Ask a Pinup: Melissa Paris

We caught up with rockin' modern pinup Melissa Paris for a quick Q & A! Here's what she had to say!


GGR asks: 

"Let's talk body confidence! What is your best advice to really rock your curves in all your retro clothes?"


She says: 

"I’m a voluptuous lady, there’s no denying that! My measurements are 42, 34, 52. Yes 52 inches of HIPS! And a question that I get from other women in all shapes and sizes is, 'Where do you get your body confidence?' 
 

There is no short answer to this question, but here’s a few things I’ve learned along the way:  

  • I stopped looking at other bodies and comparing them to my body. All bodies are different, and that’s what makes them special and beautiful!  
  • I identified what I LOVE about my own body: I have a small waist for my frame, so I accentuate it! Full circle skirts, petticoats, high waisted pants, and high waisted skirts!
  • I accept who I am RIGHT NOW. Not tomorrow, not three years ago, Today. You have your whole life to rock that body! Take care of it and put some sexy clothes on it!!!"

Lovely advice from a stunning lady!! 🤩 If you would like to be featured in our "Ask a Pinup" series, please email us for details.

Early Feminism & Women's Suffrage in America

In honor of International Women's Day, we'd like to highlight the excellent interactive Timeline of Woman Sufferage put together by the National Women's History Museum.


It begins with the 1848 Declaration of Sentiments, a document written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton after she and Lucretia Mott were barred from the attending the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London in 1840. From the beginning, the movement for votes for women was part and parcel of a larger movement for civil rights.


Even after women officially gained the right to vote with the 19th Amendment, restrictions such as poll taxes and citizenship requirements kept many women away from the ballot box for nearly another half-century - especially women of color.
