Hello there , It's ok your a busy busy women. Thanks for getting back to me. Yes the bride wants us to choose any style of dress as long as its the same color(watermelon ). If I had to choose any style I WOULD PREFER it to be a whirlingturban dress! I don't want to buy a dress I'm never going to wear again.....and I know if it were a Whirlingturban dress I'd wear it every chance I'd get!
THANK YOU so much! I Hope you have something that comes close to the color. ~MUAH~
You can look at the color by going to the David's Bridal website under Bridesmaid dresses
Hopefully this link works

Hello Katherine, thank you for the terrific comments. I dont make a big song and dance over my pics because they arent necessarily pin ups in the same spirit as the ultra glossy cheesecake work on here. I tend to pitch things at a more low brow and trashy level because of my affection for late 50s men mags. In the UK we dont have that many true pin up models, so I tend to use ladies that have either an off beat attitude or some element of quirkiness about them.

I do love old pulp novel cover art especially the 'Amazing Tales' women in peril images. The square jawed hero almost always had Ray Gun at the ready! The image I used for my avatar is part of a two print set by the artist Terry Pastor whose work includes many iconic album covers for classic David Bowie when he was at his musical peak. Check them out here:
