DIARY OF A PIN UP | DECEMBER 2015

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

With Christmas on it's way the pinups come out to play ... I mean it's quite normal to go ice skating in your underwear, right?!

Christmas Cover Girl

Delicious Dolls Magazine - Christmas 2015. With December being one of their most popular issues I was delighted to be picked as the Delicious Dolls cover model with this image by DollHouse Photography.

This incredible 8 image Christmas strip tease set was featured in 4 pages of the world famous magazine. For this issue I wrote a whole feature about our festive photo shoot at the studio in Birmingham.

This is the start of my monthly column in the Delicious Dolls Magazine, followed by my article "Behind Every Great Woman is a Delicious Derrière" featured in their January 2016 issue.

Miss Pinup UK - Christmas Party

I was invited along to the Miss Pinup UK reunion party held in Bristol on December 12th 2015.

Rio Wild hosted the event as well as entertained us with an incredible burlesque performance. I was delighted to meet the adorable Lulu Vesper, current winner of Miss Pinup UK and vocalist.

I also met a few other pinup models and performers including Bunny Valentine, Miss Buxom Beauty, Cherry Bombon, Megan La Belle, Seren Dippity and Miss Kiki-Ann to name a few!

I went along with my lovely friend and fellow model Ami-Lou who also performed a solo act. It was such a delightful evening and I hope to hang out with the pin up girls again soon.

Calendar Delivery!

During the lead up to Christmas, whilst everyone else was shopping for presents and stocking up on food supplies, I was swamped with 2016 calendar orders!

I was left emotional and yet ecstatic upon receiving three huge boxes in the post one morning! I'm truly honoured to contribute to the ever-popular pinup industry and to be supported in return is an achievement for which I am very grateful.

I must have spent a fair few hours signing and kissing every single one, it's safe to say I need a new lipstick and a new gold pen!

Over the Christmas period I have received such overwhelming and delightful feedback from my fans regarding my calendar. I really do appreciate all the compliments and I will take this as a big thumbs up to produce another calendar for 2017!

New Pin Up Images by Dollhouse

Nautical pin up has to be one of my favourite types of pin up, along with military pinup, so I was more than excited to shoot this image with DollHouse Photography for my 2016 calendar.

I know it's not summer yet but I couldn't help but share this adorable golf pinup image with you all. This was also shot by DollHouse Photography for my 2016 pinup calendar.

Merry Christmas!

Nothing says 'the end of the year' quite like Christmas.

Wine, chocolate, old movies and more wine sure is a pleasant send off for 2015.

I had such a lovely Christmas with my two children (the dog and my boyfriend - let's hope he doesn't read this!) and his family, who have adopted me as their own! 2015 has been a great year for my business as well as my pin up hobby and I hope this good fortune continues into 2016.
