My Birthday Bash

I had a wonderful evening and celebration of my birthday at Midnight Burlesque, on Friday the 8th of April!! The show was amazing and so was the girls! The whole show was such an uplifting and feel good experience. Great humour, fantastic costumes and sexy ladies that came in all shapes and sizes. I don't think I've been laughing that much in a very long time!

It also made me think about how we girls are way too critical about our own apparance.. That we have to stop thinking we're not good enough, when we are beautiful just the way we are! We don't have to look a certain way. We are all born different, so why stribe to look the same? Or in some way that very few women on this planet look like naturally. Stop worrying about cellulites, dimples, too big this, too small that, wrong shape, too short or long or what ever.. I say live your life and be happy, either you're a small, medium or large. Always remember that you are beautiful and unique!

Besides isn't imperfect what makes us and life interesting? Just like the imperfect is way more perfect, than anything perfect can ever be..

What do you think?

A small peek on the show from Friday, all snagged from the internet this time.. I was too busy watching to get the camera out of the purse:) hahha

Ps: I'll be coming with some more photos of the costume, hair and evening in a later post;)

Elvgren's pinups is the innocent girl next door. Some of his most used models, was in fact the daughters of his next door neighbours.. Elvgren described his models as having a fifteen-year-old-face on a twenty-year-old-body. "He also cited the following features: high forehead, long neck, eyes that were set wide apart, small ears, pert nose, great hair, full but not overblown breasts, nice legs and hands, a pinched-in waist and natural grace and poise." For him it was all about having a model which had an expressful face and highly mobile feautures.

Get That Vavavoom Waist!

How to get that hourglass shaped waist, that you see on the photos of the glam kittens back in the days? A girl might need some help sometimes.. Just like they needed back then. Especially under those sexy, but tight wiggle dresses and playsuits! Why not complete the pinup look with some gorgeous waist cinchers, which also keeps the tummy flat all evening. If you're like me, you don't like to skip a meal, just to make sure that the tummy won't poof!

Check out these lovely waist cinchers from BabygirlBoutique.. They'll make sure that the waist is cinched and the tummy is tucked all eve. Not to mention, no annoying line from your panties around the waist under that hot dress;)



Sensual Doll's by Beatrice Morabito..

Beatrice Morabito is a female artist born in Italy, currently working in Genoa, Italy. I've wanted to make a post about her for a very long time, but never came around to it. Maybe because she's such a favourite, her art truly touches a special string in my heart.. I've been in love with her stunning photos of the Sybarites since the first day I layed eyes on them. Like she's been swinging some magic wand over them and have cast a spell, she has given the dolls life through her beautiful and expressive photos. Powerful, silent yet screaming at you with their emotional messages, mirroring different aspects of life and society it self...

I hope the page won't be a pain to load, but I couldn't stop when I added photos of the lovely dolls, and there's even still more that I would like to add... Obsessed? Haha

"I’m not a “Puppet Maker”... I didn’t “materially” create these Dolls but, as Leopold Von Sacher Masoch didn’t “materially” make the woman and the fur but Created The Venus In Fur and all the emotions linked to this archetipo, by a cetain point of view I created these Dolls. I created these dolls in the way you’re seeing them. I created them in the way your’re appreciating them. So, the Dolls you’re seeing aren’t the Dolls themselves but the Dolls created by my eyes, my mind, my hands"…

"My Own Purpose is to express my Creativity, my Feelings, my Moods though the photographies that I take, and in this case photographies of Dolls. My Own Purpose is to reach Pleasure. My Own Purpose is to express my Own form of Art. I always take inspiration from the inner World: the World of Inconscious"....
