How do you see yourself? Are you a petticoat wearing pearls and gloves kinda square or a hell raising pencil skirt wearing drape? or a mix of both.Or do you identify with something else entirely, victorian romantic, vogue fasionista, tell us.. whats your bag baby!
I love both sides of this pinup lifestyle. but i have to say im a bit more square with aspirations of a vouge fasionista.even though i wanted to be wanda sooo bad! lifes fun isnt it?
"I'm a sqrape. Part square, part drape. Gloves, and pencil skirts! I love Traci Lords' look, and the red dress from the jail scene (looks like Whirling Turban!) but I'm just not enough of a bad-ass to make it convincing."
I have to second the comment made by Wink Holliday. I find my self somewhere in between. I love the corsetted pencil skirt wearing bad ass betties but dont think I could be convincing in that. I do have some of it in my closet however, but It depends on my mood. I tend towards the Classic vintage babe that shows a little garter and stocking under the more innocent frilly frock or vintage dress. Tame on the outside with a little suprise underneath. I think I would call it "Dra-ssic"
As a mom, that square has to come out more often than I like. The whole "play nicely with others" motto. That being said...there's nothing better than a good rumble, a good tumble and a whole lot of attitude! Wanna get in trouble with me?
I love Crybaby! It's one of my favorite movies. It's the reason I got into the rockabilly/pinup style to begin with. I always, always, always wanted to be a drape when I grew up and now that I have I am definitely a drape. I feel more comfortable in that style, and I'm with Frankii, the more leopard print the better ; )
