Plus-Size Pin-Up Models: It`s hot!

Hello my Dears!

Now I wanted to share with you some photos of different plus-size pin-up models that I`ve found recently. Making this post I want to show that the beauty can be different, and even such plus-size models can look sexier than any "ordinary" model. I think that plus-size models are very brave and I respect them for the fact that they ignore the typical fashion standards. They prove that any woman can look gorgeous just being sure that she is gorgeous. Just look at them:

Beauty Standards: What I Think About it

Hello, my Dear Friends!

It`s been a while since I`ve posted something here. But I think it`s a high time now to come back and discuss a lot of new things with you.

As you may guess, my blog is dedicated to my favourite pin-up style, but not only. I began to study all the percularities of this style trying to understand and discover another issue that worries me: the ideal of beauty. For a long time the beauty standard for me was pin-up style. And even now I admire all the pin-up models and clothes, make-up and so on. But the thing that catches me the most in this style is its feminine nature. I think that you agree with  me that nowadays, when you can hardly tell a boy from a girl, its a very important feature.But what is "femininity", what is "beauty"? Is it express in style or a make up?

I haven`t got answers on these questions. Because, from the one hand, a particular style can define some particular features, like red lips are assotiated with sexuality, blue eyes with innocence, blond hair with femininity. But is that all? I mean, that if you dress one girl in the sexies dress you find, bleach her hair, do the best make-up ever, she will look just awful; But, at the same time, you can dress a girl in a...sack, I don`t know, and she will look gorgeous! Where is that borderline that defines what is beautiful and what is not?

Have you got an answer? Write everything you think in the comments below. I really want to see what you think about it, and whether you defined what is beauty for you.

Have a nice day!

Tattoos with pin-up girls: Oh my God, it`s hot!

Hello everyone! At last I`m here and ready to show you some more things about pin-up! Today I want to show you some tattoos with pin-up girls and tell something about them! Let`s begin!

1) Classical pin-up girls:
With the revival of the popularity and preference of the pinup girl as a tattoo design, many of the old designs are making a comeback in a big way. Many people seem to have a liking for the look of women in retro looking clothes and have gone for these tattoo designs.

Of course when it comes to detailed tattoos you have to consider the cost factor. There is no doubt that a classy looking pinup girl tattoo is going to cost you quite a bit. If your budget is tight then you can go in for a variety and go for that. This is a more cost effective alternative. But if you want your tattoo to stand out in terms of the look, detail work and colors then you have to be prepared for the cost and time to be spent on it.

2) Modern pin-up girls:
Now you can also find tattoos with pin-up girls that are a little bit modified: they are tend to be less detailed (like a cartoon character) or combined:

The most popular areas for such tattoos are: arms and legs, stomach. 

As you can see tattooing the pin-up girls is a trend now, and it`s not a big surprise: it`s cool, beautiful and attractive.

Hope you liked this post! Have a nice evening!

I think that I`m fat: remember a real pin-up girl!

Hello everyone! Today I want to talk with you about the worst fear of almost every girl: about the thought that you are fat. That is a disaster of our generation and I think that there are several causes of it, so, let`s tlk about it.

1) Glamorous magazines dictate beauty standards
Yes, that is true. We reag a lot of magazines and see here a lot of beautiful young women that are almost the same in their appearrance and it means that the type of very thin ang high woman is the standard now. But it`s bad, because any girl is unique, and not all of us are high enough, or our bone structure is different.

2) Being extremely thin is against our nature
I shoul told you one secret: any woman, by her nature, was created for giving birth to children. That is why our body is programmed to keep fat for keeping enegry. That is why to be extremely thin is against our nature. Very thin girls even can`t get pregnant because of the lack of fat.

3) Marilyn Monroe wasn`t thin at all!

the sex-symbol uf the 20 century wasn`t thin at all! But she was incredibly beautiful and she looked like a woman! Because sometimes when I look on modern models, I think that they are not real women, they are just skin and bones. And that is ugly.

4) We don`t want to love our appearance because we are scared that nobody will love us the way we are created

That is true. Just think, why do we wand to be thin, to be like a real model? Because we think that being a model will help us to be loved. That is why we are trying to be as beautiful for other people as possible. But didn`t you think that before everyone will recognize your beauty, you shoul recognize it inside you by yourself? If you would accept your appearance, everyone around you would see it too!

5) We are hooked on our drawbacks
Yes, we always think bad about ourself and notice only drawbacks. But it`s wrong! Every girl has something beautiful in her appearance! Let me tell you one personal example. Frankly speaking, I don`t like my appearance as well as many other girls. But the most annoying thing that`s making me crazy is my nose. I have really big crooked nose because I have broken it twice during my childhood. I really shy because of that, and I really hate it. But I always try to calm myself down, saying that despite my nose is crooked, I have quite pretty eyes. And it helps me to think that I`m not extremely ugly.  That is why just try to find something attractive in your appearance! 

6) A lot of girls who think that they are far are not fat at all!
That is true. Some girls continue to torture themselves with diets and exercises thinking that they are fat, but they don`t! And that happens because of the lack of self-assuarance. Just try to be in a normal condition, not too thin and not too fat (just because it creates a lot of health issues)

7) And just remember- a real pin-up gir wasn`t thin at all! She  was a real women! ;)

Have a nice day!

Retro tattoos: Old-school style

 Hello everyone! Today I want to talk with you about retro tattoo slyle. It is very interesting to see how this retro old-school style was created and  what were the main features of retro tattoos. So, let`s begin!

"Traditional", or "Old-school" style is a traditionally american tattoo-style. It was created in the post-war period and was extremely popular. The main thing was to have such tattoo, and its creativity wasn`t a big deal. That is why some motives and elements are quite simmilar.

The main feature of this style was the usage of very thick black outlines and red, green colours. A little bit of blue, yellow and lilac colours were also used. 

The second thing to mention is that such tattoos were more like an illustration (they tended to be like a cartoon picture) with no shadows or volume. Why? It helped make the process of creating of the tattoo much quicker, just because sailors hadn`t got enough time to stay in one place.

The founder of this style was Sailor Jerry (Norman Collins was his name) who opened his tattoo-shop and began to spread this style around the country.

So, the founder was a sailor, and there was even a tradition for sailors to make a new tattoo in every new place they visited. 

Sailor Jerry became a real symbol of that period of history, he has made thousands of tattoos. The main feature of his style was the combination of bright polychromic colours like in japanese tattoo-tradition(he was influenced by it) and quite rough line style.

The most popular images were, of course, mermaids, sharps, roses, anchors, swallows, daggers. But the main elements of the tattoo were roses, hearts with ribbons and rolls. 

Pin-up tattoos were also popular, with the images og different girls, cherries, Harley Davidson`s  bikes etc.
