As of right now Persephone’s Pinup will be taking a short hiatus. As of late I’ve been feeling incredibly scattered; I’ve just been slapping posts up without a purpose, and as my reader/audience I wish to provide quality content. I’ll be taking some time to finish up some certifications, along with updating my blog site. For those I am collaborating with, and those who wish to collaborate I will still be available through DM & email. I expect to be back by the end of July/ start of August!!! I truly appreciate everyone’s support. Thank you for your patience during this time. 💜 . . . . #hittingresetbutton #persephonespinup #persephonespinupphotography #walnutcreekpinups #walnutcreekpinupblogger #californiapinup #californiapinupgirl #pinupfashionblogger #pinupphotography #retroblogger #retrofashionblogger #historyblogger #fashionhistoryblogger #pinupblog #historyissexy #hiatus #brainstorming (at Walnut Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzfHfQNAWIP/?igshid=23itlzn0s183

Four months go by in the blink of an eye! Wow, everyday I wake up elated to be this man’s wife!!! My heart soars every time I hear him call my name. This man has been my rock when life has been tough. He’s stood by me while I am recovering from my brain injury. Doing whatever it takes so we can have a roof over our heads. I fall in love with him more, and more, every moment of everyday. Marriage isn’t all butterflies and rainbows, as everyone told me takes work; but it’s worth it!! I am so lucky, and grateful that he is in my life. @guinnesssb you are the man of my dreams, and the love of my life! Thank you for all that you do for our small family. I love you! #ifoundmyfairytale . . . . #hesmybestfriend #hesmyprince #hesmyperson❤️ #thatboyismine #lookintohiseyesandtheskysthelimit #helpless #downforthecountandimdrownininem #foreverandalways❤️ #pinupinlove #santabarbarawedding #vintagekindoflove #hesmyfish #gofindyourownfish #oldschoollove❤️ #retrocouple #weddingsfortwosb #santabarbaracourthousewedding #soinlovewithhim #princecharming #theweddingisjustthebeginning #blackandwhitephotography . .

I’m sorry I haven’t been posting much as of late!!! I had surprise dental surgery last Thursday and have been in awful pain. If I’m not sleeping, I’m reading, and trying to come up with next months content as I “hopefully” go back to work July 2nd!!! • • On another note, I absolutely love #philippagregorynovels. As a history nerd and a fiction lover it fills my heart with joy to read her books. I know they aren’t historically accurate, however, as with movies for others, it give me the opportunity to live in a state of suspension of disbelief! Anyways, how many of you have watched @thespanishprincessstarz which is partially based off of “The Constant Princess”? And what did you think of this weeks episode (no spoilers please)!? . . . . #historyissexy #nerdypinup #sexyhistory #sexyhistorynerd #theconstantprincess #philippagregory #tudorengland #houseofyork #houseoflancaster #thewhiteandredrose #fashionhistoryblogger #historyblogger #historyblog #tudorhistorynerd #henrytheviii #catherineofaragon #thespanishprincess #royalhistory #englishhistorynerd #16thcenturyengland #vintageblogger #pinupstyleblogger #paintmelikeholbein #nerdygirlsdoitbetter #historicalfiction #ismyinnernerdshowing #pinupmodel #talkhistorytome #persephonespinup (at Walnut Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzKQrnjAYNe/?igshid=xo927t8fra4u

I try not to bash apps used for learning, unfortunately I don’t want to see anyone else ripped off by @Shawacademy. I was offered a free trial through them for a diploma in photography; I started the first lesson today where I learned there were five modules needed to complete the course...I was only taking module one...and I’d have to pay for the other four to finish. In the app it shows I’m taking the “diploma is photography course” online it shows I’m only taking module one. The advertisement I was shown showed “Diploma in Photography”. This is false advertising at its finest!!! DO NOT USE @ShawAcademy for ANY OF YOUR EDUCATIONAL NEEDS! THEY ARE A RIP OFF!!!! . . . . #photography #photographystudents #photographystudentsunite #shawacademy #shawacademyphotography #falseadvertising #liars #ripoff #donotuseshawacademy #tryingtostealmymoney #notworthyourtime #betterwaystogetcertified #theylied (at Walnut Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzEBoJggqf_/?igshid=1h6ekhd8ys7lx

