#Reglam @theblackpinup • “A few vids to commemorate my day when I shot with one of my favorite photographers….@EllenVonUnwerth! For you to get an idea of how important this day was for me continue reading ?… I began modeling decades ago, believing that I would eventually get to model in advertisements/commercials/print ads/fashion show in the #ClassicHollywood #PinupStyle.After many years of modeling I would often see the #1940s and #1950s style often revamped for modern fashion shows and advertisements, but I would also observe the same image being repeated…THE LACK OF USING #BlackWomen in this style. So I was never called in for castings or to do jobs in this style ?? Hello?!?!? Beautiful Black women existed in America (and worldwide ?) prior to the existence of visual media! But thanks to good old fashion racism, discrimination, and more ??the manufactured ideals of #BeautyStandards chose to practically exclude adoration and acknowledgment of black women (especially those with dark skin ) as examples of #beauty. As a result, of the lack of representation, I began sharing my photos in 2011, after having already waited more than a decade to be used as a model for #OldHollywood styled jobs. #EllenVonUnwerth is one of the photographers who’s work I admired for many years because she shot photos that embodied beauty, playful, and sometimes naughty images reminiscent of the spirit of Pinups in 40s and 50s. I was greatly disappointed that I missed out on meeting her when she attended the last 2 years of #VivaLasVegasRockabillyWeekendthat I had not attended. So this third year of her attendance was a charm! I received a text the day I arrived at Viva asking my availability (thanks @_MissMiranda for giving my info?). Friday I asked @DitaVonTeesefor a few sets of lingerie, and she came through! All the stars aligned to make this moment happen! Now I am eagerly awaiting to see the images!!! Thank you @EllenVonUnwerth! Thank you @DitaVonteeseLingerie! Thank you Universe ???” #VLV2019#Viva #EllenVonUnwerth #DVT#DitaVonTeeseLingerie#✨#madameX
