Pin-Up Party Round TWO!

Dottie's Delights is crazy with events and we hope you are able to share in them with us!  But, I must admit the Pin-Up Photo parties are definitely my favorite!  We love transforming curious ladies into real pin-up queens and showing you that anyone can be a glamorous vixen!  We are still holding hostage most of our results from our last shoot in February, but I have one great teaser photo to share as we promote the next party coming to you THIS SATURDAY!

The best part?  A very rare opportunity -- this even it totally FREE!  No appointment necessary!  Shoots and makeovers are on a first come, first serve basis.  And if you like the results from your shoot (which trust us, you will), images can be purchased at a very special limited event pricing!  This will be a "mini" version of the shoot, but there is still plenty of fun treats and surprises to be had!

Please join us Saturday, April 9th from 10am - 7pm at The 900 Shops on the 5th floor (900 N. Michigan Avenue) for all these perks and more:

*pin-up hair 'dos by Mario Tricoci Salon
*Makeup touch-up plus tips & tricks from Benefit Cosmetics
*mini photo shoot w/ Maypole Studios 
*Wardrobe provided by Dottie's Delights (and Audey dresses for the lingerie photo-timid)
*Dazzling hair accessories will be available from the new line of Love, Lulu Mae exclusively for Dottie's Delights -- The Glamourette Collection!
*Booze-infused cupcakes served pin-up style by the gorgeous "labettes" from Sweet Vee's Laboratory

*All issues of Retro Lovely magazine will be on sale and available for pin-up inspiration!
*Lots of great props to set the mood, including THE MOST AMAZING PINK HEART SHAPED TANDEM BICYCLE WILL BE AVAILABLE TO SHOOT WITH.  THERE ARE ONLY 10 IN THE WORLD, ONLY 2 IN THE U.S.!  
When you see it, you will be glad you did not miss this.

We will not only have the Lily Collection available for purchase, but we will also have past collections and special sparkle pieces available to special order and to play with in your shoot!

Valentine's Pin-Up Photo Shoot Event!

I am soo excited to finally be able to announce a fabulous event that I have been dreaming of for ages!  It just so happens we were able to pull it off just in time for Valentine's Day with some amazing sponsors to boot!

We are partnering up with Benefit Cosmetics to take over the entire 9th floor event space at Macy's on State Street and we are going BIG!

In celebration of the Lily Collection, my official debut collection which is coming out this spring,  we are putting together 3 different classic pin-up vignettes and transforming guests head-to-toe with luxury pin-up glamour for your very own professional fashion photoshoot!  One vignette to suit every personality:  the ultra girlie all pink set, the Bettie Page inspired "bad girl" scene, and the more classic elegance boudoir set (think natural sexy getting ready in the mirror of your vanity style)!

This is open to everyone, we are a super sweet all girl team and will make you look your best in a warm and welcoming environment!  No modeling experience necessary!  *But* if you ARE interested in modeling, you are more than welcome to sign one of our model releases and we would love to post your photos with appreciation and/or submit to publication with pin-up magazines!  Otherwise, those photos are for your eyes only (or at least only the ones *you* chose to share with, feisty lady!)

There are so many extra goodies and perks to this event, I hardly know where to begin!
