The New Retro

The Constantly Dramatic One is here to declare 2 things.

1) I loved cupcakes before it was cool to do so. Suddenly out of the blue everyone loves cupcakes and it's the in-thing for any parties to serve cupcakes. It's like a damn trend. People, I have been getting fatter by eating cupcakes before any of y'all are. 2) I was waaaaay into 40's fashion and them pin-up girls before Hollywood brought it back with the help of Christina Aguilera and her whole 'Back to Basics' album. Waaaaaaay before you bitches jump on the bandwagon. I just need to point out that I, the Constantly Dramatic One, is waaaay ahead of the curve and also states that I am also cooler than you. Like I'm so cool that before I pull up into any parking lot I find it immensely necessary to blast my radio so loud so that everyone could listen to my crappy girly-pop music like the Sugababes ultra hip music. Cause I'm sad cool like that. Now that we understand the fact that I am collectively cooler than anyone else, and stop shaking your head and going "Tsk tsk, poor deluded thing. Tsk tsk.", I would like to say that Vanity Fair rocks!! No seriously. Their new spread about up and coming actresses is great. All them beautiful ladies have been style like the pinup girls of the 50es. The hair, the make up, the poses is just glorious. I'm practically salivating looking at these photos. God I love pin-ups. And to top it all of, some of these shots are a real tribute to some of my favourite pin-up artistes, Gil Elvgren and Alberto Vargas most famous works. Check it out! Original: Gil Elvgren New Retro: The pose is dead on. Original: Gil Elvgren. The New Retro: This is one of my favourites! It seemed to be one of the more accurate re-enactment. From art to reality. They even styled her hair according to the original. The position of her legs, the gift box, the lingerie are all the same.....it makes me ridiculously happy. Original: Gil Elvgren. This happens to be one of my favourite pin-up girl picture. Ever. Her legs, her shoes, the garter and especially the expression on her face is priceless. New Retro: Love it!!!! An updated version but still true to the original. Also the fact that the heels matches the apples on the desk is priceless. My only problem with this is that it looked to photoshopped as compared to the rest. She looks plastic, not human. Original: Gil Elvgren (?) The New Retro: Actually to tell you the truth, this particular picture is based on another pin-up girl art. I remember seeing one of those before but I don't have the original in my collection. That one is exactly like this but the thing is I don't have it in my collection. Anyone else does? Original: Alberto Vargas. This is actually one of Vargas's most famous work. The New Retro: I hate Hayden Pantyliner for reason that is too long for me to type. I mean, seriously. Loathe her. The only reason I stop watching Heroes is cause I can't stand her. And I don't even have a thing for that Milo guy. I just cannot stand her. But in any event, this is a good homage to Vargas. Original: Gil Elvgren. New Retro: Yes, the outfit is not the same but the pose is same, no? God, I need to start shopping again and get me some high-waisted pants, start wearing more makeup a'la the 50s, and get me some bighair so I can walk around pretending to be a pin-up. Any girls out there wanna join me? Guys too, if you're into this sort of thing. I don't discriminate, bitches. For the rest of the Vanity Fair spread - there's 26 all together- go here. And since I'm feeling generous, click on the pin-up below and you'll get to see my entire pinup collection. All 295 of them. I'll leave the album public for a week so you guys just save whatever you like.
