Ooh La La Latex!

I don't know how long latex has been a trend in the lingerie business. Is latex lingerie runway couture or freaky fetish? That question won't keep me up at night, because my only answer is: I like it. Shiny, stretchy, what's not to love? It's like superhero suit meets burlesque. Here are some plastic fantastic fashions:

Viva Van Story

Viva Van Story is my favorite present-day "girly" photographer. Her work is breath-takingly reminiscent of 1940's energy and style. Viva's art features hot rods, bikes, tikis, kitschy kitchens, and a range of gals from positively provocative to sweet cheesecake. Viva's Pinups have it all going on ...Not to mention that she books the loveliest models! See for yourself:

Miss Mosh

I absolutely adore Miss Mosh. If I were to choose a favorite model, it's Mosh, no doubt about it! I was completely starstruck when I saw her in Dr. Sketchy's at the tattoo convention Ink 'n' Iron. This post will be a tribute to her. View and enjoy, the young, gorgeous, successful Miss Mosh:

Some Modeling Shots

Here are some shots of me! All photography credits to my wonderful friend and roommate Zack. The "Gone Bananas" set was taken in our backyard, and the rest were taken in the forest (our other backyard).

Rockabilly

Before I begin posting some of my own artwork, and various other things I enjoy, I feel the need to give a little insight to my inspirations. Put simply, I am completely infatuated with Rockabilly fashion- the edgy modern tribute to classic pinup beauties. Kustom cars, girls with tattoos, high-waisted capris, cherries, sparrows, and Frida Kahlo. Once my paycheck comes in the mail, I plan to spend some dough at PinUpGirlClothing.com, where you can find styles I am obsessed with, such as these:

Rockabilly has influenced what I wear, what I listen to, and what I draw. More of that to come!
