Im also not against the idea of nude and topless as long as they are classy because iv seen allot of because ones from the 1920s that inspire me, but i would like some feedback on this particular subject. here are some of those 1920s pictures that inspired me to consider doing that

i wouldn't want to do allot of pictures like that, but im not against having a few id like to know some your opinions on this through

I'm very new to pinup modeling so any advice and tips would be amazing!

best wishes to all,

The links you attached are great examples. I would say use old photos like that as inspiration. That is what I am doing with my new art series. But yes, keep it classy.

I can't believe it has been 8 years since the last post on this thread! I mean, I guess I can since it's been awhile since I have taken any pinup photos myself. I wanted to share this one that I thought some of you all would enjoy. You can see a few more at my blog Vintage Starlet. Nothing too risque... just a Sleepy Time Gal!

perfection! great photo! I love pinup art of the 30s and 40s and have an sizable collection of George Petty and Alberto Vargas pinups framed up on my walls in my vintage office. keep them coming! (I've been spending time reviving old dead threads myself... not sure what happened here.... I guess I'm late to the original vintage party )

Well, I'm so damn old here... I am part of the original vintage FL party! I'm just trying to get conversation going again like it did in the "good ol' days" of the Lounge. Ahahhaha

I wouldn't say this is exactly pinup, more (non-Hurrell style) classic Hollywood, but I can't think of a better place to post these... if there is a better thread let me know. You can see a couple more photos on my blog Vintage Starlet.

beautiful! indeed this is the perfect thread. These certainly fall into the pinup /glamour /vintage catagory. thanks for sharing these gorgeous pics!

I am so happy you enjoy them. I really hope other gals start posting some photos soon too. I have a couple more I want to post but I don't want to turn this into the Lolita Haze Vanity thread! Ahahaha

Time and again Loungers have told me not to worry when I have posted more than most in a thread. If you want an example just scroll down this link.

So don't get any hang ups, you are not only photogenic you also have a talent for posting well. You are not one to repeat yourself, rather you describe your posts in a way that makes it a good read for others. And who knows, you might just inspire some confidence in other ladies. Loungers are not noted for opprobrium so just go for it.

Thank you! It's funny you say that because afterwards I thought it kind of reminded me of this Rita Hayworth photo!

I really appreciate you visiting my blog!! Thank you!

Love this thread!

Being uncharacteristically honest: I’m a fan. We are all rational human beings who acknowledge that there is nothing wrong with being human. In fact, being a breathing person comes with (hopefully) much needed moments of validation, acceptance and belonging. Carry on, ladies. You are amazing! I respect you, gently admire you (very gently) and envy you. In the best possible sense. The added “vintage” touch is an absolute bonus.

that's weird. why did somebody delete my replies?

 

[Edward Reed]

okay maybe my replies were removed because I'm not allowed in these threads because I am in the FOR THE LADIES section? sorry about that. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to post a comment in here.

As far as I know men can comment in this forum. I have no idea why they would be deleted.

Sometimes we miss which specific forum we're dealing with, but yes, the Front Parlor section is open to both men and women.
