Night five was to be the big blowout! It did not exactly work out that way. But it turned out very well indeed. So I had attempted to organize a Meet Up on Saturday July 13th. We were to meet at the Boutique. Then there would be shopping and hanging out for an hour or two. Next it was to be off to a restaurant for dinner. And then finally there would be attendance at a burlesque performance. That was the plan.

Chacha Billy and I were carpooling from the Eastside of LA. We left at…

Hello my lovelies.

I hope the sun woke you this morning and you smiled!

What's that? You didn't? Well smile now DAMN IT. You're beautiful and fabulous and that smile will take anyone's breath away if you choose to show it.



I wanted to share with you a little look book I made featuring casual vintage inspired dresses and featuring one of my personal favourites, the Jayne Dress from the brains of our lovely PUG clan leaders.



I wanted to show that with very simple… Continue

So the third and fourth nights of my Fun Filled Week were about the ballet. Yep, you heard it right, the ballet. I don't want to sound too snobbish or anything like that. But I love to dance and I love to see dance performances. The American Ballet Theatre was in Los Angeles for a few performances. They had two different programs, a selection of three short ballets and then a performance of Le Corsaire. It almost goes without saying, but the dancing was incredible. And the dancers were…

Hey everyone! It's me Tahitia here and I just wanted to say that I've totally missed you guys so much. I haven't been checking in here as often as I'd like and that really has been too bad since you all have been such an amazing and positive force in my life.



The truth is that this has just come down to me working like crazy and not having that many free minutes to talk about flared skirts, high heels, bullet bras and all things pinup related. I just want you all to know though…

Today, I added a few more things to my "box of presents" for the ladies in the PUG Pals! group.

I'm not lucky enough to live near a vintage store, other than ones selling furniture and ornaments; the closet I can come to small vintage things is car boot sales - and there are plenty of those about in summer.

We only went to one today, but I managed to pick up a few little things for myself, and I found a couple of things to add to various packages for my new friends…

Life rarely presents me with five nights/days in a row of getting to look my best and doing fun, out and about activities. But about a week ago I had that opportunity. And I took full advantage of it. If you don't mind I will take full advantage here to do a bit of show and tell. 

It all started on a Tuesday. I had nothing specific planned. But I knew that I wanted to do something. In fact, I got dressed and got in my car before I knew where I was heading. It was a fairly warm…

I haven't posted a blog in awhile.  Now that summer is half over (at least here in Minnesota) I thought I would share my summer of PUG outfits!

I started out spring with my Laura Byrnes high waisted trousers.  I wore these to see The Reckless Ones (a local rockabilly band) perform.  

I've been getting alot of use out of my vamp tops!  I love them.  They…

Alexander Henry now has this beautiful new fabric featuring mermaids posing in pinup style among the ocean floor. Check out these new pillows I made with it :)

If you're interested in purchasing these pillows,…

So after being fed up with always having to either sped a fortune or send from overseas for a headband/scarf which I like. A friend told me that it was easy enough to make your own. So I went to see my dear Grandma today and she has spent  few hours with me trying to teach me how to use a sewing machine. I must admit I am not the most creative or artistic of people but I loved it! She has suggested that I practice first on old material then buy some material which I like when I feel more…

So I joined here a few days ago after a fried recommended it (Zoe N) I am hoping that it is the start of something great! It's so hard to find good nice pin up style clothes and accessories here in the UK. Also I can't find anyone (apart from Zoe of course) who appreciates and likes the same things I do! So here's to the start of a great thing! :-) x

Had a great pin up style photo shoot in Denver last week with Varga Photography. Vintage autos provided by Deluxe Speed Shop and hair and makeup by Kimber Dempsey. Anyone want to see some photos? Ok, I've posted some photos below. Per my model release I must state that all these photos are UNEDITED.

Hello darling ladies;

I hope this finds you well and fabulous (who am I kidding? I'm surrounded by gorgeous!).

I wanted to share with you all my latest vlog up on my YouTube channel. You get to spend a day with me, meet some people I like, and take a look at downtown Toronto!

Feel free to like, share, subscribe, and if you don't have a YouTube account you can catch all the upcoming misadventures of Toronto's Marilyn on my Facebook page as well.

Forgive me for not really… Continue

I had the chance to do a photoshoot last week with Tamera Von Tart,Nikki Napalm and Cherry Dollface. It was such a life changing experience and I'm so glad I did it. To all you pinup models out there, My biggest tip to you is believe in yourself, This will really shine through your photos and they will end up unbelievably amazing. Before my shoot I thought I had everything down to par, Then I realized as with everything in life practice makes perfect. SO ladies before a shoot put the outfit…

Mornings. Good GOD I hate mornings.

Nobody, not one soul, rolls out of bed in perfect appearance ready to take on the trials of a pin up princess.

Anybody? Perfect pin curls? Right out of bed? Nope. Didn't think so.

If you're like me you've got some monster hair going on, and likely yesterday's makeup smeared in some direction unflatteringly down your face. Let's be clear, I am high maintenance as hell. Anyone who knows me will concede to my princess status. Yet some days I just… Continue

Blogging is a little bit like a soap box isn't it?

Fairly new here. Actually, here on the recommendation of a certain PUG staff member. I guess she thinks I could be useful (can we define the term useful?).

Either way, hello!

I won't go into too much today except to introduce myself to the PUGStyle community.

Fellow bombshells, I am Kitten (or at least that's what a select few call me..I also adopted this as my model name. Why? Somehow I decided that something that would… Continue

Hey all -

The Inauguaral Address of the Desilu Diaries will be posted at midnight, PST, on Weds, 07/10 (that's tomorrow!)! Thank you to all who have given me the support to do this again, and I hope ya'll enjoy it. As I listed in my blogger profile, it's me fumbling through life. As such (and since it's not really pin-up related), I'm going to refrain from posting here on PUGStyle... I will note on my page in my status updates when posts go up, so if you'd like to, you can friend me…

I have a new blog post over at Pacifiers and Pinups and another coming along later today.  I found the most awesome top coat for at home manicures, to read more follow the link http://pacifiersandpinups.wordpress.com/ :)

I also completed my first day of waist training today, so all the details will be coming soon!

Wow, am I happy to have found this site?  If only it was around when I first started looking at, lusting after, and occasionally buying from PUG, but that was - what seems to be - a long time ago now.

Sadly, I got rid of all my PUG stuff (which make it sound like I had loads, I didn't), soon after I found out my newly ex-boyfriend had been wearing it - among other things - in secret/behind my back.

So, now I'm finally in a place where I want to be 'me' again, and 'me' includes…
