A Retro Lovely pinup cover in Bettie Page Lingerie!

Thanks to Retro Lovely, I’m on the cover of Vol. 244 of the flagship! The photography, set, makeup, and hair are the work of the always-fabulous Marilee Caruso, while the wardrobe was provided by Bettie Page Lingerie!

The Bettie Page set is the Cleo Contrast Stitch Retro set, in stunning pink and light turquoise! Marilee reconstructed her pink and teal boudoir set for the occasion, creating an all-new seamless background with pretty gold stars. We love how it turned out!

The Cleo set is sized up to about 20 US. I usually wear size 18 US in Bettie Page Lingerie bottoms, but this panty and girdle are size 20 US and fit very big on me (we clipped them for the photos). The 40F bra they sent was just perfect (it’s my usual size for most brands, including Bettie Page).

New Halloween pinup by Bombshell PinUp Photography in Bombshell Magazine!

I was very happy to discover that my Black Widow-themed images by Liz of Bombshell PinUp Photography are not only in the Halloween issue of Bombshell Magazine, but on a cover, too!

I wanted a retro-spiderweb theme, kind of like the set on the old Vampira show, and Liz totally delivered. She made the bib necklace and the belt, and supplied the dress, hairflowers, earrings, and some of the rings, too. Makeup was by the fabulous-as-always Beauty By Samantha White and hair was by the superb NM Beautybar.

Love Witch set with Lavinia Laced in Pinup Nouveau’s Halloween Volume 1

My friend Lavinia Laced and I co-produced a Love Witch-themed shoot with Marilee Caruso, and the results are in Pinup Nouveau magazine’s Halloween issue, Volume 1!  We even got a cover!

Both of us are big fans of Anna Biller’s 2016 horror-comedy film, The Love Witch, so naturally we wanted to portray our own versions of the titular “love witch” from the movie – Elaine. We collected our spell-casting props and planned wardrobe while Marilee put together a great set reminiscent of Elaine’s apartment in the film.

Marilee’s amazing late-1960’s-inspired makeup and hair work incorporated both of Elaine’s eyeshadow looks – vintage turquoise blue for Lavinia and purple for me! In all, I think the three of us captured the bright, saturated technicolor look of the movie, which is visually reminiscent of the colorful Hammer Horror films of the 1950s and 1960s.

Laura Palmer Twin Peaks cosplay images in Retro Lovely Masquerade

Marilee Caruso and I shot some fun Black Lodge-themed cosplay images earlier this year, featuring me as Laura Palmer from David Lynch’s and Mark Frost’s quirky Twin Peaks TV show. We went for a slightly 1930s-1940s Laura as the show is known for its frequent retro visual callbacks, and – as I was 48 at the time the photos were shot – an older Laura, which is more in line with the third season of the show. The final season aired in 2017, featuring versions of all the characters aged 25 years from their original appearance during the early-90s run of the show.
