:( Just seeing you two talk about this for the past few months has been horrible. I can't imagine actually being in the midst of it. I thought it was bad when I was flushing away the candida and was relegated to eating basically chicken & rice for a…

I love you. Have I told you how much I love you? Because I love you. And I just realized that I'm writing this from my other account, not my Winky account, but so be it. You're smart and will figure it out. And also? I had just taken a break from OH…

Death Wears a Hair Bow or, The Beast Awakens

Preamble (and I do mean “amble”, with an “r”): For your consideration, I've *** the meat of this, 'cos Mamma likes to train-of-thought it like a dirty hippie when she's exhausted. Although you'll miss all the bits where I cuss and pick a fight and m…

A Diet Rich in Irony

This is something of a thinking-out-loud post. I appreciate any helpful input!

As anyone who has seen my forum activity could tell you, I love food. I love it!
I love it in ways that are unnatural and maybe even illegal in 23 states.

Helena Handbag: Pinup Hottie & All-round Badass!

Along with the ink drawing for HellInAHandbag, I also did a set of pinup sketches. HIAH had said she loved the Poppy Fields sketches and that was what I was intending to send to her. Then I sat down to draw and the other lot came out instead.
But once I got that out of my system, the sketch… Continue

Interview

Which best describe your role in the industry?

Artist, Designer, Just a Fan, Vendor

What genres of pinup are you most interested in?

Pinup, Burlesque, Classic, Modern Retro, Fashion, Rockabilly, Alternative, Psychobilly

Describe your own style in one sentence. Be creative!

Victorian gothic Prussian military Weimar rivethead glamourific punk in pink?

Tell us about yourself and why you belong on PL.

Not just interested, not quite obsessed, but definitely fixated!

---------------------------------- oOo ----------------------------------

In my next life, I want to be Jessica Rabbit.

My pinup cred' includes being spawned by an former biker ducktail and having my first crushes on Bowser and The Fonz (and Dr. Spock, but that's another story.) I was also the leader of an otherwise all-boy gang in kindergarten. Badass enough? ;D

My personal style is more Victorian-gothic-Prussian-military than retro, although I often do the "sexy librarian" thing. I worship the designers of the 40's and 50's; the masters of construction and form like Madame Grès, Jacques Fath and Elsa Schiaparelli. Yes, I am a (insufferable) costume & fashion geek!

I've been collecting vintage and antique pieces since I was a child, mostly jewellery and accessories. I am too tall and broad-of-shoulder to fit into most true vintage. This is probably for the best: one less thing for me to collect! (I have a Hello Kitty problem. For someone who wears so much black, I sure do love pink.)

The revival of pinup style is so fantastic! The glamour, the attention to detail - to me it demonstrates confidence and self-respect. It encourages women (of diverse shapes and sizes) to be women again, even if only on weekends. Any excuse to wear gloves and birdcage hats!

I *adore* pinup and tattoo art, both old and new skool, leaning heavily towards the classic themes. Discovering new artists - both traditional & textile - is how I spend an obscene amount of my time. I concentrate on drawing pinups - just loooove the curves! Hope to integrate this into my business and make it my primary focus eventually. Happiness! Satisfaction!

My interests and tastes are diverse; I look forward to being constantly inspired here!

---------------------------------- oOo ----------------------------------

I tweet! Usually about food. I'm not predictable, I'm dependable
I collect! I am hopelessly and unapologetically addicted to deviantArt. Something new every day
I desire! Favourite etsy items & sellers. Sparkles and ruffles abound
I swoon! Vintage beauties & fashion. Black & white FTW

---------------------------------- oOo ----------------------------------

Now share something interesting about you that no one would ever guess!

I am a synesthete
