4) Speaking of Pin Ups for Pitbulls, we will be working with the lovely gals from this fantastic organization this Friday at the Saint Pittie's Day event held at the Record Bar! Bands featured are The Green Goddammits, The Death Valley Wolf Riders and The Rumblejetts! We will also be there doing Pin Up Photos! Get your photo taken with Little Darling, Audiogirl and Katie O! Pinups for Pitbulls is a fantastic organization that works to educate the public about the history and temperament of the American Pit Bull Terrier and Bully Breeds, to raise awareness about Breed Specific Legislation and Breed-Specific abuse, and to raise funds for bully-breed-friendly rescues and dogs in need. They truly are fantastic gals and they are fighting for animals that cant fight for themselves! Want to come to this event? Want to learn more about Pinups for Pitbulls?

6) Last but not least, we had our very first pin up class, cleverly titled Secrets of a Modern Pin-Up! We had some amazing gals involved who presented for us and modeled, our favorites Louise LeMans and Chesty Evans. Candy, our in house make up artist did a fantastic presentation on classic pin up make up with a live demonstration. I did a tutorial on hair, pin curls and victory rolls. Also, we did a brief history of pin up past and present and the lovely Chesty Evans did a section on how to dress vintage, were to buy clothing and lots of other fun goodies. The gals we had involved did such a great job and it was so fun! We are for sure having more classes! Check out our website often for updates on the upcoming classes!!!
I know there's more but this is the bulk of our big news and what comes to my mind. So many great things coming up for us this summer. We will be working with some amazingly talented folks and I cant wait to show you what we can do!!!
Ciao darlings!
