Lol I've done that to sites too. I'll some some ridiculously bad things and skip over the rest. Then I'll pull up another search on something else and the site will come up with some really nice things.Originally Posted by Rebecca D
Well in any case, if anyone wants the code just PM me.
Sometimes the mind, for reasons we don't necessarily understand, just decides to go to the store for a quart of milk.
I've been asked to do a pin-up photo shoot. It just about floored me. Personally, I still think I'm too heavy for any kind of modeling (now that the plus-sized company I did some work for in the past says I'm too thin), but I trust her judgement. The photographer is an aspiring artist, although I think her work is fantastic, and this will be her first pin-up style shoot. What do I need to know going into this? It's a month away, so I'm planning on at least one new dress. When I get pics of all my vintage patterns, I'll ask for help. For now, can you ladies give me some kind of idea as to what photographs well, colors to look for or stay away from, full skirt vs wiggle, ect? Knowing her work, it probably won't be a straight forward pin-up shoot. Most of her work involves blood and monster-type make-up, vampires being a favorite subject. Thanks!

Lucky Girl! I have no idea what advice to give but I will be reading this thread closely. I am going to experiment with a friend as well with this type of photography soon. Right now I am the collecting props, finding inspiration shots and selecting a wardrobe.
You'll look great! Can't wait to see the finished product.

I have no clothing ideas, I just wanted to say pish-posh that you're to heavy for this shoot--you look fantastic and I'm sure the photos will be great.
She sounds like an interesting photographer--you will post some of the finished product, won't you?

There are no specific clothing types to go with or stay away from. The most important aspect when picking your wardrobe is to pick items that flatter you and make you feel sexy!
Also, the key to good pinup photography is having props to make it interesting. Think of a theme and work with it.
What about looking at some books of the classic pin ups and taking it from there? Weather that be recreating one as they have it or just using the over all theme. Congrats! I am sure they will be wonderful pictures. Loosing weight is hard but this has got to be gratifying.
Barnes an Nobel has a book called The great American Pinup in it's bargain book section. It;s a great resource with almost a thousand pictures from various artist. It might be good for inspiration. I think you'll be great. I have wanted to do a pin up shoot for a while now but havent found anyone to do it.
I look at you and what do I do. I get weak, I can't speak, I just sigh. And though I try, the best I can sigh is my,my.

kamikat - there is no perfect size or anything like that - the perfect size is the one you feel happy with! You must have made your artist friend happy, or she wouldn't have asked you! You're fabulous darling
Yes, bring clothes you feel amazing in - and ones which will make your eyes pop if you're shooting in color. You feeling frisky will be the best costume you can have!
