Thanks for the question, Rey!
I really appreciate that you said that actually! I've been modeling for 12 years of my life, so I think doing NON-nude work adds some depth to my nude work, I hope anyway
Bettie Page is a great example of classic cheesecake pin-up and definitely a pioneer. Bettie is both an example of how far and how LITTLE we've come when it comes to how we judge nudity.
Pin-up is definitely a broader spectrum now, but I still love the classic style as well. I can share some of my pin-up work with you!
Here's some work I did with Dynamite Dames, makeup by Nicky Callahan.
This shot was published in issue #7 of my favorite pin-up magazine, Retro Lovely.
Some of my favorite modern pin-ups are Masuimi Max, Micheline Pitt, and Mosh. (Although some people may consider Mosh more fetish than pin-up, I think she's BRILLIANT.)
Also, if you're into Bettie Page and have only really seen her photos, I highly suggest you try looking for some of her old dances & video teases.
ADORABLE. She's definitely an inspiration of mine. Even my cam style when it comes to stripping is usually fairly burlesque, but sometimes I'm inspired by her to just be a little playful & silly.
I have a HUGE affinity for anything retro/ 50's. Seeing a woman or man all greaser style, is the sexiest thing EVER to me. I adore it.
It is honestly probably a huge part of what led me to being an adult model. Clothing, makeup, hair, lingerie, even the way women teased back then, it's all just AESTHETIC HEAVEN to me.
Nice thread Ari... especially nice to see you're a fan of the Big Lebowski... what a movie!

im pretty sure i posted this elsewhere before, but since youre a fan of the saints...
Excellent photos. I really like those. :clap: I've really come to like and appreciate erotic art (whether it's pin-up style, fetish or retro based). I think that what you're doing takes more thought and creativity than just the standard assembly line stuff that dominates the scene now.
I really like period costumes too. I don't know the proper term for the period (other than "Zoot suit"... or maybe the "greaser" style that you're talking about?), but have you ever done anything based on that period? I think it ran from the 1940's to the early '50's. I think the cars that Arkham Knyte mentioned would fall within that period. I agree with him: you really would look fantastic doing a shoot based ion costumes and cars from that period. You really do have a look that would mate perfectly with a guy in a Zoot suit, and you in a dress from the period, standing beside/around an old Mercury "lead sled". Done in various stages of undress, I think that would be a classic photo set. Agree? :dunno:
Another era that I've just recently come to appreciate is the early 20th century. My girl recently turned me on to "Downton Abbey" (weird since I usually don't like soap operas... even good ones). But considering how people tend to not get dressed up very often these days, I guess seeing people dressed elaborately is kind of fascinating to me. And the women's undergarments featured on that show are erotic, just because they are different. I'm not sure if you're familiar with this BBC/PBS show, but if you are, I could easily see you doing an erotic take on "Lady Sybil". In fact, you actually bear a strong resemblance to the girl who plays that character: Jessica Brown Findlay.
