I had a birthday and received some pin-up platform shoes! They look all innocent, from this angle.

Until you turn them around. And ka-pow! Check out the height of these babies. Luckily they are platforms, which make them so much easier to walk in.

Red PinUpHeels Back

And less we not forget the sweet curvy sides! What’s the old saying: ‘What are 3 things, in your closet you can wear these with?’

I’m planning on pairing these with a black and white tunic–this cute,vintage-inspired tunic, is from Forever 21 [borrowed from my daughter's closet].

PinUp Stripes with Red Heels

And maybe the floral slip dress, which is really just a 1980′s silk slip, perfect for Spring 2010.

May Pinup of the Month – Candace Campbell

May 13, 2009 by pikesan

I saw Ms. Candace at the Pinupalooza show during Viva Las Vegas, but I didn’t know it since she didn’t have the stunning red hair in the picture below. Plus, when flanked by hotties like Sabina Kelly, Dayna Delux and Heidi Van Horne, it’s easy to get distracted. None the less we’re friends now and here’s some info about May’s Pinup of the Month: Candace Campbell.

I was born in a small Louisiana parish. You’re looking at a genuine born and raised southern belle.

Since I was little I’ve been amazed by the mysterious blues lounge singers of new Orleans and fascinated with the glamorous vintage Hollywood and retro pin up style of the 40s. This explains why I am able to capture that classic essence so comfortably. I am a mix of the two worlds.

I was inspired by the bravery of elegance of Bettie Page, Marilyn Monroe, and Audrey Hepburn to name a few. I began collecting vintage clothes from the 1920’s through the 1950’s and learned about the details of dressing vintage from head to toe. I found out that not only were women dressed perfectly, but the underlying fashion was so much more interesting than today! In fact, it led to my first shoot.

I decided to take some classic pinup shots in 40’s lingerie as a present for my loves birthday. Soon after, by chance an important lady saw those pictures and I was asked to test shoot for Playboy Magazine. This was the start of my modeling career. I now specialize in Pinup and high fashion modeling. My love for the vintage style also led me to be a hairstylist so I’m now a celebrity stylist specializing in pinup and Hollywood glamor styles. I been blessed to work with some of the best models, celebrities, photographers, make up artist, hair and wardrobe stylists, magazines and burlesque dancers in the world.

I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, where I have been taking Sin City by storm with my sexy pictures. I am available for shoots and willing to travel anywhere with expenses paid. Please just let us know!

What about Pinupalooza?

Phantom Entertainment’s behind PINUPALOOZA at the Harmon Theater during every Viva Las Vegas car show. With Celebrity Hosts and Pinup Girls “Sabina Kelley”, “Dayna Delux” and “Candace Campbell”. The 2009 event featured 2 very special burlesque performances by the lovely “Anabel Of The Ball” along with musical stylings of DJ Slick. Dayna, Sabina and Candace were also signing prints and calandars. Us 3 girls host it every year but for 2009, we had rockabilly band “Will and the High Rollers”.

For 2010 we plan on making it even bigger by having more burlesque includind a special performance by Sabina Kelley and 3 additional guest pinup appearances as well. We might have another rockabilly band. Everything’s falling into place now, but we’re keeping the models and burlesque ladies a secret as of now… We promise its gonna be the best pinupalooza yet!

Vintage Can Be Sexy for Halloween

Pixie — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:12:17 +0000

Halloween has become a holiday enjoyed not only by children but by adults as well for an entirely different set of reasons. It has been said that October 31st is the one day out of the year where inhibitions can be shed and modesty can be put to the side. It is a day in which it is completely socially acceptable to don an outfit you would only dream of wearing in your wildest fantasies. Halloween gives us the opportunity to loosen up a little bit and maybe even show some skin. It allows us to unleash our sexy side and let the sex pot within make an appearance. And, in the grand scheme of things, letting our sex pot out one day of the year may very well lead to her making an appearance more regularly. Here are some tips for creating a sexy Halloween holiday that might just stick with you year round.

Fulfill Your Fantasies

Halloween provides us with an excellent opportunity to fulfill our fantasies. What character or role have you played in your fantasies? Were you a sexy schoolgirl? A naughty nurse? Maybe you were a mysterious geisha, a sensuous senorita, or a provocative pirate. On this day, you can be whoever you want. You are no longer Jennifer, the accountant. You are now a commanding officer or a sensual maiden. Whatever your fantasy may be, look for a costume that best reflects a character you’ve fantasized about being.

Define Your Style

When picking a costume, it is important to know what your style of sexy is. Are you mysterious sexy? Cute sexy? Seductive sexy? Sporty sexy? Knowing what style of sexy you are will help you choose a costume that best matches your underlying sensuality and will help you feel more comfortable in fulfilling your fantasy role.

