Dorothy Dandrige (Google her)  did some pin up early in her career.  I don't know that what Josephine Baker did could technically be called pin up.

check out mm#338746
Personally I think more black women should get into pinup because of their natural curves. Perfect for it.

I love it.  I have a lingerie boutique opening June of this year and my first ad is pin up style with 2 of 3 black models.

I had never seen a black pin up model before this thread, but these photos posted look fantastic. Pin up modeling is so classy it doesn't matter what colour you are, if you have tattoos or piercings or anything - I love it.

Ohhh, I'd love to see someone on here do a Josephine Baker-inspired shoot!  Not really "pin-up" by the 40's definition, but it's a great retro theme.

Some inspiration:
