Oh what I would give to be around in the 50s, if I could travel back in time I know this would be an era I'd stop at. And given the chance, I would definitely give being a pin up girl a go!
Being a 'curvy' girl myself I've always dreamt of the defintion of beauty back then to still be here today. Women are meant to be curvy, we are meant to have more bumps than men because we carry children and it's just the way our bodies, when healthy, are supposed to be. But now it seems that to be considered pretty or good looking you have to have a figure close to that of a man, and a thin man at that! The 20s Twiggy look is still the fashion now, but i say less of the size 0s and more size 12+ real women sizes please!
Anyway...
I just love the whole look of pin-up art and photography, they're so cute and naughty, and I love the fact that it's not all in your face like most magazine models of today. The detail gone into the clothes and lingerie they wear is just as delicate as their perfect hair and make-up.
I've been thinking and I might just have to persuade my boyfriend to use my camera just so i can play dress up and do my hair and make up like a pretty pin-up girl!
