We caught up with model extraordinaire @cherry_belle_pinup for a quick Q & A! Here's what she had to say:

GGR asks:

"Having been in the pinup/burlesque modeling scene for some time now, what do you think is the biggest way your style/personality has evolved, and do you have any advice for aspiring models?"

She says:

"Over the past ten years, my style has grown up, just like I have. My style has become more personalized as I have learned that not all pinup pieces/looks suit me, and now I have an easier time picking out the clothing that flatters my figure.

The best advice that I can give an aspiring model, or anyone for that matter, is to stay humble. Humility is beautiful. There is always more to learn and ways to grow. Believe in yourself and live confidently, but don't ever be tricked into thinking that you are better than the lady who just booked her very first shoot."

Sister Rosetta Tharpe is the epitome of amazing grace—ah, yes, how sweet the sound! This astounding woman, often referred to as the Godmother of rock-and-roll, was profoundly influential in twentieth-century music. Only in the last few years has she received the attention and acknowledgment she deserved, nearly 50 years after her death. And still, many people have no idea who she was.

Her voice was incredibly powerful, and her artistry and skill with the newly electrified guitar was astonishing. Sister Rosetta displayed great showmanship and flamboyance on the instrument in a time when women just didn't play the guitar. When she was compared to male guitarists of her day, often given the back-handed compliment that she could “play like a man,” her response was—“Can't no man play like me. I play better than a man.” She pioneered many guitar techniques and was profoundly influential in the development of blues, rock-and-roll, and rockabilly.

In 1944 with the release of “Strange Things Happening Every Day,” she single-handedly brought gospel music into mainstream popularity when the song became the first gospel to ever make Billboard’s Harlem Hit Parade chart. It is often considered to be the very first rock song, EVER!
