A Pinup Girl's Guide to Getting Ready

Let's face it, the Pinup look is serious work!! It takes time and concentration to get the curls, the bows, the lashes, the liner and those lips just right and for me it used to not be fun until...

 My author and stylist friend Lloyd Boston is positively brilliant. He gave me the best tip a girl could ever have:

"Make getting ready a part of the night."

So many of us view getting dressed and putting on makeup as the not so great part of going out but if you make it the main event, you will have a blast. It may even be the best part of the night. lol.

Now, this is something I and all my friends do and we love it!

Just a few simple changes will get you in the Mood!

Here is what you do:

~Toss your thick cotton robe for a plush silk one.

~Designate a well lit vanity station where you keep your mirrors and makeup.

~Clean your closet. make it so that you love looking through your closet for something cute to wear.

~Light scented candles. I love tuberose.

~Play some Frank Sinatra. (If you don't have any of his cds just play his station on Pandora)

~Sip on some yummy tea or wine if you're not driving.

~And the single most important step:

~Tell your self you're beautiful!!!

Love this! I am totally guilty of making getting ready the main event... I have more fun styling my hair and make up then I often have once we get where ever we're going haha. Frank is my absolute fave as well. <3

Jennia I just love these blog posts of yours! You really do an amazing job of giving advice on not just looking like a pinup, but feeling, living and breathing like a pinup from deep down inside! I absolutely love this list :)

I personally like combining Brandi's "doing makeup in my lingerie" with your "plus silk robe" suggestion. Trust me, standing/sitting in front of a mirror wearing a open silk robe just showing a tease of your bullet bra and high waisted knickers is a VERY good ladies ;)

Great advice indeed! I love listening to music (Ray Charles station on Pandora my personal favorite). Also, sipping on some wine or cognac, and the most important, saying you're beautiful and sexy, like you've mentioned. Looking forward to reading more. :)
