My Dear Pinup Lovers,


It’s been two and a half years since I started The Pinup Shop and The Pinup Blog, and without a doubt it’s been an incredible journey. I’d love to be sure of myself and assuring, and say “I’ve reached the journey’s end and arrived at my destination”, but life is more miraculous than that, and what seems to be the end of this path, is just the beginning of another.


While my life has changed very dramatically, in the past year, I found that it’s very possible to merge my love for pinups and my other interests. Pinups aren’t just a pretty face, and despite what the art form seems to be at face value, I’ve learned it can be read and understood in many ways. Viewing politics, feminism and moral issues through pop culture gave me a whole new perspective on the world around me, and I can only hope you found it as fascinating as I did.


That said, I’ve found that lately my heart is asking for something else. And though I can’t say what it is yet, there are only so many hours in a day. The time | put into The Pinup Blog and The Pinup Shop doesn’t allow me to search for this something. It’s for this reason, for the time being, I have to stop working on the blog and the art, and begin working on something else. I don’t know if I’ll come back to work on the pinup project, but I don’t want to throw away all that I’ve done and love, and I know that many others love as well. So I leave both the blog and shop online, for your pinup pleasure, and hope you visit my other online gallery (there’s lots of non-pinup sexy ladies to see ).



Kisses to all of you,

The lovely Christina Jeter (aka “Christina Chaos”, aka “Meyer Lansky&rdquo is a model, who recently dabbled in pinup modeling, with the help of Kayla Tall and Angela Rivera of The Pin up Punk, with interesting results. Diversifying the pinup world even further in a twist between Africa, the USA and the Far East (!).

FlashParade is a magnificent artist, who does a lot of what can be easily classified cartoon pinup art. The artist’s cute subjects are very feminine and dynamic, and loads of fun. Good art and good pinup. Enjoy!

Over two years of The Pinup Blog and, surprisingly enough, we’ve yet to touch on a very pinup-esque theme: The zodiac.

Women as allegory came up in last week’s post. Today is all allegory with Zodiac Pinups. Though traditionally woman have been used in the images of the Virgo sign and often Aquarius, this week, we’ll be focusing on complete series of women as zodiac signs.
