Meet Hilda, America’s Plus Sized Pin Up Girl!!!

Earlier in the month, vintage images of Hilda, a voluptuous pin up/caldendar girl began to surface and people began to fall in love with her all over again.
Who is Hilda anyway?

Hilda is the creation of illustrator Duane Bryers and one of the only plus sized pin up divas to gain popularity and grace calendars from the 1950s to the early 80s. She was most popular during the 1960s.

“She’s a creation out of my head. I had various models over the years, but some of my best Hilda paintings I’ve ever done were done without a model,” veteran artist Duane told the online pin-up gallery Toil.
