Photo magic with Jirina Alanko

Jirina did it again...she sees me beautifully! And i like the subtle way she uses photoshop, i don't want to look like plastic.

I'm so happy, it's finished! :)

Here's little something we've been working on with team PinUpHelsinki®! We made this video to celebrate our collaboration with the best corset makers in Helsinki, Belle Modeste! Superb craftsmanship and passion for the art of curves!

The tune on this video is by non other than the surprising, fresh super combo of talented musicians, one of the hottest names in the field of jazz in Finland, Fredator!

Our photographer Jirina who shot and edited this video is quite something!

PinUpHelsinki® featuring Belle Modeste video coming soon!

Trashionistas transformation to a Pin-up girl by PinUpHelsinki®

A fellow blogger and friend Outi Pyy came to experience her day as a pin-up girl. I think we at PinUpHelsinki did a fairly good job. What do you think? Read the whole story in Outis blog (in finnish).

PinUpHelsinki® has a wonderful new photographer!

My friend, the fortune telling witch Saana and me by photographer Kerttu Malinen

The Mistress of Horror, the Glamour Ghoul, Vampira! A.k.a. Maila Nurmi, from Finland! She was so amazing and so ahead of her time.

PinUpHelsinki likes boys too!

Our PinUpHelsinki project is also suitable for guys! Here's Tatu who gave this picture for his wife as a surprise present.

Few of my favourites from the Varusteleka pin-up calendar

These are some of my favourites, though i think all the girls look great! They did a swell job, some of them had no modeling experiece what so ever. It was fun to create the looks combining army stuff and pieces from my vintage collection.

The perfect x-mas present

Sometimes it's very hard to find a perfect present for that special someone... Why, here it is! If you are looking for a gift for you husband/boyfriend/girlfriend. Or maybe you would like to offer a day as a pin-up girl for your girl/friend/mother? 

Have you been naughty or nice? Doesn't matter, this gift is good for both!
