The Marilyn Dandridge Chronicles

Red Lips. Red Shoes. Red Carpet.

Getting dressed for the red carpet is never easy.

When I got the invite for the NAACP nominees luncheon at The Montage in Beverly Hills all I could think was, "what's a…

A Brooklyn PUG Life

Greetings fellow PUGsters!

Although I have been intermittently creeping on this site for some time, I have yet to post any pictures or info about myself, so I thought now is as good of a time to start as any other.

My PUG creation myth begins like that of many others, so I will skip over the details.  When I was 8 years old, my family immigrated to Brooklyn (from the former Soviet Union) and here began my truly formative years.  Needless to say, being 8 years old and trying to…

Shopping Meet Up: PUG Boutique and What Katie Did (with photos!)

I guess that I am going to give you the long detailed version of this event and how it happened. The original genesis of this was when Christina Sangre posted to the Ladies of Los Angeles group about scheduling a Meet Up. Due to her busy life, she was not able to put anything together as she had hoped. But I am sure that she will make something happen in the future and I want to thank her for bringing us all together. So I decided that it might be fun to do a small Meet Up. Well, a…

Burlesque, Bucket Lists & 34 Days to Las Vegas

Hey everyone! It’s me Tahitia here, and since it’s been a little bit since my last blog post I thought I’d drop a line to you all just to let you know how things are going.

I’ve made a few product purchases that I’m going to review, there’s a new pinup group that I’ve started I’d like to talk about, some burlesque news AND I have a bucket list update for you all, so sit back and enjoy :)

Making 2013 the year of the hat!

Just like every other vintage loving lady, I find myself obsessing over old photographs of woman done up. Whether it be to the 9's, or to a ballgame, I love seeing what color combos they came up with outfits, their jewelry, shoes, accessories, everything! Back then they didn't have to 'try' to look 1950s... they just were- hah!

One thing I always notice but…

Fun times... London, LA, the OC

OI have had a busy and fun start to my new year and so I thought that I might do a little post to update you about some of my activities. And I have a few pics to share.

Let me start off with my trip to London. I have been fortunate to make regular visits to London, usually during the month of January for a round of intense theatre activities, lots of museum visiting and in general loads of fun stuff. I won't go into all of my activities but I will mention some things that have to do…

The Mila Dress

I finally found a picture of it. The dress I'm wearing in my current profile picture is PUGs Mila dress from 2005, I believe. I need to take more pictures of myself in it but in the meantime here's Amie Decker in the Mila off the website from back in the day.

Gorgeous dress, gorgeous Amie!

And now here's my arm wearing it:…

Some PUG inspiration...

Hi everyone!

I thought for my second blog post here I would tell you a little about what I am up to at the moment. If you have read my last post A life without PUG you will know that the last year has been a big process of evolving for me, coming to terms in my head the kind of person I want to be, and how PUG has been a part of that. It's not just been about my personal…

Dancin' Burlesque PUG Style

Hey everyone! I really wanted to have a blog entry much sooner than this, but the last few weeks since my New Years post have just been INSANE with work, but also with (and I'm quite happy to say) the rehearsals for a pair of upcoming burlesque shows.



Since I don't have any new PUG product to review today, I thought I'd just take a few minutes of your time to tell…

A Note for the New Year

I have been contemplating posting something on this site since I created my own page some time ago now.  Overall, I have yet to be very active on my own page, and involving myself in many of the discussions that take place.  However, it never ceases to amaze me how wonderful this community is, and though I have not been vocal here until now, I felt it necessary to make it known how much I appreciate the existence of such a company, and the beautiful community that surrounds it.

Journey of Pinup healing

I've been meaning to write this for sometime, and what better time than right now? So here goes. A few months ago I saw an announcement for a pinup shoot with Holly West with hair and makeup by Micheline Pitt and Erika Reno. I thought dare I try it? Could I? So I inquired and lo and behold booked a shoot. I'm so glad it worked out because it has been part of my journey of healing. So thankful for PUG and the amazing community of women from all over the…
