PinUpHelsinki® featuring Belle Modeste loves Fredator

Dreamer by PinUpHelsinki from Jirina Alanko on Vimeo.

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!

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).

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.

PinUpHelsinki featuring Varusteleka!

The most stylish pin-up studio in Finland, PinUpHelsinki, and the best army store Varusteleka did something wonderful together! 

I did the hair and styling, Miia Magia did the make-up and Saara Salmi took the photos. The army stuff is ofcourse from Varusteleka and the models too. All the wonderful corsets are from Belle Modeste.

(But guess whos behind is on the cover.. ;)

xxx noir party

Vitaminwater launched a new drink, xxx noir and invited me and some of my friends to the party. The dresscode was xxx. I was wearing a Fiona Timantti hat, a see through dress (fleamarket find), black bra, black vintage 50's girdle, black belt, seamed stockings and super high heels.

The dress was really see through.

p.s. It may seem that my life is one continuous party, but i can assure you it's not. I work almost every day of the week, but it might be boring to post pictures of me attaching diamonds etc. Besides, i work alone at my atelier at the moments, so there is no-one to take pictures of me working...

p.p.s. I made yet another Treasury List! I might make a whole series..This one is called Green With Envy.
