~Pin-Up~

Shhhhhhhh…I’ve got a secret fetish…

Well, not so secret really…anyone who knows me knows how much I love Pin-Up art. I grew up loving black and white movies, jazz, old magazines and pin-up art. So, I get very excited when I come across a creator in SL who enjoys designing vintage and pin-up clothing and accessories.

Last summer I was searching for a mesh bikini and stumbled across an adorable one at this store, on the marketplace, called Etchaflesh. I liked the bikini so much, I wrote a review about it. Several days later, I received a special edition corset, as a thank you for the review…and I was officially hooked on Shaodie’s designs. She manages to fuse goth, pin-up and a bit of rockabilly into her own unique interpretations. One of the things I love about her work is that she doesn’t overlook the little details that make clothing standout; like the corset lacing on the back of this high-waisted pin-up skirt.. I like the dark edge to her designs, but then she also has some really gorgeous pink corsets; there is something for everyone.

I decided to pair the skirt with back-seam stockings and top from a 50’s Tintable set that I purchased from Reasonable Desires…a few years ago. The oh-so-fantastic pin-up Jean hair from .:EMO-tions:., and the Coqueta Doll (pink/black) platforms from KIKI Designs. Finishing touches…Severine Earrings from Zibska, Prim eyeliner from LpD and mesh hands from SLink.
