Female pin-up

The following context is about this artwork: . Does "female pin-up" mean the poster on the wall, the woman in the TV, or the nude woman that is figuring with a shade at the top of her head?


Context:

It may also be that the tin of ham prominently displayed to the right of the female pin-up is a Duchamp-like pun on Hamilton’s name, connecting to the colloquial expression hamming it up, which is what the two figures in Hamilton’s collage appear to be doing.

I imagine it refers to the poster. (It is called a "pin-up" because you pin it up on the wall, i.e. fix it to the wall with drawing pins or similar.)

The woman with the lamp shade on top of her head. I don't see her as completely nude, however.
