Very cool! Congrats, Roxie!
I can't wait to see the final product!!
Well, I'm not even American, but I find the Pinup style very amusing and cute. I think it's just the way women should look: sexy and elegant. I can use it both on a night-out or in my classroom, at work. Also, the pin-up attitude is one i like: naughty but also kind of innocent. I feel quite identified with it.
I like the music from that era as well. I love jazz, r&b and everything around it.
this is awesome, i cant wait to see who wins! we have some amazing gals here!
Ok, I should probably explain a little more...
I'm interviewing Roxie Roulette for the article, but I'm going to have a side-column held back for photos and opinions of other pin-ups on this site! So give me a good reason for loving the lifestyle... and I might be asking you for photo permissions!

I Lenion Vile,
Adore pinup because I am able to express myself in a way that was lost through time
Perfect! (=
I love pinup modeling first and foremost because It represents beautiful ladies of all shapes & sizes. There is also a level of classiness that goes along with it, nude or clothed. For me, I got hooked by looking at pictures of my Grandmother from the 50s. She has so much class and beauty and I knew that I wanted to be like that. Lucky for me I got her curves! Once I started researching and realized that there are many others like me, I just got engulfed in it. The clothes, the cars, the culture...everything! Now, for a living I am a pinup model and I buy, sell, & trade vintage clothing, jewelry, & trinkets. It is so addictive and I couldn't live without being a part of this lifestyle.

xoxo,

I love pinup culture because it allows us dolls to be sexy and sweet with a touch of naughty
I am not a pin-up but I am attracted to the style of the mid-20th century pin-ups for the mystique that women possessed then. Women were still on a more virtuous pedestal than they are in modern times. Their beauty was more revered, even as artists like Elgren and Vargas created a more risque, yet playful image that is quite tame by today's standards.
Wow! My desicion is getting harder and harder to make!
I'll be in touch with those I'd like to feature in a week or a little more; keep posting!

I grew up around "vintage" when it was merely "old." The neighborhood I grew up in was built in the ’20s-’30s, so worn hardwood floors and cut glass doorknobs were normal for me. One of my grandmothers was a seamstress, and was a little girl during the Depression. She wouldn't buy new when she could mend! My other grandmother was an antiques dealer, who taught me to beware of manufacturing shortcuts. I always loved their "old" dresses... the flattering cuts, the beautiful fabrics, and the attention to detail. I suppose that dressing in their look is a way for me to step back into their old photographs, and spend a little more time with them.

(Steps away from her computer to make a phone call to her grandma.)
That's a wonderful story! :)
