 Being an artist, I
know how hard it is getting your name
out there. There’s always the dream of
making your art, your primary income. So
I think it’s important we stand by each
other. For your viewing pleasure, this
is a retro greeting card created by
Gabriela
Arriaza, a card maker/ addicted
stamper. She creates with a tint of
retro and I love it. This new piece,
Bombshell Beauty, is my favorite, I think
it fantastically captures the naivete of
the atomic age.

 Vintage Naughty
Novels. We buy them for the cover and...
well that’s pretty much it. Naughty Novels
is a small site dedicated to this bizzar
genre of... eh... literature. With it’s
simple picture+quote structure, the site
captures what you really want, when you
buy a vintage naughty novel: The picture
and a bit of that silly, 1950’s raunch:
They called her a "tramp" - but there
wasn't a man in the small fishing village
whom luscious Brenda Seton couldn't hook -
if she wanted that kind of love. But
passion for a profit was the goal of the
gorgeous temptress. When ready cash was
flashed, Brenda was ready, willing - and
able - to please, until she found that love
can be priceless!

 One of the benefits
of having friends online, is that they
send you tons of stuff you’d probably
like. This vintage photography
collection, whimsically called My
Grandfather's Girls, is beautifully
wrapped in flash design and was actually
sent to me by a
few friends. So
I figured it was high time I shared it
with you, my beloved readers. Hope you
enjoy this historic little online
treasure.

Edward
Reed is a digital pinup artist (worked
with water color and airbrush until 2005).
He’s very influenced by the masters, as
you can see, by this George Petty styled
pinup and adds his modern twist to them.
Two styles dominate his work; the classic,
idealized pinup and the photorealistic neo
pinup.

 This vintage ad was sent
to me by a friend. I thought it to be
pretty remarkable, a facsinating piece
of history. Not only, do we have proof
that modems were already being sold to
the public in the 1970’s, but we can see
the early mastery of selling with sex.
And while we’re on the subject, isn’t
this 70’s pinup fantastic?
My friend, sadly, doesn’t remember the source
of the image, so if anybody knows somthing,
shoot me an email ar comment.

 There are many
retro/pinup/vintage blogs out there, but
only a select few make me feel all fuzzy
inside and bubbly with excitement.
Miss-Vintage is
one of these top sites! So the first
thing I did was add it to my blogroll
(on the sidebar under “Expand Your Pinup
World” ). And now I’m telling all my
beloved readers about it. Miss-Vintage
is a wonderfully designed and
professionally executed vintage fashion
site. There’s tons to explore, like
interviews
with original glamor girls, a
comprehensive vintage fashion
timeline, an incredibly thorough
Encyclopedia
of Vintage fashion Icons and so much
more you could explode! Go there,
bookmark it, and go back often!

 I know a lot of you
glamour girls (and some of you glamour

but just aren’t sure how to do it. I’ve

Amanda’s 5 minute tutorial, now get the
low-down on some more advanced tutorials,
with all the tools and trimmings, at Pomps &
Pin Curls. I caution, this is for the
patient and brave!
