How to make a Kitty purrrrrr

Thu, 4 Mar 2010 21:31:36 -0700

One of the very first pinups I featured here was Miss Kitty Walls
I keep a pretty close eye on her stuff and vote for her in any contest she's running in

Well a little birdie told me she was participating in one starting today over on Ravage

from her ModelMayhem Page

I am a simple girl who loves the past !!!
Currently looking for TFP/CD or paid work{contact me for rates} in the Wisconsin or twin cities area.
But would be willing to travel if compensated.
I would love to meet any photographers interested in doing pin-up or retro work and hear their ideas.
Thank You,
Kitty

check out her MySpace for more pics and info

ok it's not complicated...
go to http://www.ravage.com
Click Register (or click this link to get there quick)

Voting starts March 5th at 12:00am and continues until 11:59 pm on march 14th
That's two weeks of voting... a couple min of your day for 14 days
and I hear the pinup with most votes at the end of the day becomes the first RAVAGE girl
Mark Gerardi will then work with the winner to create the RAVAGE GIRL artwork!

Frenchy St Claire

Mon, 1 Mar 2010 10:27:38 -0700

One of my favorite pinup girls of all time is Frenchy St Claire
as a matter of fact the calendar she puts out is the only calendar I own
but this post isn't about Kitten Koffin Zombies.. it's all about Frenchy

She spends a lot of time working on KKZ stuff and I don't think people realize that she is a kick ass pinup in her own right

from her MySpace

My name is Frenchy St Claire and I'm a pretty shy girl if i don't know you.
I'm stubborn, down to earth, organized (most of the time), optimistic-sometimes, and low-key.
Most of the times, I'm the fly on the wall.
I don't like overly loud, rude and obnoxious people.
I own and operate Kitten Koffin Zombies, have my own Graphic Design business and do some photography on the side.
I also bake cupcakes, have a love/obsession of everything pinup related, dig tattoos (have a bunch myself), fashion design, shoes, makeup, magazines, music, dancing and my four crazy cats.

I had the pleasure of talking to Frenchy once on the air during a Tommy D's Nutz show and she was a complete doll
Personally I think she needs to take some time off from KKZ and do some more modeling herself

Here is how you can find Frenchy and KKZ
KKZ Website
Pinup Lifestyle
KKZ Facebook Fan Page
KKZ MySpace
Frenchy's MySpace

I have Frenchy on my FaceBook as well... but I'm not giving out that particular bit of information

just so you know.. the last pic on this post is one of my favorites
and served as the inspiration for my pinup tattoo

oh and Frenchy? Dear? Sweety? Darlin?
I love cupcakes ;)

Amy

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 18:37:19 -0700

There is no telling exctly why I post the pics I do when
All depends on my mood or what strikes me

In this case it's the ink.. and Amy has a ton of gorgeous artwork on her

from her Model Mayhem profile

my names amy. my love is pin up, but i also do fashion, glamour........and artistic nudes if the price is right. i prefer to do my own makeup unless there is a specific look that i cannot do, and i am always willing to work with hair stylists.

i am charging for shoots. my rates are very cheap, please inquire!!!! i will consider select TF.

im far from difficult or a diva, despite what SOME people like to say about me. so a heads up to everyone: i know exactly what i want and how i want it. i have a vision about my posing and editing, so i am picky. i give my honest opinion about things without sugar coating it, and i dont think theres anything wrong with that. nothing about me is difficult or high maintenance....i just want good photos, and i wouldnt have done photo shoots with the photographers ive worked with unless i believe in their work!!!!! on the same token i am open minded, punctual, innovative, and i love to laugh and have a fun time while shooting. im always in a good mood and love to joke around. im blunt and assertive in how i act, but thats just who i am and im not here to please anyone. im not here to kiss up to you or anyone else, so if you dont like my personality i really dont care.

if we shoot TF* then i'd appreciate it if i get a cd copy of all the photos from our shoot. i only think its fair since im the one doing the modeling if i can see all of them in some way. dont worry- i dont post unedited photos! thats a big no-no in my book.

NOTE: it usually takes me 2-3 hours to get perfected and ready. on top of that im driving to you AND im posing until im physically exhausted. not to mention ill most likely be posing in underwear in front of YOU, whom i barely know. so with all of that said PLEASE dont complain or be a douche if i ask you for gas money!!! cut a girl some slack!!!

if you prefer not to shoot me i'd appreciate it if you told me rather than avoid my messages or lead me on. i get annoyed easily. yes- im a message stalker. i check to see if youve read my messages and get upset if you dont answer back. thats just rude. im aggressive, i know what i want and go after it. its not a character flaw, its who i am and i offer no apologies. so please.....just tell me yes or no!!!

