We here at the thehepburnmovement strive to show the diversity of pinup/vintage culture every chance we get, to show that ANYONE and everyone can be a pinup regardless of your age, sexual orientation, or race. That despite the lack of representation in the media, we exist and are here to inspire others to step out into the spotlight. People from all kinds of nationalities and identities make up this community and we aim to show that with every post. We want to highlight the wide variety of pinup/vintage loving people because they come from all walks of life, and deserve to be seen. This weeks pinup is...

When did you get into the pinup life style?
I have always loved the pinup style since I was a young girl. I remember seeing Gil Elvgren paintings and thinking that they were so beautiful. It wasn't until I was an adult that I was able to make it happen. In 2014, I decided that I would make a calendar for my husband. I went to Vavoom Pinups and had the best time of my life. They gave me a makeover, styled my hair, and helped me with posing. I have been hooked ever since.
Who is your biggest style inspiration?
There are so many lovely women who have paved the way. It is so difficult to choose just one. I will say that growing up I always loved to see Old Hollywood Stars. I didn't watch as many classic movies as I do now, but I do remember seeing Dorothy Dandridge for the first time and thinking that she was so beautiful. I loved the way she dressed and always wanted to dress that way myself. I also loved when I saw the Supremes on TV. I thought that they always looked so elegant. I would imagine myself being on stage and performing with them.
How does it feel to be a minority in the pinup community?
I really don't think about it much to be honest. I dress this way because it is what I love to do. I think that everyone including minorities should always do what they love and wear what they want. I will say that it makes me very happy to see that so many people are starting to embrace this style and are more comfortable wearing what they love. I will admit that I am guilty of thinking that
