I often get asked how I got my start in pin up modeling. I had my first shoot when I was 19 years old and fell in love with the style immediately. Since then I have spent a lot of time trying to perfect the pin up style and look. Pin up definitely takes dedication, it is a lifestyle. I am still learning new things everyday and I'm sure I have lots more to learn. I would definitely have to say that Marilyn Monroe was and still is a the biggest inspiration in my looks and style.
I think what I love most about modern pin up is that it embraces all body types and styles. It doesn't matter if you are a size 6 or a size 16, beauty is all about confidence. Pin up makes you feel sexy, and when you feel sexy your confidence will definitely show!