I tried to hit her up on MySpace, but the profile is marked private if you really want to be her myspace friend it might take some work

but I think it's so worth it

Her look is quite versatile going from noir to classic to modern pinup
and yes she is quite beautiful, but in this case what catches my eye is the ink
She makes a lovely canvas and her artwork only goes to enhance what is already there

Enjoy

Pinky Sui

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 05:45:57 -0700

California based Pinky Sui rounds out my Ink-n-Iron Pin-up Pagent picks
She's a self-described "light skinned Hispanic dame"

She should say light skinned Hispanic glamour dame, a lot of the pics I looked at belonged in a 40's hollywood magazine

check out her video called "ink n iron pinup pageant plea for votes"

from her MySpace

I am a working mom of a beautiful baby girl.
I do some modeling when ever i get the chance ,
I am very fun and outgoing person , I can be shy at first but if you can start a convo I am pretty good at keeping it going I have lots to say about everything and nothing ha ha , Besides being a model and a mother I also aspire to become a member of the SBSD ( San Bernardino Sheriff Dept)
please don't let that keep you from being my friend
I just like jobs that let me take control ;) tee hee,
Well another thing to say about myself is that I am pretty much an open book anything you want to know I will tell you unless your being a perv,
then I will shut you down fast and delete you from my friends
I am a lady not a whore

Several of the pics I chose to post here were done by Marco Patino
There is a style of pinup pics that I just love, the kind where you feel you are peeking thru the keyhole and getting a glimpse of something that is waiting for you
Marco caught that in these images and you can believe that I will be looking him up

There are some awesome shots over on her Model Mayhem profile

and I love being a part of making beautiful art!

San Von Zombie

Tue, 9 Feb 2010 07:58:22 -0700

San Von Zombie is another one of my picks in the Ink-n-Iron Pin-up Pagent
Any pinup with Zombie in her name is worth a second look in my opinion :)

from her MySpace

Who is this ghoulishy glamourous girl wreaking terror upon the innocent?
Hello, kittens. I'm San Von Zombie and welcome to my midnight spookshow.
Apparently my reputation precedes me.
I'm an old school pin-up girl at heart obsessed with all things creepy, freaky, spooky and down right terrifying. Zombies, Pirates, Bats, Spiders, Ghosts, Ghouls, Vampires, Werewolves and other creatures of the night hold a special place in my heart.
Don't be fooled, however, I adore unicorns and wish I owned a pet octopus.
In reality, I'm named after the actress who plays Elvira.
I'm your typical case of a Catholic school girl gone terribly wrong. I have a horrible medical fetish and would love if you played doctor with me.
You'll always find my covered head-to-toe in skull and cross bones, cheetah print and cherries.
I'm a Starbucks barista by day, nude, fetish & pin-up model by night.
I'm addicted to the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter novels and won't read any other books involving vampires or the like.
I simply adore art, of any kind. Art galleries, museums and little coffee shops on rainy days tickle my fancy.
Some call me the make-up extrodinaire, and with that being said, my eyebrows come off at night.
I like my coffee how I like my lungs, black; I'm addicted to vanilla cloves and will only smoke otherwise under dire cirsumstances.
I have a pitbull mix named Benington and he'll tear your pathetic excuse for a dog in half.
I have been known to dip my hand into religions a little less than holy.
Witchcraft, Voodoo and the Occult being my top favorites.
However if you'd like a straight answer, I'm Pagan. (NOT Wiccan, mind you.)
I wish, oh god, do I wish I was a classic film noir femme fatal.
Unfortuantly, I was born into the wrong era.
You can normally find me looming around a graveyard or downtown San Diego at my favorite hookah bar.
I'm a cast member for Crazed Imaginations, San Diego's own Rocky Horror Picture Show cast.
Which is where you will find me almost every Friday night at midnight.
I like to fill the silence in my head with classic punk, horrorpunk, rockabilly, psychobilly and 1940's jazz.
I find the sound of a stand up bass is extremely sexy.
I enjoy driving down the coast listening to Frank Sinatra. On occasion I enjoy metal, hardcore, grindcore and anything else "the scene" considers acceptable.
I'm San Von Zombie, often imitated never duplicated.
You'll never meet anyone quite like me.
Promise.
I'm too beautiful to be upset so I put on some heels and smoke.

Statements like "I find the sound of a stand up bass is extremely sexy."
make me EXTREMELY glad I'm a bass player

Miss Kelli - aka Betty Le Boom

Mon, 8 Feb 2010 05:55:27 -0700

Here are a few shots from one of the girls in the Ink-n-Iron Pin-up Pagent
Miss Kelli - aka Betty Le Boomfrom her MySpace

So here is a little about me�
I grew up on a farm and in a small town, moved to the big city of Seattle when I was 20yo., moved to the swamps of New Orleans (will ALWAYS have a deep place in my heart) after Katrina, then came back to Seattle, and have had the deep desire to move to Austin TX for the last 4 years�
But I have a greater love and that is the one of wanting to become a burlesque dancer and a this time Seattle is a great place to be for that!
I work in a pediatric hospital, and in my free time I love to go see burlesque performances, drag-queens (I have a favorite!), go to cabaret shows, and spend time with my dogs.
I love the story of Bonnie and Clyde�I think that it was very romantic�

Going thru her MySpace I do believe Miss Kelli needs to post some more pics
