    Hi sweetheart...well research is the key...look up all you can and start emulating it.Start booking shoots with pinup photographers.That helps alot...ask some of the better established pinup models...
    But really start getting clothes...hair accessories..pick the type of hairstyle you like the most...and run with it.Its not totally hard to become one.Its also a networking thing...
    Shoot with as many people as u can.Hit the conventions..promote yourself.Get a good portfolio built..after you have a good enough port then set your rates.when you are first starting out people wont pay u.Get in touch with some clothing companies...audition for model calls..etc... you can also net work on modelmayhem.com and myspace.com and of course this fabulous place..

    I would get a good portfolio started. Do some typical pin up shoots but also think of some original things to. Build some good working relationships with other pinups and photographers. And post pictures. Modelmayhem.com and PL are good places to start.

    Hello Ashley. The previous post pretty much sum it up.Contact with photographers, other models, and research. Looking at tons of pictures to start and try to pose in the style your looking for. Practice , practice, practice...do in front of a mirror so you see what your doing.

    Good luck and welcome to PL

    Hello Ashly,
    The most important thing is to find a good well known photographer to work with. The reason I say this is the better known the photographer the better your chances are for exposure. Finding a MUAH who knows how to do pinup styles is a big plus! Hope this helps
