Just a blah sad dayy

Hi...

   I'm so blah today. And randomly upset about the guy who hung himself at the college were people I know go, they didn't know him, and neither did I, but it always hits home when I hear about that stuff since my stepsister. I had a dream about her, and she always appears in my thoughts randomly. And then I get sad. Rest in peace everyone who has ended their life for whatever reason. I wish you realized that everything would eventually be okay.

Stay positive,

Burlesque & pin up

I'm completely obsessed with the old fashion glamor. Those women of the 40s/50s we're real women, with curves, style, and darn right classy. As a photographer I am going into pin up photography, because I just think, even if you're not a model you can get a surge of confidence when putting yourself into the heels of the women back then. The hair, the make up, the poses. All of it makes you feel sexy and confident. That's going to be my goal of my work, to make women feel beautiful, like they truly are. I not only enjoy being behind the camera but also in front. I'm certainly not a super thin tall model girl, but the feeling of being a bombshell thrills me to no end. I enjoy dressing up in that vintage style, it's all conservative but still so sexy too.
For my business, I'll have a studio, with all the photography jazz, plus props and retro clothing and burlesque style stuff too. I'll do their hair and make-up, since I was going into hair dressing and I've grown up knowing how to, I'm pretty good at it and still on the quest to study that era's hair and make-up so I'll get even better!
I'll do calenders, posters, or just plain old photographs. Will help pick a pin up name or they can come up with their own, apart of the package deal. I can do single person stuff or groups. You can wear what you want or bare it all. It will always be a professional environment, and I plan on only having female workers, so the women always feel comfortable, I wouldn't want to ruin their fun experience by them getting all shy.
I truly can't wait to get started on doing this! I'm starting my savings with my full time job now! And after I get some more studio stuff I can start to build a portfolio!
Wish me luck on this career of mine!

xoxo- Christina
