    Fleur de Guerre at Diary of a Vintage Girl has a good Victory Roll how-to video - check out her blog and the accompanying videos. Victory Rolls aren't too bad if you practice a bit. Another blogger to check out is Jeni Yesterday, who also has a couple of how-to videos.

    I so want to get into this style, but I just don't have the time for the upkeep!

    I'd love to have a pinup photoshoot, though. <3

    hey doll! thanks for posting all those fabulous pics of you with sweet pinup/rockabilly hair! it's soooo much time/maintenance that i certainly couldn't do it every day but maybe once a week ;) yep--the corset has cupcakes! OMG it was so tight. i definitely had a waist when it was all said and done. my mom took this pic; the real ones are amazing. STAY TUNED!

    I love the style, but it's the clothes and not the whole look that I'm into, partially because the dresses are perfect for someone my shape. I have short hair, so the typical hairstyles don't work for me. I have just about every vintage/retro Vogue, Butterick, and McCalls sewing pattern out there. Just need more time to sew (and for everything else in my life).

    If you can find one of these, it makes it about 5 billion times easier to do Victory Rolls. I have 2 sizes and they look vaguely like these...

    I love this style so much. Women back then knew how to work their curves. I found a couple of great dresses on Mod Cloth. So cute.

    My fave style, but being from a small country town and a farmers wife I don't get to wear it as much as I'd like. My profile pic is of me on my 30th b'day, all decked out in some 50s glamour. I'm hoping to drop enough weight by January so I can rock a gorgeous vintage/retro style dress for my friend's wedding.

    Vintage rolls and winged eyeliner are both something I need to practice! For Christmas and birthday combined I've asked for a pinup photo shoot. You look absolutely stunning BTW!

    I loooooove that style for women! I can't really do the hairstyles but i love wearing red lipstick and dresses/skirts that show my curves. My bf goes bananas when I wear my retro nylons that have the black line up the back. I like that style for my apartment too, i have a stove and dining table set from the 40's and they are my favorite!
