovely girl will be different from the one before her. Not only do these checks look great, but they can be conversation pieces, too, and they can say a lot about your personality and individuality.

If you buy your checks online from a site you can save as much as 50% off what your bank might charge you. You will also have a wide range to select from. You can anticipate receiving your checks in about 5 days. Don't forget to have your routing number and checking account number available when you place your order.
