The Pin up Edition

So here it is! I promised you a pin up and the time has come to make good on that promise.

I worked long and hard on this one!

There were lots of photos of me in different poses that I pulled from to create this special portrait.

Here is the sketch. I filled in the skin areas first.

The finished product in colored pencil.

Valentine's Day was excellent!

That swet man sent me flowers at work and handed me this delicious work of art later..the Chocolate box full of, you guessed it, chocolates!!

Then we went dancing!! Then, a couple of days later we went to the dance flurry in Saratoga Springs!! A full weekend of dance!

Happy girl!

Gone to the Sockhop!

Hey peeps! I went to a sockhop last weekend! The flower in my hair was handmade by yours truly- isn't it perfect?! I hope you love my pin-up style ;)

This was actually me at the end of the evening. As you can see, my curls wore off so I pinned them up so I could keep dancing in style! LOL.

They insisted that I do this...Coca Cola need a new model?

We danced my feet into oblivion from 7 to at least 2AM!! haha, my feet were beyond sore the next morning. People loved watching us swing dance, though, and I love to entertain!

 I even won a pair of movie passes for my look :) That was super exciting--I never win anything can no longer be in my phrase book!

We went to a bar afterward and kept dancing! Apparently, Swing/Lindy can be done to just about any kind of music including rap and disco!! Woot!

I even got to be a Beatle!! Can you tell me which one?

My date for the evening. He drove two hours just to take me dancing! What a guy!
