Hello girls! I want some help!

[Mariella]

Well, I'm a little embarrassed to do this, but I need some advice from you pretty gals :) I'm from Portugal, and it's a place that for some years has been closed from all alternative styles. All my life I've looked up to all those pin up girls along the ages: Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Bettie Paige... (Btw, i'm sorry for my english if I make any stupid mistake.) And all my life i've wanted that different look, and fortunately, it's the look that fits me. Later on the years, every alternative style bloomed over here, and now it's easier to find pin up girls in Portugal.

The problem is... I have some issues with my looks: not that I think that I'm fat, but I'm self-conscious about my belly and my broad shoulders, which I've always wanted to accept as being my body and that it was beautiful.

And the other problem is that I've always wanted to pin-up model on the side, because I want to show other girls that they can feel good about theirselves. But I can't even feel good about myself sometimes! My hair doesn't grow longer, I'm kind of allergic to waxing so I have to use epilators which are really painful, I've thinking of tattoos but I think I'm scared of regretting them. I have all those pin up clothes in my closet and sometimes I'm afraid what everyone will think so I won't wear them..

I just need a little confidence in myself, because I've been bullied in the past for being who I am. Do you have any advice on how I can trust myself enough to do what I've always wanted to do? Thank you so much!!

P.S. sorry again about my english, If i did any mistakes don't take it as an offense or misunderstand :( Thank yooou!

Don't get me started on broad shoulders and belly...im rather wide!
If you have loads of pin up clothes you should go for it and wear them, most of that style of dress pull in at the waist and make you look fantastically curvy. They give shape which looks amazing.

Epilators? eeek. I just stick with shaving, can't always afford waxing so don't stress about it!

But still I find it so hard to have that kind of confidence to wear those clothes without thinking of what people think of me... There are a lot of clothes that I wear, but for instance I have two corsets and only one of them I've wore but with a cardigan on it kind of hiding that it was really a corset.

Idk, I love my clothes, maybe I don't have the self-esteem to wear them. And to be a model..

The secret to success is self esteem and confidence. Nothing; not looks, weight, hair... nothing, is more important. Everyone has to find it in their own way, but when you do, you'll be a success!

Oh thank you... Do you think that with experience I will find it or just with time?

The original pinup girls had womanly curves and in the Renaissance Era, "chubby" girls were considered the most beautiful. As the other ladies said, it's all about confidence and how you carry yourself. Also, if you are a beautiful person on the inside, it will radiate from within and people will see it on the outside as well.

My best advice is fake it until you make it. We all have things that we dont like about ourselves (and as women most of us are constantly thinking about them when we get dressed, etc.) even the girls who you see and think that they are perfect. I pretended that I didnt care what people thought about me, I dressed how I wanted and even though I felt uncomfortable with it at first, I pretended that I was completely confident...and then one day I honestly was. So do yourself up, put on your prettiest pinup outfit and walk outside with your head held high. Ignore the knots in your stomach. Remember that every woman has imperfections and insecurities. Hope this helps Darling
