But I can't say that my patience and diligence did pay off because I actually really like how the finished product came out.



This Classic Pinup/Rosie the Riveter inspired style is how I usually wear my hair on Lazy Sundays or any…

Again About History of Pinup

Ancient man clearly had some level of reverence for the female structure, according to Paleolithic models of blessed by the gods ladies. Anthropologists are uncertain in the event that they images of richness or sensual talismans went around by horney seekers. These Venuses served a need or the benefit of everyone some way or another, regardless of the fact that they don't take after our strict meaning of pin-up.

Corsets are probably one of the most popular while at the same time most harshly criticized pieces of women’s garments.

Victorian era saw great rise in popularity of corsets as well as their demise. How so? For the Victorian ladies it was common to waist up and get the perfect hourglass shape that was, at the time, cherished and, well, expected. However, the type of corsets worn then was uncomfortable and was known to cause…

The favorite task of all dreamers - imagine will look our future. There were always many dreamers, and now we can turn back and see the dreams of people from past centuries. One such project - a series of drawings from Jean-Marc Côté, made in 1899, 1900, 1901 and 1910, entitled "France in the year 2000", where artists have tried to predict the future one hundred years ahead.

Paintings include some interesting innovations, which, according to the authors, would occur over the next… Continue

Selling Deadly Dames Hot Rod Honey Dress in Venus Fly Trap print size Large

Hello, Ladies! 

I have a Deadly Dames Hot Rod Honey Dress size Large in the Venus Fly Print that I would like to sell for 80.00 (shipping included) or trade for a size XL.

Hello Pin up World!!

I am new to this community and I'm super excited about it! I'm happy theres so many others that share the same interest as me. Where I come from, there aren't many pin up girls especially my age (20). So its hard for me to talk to others about my passion. 

Looking forward to making some new friends :)

It's been a while....

I realise that it's been waaaaay too long since I've logged on here.
So much has happened, I've travelled a little bit, bought a whole load of new clothes and missed PUG tremendously!
So I endeavour to get some new photos on, update my page and re connect with PUG!
That's my promise ☺️

Work clothes

So seen as though I'm at work ALL day everyday and I usually just have something smart on I decided a while back that I needed to get myself PUG'd up for work.
But here's my difficulty, what do you wear to an office job? It's has to be smart, not too revealing and I work for the NHS so I can't have anything which may raise eyebrows, so no patterns as such.
Anyone any ideas?
