Become A 1940-1950's Pin Up Model Like Paulina
I love retro pin up looks and they are becoming more and more popular in advertising, pop culture and advertising while the high fashion industry are still favouring the tall gaunt models, more companies are looking for curvier bodies and a great sense of style in the models that they choose.

The 1940’s and 1950’s pin up look was very feminine and sexy, today pin up models often work in burlesque and lingerie modelling. Confidence is essential if you are thinking of becoming a pin up model.

Step 1
Research the internet and books for pinups, calendar girls and the styleof the 1940’s and 1950’s. Also have a look at today’s pin up models and burlesque girls such as Dita Von Teese and Bernie Dexter. Make sure that you know that you can comfortably wear the pin up style clothing as some of it can be quite restraining. While curves are a big part of the pin up look, you still need to be toned. There is a marketplace for larger pin up models, if they have a great sense of personal style.

Step 2
Make those essential finishing touches to perfect the look. The pin up girls of the 1940’s and 1950’s each had their own trademarks, so ensure you pick out your best features. Wear figure hugging pencil skirts and high heels if you have that typical hourglass shape to draw more attention to your waist line and team this up with some killer heels to really elongate your legs! And if you have a better bottom half, wear a corset that will really pull your waist in and still trim your hips to give that much sought after hourglass shape! I would recommend any of our Dita corsets that can pull your waist in up to four inches but still providing the coverage for your hips so you don’t get that unwanted overhang. Also keep in mind that part of the retro pin up look is the right undergarments. A waist clincher and bullet bra will really give you a true pinup look, check out our trixi underbust collection for a range of different looks!

Step 3
Find a photographer. To start work as a pin up model, it is a real must to have a good portfolio of photos. Search the web for an experienced pin up model photographer and maybe invest in a hair stylist and makeup artist for the best retro photos. if you are already based in a city with a good rockabilly or burlesque scene, this could be a good starting point to find a photographer.

Step 4
Promote yourself! As with all kind of modelling, it can be extremely competitive to get noticed therefore it is important to stand out from the crowd! If you have any other skills, consider the possibilities of burlesque or other stage performance to further your work as a pin up model. Set up your own social networking page, i.e Facebook, Myspace and Twitter to really get yourself out there!

Step 5
Consider hiring an agent. While not all modelling agencies work with pin up models, some do manage models with an alternative, retro, rockabilly or pin up look. But be really careful who you sign up with, read the contract and do not pay any money! A reputable agent will not charge you monay upfront.

A few extra tips from Paulina
"It is an absolute must that you invest in some red lipstick! Particularly for your portfolio! Red lips are a trademark for nearly every pin up girl! Don’t fret if you have a tattoo or two, most tattoos are typically quite accepted for modern pin ups. And make sure you can walk in your heels! There is nothing worse than a girl who can’t walk in their heels!"

That's all guys & dolls
Love,

Paulina's Tips On How To Dress Pin Up Model Style
The pin up look I love so much can be incorporated into all styles with any kind of body type and the current pin up model style is changing the standard of beauty. These women and artists present an image of glamour that is a mixture of the past and present style.

Instructions

Step 1 :
Choose a hairstyle from 1940’s that will complement your face shape. The 1940’s hairstyle is usually a combination of pin curls, side-reverse rolls or victory rolls. You can either try master the hairstyle yourself, find a wig or go to a stylist. Ebay is a great site to purchase wigs and at a reasonable price!

Step 2 :
Choose your makeup. Next time you are out shopping, visit your local makeup store and seek out the advice of a professional and their opinions on the right colours for your complexion.

The typical look of the 1940’s produced a natural look that focused on the eyebrows, eyelashes and lips. Your eyebrow colour should match your hair, the brows should be shaped with a long thick arch that tapers off into a point. Once styled, eyebrows are emphasised with an eyebrow pencil. The colour of the eyelashes depends upon your hair colour, dark hair should wear black while blonde or redheads wear brown. Natural looking fake eyelashes or extensions can be used to emphasise eyes. Eye shadow colours should be neutral with highlighting that deepens the eyelid. Cheek rouge should produce the effect of a slight blush. Lip colour should be as dark and deep as deep as your skin tone allows. The lips are lined in the same colour as the lipstick.

