When pin-ups are "classy" and depict a girl simply being cute and sexy, then I think it's all right.
However, when pin-ups cross the line and start being pornographic in nature--complete nudity and/or the girl is in a lewd position--then I think it's in bad taste.
i looooove boobs just as much as the next guy... although after doing dA regularly for the last year... adding tons and tons of pin-up artits... i hate that like 75% do nothing but... none of them spread their wings. its like looking at the same piece almost every new posting... that said, there are some though that are multi faceted and clearly show that they are no one trick ponies... but rather, that they just enjoy a good pin-up once in awhile.
any more its just art to me. lol could be that Ive critiqued the stuff to death and just don't seem to see a difference any more but generally its intent behind the image. I think people take it out of context and skew its being up more than what the artist had originally intended.

Most modern pinup art tends to be gross/not attractive at all, at least in my opinion.
But yeah, vintage pinup is totally the best~
