Paper Dolls: Pinups of World War 2

Australia during the Second World War is usually pictured as austere, a time of rations and perseverance. Women from this time are often portrayed as domesticated or working for the war effort. Sexuality was dangerous and mentioned only in reference to the allure of the visiting American soldiers. Fashion was negated for the khaki greens and greys of uniforms. This documentary delves into the dark of war and shows how the pinup girls of the time were pictures of hope, of a better time and of people's longing for fun. Pinups came in many different forms: girls in bathers, dancing girls, drawings of glamorous, idealised womanhood and soft focus girls gazing longingly out of their frame. For the women featured in the photos, their brief stardom was for some exciting, an adventure and liberating, while for others it was a secret to be hidden from family and community.