Step 3 :
Corsets are actually an exception rather than the rule in the classic pin up look and you are in the right place if you want to purchase one to add to your look! All of the waist reducing underbust and overbust corsets featured on this site are made using high quality steel bones to give that much sought after hour glass figure and are made using the finest and most unique cloth. When choosing a corset, I would probably recommend going for one that is a little more understated so that it doesn’t dominate the look.

Step 4 :
Dress in costume. Usually, the look was a naughty girl next door. Everything from a sailor suit to the wayward country girl can work. If you type in 'World War II Pin Up' it should offer a selection of ideas of the type of look that should be achieved.

Step 5 :
The hosiery and undergarments can either make or break the look; these are usually vintage thigh highs with classic girdles and full brassieres. We will be adding a selection of classic pin up wear to this site very soon!

Step 6 :
Pick your shoes! The open-toe platforms are the most recognisable 1940’s shoes. Baby Girl Boutique has a good selection that you can choose from! But remember that red is a sassy colour that can definitely achieve that look!

Step 7 :
For a more retro look, find tattoo alternatives, this would seal the classic pin up look and make it more contemporary. Real or alternative, a quick internet search will provide you with some ideas.

A few extra tips from Paulina: Patent your look and define your style! The pin up look goes back a hundred years and any one element can be incorporated into your look! Don’t be afraid to be fresh and daring!

Paulina's History Of Pin-Up
Guys & Dolls, I've done some research and have put together a brief history of the pin-up look, I hope you enjoy reading it. Paulina xxx

Pin-up modelling first emerged in the early 1900's- about the same time as our we started making their corsets! And since that moment it influenced the way society saw sexuality.

The name 'Pin Up' was first developed when people who saw images in magazines and newspapers would rip the pages out and pin them up. These images were rapidly becoming more and more popular and many businesses started to catch on, producing a possible profession for girls.

Around the 1910's and the 1950's, the 40's and 50's being the real peak for the pin up models and were consistently appearing in advertisements, magazine spreads, posters, photography and films and from then the standard of today's model emerged, urging the concept idea for Playboy Magazine.

Since they first emerged, Pin up girls have always had the same features. The typical pin up model has combed in pin curls, a bouffant or flowing curls, porcelain skin, bright red lips and bright eyes with minimal makeup for a more natural look and. She wears classic girdles, vintage thigh highs, corsets, bustiers, full brassieres and slips and to finish the look off she will top it off with platform heels. Pin Up models symbolise style and sophistication which is their main attraction, they have a sort of playfulness and innocence that men in particular are attracted to. They are photographed in bathing suits, corsets, lingerie or even completely nude but still covering their assets. They are pictured in acts of sunbathing, cooking, bondage, etc.

Online Boutique Take On Pin Up
Online boutique, takes on a fictional Facebook pin up to spread the word that is www.truecorset.com

New recruit, Paulina De La Passionfruit is one burlesque beauty who is hoping to take on the new social networking phenomenon by a storm- showcasing the brands collection of waist reducing underbust and overbust corsets with her to die for hourglass figure!

Once a peaches and cream blonde, Paulina is now a reformed sultry brunette that loves everything burlesque and hopes that her new found friends on Facebook will enjoy her 50's style pin up poses in the brands latest additions.

Paulina, believes that her enviable hour glass figure is down to the brands high quality steel bones underbust and overbust corsets which pull her waist in that extra few inches needed for those sought after curves.

New recruit Paulina de la Passionfruit said: "I am delighted True Corset have taken me on to showcase their corsets,

"A corset never goes out of style! It is the single most attractive piece of clothing a woman can buy! Once a garment that was used to oppress is now the ultimate expression of sexuality and freedom,

"True Corset make real corsets at a reasonable price, made with generous amounts of steel and cloth that is generously reinforced, this helps achieve the sexy and seductive hourglass figure and can help achieve a waist reduction of up to 4 inches, on their specialist made to measure corsets this can be increased to six inches! Which is how I maintain my 50's pin up pose for my friends on Facebook!"

"It doesn't matter what shape you are. Burlesque is about feeling positive about who you are and about knowing how to shake what you have and being proud of it! Hopefully by bringing back burlesque, it will bring back the kind of body that is round on top and round on bottom!"
