The links you attached are great examples. I would say use old photos like that as inspiration. That is what I am doing with my new art series. But yes, keep it classy.
I can't believe it has been 8 years since the last post on this thread! I mean, I guess I can since it's been awhile since I have taken any pinup photos myself. I wanted to share this one that I thought some of you all would enjoy. You can see a few more at my blog Vintage Starlet. Nothing too risque... just a Sleepy Time Gal! photo by Minert Photography
Well, I'm so damn old here... I am part of the original vintage FL party! I'm just trying to get conversation going again like it did in the "good ol' days" of the Lounge. Ahahhaha
I wouldn't say this is exactly pinup, more (non-Hurrell style) classic Hollywood, but I can't think of a better place to post these... if there is a better thread let me know. You can see a couple more photos on my blog Vintage Starlet.
I am so happy you enjoy them. I really hope other gals start posting some photos soon too. I have a couple more I want to post but I don't want to turn this into the Lolita Haze Vanity thread! Ahahaha
Time and again Loungers have told me not to worry when I have posted more than most in a thread. If you want an example just scroll down this link. So don't get any hang ups, you are not only photogenic you also have a talent for posting well. You are not one to repeat yourself, rather you describe your posts in a way that makes it a good read for others. And who knows, you might just inspire some confidence in other ladies. Loungers are not noted for opprobrium so just go for it.
Thanks for the boost, gents!! I hope it inspires others to add their own pinups. Here are a couple from my latest shoot. As always you can see more on my blog VintageStarlet!
WOW! Now those are really dreamy! thanks for posting and I am going to check out your blog now. You look like a 1930s Hollywood starlet just about to break big! Clarke Gable will be phoning you soon great work!
Thank you! It's funny you say that because afterwards I thought it kind of reminded me of this Rita Hayworth photo! I really appreciate you visiting my blog!! Thank you!
Being uncharacteristically honest: I’m a fan. We are all rational human beings who acknowledge that there is nothing wrong with being human. In fact, being a breathing person comes with (hopefully) much needed moments of validation, acceptance and belonging. Carry on, ladies. You are amazing! I respect you, gently admire you (very gently) and envy you. In the best possible sense. The added “vintage” touch is an absolute bonus.
okay maybe my replies were removed because I'm not allowed in these threads because I am in the FOR THE LADIES section? sorry about that. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to post a comment in here.
Sometimes we miss which specific forum we're dealing with, but yes, the Front Parlor section is open to both men and women.
