VLV 16 was our first and will not be our last - our rooms are already booked for next year. :-) I can't even begin to describe the phenomenon that is Viva Las Vegas. It is literally like being emerged into another culture. The music, the cars, the hair, the clothes, the everything.  We got home last night at 2 am and I could not sleep - every time I closed by eyes I dreamt of Viva.  It's like a rockabilly hangover!

After about 2 weeks into my Pin-Me-Up personal challenge to revamp my tired stay-at-home-mom, Active Wear Hell wardrobe into a classy Pinup/Vintage homage, I thought it was about time for a progress report.  

It's going...slowly...in the right direction.  I wish I could blink my eyes like Jeannie and have the entire PUG collection in my closet, but alas, I must scrimp and slowly collect when money permits, just like the rest of these lovely PUG gals here.  (But I must say that I am…

Well there are some things that I have been wanting to post and I think that posting it to my blog is the best way to get the job done. I guess that first I will start with a little background. And for those of you who don't know me, I will tell you the big thing first, I am transgendered. Yep, that means I was born as a male and I live as a male most of the time. But I have a very strong feminine aspect to my makeup (and I am not talking cosmetics here). I have not had any of "the surgery"…

I’m new here, and this is my first blog, so hi! :) I’ve loved reading everyone’s blog posts, looking at your stunning pictures and getting ideas for how best to pair together PUG’s amazing pieces. :)

I’m a big fan of both PUG and Stop Staring and have been adding to my closet from both for some time. My new most favorite favorite favorite dress of all is the Lauren. Sigh. Oh my how I LOVE that dress. It’s straight up DANGEROUS, ladies, in all the good ways. :)

Love your uniqueness. The best part of fruit is on the inside.

My latest blog post over at Pacifiers & Pinups, how to start cultivating a pinup wardrobe.  Hint: it involves a lot of PUG :)

See you soon, and please comment on my blog!  I would love to hear from you ladies, anything I left out, recommendations, etc.  Thanks

Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend is just around the corner and it seems that I always have the same problem every year, looking for the perfect comfortable shoes for the occasion. If you're going this year you'll find out you spend a lot of time on your feet whether its shopping, standing front and center of a stage watching your favorite band (La Cholita and The Creeps are performing 9:30…

It's enough of a pain trying to find clothes (not tunics, actual clothes) that fit and flatter a plus-size figure. More girls should go pin-up - I've never felt as beautiful or been so complimented as I am when I adorn a PUG frock and curl my hair! 

In an effort to help my fellow plus-size PUGs out there I'll go through my new purchases, finds and great looks and share them here. Why not, right?!

Hey guys! It's me Tahitia and I just wanted to drop by with a really quick entry today. It's been a little while since my past blog, and unfortunately I don't have any PUG to review and share today. What can I say, hubby and I are saving all our pennies for Viva  ;)



What I CAN share with you today is a…

This week I had an amazing opportunity to be a guest on the Nuvo TV show Curvy Girls! Our episode was being taped in one of the HOTTEST spots in Las Vegas, NV Firefly. I knew I needed a standout outfit, hair & makeup to really make a good impression so I naturally decided to swing by the Pinup Girl Boutique in Burbank, CA. Thanks to the lovely Justine & Carole I decided to go with the new Folly Flair Mermaid Dress in Black & Red. Here's a photo of me in the shop trying on this…

Everyone has a 'go to' piece of clothing and mine is without a doubt the Deadly Dames Capris. And now I am going to to tell you why.

First off, no matter if your feeling daggy & slopping around the house or you want to slip into something snazzy to show off what you've got, the capri will fit your mood. They look fantastic paired with either a slouchy shirt or say a bustier & heels.  Sometimes I want to look fab but am…
