"We Are The New Vintage"
Tags:
I'll be honest, I didn't get into pin up until Katy Perry brought it to my attention (which is probably as mainstream as you can get!) But I think that the difference is that, since I have become aware of it, I have been keen to explore it, learn more about it and understand it, as a style and a lifestyle. That may make me a poser, but I'm just happy to be a part of it

my feelings about the topic are as followed...
people only really care about their "lifestyle". when people feel like their "lifestyle" is being invaded by others whom they do not believe to be a part of it or posing, they get angry or upset. fashion is fashion it will always change, be copied and imitated by everyone who finds it to be interesting, cute, pretty, how ever it catches their eye. that is why i say the "lifestyle" is what brings people to defend their choice in style/fashion/lifestyle. we all live our lives differently than others, wether our fashion sense steers twards retro/vintage/pin-up/punk/rockabilly. there is not a standard set of living/lifestyle rules that accompany someone who choses to dress they way they do
if you have to put someone down for not being "pin-up" or cry "i was doing it long before so and so blah blah" you are doing to much...
be comfortable in your own skin and love your life. no one can ever dress a certain way that will discredit you as a person
well. considering that I am a pin up model in training, and I totally don't dress pin up out side of shoots this topic so applies to me.. I guess I would be considered a "pin up poseur" because I don't live the Pin Up "lifestyle" and I don't look the part 100% of the time... what irritates me the most out of ANYTHING is when I pay a complement to a woman who has perfect V rolls, or a great outfit and she looks at me like, "Uhm, don't talk to me, I'm a Pin Up girl".... it breaks my heart but I know she's thinking "oh what a poseur..."
now I know that it is very rare for any of you lovely ladys to do such a cruel thing, so this is not directed at any of you...
as far at Katy Perry Being Pin up. she's not. She's Capitalizing on a Fad/Trend to make lots and lots of cash. that's my opinion.. lol
People coming up to me in the streets or events giving me a compliment about my style gets me nothing but happy and honored that people say nice things!
I believe some people can be a bit snotty towards others but I also believe that it sometimes have to do with bad confidence.
Some people might look like glamorous, confident women but might not know how to take a compliment and therefore can be a bit “eum.. okey.. *look weird at the person saying a nice thing*”
Some people just can’t do the simple “thank you!”.
Of course there will always be people who have bad manners and look down on other people but try not to let them get to you.
Also, I have a friend with tattoos all over her arms. We were out one night at a club (mix between mainstream and semi rockers).
It was summer and she was warm but didn’t want to take off her jacket.
She- God it’s so warm!!
Me- Take of the jacket!
She – No, then I have to spend the evening talking to strangers about my tattoos. I just want to be left alone.
Me – Don’t be silly, people won’t even notice!
*takes of jacket* and 2 seconds later people were on her wanting to compliment, touch, ask about her tattoos.
She actually had to put it on so we could enjoy our conversation…
She really is a nice sweet girl, but after a while she did give people the roll eyes and trying to ignore them.
Impolite, yes, but she just did not have the energy.
So I believe there are more sides to things that some are being bitchy.
I’m a big believer in giving other people compliments and to be positive, don’t stop even if you encounter someone who gives you the “talkin’ to me? look".
At least you have been nice and done something positive, and she can go on being negative.
All people that gets an interest in a subculture/style starts somewhere.
Even Dita did.
