to achieve that bombshell look
the only thing not really working much for me are my boobs, I find them too big but O well
I love the Pin Up look. So beautiful
How I did it: I befriended a local photographer and also befriended the self-timer on my camera! I eventually lost about 35 pounds (still going too) which really helped the opportunites and widen the spectrum when it comes to clothing and scene options.
Lessons & tips: Practice in the mirror! The best tip ever. Look at all the Elvgren, Varga, and Bettie Page photos you can find. Make those cheesecake faces, figure out which poses work best for not only your face and body type but also the poses that you feel the most glamorous in! In the end, it's all about you!

Girl2BCorrupted resuming where i left off

i havent removed this goal
im going to give myself until October to decide if i still want to do this. it is something i want to do before i get too old…
DoveVader is bored to death!
I’ve done alot of photo shoots, and I’m doing a fasion show this saturday. I’m really excited! I still wish I could make some money doing this, but I’m having fun, and it makes me feel really good about myself! So I guess it isnt for money… its for myself, and thats cool too.
I’ve never thought i could be a pinup girl but something about them just amazes me. I wanna feel the way i felt when i was preforming in band and the crowd cheered. I know there is an inner sex kitten inside and i don’t know how to let it out. help me learn how to become a real pinup girl
I’ve played with this idea for a while now; however, as you all may know we lost two ladies this past year who took a BIG piece of Americana with them. Cyd and Bettie (Paige, of course) were two of my idols growing up… I remember seeing them in movies and photos and thinking “Pamela Anderson could NEVER do that.” (lol) Anyway, I was very sad for quit a while after learning of these two great losses, then I had an epiphany…if I am so sad about loosing this huge piece of myself through their deaths, why don’t I do it myself and carry the art/legacy with me. I talked it over with my husband, who has lots of experience with amateur photography, and he agreed that it was a wonderful idea. He has motivated me to do something to correct my perpetually low self esteem for years now and thought this would be the perfect outlet. He is very supportive and I couldn’t be more thankful. I soon realized; however, that I am not so great at basic feminine beautification, much less anything as advanced as the infamous ‘liquid liner.’ I know it may sound dumb, but hair and make-up just haven’t been a big part of who I am up until this point…yes, I am a 24 year old woman who looks (and acts) like an 18 year old…but I figured, what the hell, if I don’t learn now I never will. So yeah, I think this will be good for me. Problem is…I NEED HELP! I have been blessed with a friend in the hair biz who is an artiest in her own right, and has volunteered to go above and beyond to help me out in that dept., as I mentioned before Cody, my husband, has a real talent behind the camera…I’ve had several offers with make-up assistance (although if anyone would like to give some pointers, please feel free) but my main issue is fashion…I have an idea of what I want but where does one find authentic vintage styled clothing, preferably that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg? I’ve checked a couple of local stores…to no avail, I’ve done some on-line shopping, but it’s really more difficult than I expected. What I would love to have is a list of things that are considered must have items, some info on the best places to acquire quality yet reasonably priced merchandise and lots and lots of opinions…I really want to make this work, and I could really use some assistance.
Please and thank you,
Savvy
persephone2222 is going to school to learn
I have always wanted to do some form of modeling and Pin up modeling seems the best so far because I could never be rail thin but I have a very healthy athletic look but not to athletic.
I don’t think I can do this. i mean, I think I’m cute, several other think so too, but I don’t think I want pictures of me around anymore.
For such a long time now I have admired the women who have been Pinups…from Bettie page up until nows Burlesque: Dita Von Teese.
