Betty Grable what a beaut!!!!!

Pin-up Girl Betty Grable the star of the World War 11 glamorous world of Hollywood. ‘The 1940’s pin-up appears classic, mainstream, patriotic, innocent and morally clear, the pinup in the classic sense always relates back to the 1940’s’[2]. The World War II had a huge effect on pin-up culture. During the war period men had very little if any contact with women for long periods of time. GI’s pinned sexy pictures of pin-up girls on the walls of their barracks, in footlockers, and in plane cockpits.

The primary beauty focus of the 1940s was the bust and the leg. Betty Grable featured in a one piece bathing suit exhibiting her famously insured million dollar legs is the most iconic image of the period.


Hollywood movie staring Grable

Grable illustrations showing off what she's known best for her fabulous pins

December 1939 the stunning pin-up was on the cover of popular magazine LIFE.
   The ideal image of a women at a selected time and period has ranged from the innocent Mary Pickford of silent movies, to Betty Grable the pin up girl of the world war 2, to the glamorous sex symbol of the 1950s Marilyn Monroe, to the exhibitionist Madonna of the 80’s known for her extreme actions and fashion style, to playboys very own glamour girl Pamela Anderson, to the early years of the 21^st century Jenifer Aniston with the girl next door image, followed my Cheryl Cole a women the paparazzi and magazines report her every move good and bad. Here at poor little fashion victim we are obsessed with the classic war period pin up. The ears screams glamour from its boob shells, so glam up please ladies if the women of the war could do it with their make do and mend screams we most certainly can. xXx 

Prague Trip

I went to visit my best friend in Prague last weekend was sooooooo beautiful and extremely cheap if your looking for a romantic weekend with the other half or even a girly adventure I would defiantly recommend, it's a spacial unique country with lots of culture and architecher to die for.

Look what I found on my travels...................

This fabulous vintage shop tucked away in a cobbled street.

Love the wacky lay out its fun and exciting

this literally reminds me of my nan and grandads attic

love ittttttttt.

I particularly liked this elegant black lace dress.

How cool is this shop

I was in my element I didn't know where to look first

I have to admit I was in there for about an hour I'm surprised I didn't get removed

I just couldn't stop touching everything and looking to see how the clothes wear made.

There is just something about vintage clothing that really excites me especially clothing from the world war 2 ear. If only clothes could talk I bet they could tell some stories.......................

Me and my lovely boyfriend on a horse and carriage ride around Prague's attractions how romantic he he

check out the architecher in the background OUT OF THIS WORLD.

Now you may find this a lil strange but until this trip I had never ordered stake in a restaurant

judging from this image you could probably tell this as I'm getting stuff right in

was super yummy and yes I will be ordering it again and again and again hahaha I have years of catching up to do after neglecting beef for so many years.

Glowing cathedral soooo pwetty

How ironic a pin-up girl on the front of a Prague tshirt

PIN-UPS are everywhere......

Me and my bezzi walking the fabulous cold cobbled streets of Prague

This was the weirdest illusion created from our angle to this airplane in looks as if it's a rocket taking off to the moon.

ooooo the beauty of Prague it' simply a stunning part of the world with so much to see and do they even have a sex museum that i visited but unfortunately I wasn't allowed to take my camera in so your going have to go see it for yourself now if that's not an excuse to visit then i don't know what is hehehe.

That's it for now with love to you all

poor little fashion victim.

WOW what a view

taking inspiration from the 1940's and 'pin up girls'

Model in her own clothes

before the make over ekkkkk.

Model after makeup

love the retro red lipstick and liquid eyeliner flicked out

but i have to say the false mole finishes the look.

Half way through the hair

Huge 1940'S inspired quiff completes the look

Tight bouncy curls creating glamour.

As you can see from this image the curls really shorten the hair

dramatically.

Makeover complete

The model looks like a completely different person

good work poor little fashion victim

you have created a 21 century 'pin up girl'.

There is something really elegant about this image

even tho she has a see through top on and holes in her tights.

Totally in love with these tights by Henry and Holland

I ripped wholes in the tops to create a unique style.

The accessories really complete this image they all complement

one another. the lace gloves were hand made by myself Sadie Wilson

if anyone would like a pair email me, I can make them in all colours and sizes.

Love this all in one body suit this has kicked off inspiration

into designing a developed all in one body suit for my final year collection

exciting!!!!!!!!

Totally in love with this image its so funky and fresh

I love the contrast between the thick fur and tiny hot pants

it's really playful and quirky.

the model owns this image, forget the mansion behind me

'LOOK AT ME'

What a statement.

What a 'pin up pose' classic kicking the leg out.

Rocking the Raysssssssss!!!!!!!!!!

Really sweet frilly bottom reminds me a little of a bustle

enthersizes the womanly curves and has gace me loads of inspiration.

We salute you here at poor little fashion victim

for looking so fabulous.

I would definitely have you 'pinned on my wall'

With legs like these what women wouldn't want to show them off

and I think we all know the men would agree.

Really sweet boyfriend style shirt with frilly knickers and nude coloured socks

It works for me ladies.

The model looks like a porcelain doll so elegant yet super sexy.

So angelic and 'lady like'.

This image was inspired by Marilyn Monroe the iconic image

of her dress blowing up.

This image was inspired by the famous tennis poster where the girl

has no knickers on and is pulling up her dress revealing her bottom.

Fun and playful.

Beautiful sailor inspired image capturing a real sense of glamour.

sooooo sweet showing off her hourglass figure.

Raunchy

Loving the over the knee boots they finish the look off perfectly

and that jacket is to die for its just screams glamour.

'PIN ME UP'

Now if this isn't a pin up poster then I don't know what is

sooooo seductive.

This shoot was all about the 'Pin up' look and how we can Make the image look classy and elegant yet playful and sexy. I believe that women should dress like woman and show off their curves so come on girl bring back the old pin up glamour.

That's all for now

with love always

poor little fashion victim.

xXx

PS poor little fashion victim would like to thank Model Lauren Gill for taking part in this fabulous photo shoot

Absolutely love this iconic image of marilyn monroe. I think it would be fun to design a dress that looks as if it was being blown up by the wind. Playing with structure and manipulating fabric to achieve this dramatic heroic silhouette.

just an idea  from poor little fashion victim.

Halloween Dead Dolly's

Me and my evil surgeon, loving the gashed open head kevy haha. I have to say getting the hair this big was extremely painful and hell to get out well worth it tho looked super scary.

Dead baby dolls and teddy bears fab accessories and great fun to burn even if that does sound a little psychotic. 

we went all out here at poor little fashion victim

:) xXx :)
