Hey Friends!

Last night I went to a "Pinup Peepshow" party- a magazine release party for a vintage pinup magazine..A talented photographer I know was hosting it and releasing the magazine which she compiled..

I got dressed up in a vintage theme- Old Hollywood hair, red lips, fake birthmark, lace dress, silk garter- the whole 9 yards- I figured what the heck! when the hell else will I get to dress like a past era pinup model?

Well, the party was a blast! And so many people kept coming up to me asking which page I was on so I could sign their mag's (which I wasnt in), a bunch of strangers kept asking to take pics with me..it was all very flattering!! And I felt completely comfortable around all those models- take that! LOL.

But more importantly I had kind of a body image *revelation* that night..Well there were several burlesque performers there giving "peep" shows..and let me tell you these girls were FULL figured. I'm talking voluptuous bum's, thighs, stomachs. They were in vintage lingerie, giving strip teases, complete with nipple tassels (every woman needs a pair! if anyone needs to know what to get me for xmas lol), they were beautiful but not what we would consider "perfect"-rolls hanging over their lingerie, sagging breast, but YET they were up there strutting it, without a care. It was pretty powerful..and they were sexy..it makes me see that even if i focus on my flaws its such a waste.. It would serve me better to OWN my body, who I am and really LOVE this me..no matter what size, shape, scar, stretch mark.

anyhow, just wanted to share!
here are some pics for your viewing enjoyment (a photowhorish moment..if I may!)
