Back in the PUG day, starting around 2006,  Masuimi & I would do photo shoots for Pinup Girl. Masuimi has been modeling for the website since 2004, but until 2006 my homie Octavio (NSFW) did most of the shoots for the site, including this famous photo of Masuimi in the original Greta Dress:…

Good Evening Darlings;

It's Canada Day weekend, and I thought that while I watched the too-early fireworks from my balcony window would be the perfect time to try to string together all my thoughts over the PUG Changed My Life contest and results...

I'm going to start by addressing what I am sure most people are wondering; of course I was disappointed when I didn't win the trip. So were all the other hundreds of entrants. My joy that Allie, someone who had felt like she was…

A Touch of Mid-Century Amazing

Here's another carry-over post from the blog I co-write, Junebugs and Georgia Peaches.  Since these are items PUG carries, I thought it would be a great place to share.

Hi. I am brand new to the pug community ... Although I've been wearing the clothes for some time know. I want to go to the yard sale this weekend, but can anyone tell me what to expect and what the realistic time is that someone should start getting in line for the day of.

I love Pinup culture, and pinup style.  On the daily you can find me me with thick black winged eyeliner, red lips, and extremely teased hair.  I dress in a collection of vintage dresses, and PUG dresses of course,  most of the time.  So when an event comes up that allows me to go all out, and show off my pinup style 100% and have it be appreciated, I jump at it.   Some events that have been popping up are "pinup contests."    I have only participated in 2, as I am not sure how I feel about…

I'm not sure if I was wearing PUG at the time, but if not it would have been a similar style.

I was at a party and a guy groped my boob, I slapped his hand away and he said "you love it, don't complain"

When some friend's were discussing it, some guy said (referring to me) "Yeah, it's because of the way she dresses."

It is so sad one day thinking Australia is an amazing model country for so many others and then realising we haven't come as far as we think (especially…

Since my teens, I've pretty much been dancing to the beat of my own drummer; in fact, I can genuinely remember the one and only time in my teens I liked a fashion trend, rather than just wearing what I liked (Leanna and others from the UK may remember the slouchy boots that were generally worn with mini skirts - that was the first time in a long time I'd worn a skirt).

Anyway, the point I'm attempting to get at (badly, of course ;) ) is that - at least as far as clothes are concerned…

Hey guys! It's me Tahita again and I just wanted to direct you to my latest blog post over at Great Lake Pinup where although the focus on the blog is the Pin Up Bikini (it's very popular this year), I want you ALL to know that one of the greatest pairings that any pinup girl will ever have with any vintage bathing suit and swimwear is the Wonder Wrap Top from right here at…

These two videos have pretty important messages and I think it's important we all hear them.
