However, the term is also now used as a euphemism by the pornography industry.
What is considered "glamour" has changed with the times. In the 1940s, clothed "pin-up[?]" pictures were "glamour." Many movie stars were featured in pin-up poses showing them in swimsuits.
In the 1950s and early 1960s, photographers such as Peter Gowland[?] produced glamour images with partial nudity. Only in the early 1970s did some leading men's magazines begin to show pubic hair and, later, genitalia.
