Oh My Gosh

I just found this stunning photograph of Sabina Kelley by Australian Photographer Jason Ierace. It was taken when she was out her for the Sydney Tattoo Convention. When I met her she said she had already spent all her money that she had made at the convention at Alannah Hill so she had to do a bunch of shoots for money to get her home. Now that's a girl who has my heart!

The photo is taken from here.

I love Harmony Nicholas's Work

Like many of the photographers and makeup artists that I adore the very talented Harmony Nicholas is from the city of Adelaide. This lucky lady has photographed some of my all time favourite models and has taken one of the best pictures I've seen of Pin Up queen Sabina Kelley. Keep and eye out for more of her work because it's only going to get bigger for her from here!

See more of her amazing work on her facebook here and website here.

Babes

I like this picture. I found it here. This lady hasn't taken many pin-up kind of photos but she should do more. Leggy Vesey (the one with pink hair) is a total babe. She was strutting her stuff for Beserk Clothing at the Dead of Winter Festival. Damn this ladies got legs!

Mail Day.

Lately my mailbox has been filling up with letters and postcards from lovely ladies from all over the world. It really makes me happy seeing something addressed to me to isn't an overdue bill.

The lovely Tillie sends me letters that always make my day, just take a look at the picture below. Aren't the just the cutest? Yesterday I got a package from her and she had made me an awesome cross stitch! I'm so happy with it i've placed it proudly on my bar in the lounge room!

Today I got my first piece of mail from Nicola, along with a letter there was a photograph that I absolutely adore!

Hello 1981!

Natalia Fabia

Natalia is just darling. I fell in love with her work after seeing her work in the August 09 issue of Juxtapose magazine. She is constantly popping up in photographs that I love. (see here and here)

Her oil paintings depict sassy young tattooed creatures in the greatest of detail. She surrounds herself with colourful personalities, artists, pin ups, burleque dancers and strong sexy women who are the subjects of her paintings. These small images don't do these works justice.

I love that she uses glitter in her pieces!

Her website is here but I can't get it to work on my computer.

Happy Birthday to the lovely miss Monroe.

Darla Teagarden

I've had a folder of images from this lovely lady on my computer for a long time now that I look to for inspiration from time to time. I'm a sucker for details so photography that uses props and hand painted backgrounds instead of photoshopping every detail in really moves me.

Miss Darla Teagarden creates her dreamy images with props and costumes she made by hand. Her resume will make most of us jealous... pin-up and fetish model, makeup artist, writer, cabaret dancer and vintage clothing buyer just to name a few.

So here's a bunch of her photos. I hope they inspire you the way they inspire me.

All pics were taken from here.

Her blog is worth a look too!

If you like these pics you will enjoy these also.

Pin Ups Ahoy

If you're into pin ups and live in Australia chances are you already know who Bexterity is. She's been doing gorgeous pin up makeovers and photo shoots for the past three years. She works her magic from her own home near Sydney and she provides everything you need for a perky lil cheesecake makeover!

Here are some of her photographs two feature newcastle roller derby babes.

666 Photography

So many times i've thought of shoots that would be amazing but was limited by money and my lack of talent to make elaborate sets, props and costumes. But the team at 666 Photography has answers to all you're photo shoot dilemmas. Gayla takes all the photos and makes all of her props by hand, paints every backdrop and creates most of the costumes. Lisa Naeyaert is the lady behind all the fantastic makeup used in all the shoots as well. Too bad they are based in Austin otherwise I'd be begging them to work with me.

I love everything produced by 666. I mean what's not to love about theatre like pin up shoots of sailors, carni folk, ballerinas, religious and day of the dead babes?
