Okay so I'm not a legit pinup but I do adore the style and I do dress as though I'm from that era because well, the way they dressed back then was sexy without being too revealing. You know when you're at that awkward age in life where you don't know how to dress? Yeah, that was exactly when I started incorporating the fifties style into the way I dressed and fast-forward 7 years...here I am now. Living life as though it's 1956. But with internet access and phones of course.
Naturally, no matter what you wear in this day and age, you're not getting through your day unscathed. The constant questioning, the awkward stares that linger for a tad too long. Yeaaah. You know what I'm talking about. Which brings me to my first pinup problem.
Pinup Problem #1: THE STARES!
I don't know about you but I despise it when a person stares. It's rude and it just makes me downright uncomfortable. This gif is an accurate representation of how I react to people who stare.
Pinup Problem #2: Everyone wants to touch your hair
Is this not the truth? The amount of work and product that goes into my hair is insane, I'll admit that much. Also, I don't mean to sound rude and I'm flattered that you find my hair unreal but still, no touching the artwork please. Thanks.
Pinup Problem #3: Your nickname is ALWAYS Marilyn
I mean yes, Marilyn was definitely one of the most beautiful women to ever exist but not all of us aspire to be like her. Some of us, myself included would much prefer to look like someone such as Lauren Bacall.
Beautiful yet intimidating. YES.
Pinup Problem #4: Being considered "Overdressed".
I cannot help that I wear high waist shorts and cute flats just to go the grocery store a few blocks from my house. It's a lifestyle, not a trend. *Flips pincurled hair*
What else have you experienced that you would like to add to this list? Leave me a comment!
