New Tiki pinup in Atomic Beauties’ 2026 Tiki & Tropical special edition!

Hallooooo everybody, it’s been awhile! My great Tiki-themed pinup images from November have have finally published in Atomic Beauties Tiki/Tropical Vol. 1 special edition issue! I’m the “Model Shoutout” feature for this issue. 🙂 

Marilee Caruso is the photographer and hair/makeup goddess for the shoot, which took place at the gorgeous Birds of Paradise Lounge home tiki bar.  

Thanks to Marilee, Birds of Paradise Lounge, and Johnny at Atomic Beauties for making these images a success!

Two fresh pinup publications for my 50th birthday: Atomic Beauties “Bathing Cuties” special issue and this month’s Bombshell!

For my big birthday, Marilee Caruso and I shot a couple of cute sets at our favorite mid century central-coast California hotel. We created some cute 1960s-inspired images in our suite’s pink bathroom and some glamour-gown photos in the main areas of the room.

The room, like all the suites at the hotel, has a name – “Old Fashioned Honeymoon” – and features decor based firmly in the nostalgic Victorian craze of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The pink bathroom shots – which found a home in this month’s “Bathing Cuties” special edition by Atomic Beauties magazine – are probably my favorite. I found a 60s-ish pink babydoll set at Adoreme with a giant pink satin bow at the bust and bought a pink velvet bow from Vixen by Micheline Pitt to match.

Blue Velvet cosplay images in Atomic Beauties David Lynch special edition!

I’m proud to announce that my Dorothy Vallens cosplay images, inspired by the David Lynch film Blue Velvet, appear in the new Atomic Beauties David Lynch memorial special edition! We even got a cover!

The photos, makeup, wig styling, and lighting are all by the fabulous Marilee Caruso! Fittingly, Isabella Rossellini wore a similar wig during production, so I think we really could not have done better in replicating Dorothy’s big 80s performance hair. 

I put together the outfit, featuring the Golden Era gown from Vixen by Micheline Pitt and vintage 1980s earrings that are a pretty close match to the ones worn by Isabella as Dorothy in the movie. 

I’m super-happy with how these photos turned out!

Samantha White did the amazing makeup while NM Beautybar did the superlative hair. Sam suggested I looked like Martha May Whovier of live-action Grinch film fame, and I’ll take it! 😉

A Retro Lovely pinup cover in Bettie Page Lingerie!

Thanks to Retro Lovely, I’m on the cover of Vol. 244 of the flagship! The photography, set, makeup, and hair are the work of the always-fabulous Marilee Caruso, while the wardrobe was provided by Bettie Page Lingerie!

The Bettie Page set is the Cleo Contrast Stitch Retro set, in stunning pink and light turquoise! Marilee reconstructed her pink and teal boudoir set for the occasion, creating an all-new seamless background with pretty gold stars. We love how it turned out!

The Cleo set is sized up to about 20 US. I usually wear size 18 US in Bettie Page Lingerie bottoms, but this panty and girdle are size 20 US and fit very big on me (we clipped them for the photos). The 40F bra they sent was just perfect (it’s my usual size for most brands, including Bettie Page).