Complement Your Assets

Each of us have features that others find attractive. When searching for a costume, it is important to identify your assets and then look for something that will complement those assets. If your legs are your best feature, look for a costume that accentuates your legs. If your bust is your best feature, find a costume that reveals your cleavage. Perhaps you’ve been told you have a to-die-for derriere. In this case, choose a costume that draws attention to your caboose. Got a nice set of abs? Look for an outfit that reveals your mid drift. Finding a costume that enhances your best features will help you feel more comfortable and more attractive in your costume.

Pack a Punch

Look for accessories that will really drive home the theme of your costume. This can include finding a pair of shoes that seamlessly match your costume’s concept. If you’re a sexy cowgirl, grab a pair of cowgirl boots; a ballerina, look for ballerina slippers; a Greek goddess, find a pair of gold gladiator heels, etc, etc. Also, look for stockings, jewelry, gloves, and any other accessories that will complement your outfit and help complete the picture.

Get comfortable

Before Halloween arrives, try on your costume and get comfortable in it. Nothing diminishes sexiness more than feeling uncomfortable and ill at ease in an outfit. Try on your costume and get used to how it feels on you. Wear it while you do simple pastimes or household chores. Sweep in it, dust in it, read in it. The idea here is to get accustomed to the way it fits on your body. Once you feel that you are comfortable in your costume, find a mirror and admire yourself in it. Admire how the costume accentuates your features and feel free to admit that your look good in it. Then be sure to role play. Watch yourself in the mirror and get comfortable with your new persona.

Now that you’ve found the costume that fulfills your fantasies, represents your style, & accentuates your assets, and you’ve accessorized and gotten comfortable with your new costume, you’re ready to live the fantasy. Get into character and go with it. Enjoy the way it feels to get out of your own skin for a bit. Relish the self-confidence and power that you feel in this new role. Be sure to capitalize on the moment and truly become your fantasy persona. And remember, the more you enjoy the experience, the more likely it is you will take your sexy with you long after Halloween is over.

Katy Perry’s Famous Vintage Pinup Style

Pixie — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:12:06 +0000

Her breakthrough single “I Kissed a Girl” established Katy Perry in the music world. However, her fashion caught the attention of designers even before she released the song that became a world-wide hit. Born as Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson in California US, Katy Perry (as she likes to be called) is distinguished for wearing unconventional style of dresses, often combining colors and vintage fashion, as well as associating outfits with fruits.

The young pop star has generated as much controversy with her songs, particularly “Ur So Gay” and “I Kissed a Girl”, as much as she did with her costumes, some as weird as ice-cream cones and carousels. What’s remarkable is that Katy pulls off the craziest of outfits flawlessly and they look fabulous on her. An established singer-songwriter and musician, Katy can be as effortless in facing millions of her fan over a guitar as she is posing as a pin-up girl in flowery outfits teamed with sexy high heel stilettos, her dark tresses styled in soft Dita von Teese curls to give her a timeless seductive look.

Katy’s famous vintage style
Katy Perry is very stylish but she is always in the eyes of the fashion police. According to the songstress herself, she “doesn’t mind being a regular on the worst dressed lists”. As long as she is experimenting she is “totally OK with ending up in the ‘worst dressed.’ It’s happened many, many times, but I’m proud of those outfits,” Katy claims.

The singer describes her unconventional fashion style as “a bit of a concoction of different things”. Though she also claims, “I have my own look, which I call ‘Lolita meets old Hollywood Glam.’”. She pompously names actress and burlesque performer Dita Von Teese and Cyndi Lauper as her icons. “I’m a big fan of Dita Von Teese, because she does it all herself. That is her job: to look fabulous going to the grocery store.”

Fun Fun Fun

Her stylist Johnny Wujek, who’s worked with her for album and magazine covers, red carpets, and music videos, describes her style as “very colorful and vintage”. She is not afraid to make a statement. If there is something that Wujek thinks would be too much; Katy would be like, “Amazing idea!” The celebrity stylist during an interview stated, “I think it’s cool that Katy’s so free-spirited and just kind of loves fashion as an art form.”

“A nice dose of sexiness” makes a person look stylish according to Perry and says she likes to wear dresses that are fun, colorful and happy. According to some fashionistas, the most enchanting facet of Katy’s fashion sense is that she can look ravishingly sexy and innocent at the same time. While many pop stars try hard but miserably fail to achieve this look, but with Perry, you get the sense that it’s no act.

Her fruit fixation
A peculiar aspect of Perry’s style is her noticeable fixation for fruit accessories. “It started with my obsession of the 1940s and cherry charm bracelets and strawberry and cherry pattern baskets on women’s dresses,” explains the star who “loves anything fruit”. You can often notice her eclectic get-up complimented with fruit-shaped accessories such as strawberry barrettes, watermelon earrings or sequined bananas. For her performance at the Grammy’s, Katy chose a bedazzled, fruit-encrusted mini-dress complete with watermelon-shaped bra cups. Stylists often comment that fruits accessories have become a staple of Katy’s dressing.

