Pin-up Possibility?





I really love pin-up girls  because the modeling allows for anyone to do it. There's no, you can't have brightly coloured hair or large piercings,or, you aren't a size two so you can't be one of the top. Yes I realize there are many different types of styles and models, but I thoroughly enjoy the pin-up variety because there seems to be less criteria that HAS to be matched, more room for everyone and such.
PS. ( on my next birthday I so want to do a pin-up girl photo shoot, fully clothed of course)

Plus, I'm a sucker for vintage and retro clothing. That red striped shirt I got at a vintage store in Sebastopol. I think I have worn it more than most of my other button up shirts. I particularly like it because it reminds me of Mary Poppins.

Steps to a simple, easy retro style:
1. Red lipstick
2. Curls ( if you can do pin curls they will last longer) and a pompadour
3. Black winged eyeliner (on the top lid only and liquid works the best)
4. Whatever vintagey kind of clothing you have, put it on ( looking online for outfit suggestions is always helpful)

Though the clothing aspect of the look is important, I think the hair and makeup really Make the style.

I Hope You All have a Wonderful Day!
