How to be a pin-up model by it_burns_us

"I went to a calendar casting call, posed my lil' butt off, and got the job."

How I did it: Found a casting call on craigslist.  Thought to myself, "Hey, I can do that". I looked up pin-up poses and looked through a lot of pics. I made it into a locally produced calendar, and then started getting more pin-up shoots from there!  Now, I don't get paid often, but I am still a pin-up girl. :)

Lessons & tips: Confidence is key to being a pin-up.  Being a perfect weight or shape is not.  Work on your poses and facial expressions to get "the look".  Pin-up is about style and attitude.  Don't be afraid to do it, just go for it.

I needed parental permission anyway :( Read how I did it…

    I am Leanne Leadbetter, I really want to get into modelling. It has been a dream job since I was about 7, unfortunately with my mum having another 3 children I have not been able to sort this out earlier, It would be a dream come true xxxx

    I want to be a pin-up model 10 months ago

    At 5’3 my height is definitely against me. But Bernie Dexter is petite too, and I’m not going to let my height stop me from making it! And if I fail, at least I tried _

    Ahahaha! I do not know how I am actually going to do this. I have a graceful, slender figure with beautiful curves, but I am flabby and still need to firm up a lot of places. I also lack confidence in myself. Guess working on my confidence should be in my list, too.

    I’m super excited to work on this one. My family has a kind of pin up theme-y room and I’m puttin’ mine on the wall! Ha, some people might think thats weird, but, whatever.

    My shoot isn’t scheduled yet, but I’ve been reviewing a a few different photographers in the area and their portfolios and such.
