Tell us about yourself and why you belong on PL.
A couple years ago, Edson C. took on the role himself of creating a networking site for auto-enthusiasts, The Automotive Crossroad. It was extremely successful, and had thousands of members. He has more recently created YourCrate.com, another successful social networking site for DJs and music lovers.

As we began searching for similar sites, Desi kept noticing how much this industry/lifestyle is lacking a hub. There was literally NOTHING like what we were envisioning for PL. The most closely related sites were ones that showcased photos - but that’s ALL they did and were a huge mess. Maybe one or two had a forum, but no one was even using them! We just kept researching and learning and finding all these models, photographers, and clothing companies that were just.. so spread out! Without searching the internet for days, no one would EVER find them. This only added fuel to our fire and helped me define exactly what we wanted the site to become; THE meeting place for ALL people that are inspired by the Pinup Lifestyle. That was to include models, photographers, designers, artists, performers, fans; literally everyone! PinupLifestyle is going to be THE networking hub for members of this Lifestyle.

For the first couple days after launching the site out of beta testing, membership was pretty slow. By day three, we approved a new member: Bernie Dexter! Yeah, Bernie Dexter was member #11 on PL!! You can’t even prepare for that membership completely (and unexpectedly) EXPLODED after that (thank you, Bernie)! In our first week, over 600 members joined PinupLifestyle! 600 quality, contributing members! By week two, we saw models hooking up with photographers and clothing companies, photographers using PL to find cars for their photo shoots. And that’s just the beginning! It is an incredible, indescribable feeling to know that we’ve created something that could quite possible change people’s lives.

Thank you to ALL of you for seeing the potential in this site and for taking the time to help make this as great as it deserves to be! The success of PL truly depends on our members’ activity & contribution of inviting others.
We also have to give a special thanks to our Pinup Madams for jumping in early to help us keep PL properly maintained. Believe us, you do not want to cross the Madams! They take their mission seriously. You can read more HERE about the Madams and refresh your memory on PL's policies.


We hope that you share with us a sense of pride and accomplishment for what the site already is, and will become. Each and every one of you are all a very important component to PL, and it will take all of us to maintain the quality we have already achieved. We have an amazing community here. We can already see so many wonderful possibilities for PL itself, and for our members because of PL! I am so looking forward to the future!


So be good, welcome, and enjoy! =D

Thanks for telling me about your site on twitter! Now that I'm on it (and actually had time to look around!) I totally agree there is NOTHING out there like this... and it's so amazing to see what a great community is here and how active it is! I don't think even I realized how much of a lifestyle it really is, being in fashion I always knew I loved the "style" but after seeing people's profiles I'm realizing I relate to way more than the duds!! so happy you encouraged us to join!!

Thanks guy's. I really appreciate that. PL has been my home away from home. The first thing I do when I come home from work is check in to see what you guys have been up to. What better way to start a new year than to share each day with my wonderful friends at Pl. Thanks again and believe me the feelings are mutual. Richie
