I'd say she'll be staying, for a little while, anyway. Some things about a pin-up are timeless, others are not. Lynn's costume and the overall look of the set put this squarely in the late fifties to early sixties. It's a spare, unadorned look, with simple, direct lines. The colors are the creamy pastel whites and off whites also popular at the time, and are meant to convey the feel of someone in the idle rich who could afford to keep white living spaces clean. The pants in particular speak of the time, both in their styling and in their role as an aggressive fig leaf. They are tight enough to show Lynn's form, for which we can be ever grateful. The timeless element is Lynn's smile. Even the somewhat goofy hat can't hide her attractiveness or her desire to spend time with us. Her arm is hiding just a bit of her breast, adding a bit of a tease. This draws our eyes, as if Lynn's lovely form weren't enough to do that on its own.
