I saw some rumblings about this in the forum and I have wanted to do something like this! I have been sending some of my prints to the troops for a while, but I would love to assist in doing more. I would love it if we could get a care package together for Christmas with pin up prints and other unique goodies for the soldiers. We could talk to Jonathan (the one who started the thread in the forums) and get some ideas on how we could go about it and what he thinks would be best to…

Lately, I have been trying to master my "pin up" makeup, especially the red lips. I discovered a really cool secret through trial and error, so I thought I would share! First of all, I tried the whole lipliner thing and I just couldn't get the hang of it. No matter what I did, it looked smudged and gross. So, I decided to take a different approach. What I do now is, first I moisturize my lips with a thick moisturizer, let it set and wipe it off. Then I take a really fine lip brush and put a…

So yeah, I posted this in the forums, but just in case some of my profile visitors don't go to the forum, I decided to post it here. I got a couple of great responses already and I am down for any more insight!

I never really considered these "fetishy" until I started looking online to buy some, so I guess they are.
Anyway, I am currently looking for a nice pair of ballet boots to wear for a photoshoot. I have a whole concept in my head…

One of the women who inspired me in the "classic" style is Ava Gardner. Ever since I was young, I admired her. Not only was she beautiful, but she was a classic brunette and something that I aspired to be. She is what I think of when I think "movie star". Other brunettes might look to Audrey Hepburn and, of course, the blondes have Marilyn, but I have always loved Ava. I hope to bring some of her style into my own…

So, I wrote a blog about the photoshoot I was doing with Dave Rodrigue on film, which is a first for me. He has a really unique style. He takes some pics on digital, to get the pose, and then takes the main ones on film. Anyway, I will have the film ones soon, but he just sent me a sample from the shoot. Here's a digital pic we took. We shot sooo much that I can't wait to see the rest. This is NOTHING compared to what we did. I can't wait to see…

Whenever I have a "pin up" shoot, I always ask myself the same question; what exactly is pin up style? It seems to be such a wide range of things. Anything can really be called "pin up". I guess when I think of a specific style, I think back to the 40's and 50's. I think back to the Ava Gardner and Betty Grable days. They were the classics.
How do you make that translate to a photo? Well, I'm just starting to learn, but what I have picked up so far is that it's not about the obvious…

This is my first blog on here! Woot! Anyway, first of all, how awesome is this site? It's like the pinup part of me and the internet freak part of me got together and had a kid! It's about time there is a place like this for pin up lovers to gather. I had NO IDEA that pin up was the huge phenom that it is. Well, I guess I knew, but seeing it all in one place is pretty awesome.
Moving on, I am so excited about two shoots this weekend. I have a pinup shoot on Friday with a great local…
