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!

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!

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!)

Mosh and Viva Van Story

I am definitely not the first to say it, but when Mosh and Viva Van Story pair up on a photoshoot, they just simply cannot be beat!  A dream team for sure, and this time I was lucky enough to have a piece involved!  This scandalous little number is actually a design dreamed up by Mosh herself...and being as she has been such a sweetheart to me and a doll to work with, I was more than happy to oblige in lending a hand to make this piece come true!  We are in the works of possibly making this piece available exclusively through her site, so keep an eye out and in the meantime, make sure to sign up to see oh so many more amazing photos of this beautiful dame! 

Photographer: Viva Van Story

Model: Mosh

Hairstylist: Pin Me Up Hair

If you would like to see more of just how fabulous these forces combine (plus much more), definitely check out Viva's new book:

Sigh.  Lots of other updates to make, including all the fun from the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend (sooo goood!), events in California and Chicago in July, and more but that will be for another day.  I have work to do!   XOXO

Barbie Suite with Masuimi Max? Yes, please!

 

Yippee!  Round one of the Barbie Suite photos are here!  I was fortunate enough to work once again with Mitzi & Co. photography, this time with the adorably charming Masuimi Max modeling, looking as bombshell-tastic as ever.  Of course I was already super excited to be working with such fabulously talented women, but I was even more pleasantly surprised to find out how sweet and goofy Masuimi is, as well as the entire crew and everyone else invovled!  So fun!  You can check out more photos on the Dottie's Delights fan page, or the complete set on Masuimi's official website iamtrouble.com  Enjoy! ;)

Vegas Barbie Shoot!

Another really cool event I will be participating while at Viva Las Vegas: The Ultimate Photo Shoot Experience with Mitzi & Co.!  They have the amazing Barbie Suite at the Palms, and are booking appointments for Friday, April 2nd and Sunday April 4th!  Behold all of the glory:

 

  

  

Can you imagine all the fantasticness that Mitzi will be able to produce in this setting?  I think I will go into sensory overload here.  Not only do you receive the best set of photos you've ever taken, you are also pampered to the extreme -- a CUSTOM MADE Barbie-style outfit (made by yours truly, or several other designers if you're not feeling in a lingerie mood), yours to KEEP!  As well as perfect pin-up hair and make-up by Miss Rockwell DeVil and Chris Colucci, several wardrobe changes with plenty of stock to choose from, food and beverages, and a Mitzi & Co. goodie bag full of delightfulness!  You will never feel more glamorous.  I believe there are still a few spots open, but they may already be fully booked, so if you are interested you'd better move fast and see if she can squeeze you in!  :)

Take one guess as to which outfit I am most excited to be contributing to this extravaganza.....(answers and photos to be included following the event)

You should also look for her on Myspace for the most up to minute updates!

Part Two

I finally got a chance to finish up editing the second set from my shoot with Mitzi and Mosh!  There was a grand pink damask stuffed chair in the scene, but I think because of my urgency to get to the airport and scrambling around not paying attention to the shoot, I rushed this part a bit too much.  Thus most of those photos with the chair are in, er, various states of undress (which -- I am just guessing -- but may be going up on Mosh's official site) and not as usuable for me.  I am SUCH a sucker for pink and green!  It will be a major color combination staple in my upcoming line of lingerie.  Ah well, it is a good thing I was working with such talented people, because the photos with the simple mint green walls worked just fine!  Enjoy!
