Once again, I have decided that I might as well do some more self promotion and do another blog post. I have nothing to promote really. But I just like to share with my peers. And my important peers are PUGsters. So here goes.

There is no rhyme or reason to when I shop. I do always like to look for a bargain. So when PUG's website has a special sale I usually try to take advantage of it and buy myself a piece of two. Sometimes, I am buying for a special occasion. Sometimes I am buying…

So, I went to a retreat center in the woods this weekend. The event is probably too specific to explain here (it's sort of a reenactment/roleplaying activity, but more of a fantasy-ish one than a historical one so there's a wide range of possibilities for what people can do), but basically there are a lot of people who attend who are very devoted to wearing costumes they've worked extensively on.  For various reasons I have been a little bit ill so I wasn't able to participate in the…

I’ve had the topic of this post on my mind for a few days, and was spurred into action upon seeing a tweet by a company attempting to goad people into making a purchase with them by saying that certain celebrities “looked great!” at a recent event and that one could “get the look” in store or on-line (how convenient).

Much to various (and mostly female) family member’s disdain I have never been one to follow “fashion”.  While I was very young, I obviously had my clothes bought for me,…

Long time, no post! 

Gosh, I've been such a lurker these past few months - but I've never really felt that I've had something to contribute. Well, I've got news for you!

My fiance and I finally have our own apartment, and I've supplied myself with a nice little makeup battle station in our bathroom. 

I've taken the plunge and invested in a vamp dress! I bought it off eBay, and from what I can tell, it's an older version, but I absolutely LOVE…

Well, yesterday I had my birthday. And the honest truth is that I turned sixty years old. I am not fooling. I guess that a combination of good genes and lots of hard work have kept me looking pretty good. I have not had any "work" done. But I do "work out" on an almost daily basis. My skin care regimen is pretty basic. I try to follow the mantra "moisturize, moisturize, moisturize". I have been primarily a vegetarian for more than 40 years. I have a profession that I love. I always try to…

Hey guys! It's me Tahitia and it's Thursday and that means that it's time for another installment of Interview Thursdays over at Great Lake Pinup!



Now a lot of you have asked me questions about what I've been up to with working as a background performer (an extra) in Toronto's TV & film industry and that's why it's an absolute privilege to bring you an interview with an incredibly talented…

Sometimes life gives you little opportunities that you just have to take advantage of. I guess that most of you already know that when Sarah Silverman was at the Emmy Awards a couple of weeks ago she wore a Vamp Dress in black. Sarah can be hilariously funny. She is very attractive. And she is quite intelligent. Those are all qualities that I try to demonstrate in my daily life. So that just got me to thinking. And I came up with an idea. I would wear some of my vamp pieces and similar items…

Yes, I just decided to join the dark side and pretend I am a spammer. It is still just little old me. But I thought that I would have a bit of fun. For the next little while I am using as my profile pic a photo of me wearing one of my salwar kameez's, the traditional South Asian pantsuit. 

Do you want sportswear? Do you want to watch football games? Well, you have come to the wrong place! Do you want me to block up the discussion board with stupid inanities? Well, you won't get that…

DEAR STUPID SPAMMER,

PLEASE LEAVE US ALONE, CANT YOU SEE THIS ISN'T A SPORTS BASED WEBSITE, NONE OF US WILL CLICK ON YOUR STUPID SPAM. YOU WASTING YOUR TIME HERE, MAYBE YOU BUMPED YOUR HEAD TOO MUCH PLAYING FOOTBALL!!!

A Pinup's Magic Carpet Ride

Last night was the premiere for Paula Patten's new romantic comedy 'Baggage Claim'. The carpet was crazy! Too many stars to name. Ok, fine, I'll name a few: Robin Thicke, Trey Songs, Jill Scott, of course the very gorgeous Paula Patten and…

Hey guys! It's me Tahitia and I just wanted to know that I have a new blog post up and online over at my Great Lake Pinup site, and it's a very special one to me because not only is the woman I'm interviewing an incredibly talented fashionista, an ambitious entrepeneur and a great ambassador for the pinup lifestyle, but she's also an amazing friend to so many of us!



So have a look at…

So I get paid in the middle of the month.  It's a bit weird, I guess but it works for me.  Usually, the first Saturday after pay day I take off to our nearest "city" and have a bit of a spend.  I figure the short car trip is cheaper than postage for one or two places, and I get to have a browse around too!

After much complaining about work and suchlike, my other half decided to accompany me, which made a nice change.  On Friday night he found out that one of the villages between…

I am currently in dire need of money. Please check out my plus-size closet sale. 

Items are all 1-2x (some running quite large) in various styles. 

I just saw a lady walk by (I'm near Pike Place Market) wearing the Bettie Page Side Effect in leopard, with matching leopard purse with red flower & red hair flower & tres cute black flats trimmed in red ... pushing a walker.  I hope when I'm that old I'm still a pinup too!

I was lucky enough to visit the new Bettie Page store here on Capitol Hill and get the Veronica on sale for only about $60 all told. It looks amazing on me and I got a hair flower at a shop down the street…

I had a realisation this weekend.

My parents took my other half and I, plus my sister and her two kids out, to celebrate their wedding anniversary that was earlier in the month.  My other half and I have busy lives and work schedules, so my parents et us choose the date, meal (lunch or dinner), and location.  We choose lunch, and it was this past Saturday; and we went to my favourite Italian restaurant, called Casa Romana.  I actually used to work there when I was doing my GCSE's, and…

Sorry about the long title for this post. But I wanted to give you a taste of what this will be about. So, first things first. I knew that I was going to have three days and nights completely to myself this past weekend. I dress vintage or repro vintage as much as humanly possible. I love my Pin Up Girl Clothing so much. It is so flattering. It makes me feel so wonderful when I wear it. So I decided that I would wear nothing but PUG during my adventures.

I made my weekend a…
