Running from Scary People in our Favorite PUG Items

So, this is another adventure from our personal blog, Junebugs and Georgia Peaches but if you ever wondered what it'd be like to run from stranger danger in a full skirt or full skirt-ed dress... here's a story!

A couple of weekends ago, I drove to Augusta, GA from Nashville, TN to visit my best friend and, amount other things, announce a pinup contest!  We were especially excited because it seemed like a lot…

Jealousy

I’m not a jealous person, usually. I feel like it’s at the top of the list of useless/harmful emotions. But sometimes I get jealous. Today I did. When I do, I feel the most important thing to do is ask myself *why*-



So today, I was on the intertubes and I ran across a blog run by a woman who paints, cooks, sews, etc. She documents her life. And as I was scrolling through her images, I felt it - this weird sinking feeling in my gut. Then I heard it - my inner voice, and it was…

Masuimi & Laura's Day of WIN

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:…

PinUp Girl Changed Everything

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…

Pinup Contest Thoughts..

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…

A disappointing result from an otherwise usually complimenting society

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…

Being Me

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…

Feeling Very Ella-gant: Review of the Ella Dress (Don't Worry, I Know It's Spelled "Elegant")

So for once this post made it to Pinup Girl Style before it got posted on my personal blog, Junebugs and Georgia Peaches but that just means y'all get to see it first!  I'm sure all my fellow literary pinups are cringing at the title, but my other option was "You Can Stand Under my Umbr-ELLA" and well... I don't want anyone standing under my dress. ; )

I cannot begin to explain how excited I was 5 months ago…

Reasons I Love PUG, Number 1

So last night I decided to look online at a big UK chain clothing retailer who has a store near to me.  I need/want a "proper" coat for summer - something that will work with skirts & dresses on cooler days, and for work (I leave the house just after 6am, so it's usually cool at that time of day for at least another month or so).

The website loaded, and as I hovered over the 'women' menu and looked for 'coats & jackets' my eyes came to rest on a heading that read '£10…
