In my next life, I want to be Jessica Rabbit.
My pinup cred' includes being spawned by an former biker ducktail and having my first crushes on Bowser and The Fonz (and Dr. Spock, but that's another story.) I was also the leader of an otherwise all-boy gang in kindergarten. Badass enough? ;D
My personal style is more Victorian-gothic-Prussian-military than retro, although I often do the "sexy librarian" thing. I worship the designers of the 40's and 50's; the masters of construction and form like Madame Grès, Jacques Fath and Elsa Schiaparelli. Yes, I am a (insufferable) costume & fashion geek!
I've been collecting vintage and antique pieces since I was a child, mostly jewellery and accessories. I am too tall and broad-of-shoulder to fit into most true vintage. This is probably for the best: one less thing for me to collect! (I have a Hello Kitty problem. For someone who wears so much black, I sure do love pink.)
The revival of pinup style is so fantastic! The glamour, the attention to detail - to me it demonstrates confidence and self-respect. It encourages women (of diverse shapes and sizes) to be women again, even if only on weekends. Any excuse to wear gloves and birdcage hats!
I *adore* pinup and tattoo art, both old and new skool, leaning heavily towards the classic themes. Discovering new artists - both traditional & textile - is how I spend an obscene amount of my time. I concentrate on drawing pinups - just loooove the curves! Hope to integrate this into my business and make it my primary focus eventually. Happiness! Satisfaction!
My interests and tastes are diverse; I look forward to being constantly inspired here!
