I recently had the extreme pleasure of doing some photo shoots with Grinkie Girls' pinup photographer Christi Williams, in town all the way from the US.
We did three fun shoots in three consecutive days, and, truth be told, I now feel like I’m in some kind of pinup withdrawal.
The whole vibe of the thing is completely my scene – the pretty frocks, the cat eyes and red lips, the curled hair. The femininity that makes it even more shocking when you do something naughty. It’s all me to a T.
I was quite bleak when Christi and her awesome companion Amy had to return home to the states – I would import them here if I could.
But I do have a little flame in me to start growing the pinup scene in Cape Town – give me a shout if you’re onboard.
In the meanwhile, I’m excited to share the photographs that Christi took of me. I’m starting with the last first – a fantastically fun evening we spent at a vintage car graveyard.
I got to wear a gorgeous top from the Cape Town pinup clothing queen, Miss Happ (I got to do a shoot with her a few days before – coming to the blog soon!)
I didn’t have a skirt to go with the outfit, so guess what? I made my own! It only takes a couple hours using Annika Victoria’s helpful YouTube Video.
(Just a note, if you do make it, to make the waist on the small side as I think the measurements are a little off).
Also, how perfectly does Penelope Frog‘s necklace go with the whole get-up? It’s like it was made for me!
Here are the pics. Let me know what you think.
