Welcome to the Lounge, Melanie! Very classy photos. I wished I lived closer to you. Anyone know of a good pin-up photographer in Wisconsin?!

 

[shutterbug]

Thanks for the kind words!!

Thank you so much everyone!

tuppence- my clothes come from all over. The sailor dress and Marie dress are cheepie costumes from hot topic, the peach nightie is vintage, the black dress is Betsy Johnson, and the corset is from Fredrick's.

BoPeep- www.pinuplifestyle.com has a ton of pinup photographers, and you can look them up by city. I'm sure you could find one in your area.

The gil elvgren style painting of me.. I am in awe!! Now where should I put it??

BTW if any of the ladies wants to know the artist, let me know! He painted this of a photograph.

Darhling, wow! You really are a work of art! I think you should hang it above your bed

Lovely,lovely work ladies!

I am officially retired from the front of the camera,but still peruse this forum for inspiration.

Well, I suppose these aren't exactly vintage... in the slightest. unless like me you are a nearly-21 year old who longs for the Golden Era of... the mid 1970s. But I ogle this thread so much I thought hey someone might appreciate these nifty thigh high zebra boots

I really like that the soles and inside of the heels are red:

One more, as a link (one with my whole entire face in it) - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/Vainglory/inappropriatethighhighzebraboots2.jpg
(problems with this photo as per fashion-don'ts I have seen listed on the FL: badly faded (unnatural) hair colour, roots grown out, excessive and unnatural looking blush, bare midriff, shiny pants/leggings worn as pants, parts of undergarments showing... yikes)

Whoo, those are some awesome zebra boots! Now that it's 2010, the 70's are almost officially "vintage", right?

Let's keep in mind, folks, that photos posted in this thread need to have vintage relevance in terms of costuming, makeup etc. Modern bathing suit or underwear shots don't fit the mission statement, thanks.

You are of course right LM, I forgot! I need to get a Esther Williams 40s style swimsuit! I want to order this one, that looks very vintage- maybe in a print if they make it up in that...

I love it!!! My immediate thought was to put it in the kitchen. You look delicious! And it'd be nice to glance at while doing dull kitchen chores.

(i'm not exactly well endowed up north and i think i would look positively 'tween' in a swimsuit)

I love the photos... and the Zebra boots are killer, get_atomized

AnniePancakes - http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/Swimwear ! I love the look of their stuff, their one pieces are super cute too.

I'm totally checking out the pinup network link... Who doesn't want to see themselves as a pin up at least once?

 

[Deleted member 12480]

Femme Fatale

I've been dying to do a photoshoot, it's been too long since I've heard the sweet sound of clicking cameras. Last Friday I enjoyed delicious drinks and an impromtu photoshoot at my friend's house. My theme for the night was poison: I was wore petroleum and a black skull ring. I was trying to look serious, but the spririts went to my head. At least my laughter is evil.

I got mine from oli.co.uk

It's not a bikini, but I'm sure they have some on there.

Or try the Frost French bikinis on the Debenhams website. Some of them are to die for!!

I got mine from mybabyjo. I'm also not the most well endowed, and it looks fine on me - I don't think I'd want to swim laps in it though!

... and this now seems an appropriate moment to add some photos from the pinup for a day shoot I did last year...

 

[cherry lips]

Oh my Miss Jay! You're lovely. Your feet look good enough to eat!
