Pin Up's for Patriots... SUCCESS!!

Wow, what a great time was had at our first annual Pin-Ups for Patriots! Imagine- 56 women, two days, four hair and makeup artists, one photographer, and two pin-up models to coach and dress. WOAH. Sue Altenburg of Altenburg Studio was the brainchild of this fundraiser, who's goal was to raise $5,000 for the U.S. Vets chapter here in Las Vegas. So, how did we do? $6,500, and COUNTING!!!!  Hair and Makeup by Amelia C & Co, LLC.

Pin Ups for Patriots!

Ever wanted to be a pin-up? NOW'S YOUR CHANCE!

Pin-Up Shoot

**OK, I ADMIT, I'm back-peddaling here. I started this post and for whatever reason, forgot I had to upload more photo's. So here I am, finally, getting to it! This was in Spring! But, still saucy just the same**

Where do you go when you want to take the best pin-up photo's ever?

The middle of nowehere. Of course.

This is the plan that Sue and I hatched after deciding... what exactly we decided was I'm still not sure, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. And, unlike most idea's that "seem like a good idea at the time", this one actually was. Which is exactly how we found ourselves driving to a ghost town about 45 minutes outside of Las Vegas on a hot and dusty Sunday afternoon.

We started at the studio, because being the spoiled makeup artist that I am, I was gonna do most of the work in a well-lit space with running water. Here's pin-up model Tiffany Rose Thomas pre- and post- transformation.



This is Angela, our wonderful, pretty friend who offered her services for our project!


And of course, here are the spoils of our labor! Between posing and changing we had to watch for rattlesnakes, scorpions, and "jumping cactus", but as you can see, it was more than worth it!
