Want to be a pinup?
Hey ladies! I had so much fun with this on the retro and vintage wedding boards (I still moderate over there, I'm not going through withdrawal I swear. hehe). Our siggy challenge this month was to go through the pinup paintings of Elvgren and find your alter ego. I would love to see the pinups of my October nesties, too, though, so I thought I'd post this! Please look through the pictures in the link below and post your pinup alter ego in this thread; the Elvgren pinup photo you identify with!!!!
Look here:

Please dont forget to tell us why you chose the one you did. (also... it needs to be said... please post no nudes, thnx)
Mine is in my siggy. I knew it was "me" as soon as I saw the purple dress, the blonde hair and the SQUIRREL! I still feed my squirrels every day. I'm out of pecans now, but they have settled for (messy) peanuts and two of them now eat from my hand (albeit very very nervously). I have four squirrels total (two couples--one grey squirrel couple, and one black).
Their names are Barf, The Mrs., Ninja, and Burglar
Re: Want to be a pinup?
Nukke I had a pet squirrel for a year and a half. We found him injured as a baby. He was awesome!
I'll go with this one. I love baking...and I usually burn things
hahaha adorable!
btw, what was your squirrel's name?
I picked this one because this girl is obviously pressed to be somewhere because it doesn't even matter that her heel is broken, she is going. I feel like I always on the go and don't have time to deal with things like broken heels.
When we first found him his name was peanut. But after about a week, it changed to puppy. I deperately wanted a puppy but couldn't have one so he was my substitute. He was so sweet and super playful. I will have to see if I can find the pictures when I get home.
These are cute!
I chose this one because Mike and I have actually been playing a lot of chess lately, and "capturing the queen" has a whole new meaning for us
I chose this pic because I've always loved it. It actually used to be my MySpace pic back in the day :-/
I work in an office and can be terribly clumsy. And I just love this expression! If/when I ever do a B-shoot, I'd love to recreate something like this

I love this topic!
For me, it was an easy choice. I have always loved this pic, and will be incorporating it into the logo for my boutique once I get it off the ground.
It just makes me smile!
I chose this one because, well, she's blonde, has great cleavage, and obviously loves her TV. lol
Missing our little turkey.

The puppy training hits pretty close to home:
This is the one I think my DH would pick, because of the dog and the penguin (he LOVES penguins).
It was hard to choose, but I'll go with this one because we just got a puppy and because the colors in her shirt appear to be orange and blue (Go Gators!):

For some reason, I can't put the actual image in my post.

It was a hard choice there two that had my name all over them! but it came down to this one being Me the most!
