Tell us a little about yourself! (details or get declined)

Let me first say that I am everything, not just pinup, Im completely versatile and my style and image always changes. I LOVE the culture and have always been into the 50's, I just like to be eclectic.

Hello world, I’m V.V and my mind is EXTRAORDINARY…Everyone knows me as “Vintage Vandalizm” because of my work and photographs..I’m an ARTIST, so my imagination plays a huge role in my life..I’m extremely creative and I express that through my fashion sense and my paintings..

I am 22 years old, and for 22 years of my life i have grown to love being the “black sheep”. I dance to the beat of my OWN music and nothing else matters. I Love history so I’m an old fashioned kind of gal, but my style is a mix of every era. I can be pin-up one day, rock and roll the next, avant-garde the following day, you just never know what you will see me wearing. When Im not being an exhibitionist, you can catch me in my broken-in leather jacket, baggy jeans, a black tee of some sort, and my cowboy boots.

“Vintage Vandalizm” comes from my love of the “salvation army” a place i call my heaven. I wasnt the richest kid growing up so I learned to deal with what I had and made the best of it. I discovered the Salvation Army when I was 15 and not only was it in my price range, but I was able to stand out with one-of-a-kind pieces, in a school that followed trends. I like having things that are rare, I like knowing when I go outside, no one will have the same outfit as me or even know where it’s from. I acquired an eye for amazing vintage pieces from Chanel to Yves Saint Laurent. Ive been thrifting ever since, It inspired me and I went from painting on paper to painting on my clothes, improvising, taking apart, and sewing things together. I started selling blazers I purchased at SA with my art work on it..It was my guerilla marketing tactic, these customers were walking advertisements of my art and that is how I came up with the name “Vintage Vandalizm”.

Modeling- Well..I started modeling in my hallway (I Still sometimes model in my hallway), not to show off my looks, but to show people how creative I was with my hair, makeup, and MOST IMPORTANTLY my wardrobe. I wanted to show the world what I love about fashion, the amazing things I find, and how fearless I am against this trend-stricken society. Suddenly I started getting tons of messages from numerous clothing designers who wanted me to model for them, and it flew off from there. Ive been on many websites, magazines, and etc. Modeling is fun, but it is more of a hobby than a job for me. You cant keep your looks forever, but talent is endless.

I have many talents so its hard to figure out what i want to do with them, my mind is always running..Sometimes too fast for my own good. I can pretty much do anything, I can sing, dance, paint, draw, model, and etc..You name it, Ive tried it. I think the only thing I’m bad at is cooking.

Through my struggles and my accomplishments I hope to show women out there how to say “f*** you” to everyone who thinks your supposed to look, speak, act a certain way to be considered cool or In-Fashion. Follow your own heart, create your own style, and be your own person.

At the end of the day, If I have inspired someone or have affected them in a positive way, that makes me the happiest person in the world, and It makes it all worth while.
