The pop music world seems bent on reviving the pin up fashion which it had accepted quickly and then buried quickly. It usually does with most new developments every four months. But easy pop singers, like Katy Perry, or claims record, as Lady Gaga, seem to persist in the idea that not only the pin up not dead but expect a long life, although some precursor of this Renaissance, as the eccentric burlesque artist Dita von Teese and not just fashion.
