Thatpinup - Find Your Inner Pin-up Girl

We often watch old movies to escape from reality, to return to a time where things seemed much simpler and pure. Old Hollywood created the illusion or fairytale of perfect “pure” actresses that always stayed below a size four and that never even slept in the same bed as a man. Even when couples were married, they often slept in separate beds on screen. (Although they often kissed on screen, you would hardly see anything going on besides that until the 1960s.)
But when the cameras shut off, they were often anything but. 
Here is a snippet from a book called: “Hollywood Babylon Strikes Again” detailing Bettie Page’s alleged hook-up with Katherine Hepburn:
It was during her stay in Hollywood that Bettie received a mysterious call from a woman who claimed she worked for a photographer who wanted to hire Bettie to pose in lingerie at an address in Hollywood.
“I was far too trusting in those days, even though I've been sexually assaulted, I was offered a thousand dollars a night for the gig…

Traveling can be a very stressful thing to go through; especially as pin-up girl. So many things to pack but so little room to put everything. On top of that, trying to find something to wear on the plane ride that’s comfortable but also stylish as well can be overwhelming - I asked travel blogger and graphic designer Kitcharat Nartetamrongsutt (Ratt for short) how she maintains her look while traveling and the advice she has for maintaining your look while traveling.
Can you tell me a little bit about yourself? How did you to get into vintage fashion and lifestyle?

However, with the encouragement from many other pinups and ‘50s vintage influencers on Instagram, I started to practice how to do vintage hairstyles rather than follow modern hair trends.”


How is it like to be a pinup girl in Thailand…

Self-confidence is something a lot of women struggle with. We often feel immense pressure to follow trends and conform to what society says we should be or look like, instead of embracing who we truly are. 
That’s one of the main reasons I find women are reluctant to wear vintage fashion, they’re afraid of judgment.
I spoke to vintage fashion enthusiast and YouTuber that goes by the name of MissBeeTown and asked for her advice on dealing with such judgment, and her tips on dressing in vintage fashion.

In a recent article of mine, I interviewedKasumi Yoshino - The owner of a popular vintage-inspired clothing store located in Tokyo Japan, where she mentioned the judgment she faced in her native country because of the way she dressed. I decided to speak to Alice, a makeup artist and alternative model from Taiwan who frequently models for Kasumi's shop about her experiences as a pin-up girl and the advice she had for dealing with such judgment.
Q: When, how, and why did you start dressing in pinup fashion?  A: “I remember seeing pin-up girls on old war posters when I was little. The classic vibrant colors drew me in immediately -  as did their bouncy hair and bold outfits. As much as I loved it, I never thought I could actually dress that way or pull off that look. That all changed when I met my husband, Larry. He encouraged me to pursue my interest in it and soon enough, I was totally sold on pin-up! There was no looking back!” Q: How did you first develop your style? A: “I've lo…
