Congratulations to our June Pin Up of the Month, Staci Louise.
Staci Louise is a pinup model and makeup artist living in sunny Santa Monica, California! She started out modeling as a hair model, mostly avant-garde looks, until 2010 when she decided to embrace her love for retro fashion. Staci began studying and performing burlesque, and became a part of the growing modern pinup community. Since then she has won 2 pinup pageants, been featured in Retro Lovely Magazine, and received a whole lotta love and support from the retro lifestyle community.

Favorite piece of Lingerie: "I LOVE seamed stockings! That little peek of garters and seam up the leg is so sexy!"
Fun Fact: I always show my family my new photos and I get a kick out of their responses. I was kind of an awkward teenager growing up, and it took a long time to embrace being me. Now I'm the best at being me and I'm having a great time :D
Straight from Staci's Lips: "I hear women all the time say, ' I wish I could be a pinup girl,' and I think every woman IS a pinup girl. Glamour is just a creation. Modern pinup is about ditching the sweatpants and flip flops of ordinary life and embracing ultimate femininity. It's about putting on your lipstick, your highest heels, and working your curves. Being a woman is the most fun in the world!"
