So remember when I said I was going as a
black swan ballerina this year for Halloween...well I changed my mind. Yup that's my indecisive self again! Anyway I decided I would go as one of my favourite things ever!!! a vintage pin up girl. I love old pin ups. I am really nostalgic and I love the 40's, 50's and 60's including clothing and even music. I became interested in pin ups when Vanity Fair magazine started putting out their "Vanities" photo spreads featuring big hollywood starlets dressed as vintage pin ups; I even started a group on Facebook called
PIN UP GIRLS when I first joined back in the day and the group now has over 3900 members! So I guess I am not alone in my love of pin ups!
So I've been researching costumes, makeup and even hairdo's from that era. I have this cute polka dot romper, a flower pin for my hair, a white belt, some cute nude coloured pumps and I just need some red nail polish and a set of false lashes to top it all off. I Can't wait for the weekend when I will be all done up, but until then here is a little sneak peek at my costume...I will be sure to post pics of me in full costume and makeup next week.

Liz this is an AWESOME costume idea! I loooove it! I've always kind of wanted to get a photo shoot done, dressed as a pin up girl. Just for fun... is that strange? haha Can't wait to see your costume!

Love love love. I love Pinups, I actually thought about getting a tattoo of one. I just couldn't make up my mind which one. Have a great weekend. I'm looking forward to pictures. If you're a pin up is your BF a sailor? That would be cute.
Take care,
Lisa
P.S.
