Playing Pin Up

04/14/2013

So, today, I had some pin up photos done!  A local salon does these special photo shoots every once in a whlle where they do your hair and makeup with retro flair and take some vintage-y photos.  I’ve been wanting to do this for a while and am so glad that I finally got do it!

I decided to wear my 1940 red polka dot dress for the first half of my photos (the other part of the shoot was with my Mad Men dress which I will post later)

The make up was REALLY heavy though!  But I know that that’s how it was in the 40’s.  I’m not a red lipstick person nor do I wear false eyelashes.  It was good for photos, by I was happy to scrub it off when I go home!
