Iam a German 40s/50s/60s Pin up Girl, Retro Addict and Weirdo. I love make up, to craft, do photoshootings and collect vintage clothes/ lingerie. In my blog you can read all about it, mashed up with my thoughts about fashion/styling.
so as no photographer was to be found to snap outdoor photos I grabbed John, put my Canon into his hands and told him to make some. He has a good eye for asthetics. He´s also the only one that has permission to criticise the way I dress and style in my every day life (which does not mean, that I allways listen to what he has to say ;-).
"Take a photo of my shadow now!" The sun-umbrella sure added some special effect.
As my photo featuring a pair of my cool cat eye sunglasses proofed so popular here´s a photo of me wearing another pair of darling sunglasses! And a georgous umbrella that John gifted to me last year (I told ya he has good taste). Than we went to the harbor of Düsseldorf and the area around it and took some pics.
Guess who´s totally into photographing architecture?
A policeman stopped by when we took the swimsuit picture, but not because he wanted to complain or shoo us away.... He just wanted to watch a little :-D As did the group of people behind John. And everyone we passed by. Maybe they just liked the white sunglasses I´m holding in my hands.
Actually we had so much fun, that we consider another photosession tommorow...
"At the time of World War Two if you were hot just like like Betty Grable you'd be called an Able Grable." This is what Miss Matilda writes on her website www.ablegrable.com
In the past year she has worked hard on her brand and her range of beautifull dresses and I admired her work since the very start, so Iam very happy that I got the opportunity to model her new cutom piece "Ready Hedy", a beautifull house dress in black! (there will also be a yellow version displayed on her website worn by house-model Amanda aka Jitterbugdoll). Believe me when I say it is one of the most comfortable dresses to lounge around in!
The photos were taken by Hans DuEngel.
And off course you can check out the beauty of the dress in more detail in my latest video! You also get to see me not only as a hungry housewife, but also dressed up as a sailor (giving the worst accordeon-performance you ever saw - how come that lately all photographers own instruments???), as a singer, in a peacock outfit and sporting the underwear as outerwear look in a retroish catsuit version.
Hush, hush, go and order "Ready Hedy" now!!!!! :-)
Why is it so hard to find a cute Vintage-looking Bikini Repro in my size? It really sucks.
I don´t want a triangle bra - those thingies can´t keep up with my boobs
I don´t want to wear something low-waisted.
I don´t want a thong
Leave all this out and you just get vintage ones which I´d hate to wear and have them bleach out or fall apart.
The bikini of my dreams is high-waisted, has a slight bullet form, barely any stretch and is either sailor or hawaaian style. Nothng you can find in your bikini-store next door. And it shouldn´t be too expensive or from a store that only takes credit cards. I have the image of the perfect bikini in my head. If I could I´d start a own collection * lol*
Today I´ll drive back to John! I look soooo much forward to it. I´ll start to work again tommorow.
