Welcome to Pin-Up modeling! A semi-short adventure into the vintage world of Pin-Up!

As far as I know, I’ve only seen 1 other comp like this on this forum and since I’m feeling better I would like to do a comp like this myself.

This will be strictly a fashion competition consisting of editorial and fashion photography.

They will be 7 assignments! Most of these assignments will be taking their cues from the iconic looks of pin-ups, but you will be given a theme. These themes will be pretty simple, so don’t worry your pretty little head. Just be creative and bring your eye for fashion. If you can pull off these themes while still maintaining the pin-up look, you should be A-Okay! So get ready to pose and strut your stuff for Pin-Up Modeling!


Note: If this become super popular, I will do another cycle directly following this one.

Nobody knows…yet, but it’s time for you to earn those winnings by selling yourself to the masses. That’s right. I need you to do some advertisement. Some pin-up advertisement! Some of the most famous pin-up shots were ads and commercials before they were pinned up on walls as posters. Some ladies even became household names with their sexy selling shots. So it’s time for you to show me you can promote a brand and be a famous pin-up! Just work those pearly whites and flaunt those daisy dukes one last time, because this is it! Only one can win! Is it you?

    Requirements

    -Advertise a brand of your choice. It can be anything. (ex: soft drinks, candy, cars, a patriotic message, etc.)
    *Words, logos, etc. are allowed
    -Styling is up to you!
    -Bodyshot
    -Extras allowed, but make sure the model and product are the focus.
    -Any setting or background. Up to you.

    Ok lovelies! The finale is finally here and we're ready to crown our winner! Scores will be done a little different this round to keep up the suspense. Comments first in the order of your finale entries were turned in and then the scores revealing the winner of this thing!

    Before we get to that, I just wanted to say I was honored to critique and host an outlet for such talent. You all did a wonderful job throughout! It was extremely hard to judge this finale. If it was up to me, I would crown all three of you. lol So don't dismay if you didn't bag the top spot. You all deserve to be applauded for your beautiful photos! Thank you for gracing me with your talent! <3

    Also big thanks to our judges! Thank you Maggie for hanging in there even when the forum police didn't want you. lol Thank you Meeshelby for stepping in even when you were too busy. B/w feel better hun. Thank you both! I <3 guys so much!

    Ok no more rambling. Now for the comments and then the finale results! *plays dramatic music*


    Vi with Natalia Ivanov
    21769109946_33228a286f_o.png
    Oooo sexy! This ad really screams pin-up and it has that vintage vibe. While I’m not a fan of cigarettes in rl, this a really great ad and it sells the product. I do think you could have done more with the product as the ad/set is a little bear and plain. It helps me focus on your model, but it’s a lot of empty spots. As for your model, she’s a total babe and I love her outfit. I just can’t help, but focus on some of the quality issues going on with it. Like right on her bust and on her leg looks a little wonky. Other than that, I love the pose and the overall shot! You have been a worthy opponent for your competitors throughout this competition and you didn’t disappoint for me this round! Great work, Vi!

    21172556484_7ecfc9de43_o.png
    While I do not smoke, or like it, it DOES fit the era and you are advertising. Really here though, you don’t see the packaging, which makes the product hard to sell. I would have added a bigger box somewhere, or had a box standing on the table. Set is good, while plain, focuses on your HOT model. Good logo, just wished I could see more packaging and more WOW for a finale photo.

    21934309458_0f18194eb4_o.png
    Congrats on making it to the finale, Vi! You have done very well to get this far. For this final assignment, I felt you met all of the requirements perfectly. I wasn't completely wow'd by this final entry, however. The background is a bit bland. And there is a weird line, like some editing didn't match up on her chest. Also the table looks like its floating a bit above the floor. Your styling of your sim though was spot on! She is gorgeous!! Well done :)

    Tears with Maude Montgomery
    21769109946_33228a286f_o.png
    I so want to go to the beach after looking at this entry. It’s fun, stunning, and just plain awesome! Definitely a great ad! Your model is both adorable and sexy! I love her styling! They are some quality issues going on with the bathing suit right at the bust, but it’s not too bad. I also think you did pretty good job with placing your sim on the background considering some of the issues you had in previous shots. It’s not really much else to pick at really. It’s a beautiful shot that catches the eye instantly! It also makes you want the product and a nice trip to the beach. You did a phenomenal job! You have proven to be a strong competitor throughout and you definitely brought your A-game to the finale, Tears.

    21172556484_7ecfc9de43_o.png
    I Really like this entry! Fitting for a finale photo!! I feel like you added enough, without over do-ing it. I love the styling, and the setting, although the ‘real’ background quality is different than the sims quality, I didn’t take much off for it. I love the look on her face, and her sexy look!

    21934309458_0f18194eb4_o.png
    Tears you have continually done so well in this comp and completely deserve to be in the finale! This final assignment you turned in was gorgeous!! The absolute ONLY thing I was able to pick at was maybe you could have added some accessories/jewelry to her. Other than that, you are amazing!!

    Ina with Cara Lynn
    21769109946_33228a286f_o.png
    This is a pretty ad and photo! Your model is stunning and I love the color scheme. Is it spectacular? No. Just pretty and ok. I was expecting more from you with it being the finale. She just laying there on a flat background, which lacks dimension for her to be on an actual beach. I also think the choice of the product makes it a bit too safe too. Having her just wear a bathing suit and referring to it as the product is a little boring. Other than that, it’s pretty flawless technically and I can’t knock it too much as it is gorgeous. You have created some pretty amazing shots and it’s been wonderful to see your growth throughout. Lovely work, Ina!

    21172556484_7ecfc9de43_o.png
    I feel like you chose a very safe route, and it reflected in my scores. I know you could have chosen something different here, posing, setting, colors? Or maybe a different product entirely? I wasn’t “wow’d” this round, though Cara does look seductive, I think it was just too safe for a finale.

    21934309458_0f18194eb4_o.png
    Ina, your sim has been one of my favorites from this whole comp! She is so stunning! Unfortunately I can't play favorites as a judge...I must judge the same as everyone else! This last entry of yours is so beautiful and congrats on making it to the finale!! You met all the requirements perfectly! For the styling, I felt the only thing lacking was a bit of jewelry or accessories added. I love the nails though! Also I felt like it was a flat background and she was just stuck on front of it, instead of being part of the background. Perhaps a background that looked more 3D than flat would have helped. But other than that you did great!! Very well done!!







    So who's the winner?

    Is it Vi? Her photos are fantastic, but are they up to 1st place standards or will her mistakes be her downfall?

    Is it Tears? Crisp and stunning photos, but will quality issues yet again threaten her bid for 1st?

    Or is it Ina? A model with looks to kill, but did she play it too safe?


    Enough talking. Time to announce the winner of Pin-up Modeling Cycle 1! And the winnner is......

    Aw well 4 is a lot. Sign-ups might be open for awhile depending on how slow or fast this fills up in case one of those comps you're in ends soon. If this is really popular though and you miss your chance, I'll be doing a cycle 2 anyway. :#