Her affinity for shoes
Fashionistas who have watched Perry’s fashion sense closely claim that the pop sensation loves clothes, shoes and accessories possibly even more than recording a number one single. If you observe her pictures, you can easily notice that Katy is head over heels about high heel shoes. Perry’s selection of shoes is often appreciated by the accessories watchers. The color, style and heels of her shoes gel naturally with her costume and other accessories. If you just take a look at the choice of her shoes, you can observe just how sexy the right pair of shoes can look.

According to experts, Katy’s preference of shoes displays the influence of old school pop-rockers such as Cindy Lauper and Pat Banatar. The ‘Ur So Gay’ singer’s immaculate taste in shoes shows that Perry is well aware of the fact that the key to looking great is on paying attention to all the details.

Katy’s fondness for a fabulous pair of stiletto shoes is famous. Her sporty colorful high heel stilettos always seem to do justice to her funky and often jaw-drooping outfits. Pumps, court shoes, ankle strap sandals and t-bar shoes appear to be her favorite style provided they are fitted with spindly stiletto heels. Perry can often be seen sporting shoes by Christian Louboutin and Sonia Rykiel. Her favorite shoe designers though are Nicholas Kirkwood and Steve Madden. Katy often adorns her fancy feet with their vibrant and exotic creations.

Sexy Halloween Costumes

Dixie — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 14:00:51 +0000

Costumes are becoming very popular during Christmas, Halloween and theme parties. These costumes bring out the theme of the party and set it flowing. The attractive costumes add to the party decor and form a conversation topic among ladies. Where have you bought this wonderful costume from? Have you bought it on a discounted rate? Is this costume expensive? – are some of the endless questions that would be parried forth in the ladies corner. Aren’t we all human enough to love the compliments we get for our dresses?

Make sure you choose the correct costume for a theme party. Like, don’t go dressed as Superman in a Stone Age theme party. To avoid such confusion, hosts include the theme of the party in the party invitations. As you go to a Halloween get together, you are sure to have at least some surprises as you try to guess the identity of masked faces of your friends! Halloween parties are very popular in America.

If you have forethought, you shall plan in advance and avoid the eleventh hour confusion. That is the reason why guests are informed so many days in advance for theme parties so that they may plan their look and buy or rent the costume they wish to have. Most adult couples are fond of the Halloween sexy costumes as it makes them look smart and sultry. Couples try to wear coordinated apparels for Halloween parties. For example, a rugged wizard and a scary witch together.

The usually bought Halloween sexy costumes for couples are:

o Adam and Eve

o Batman and Catwoman

o Aladdin and Jasmine

o Caveman and Cavewoman

o Hercules and Zena

For the sexy look, the Halloween sexy costumes are either made tight to the skin or shorter than the regular. Either way, the body shape is exposed, which creates a very sexy environment. Wearing sexy Halloween costumes, couples get closer and reignite the passion which had gotten lost in the daily routine of work. Thus, one can argue that while wearing Halloween sexy costumes, couples that were drifting apart can get closer. The whole idea of a Halloween party is to come together and have a great time.

Sexy Halloween costumes are available for all men and women, and all sizes-even plus sizes. For adult plus size costumes, you don’t need a tailor to stitch the costumes for you. These days you get most of these sizes in costume shops, shopping malls, and online shops. Most big costume shops have their websites, which exhibit the photographs of all the costumes that are available. You can browse through the various adult plus size costumes and select the one you want. Then, to buy, you have two options.

The customer may make a previous choice of a dress online and then go visit the shop’s showroom. Take care to note down the item code of the dress that had been liked, else precious time would be spent in finding it. If the customer has a home or office printer, then a printout of the dress may be taken and shown to the shopkeeper during physical purchase.

This shopping method helps you save time which your local shopping malls do not. Secondly, you can also try out the dresses selected online beforehand. In some cases the design selected online does not look equally good when seen actually. Then you can always give up your previous selection and make a new choice.

The second buying option is that you can buy the adult plus size costumes online by using a credit card or debit card. The major advantage with this buying method is that you can get your costume at your doorstep. However, there are disadvantages too.

Firstly, you cannot tryout these costumes and secondly the delay due to shipment. Check for the terms and conditions of online shopping before making any payment online.

Raymond Plona is the leading marketer for adult costumes and his store holds plenty of different thematically outfits for different occasions. Some examples are adult costumes, Thanksgiving costumes, men’s costumes, poodle skirt costumes, intimate lingerie, pirate costumes and so on.
