When I was a girl, I saved my allowance and bought my first pinup book called, Vargas by Tom Robotham. I was hooked and always wanted to look like the girls in these Alberto Vargas illustrations…but in the chocolate colored version of course 😉 I have been modeling for 15 years, but I have yet to do jobs that use me specifically for this look. I have recently decided to fully engulf myself in cultivating my image as a pinup girl, regardless of the lack of ethnic pinup images available. Whether or not it takes clients to finally catch on to being creative and using ethnic pinups, I will still have fun dressing with the 1940s flair, and enjoy seeing the positive reactions from many individuals I encounter. Who knows if I will become the next icon like Bettie Page and Dita Von Teese 😉
