Vanities by Michael Elins
isn't this the cutest picture of Paula Patton - such a beauty!
We just can't help but post more adorable pinup pictures! It's an addiction! We love it!
We especially love the work of photographer Michael Elins, who is probably best known for his 'vanities' portraits in Vanity Fair. It looks like these fresh-faced models/actresses stepped out of a Vargas painting. The look of these pinup portraits is really a reflection of the styles we are seeing in lingerie/swimwear right now; retro styles, high-waist briefs, garter belts...just like the Christian Dior runway show we posted yesterday.
You can see the rest of his portfolio here.

I love all these pictures! So sexy and glam.
The Vanities are my favorite part of Vanity Fair. My very favorite is one of Isla Fisher in this fuzzy pink sweater, she reminds me of Gidget in that pose. Great post!
Such gorgeous pictures! :)

Whenever I see such gorgeous pin-up pictures, I curse myself for not having an hour-glass figure and an innate ability to rock engine-red lipstick!!!
Thanks for sharing...love the pictures :)
I don't think I can ever get enough of retro pin up style lingerie!!

Bonjour Mademoiselle Frou-Fou, vous avez un blog magnifique, tres sexy.
I am so glad you dropped by my cottage. I too got a peak at yours and I love it love it love it. Your blog is gorgeous. I have to say half way through the blog, I returned my ice cream dish to the kitchen, those photos my God!! I will return this weekend to go over all your current and archived posts. Your store in located in a city that I will be visiting on my holiday next month. I will be sure to stop by and say hello. There was a store in that area called Ivy and another across the street from Ivy a sort of Shabby Chic store that I adored on my last visit, I am not sure if they are still in business or not. And look at all the followers you have. I am new at blogging, only 3 months, so a number like yours, 200+ is unbelievable to me. Please stop by my cottage again, I will love to see you there and next time, if you have a moment please join my charming followers. I have already joined your followers and have placed a link to your blog on mine.
Talk to you soon

I love those old-school pinup pictures! There is something very sexy about them, and even more sexy than if they were flashing thongs! LOL. There is definitely something to be said for less is more.
