Retro Bowling Shirt

Popular in America since at least the 1950′s, vintage and retro bowling shirts are currently most associated with the character Charlie Harper on the television show Two and a Half Men. They are considered to be “dressy” casual wear, suitable for most events that don’t require a tie and they still work in the bowling alley as well.

Pinup Can Be Sexy for Halloween

Dixie — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 14:12:17 +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.

How Can You Achieve A Retro Hairstyle Like Marilyn Monroe

Dixie — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 14:51:16 +0000

Retro Hair styles are back! If you have not noticed, a return is happening to the Retro hairstyle look of the past. Lets take Marilyn Monroe as an example. Marilyn Monroe, actually wore what is called a graduated bob hair style, that was anywhere between jaw level and shoulder length. The 2008 version has longer layers with fringe in the front and shorter layers in the back. Although Marilyn Monroe’s hair was roller set, it can be worn smooth, even straightened, or wavy and tousled. One of the reasons we are seeing a repeat of this hair style I believe, is that medium length hair styles can be quicker and easier to care for than long hair styles and more versatile than most short hair styles.

Marilyn Monroe and her hair stylist tried 9 different shades of blonde before settling on her famous platinum blonde. It is not recommended trying 9 different shades of any hair color. If you are curious about trying anything drastic, there are some online hair style programs (like Barb’s customized virtual hair style makeover) that allow you to try different hair colors and hair styles on your image. It’s much safer for your hair and a lot of fun too! Take a look at this page for more info.

Vintage Jewelry

Vintage Religious metals by Mary Jo Pane designs make wonderful modern, yet vintage, jewelry pieces.

Vintage Necklace

All the Miracle Icons medals used in these pieces are antique or vintage, mostly found in European flea markets, with the characteristic softened edges and patinas accumulated over many generations and lifetimes. As a result, every Vintage Religious piece is unique and can never be exactly duplicated.

Mary Jo Pane explains how her Miracle Icons resonate with an evolved world view, an openness to possibilities beyond intellectual understanding and with a sense of spirit that transcends specific religious beliefs.

I’d say these Vintage Religious necklaces would illuminate any pin up clothing outfit.

Gil Elvgren along with all of his other great qualities … had a terrific sense of humor … hence the title of this painting was called, ‘STILL LIFE’… notice the bowl of fruit in the foreground? Did you take a second look! This is a print made from the original painting. This print has never been published … you can’t get it anywhere else. Printed by a professional lab, the color is wonderfully correct. This is the only erotic Elvgren we have ever seen. It appears in Pin-up Land™ and will appear in Sadotopia™.

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.
