Retro-Cute from Start to Finish, July 20 2010

This review is from: How to be a Pinup Model - Release your Inner Bombshell! (DVD)
Keeping in mind this is pure-retro, I loved how meandering the pace was. It's not mtv-flash editing. It's, honestly, very fifties. Makeup, hair, and cheesecake-posing; exactly what the video promises. I loved the hairstyle secion the most. They do an entire hair set, and then when she is combing the set out, it's real-time and I got the sense of the fifties, no cellphones, no rush, pretty night-table, sweet smiles. I felt like I was at a sleep-over and we were doing our hair in Grease. I adored the big hair-rolls they demo'd. These two women fully embrace the fifties lifestyle. And they portray a sexy-lady without apology. The make-up section was a bit long in the tooth, but great for beginners. The posing section was really nice and encouraging too. It's very girls-night-out-with-class and the production value, tho simple, was just right; great, authentic 50s set-dressing, good audio, and most of all inspirational. If you like the fifties and want to try your hand (gams?) at cheesecake photos, or even just want to investigate the fifties look - and outlook - this is a comforting, stylish & feminine place to get started.

Okay for beginners, Mar 18 2011
By Miss Hayworth - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to be a Pinup Model - Release your Inner Bombshell! (DVD)
I wish I could say I loved this more because it has everything you would need to start being a vintage pinup.I bought this hoping that I could have a fun thing to share with my girlfriends during a sleepover or even save for a bachelorette party, etc.
I've had my nose buried in books, video tutorials, and movies about vintage pinups for a long long time, and when I finally saw this dvd, I was a little disappointed.
While it is kitschy and cute, it also looks a little sloppy. Personally, I think it needs to be edited better because I found myself bored and fastforwarding through a lot of it.
The makeup section had some nice tips for long-lasting wear (like powdering your lipstick after blotting, and then reapplying) but you could see where the makeup was just badly done. The lipstick got smudged here and there, and the eyeliner was a little messy. To be honest, I've seen better makeup videos on youtube.
As far as the hair goes, it was okay. I highly recommend anyone looking for good vintage hairstyles to either check out some books on here or go to youtube and check out [...] who does fabulous hairdo's.
The part about the way to pose was refreshing, as I didnt know about the way you can hide or accentuate the body by just turning slightly at an angle.
Like I said, I wish with all my heart that I could have liked this more, but was sadly disappointed.

Move Over Betty Grable...Here Comes...Me!, Aug 10 2010
By Alejandra Vernon "artist & illustrator" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to be a Pinup Model - Release your Inner Bombshell! (DVD)
Bettina May and Go-Go Amy are a simply delightful duo. They are perfect vintage models with an updated twist. Both absolutely gorgeous and with flaming red hair, Go-Go Amy also has jet black highlights in her hair (stunning when hanging down in ringlets) and sports some nifty tattoos.They give you excellent tips, and modern techniques to achieve the vintage "pin-up" look. The makeup is really quite simple, and one you'll need to learn if you want to be an actress or dancer (retro is so "In"!) or just have fun at your next party. The bright red of course is the way to go, on lips and fingernails. Most important of all, are the cat eyes! May demonstrates on Bettina the easiest way to get the "cat eye" line beyond your eye lids, and how to apply those stunning false eyelashes.
The posing section is humorous and instructive, and the duo shows us how to make the most of our assets. I love the "vowel" smiles and expressions, and now I know the trick of why the pin-up girls looked so good kneeling back on their heels. It's quite a little secret! (you have to have strong thigh muscles...and sit up a couple of inches from your heels, so the flab on the back of your thighs doesn't spill over, and your thigh muscles look long and lean!).
This is a very cute and instructive DVD from these 2 delightful glamour gals. You'll enjoy every second of its 80 minute length.
Listmania!
