    A friend of mine has a vintage shop on etsy called SucreSucre AND she had liberty rolls as her wedding hairstyle. You should check it out - she once sold a hat to CBS for their "las vegas" show (takes place in 70s i think?)

    I am trying to build my confidence to get into this style more! I feel like when more of my inches disappear I could do it!

    I just ordered a vintage/retro looking bathing suit in red and white polka dots! Can't wait!

    Gorgeous pic, sexy lady :wink: :love:

    I love the pin-up look, and the styles are so flattering.

    I'm awful at styling hair, I can't even do the Old Hollywood style curls! Maybe there are some youtube videos on how to do Victory rolls?

    Lots of hair spray! And teasing. For the rolls I mean.
    I usually do my hair that way when I go out.

    I used to own a lot of vintage style clothes when I was heavier. Love it so much; it's all so beautiful!
    I'd love to do pin up modeling! A friend of mine even does shhots for fun. Sadly the weight loss left me a big saggy.

    getting smoothed out enough to look decent in pics is a goal of mine.

    Love these retro swimsuits...
    I have one of these suits in a cherry print and I looooove it! Also, my profile picture is from yesterday- Bettie Page's birthday. That's not my hair though... What, with having a mohawk and all, you know.

    ETA: Pictures were self taken with a $6 Walmart wig, a rushed make up job, and a cell phone camera... Forgive the less-than-stellar photo quality.

    Love this look. Found this lady when I was getting some reference for some pin up art I was doing.

    I love this look, and if I had more patience I would look like this... but I'm too damn lazy and I'm either in my uniform (Air Force) or in gym clothes... hahaha

    I love it too! I am taking burlesque dance lessons and next week we are doing pinup hair & makeup :)

    As far as I know, Victory Rolls require 3 things:
    1) Slightly dirty hair
    2) LOTS of hairspray
    3) PRACTICE

    I have a wedding to attend later this summer and have found a great wiggle dress to wear. I love the look but I like to pair it with modern hair/makeup. Otherwise I just feel like I look too cartoony. As far as a photo shoot, I think it's one of the best ideas and you look sex-ay!

    Oh lord, I can't tell you the amount of time I used to spend on my hair when I frequented Rockabilly bars.
