Okay, after reading the descriptions, 2 of the gals are into cheesecake modeling. After the first one I read, I thought okay, she advertises for places like the Cheesecake Factory. Then there was a 2nd gal's description that mentioned cheesecake modeling...then it got me to thinking, it must not be the Cheese cake factory type of stuff. Anyone know what they are talking about?

Big T, good to see you around. Hope you and The Bingstress are doing well.

 

[Matt Deckard]

Bella's for this fella.

Is my vote!!

 

[Skywlkrinc]

ITG,
Cheesecake is photography of attractive women in minimal attire, also known as "pin-ups".

[Biltmore Bob]

Ava will save ya...er whatever.

I think that Nasty Canasta is a man.

I Missed this too!

I am gone 1 week and the votes are already in! :cry: Well, Ava would be my choice so I am glad her votes were the highest. Julia's description sounded really good but I guess this is based on both looks plus background and not just looks. Right? I have to give all these girls credit though. I couldn't do this...well, I could, but in private.

I stand to correct myself...Ethel Lynn has the highest votes. Oh, well.

Hey girls, why don't we have a go!! We do vintage very well. I like classy vintage though, style rather than total cheesecake, so I guess I'd never have a chance.

 

[The Wolf]

Good idea

Swinggal, that would be a good idea. jitterbugdoll posted some that looked great. I believe the ladies of The Lounge could capture the cute girl-next-door appeal that the old pin-ups had that many of the new models forget about.

Hi Swing Gal~Classy Vintage would be so much fun to do! I'd love to have the category change from pin-up to that too. What would everyone prefer? Pin-Up or Classy Vintage (which is in my opinion-upscale glamorously sexy)

Ooooo, we should do a calendar! I was just browsing a thread on here that mentioned Fedora Lounge merchandise. The F.L. needs a pin-up calendar!

PS-- I voted for Ava. I think she looked the most authentic out of all the girls

 

[jitterbugdoll]

A calendar would be fun! I've seen other sites do "Girls of Swing" calendars and the like that were cute, tasteful and delightfully vintage.

I know I’d love the opportunity to be included in a Fedora Lounge calendar!

 

[Matt Deckard]

Fedora Lounge Calendar is a grand idea.
I've seen many and own some of the local swing calendars from the LA scene and they are pretty cool.

I know one of the locals that helped put the LA scene calendars together. Any other ladies interested?

Avid photographer,

Matt Deckard.

I thought the Virginia Beach calendar was really neat--each girl brought an Elvgren pinup to life.

But if we're thinking more Hollywood glamour, the Perth Girls of Swing Calendar was also nice.

It would be neat to give each month a theme of sorts...

I'm sure we can rustle up a few more girls!

Not sure if any of you are familiar with Sophia Wolff, but she teaches jive and '50s dancing at the big rockabilly weekenders. I know she put one together some time back. I could pick her brain about this.
I hope this is something we decide to do! I can also help cut costs... I am a graphic designer and worked many years in photography and digital photo editing. I have experience in laying out books, calendars, etc. and would be happy to do it!
C'mon ladies, speak up!

 

[ITG]

I wonder if Cafeshops would be option.
Check out this calendar here.
Maybe MK could set up an account with them and proceeds could go to helping pay for the Fedora Lounge site? I'd be up for a classy vintage calendar but not for a pinup style with scantilly clad clothing style one.
