The Pinup Thread

[KittyT]

Hey - does anyone know where i can buy a pin-uppy style bikini?

You might want to look through the Powder Room. There's at least one big thread on swimsuits. I'll see if I have time to find it for you later, but for now, I must be getting ready for work.

EDIT: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=16596 this thread is on vintage swimsuits, but you'll find lots of recommendations for repros here.

I wasnt sure where to post this link but you gals must have a look. Its from the current issue of Antler Magazine which features these amazing slides of pin-up style 50s shots which a girl rescued from the trash. AMAZING! You'll find the images on page 32, enjoy

I've been dying to do a photoshoot, it's been too long since I've heard the sweet sound of clicking cameras. Last Friday I enjoyed delicious drinks and an impromtu photoshoot at my friend's house. My theme for the night was poison: I was wore petroleum and a black skull ring. I was trying to look serious, but the spririts went to my head. At least my laughter is evil.

Oh thank you, honey! You make me want to cry happy tears! What do you think of my shoes (close-ups are posted in the cute vintagey shoes-thread). Your taste means a great deal to me!

P.S. PrettyPaula, I love the black and white pic!

I got mine from oli.co.uk

It's not a bikini, but I'm sure they have some on there.

Or try the Frost French bikinis on the Debenhams website. Some of them are to die for!!

brilliant woman!

So helpful for someone to have found some in the UK so i can save my money on the P&P - i'm going to look right now!

And Miss Jay you are so so so beautiful!

You're so pale and raven and dita-ish!

On closer inspection, both brands seem to be very modern at the moment.

Maybe that will change nearer to the summer? I do hope it wasn't just a phase.

If you have a few more pennies to spare, try www.whatkatiedid.com. They have ache-inducingly cute sets on there!

Love these shoes, PrettyPaula! I've been on the look out for pink heels!

 

[PrettyPaula]

search on ebay for Primark shoes... they have these kind of shoes in alot!

and thankyou

 

[Deleted member 12480]

primark? really?? brilliant!

I live in Primark shoes, but I find the heels really uncomfortable.

I recently bought a pair for £10 in Sainsbury's and they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn!