If you can’t tell from the picture I am in the process of getting a tooth fixed (dental work is expensive)! I’ve been working hard to hide it because the shitty committee in my head likes to tell me that if my teeth aren’t perfect I’m not worthy! Idk why...so here’s the backstory... • • I’ve always been self conscious about my mouth and teeth. In second grade I had the lovely experience of eating asphalt, and a tether ball pole one day at recess(#onlygracefulwhendancing). This landed me in the ER with 30 stitches on the right side of my lip, a cracked front tooth, and another damaged tooth. We all agreed (my parents and the dentist, I was 8) that we shouldn’t mess with that tooth until I got older, and only if a problem showed up. If you look carefully at the lower, right corner you can see the scar on my lip. Well, now I am 23, and one day I was eating a lovely bowl of cereal when my tooth decided it was time to disintegrate. I do have a flip to hide it, but it’s terribly uncomfortable to wear. Also, anything dealing with my mouth/head/neck really affects my brain injury/surrounding areas. I have decided to conquer my fear since I know it will be fixed soon. Although, if you see me smiling closed lipped now you know why! . . . . . #iwishthetoothfairystillcametome #selflove #itwillbefixed #itwillbefixedsoon #imperfections #selfacceptance #perfectlyimperfect #vintagelifestyle #vintagegirl #pinupmodel #pinuplifestyle #mytoothbroke #facingmyfears #pinupdown #imnotperfectandthatsok #embracingflaws #imafraidofthedentist #storytime #walnutcreekpinup #walnutcreekpinups #californiapinup #californiapinupgirl #californiapinups #californiapinups #embracinglife #selfgrowth🌱 (at Walnut Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByoMcv5gRbS/?igshid=10im4ivqaykyy

Late night post of the day: recently I’ve been working through a heavy amount of fear, and self judgement. I have found myself back in a bad habit of comparing myself to other women; a terrible social habit women are taught from a young age. I believe that one of the best ways of conquering these internal thoughts is to out oneself. As it holds us accountable for these thoughts, and helps us work through them. Tell me what has been one limiting thought of yours below, along with what your first step is to conquering it! My first step is acknowledging that I’ve been feeling “less than” lately. . . . #pinupthoughts #nightlychats #nightlychat #selfcare #selflove #selfgrowthjourney #selfgrowth🌱 #pinupwithaplan #deepthought #walnutcreekpinup #californiapinup #californiapinupgirl #conqueringfears #interospection #getcomfortablebeinguncomfortable #creativegrowth #braininjuryrecovery #beautyandbrains📚 #persephonespinup #persephonegodessofselfcare #innerstrength #vintageblogger #vintagebloggers #retroblogger #pinupblog #pinupblogger #blooming #blossoming (at Walnut Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByR0IPoA80i/?igshid=119i0vf67pk16

As I’m starting a new chapter in my Pinup journey, I thought it would be good time to reflect on how I start! • • My journey into the world of pinup started when I was 12 years old. I have always been incredibly passionate about historical fashion, and women’s history; especially the silver/golden age of Hollywood (30’s-60’s)! The glamours clothing, hair, makeup. Women taking their style into their own hands during a period of depression, using it to empower themselves, savoring their femininity. The more I learned, the more I fell in love with the style.
As that passion grew, I was slowly discovering the photography side of the pinup world, having taken multiple photography classes in high school; I always loved the film median. I was discovering the greats such as Bettie Paige, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Rita Hayworth, so on and so forth! I was sold!! I NEEDED to go from behind the camera to in front of it. I so badly wanted to be these women- flooring all this who crossed my pathed. Becoming the ever loved femme-fatal!!
Since I could’t do a pin-up styled shoot until I was 18, from ages 16 to 17 I started planning, building my wardrobe so that when I turned 18, I would be ready to shoot! Finally the day arrived, and I fell in love with the camera! I can’t believe it’s been 10yrs since I started learning, 5yrs since my first shoot, and a year since I started my blog!!! I’m excited to see where this road takes me!!! . . . . #pinup #pinupgirl #pinupinspired #pinupgirlinspired #womenownedbusiness #pinupblog #pinupblogger #pinupfashionblogger #pinupfashionmodel #pinupfashionblog #vintageblogger #vintagebloggers #vintagefashion #20thcentury #20thcenturyfashionhistory #pinuplife #walnutcreekpinupmodel #walnutcreekpinup #walnutcreekpinups #californiapinup #californiapinupgirl #1940spinup #historyblogger #fashionhistoryblogger #fashionhistoryisfun #pinupphotography #retrophotography #vintagelife #vintageblogger #vintagefashion #vintagebloggers #historyissexy #aliasjosie #alloriawinterphotography (at Walnut Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByOSZGwg_SX/?igshid=1s3qd94lov3ph
