Brittany Jane’s Ink

Featuring Imagery by Bad Bones Photography

My very first tattoo was a gift from my Dad. It is on my back, between my shoulder blades. It is a peace sign with vines and flowers wrapping around it. Honestly, it really has no meaning to me other than I

was very into peace signs at the time. I was 19. From there, I really did fall in love with the art of tattoos and how you can express yourself through tattoos. My second tattoo probably has the most meaning than any other tattoo I have or will ever have. It is a memorial tattoo that I got the day after my Mother’s funeral in 2010. She died tragically and unexpectedly and my life will never be the same. That tattoo is for both my Mother and my Nana, who have both passed on. It is a seahorse and a dragon fly, with daisies and yellow roses. My Nana loved seahorses and my Mother loved dragonflies. The flowers are both their favorite flowers. After those two tattoos, I have gotten tattoos mostly to represent family. I have a gummy bear to represent my first and only niece Brooklynn, who I call my “gummy-bear”. On my forearm, I have a microphone to represent my brother who is the best hip hop artist I have ever heard. I have a “Steel Rose” on my arm, and my Dad has the same one as well. That tattoo represents the “Father and Daughter Day” we would have when I was younger.

Spotlight on Photography | Featuring Flash in the Past

A Spotlight Featuring

Flash in the Past Studio Makeup & Hair Styling by Flash in the Past Studio: Donna Dungan, Natasha Noir, Kelly Estes PUM: When did you become a photographer and what inspired you to do so?

PUM: In your opinion, what makes a photo stand out above the average?

I became a licensed photographer in 2008 after earning a Bachelors Degree in film animation. I started doing pinups as a hobby that simply grew into a full time studio and business that I fell in love with. My passion for the past, along with my artistic ability, brought ‘Flash in the Past Studio’ to fruition.

When it comes to ‘Flash in the Past Studio’, aside from overall quality, the confidence within the pinup herself. An experienced photographer learns to bring out those qualities in the client. My wardrobe and props help them to “feel the part” and they truly enjoy the entire transformation and experience. That is what makes my photographs “above the average”. PUM: Who or what inspires your work? There are many pastime pinups that inspire me. I’d have to say that Esther Williams is an absolute favorite, along with Gil Elvgren’s ideal pinups. I have done extensive research and am inspired so much by all the greats of the past. PUM: What does photography mean to you? Photography is my way of capturing past era’s and portraying the pinups in a way that is true and genuine. PUM: Who is your favorite pin up model, alive or dead? As early as the stars of the Ziegfeld Follies, to Esther Williams (perhaps due to my addiction to vintage swimwear), to Bettie Page, and as late as Ann-Margret, it’s truly impossible to name just one! PUM: Do you shoot with digital or film? Which is your favorite and why?

especially with how fast-paced ‘Flash in the Past Studio’ is. PUM: What advice do you have for aspiring photographers on how to begin their career? Love your subject or else you’re not going to capture a damn thing. How do you “connect” with your subjects and do you find it important to do so? With pinup photography, it’s not only important, it’s mandatory! Connecting comforts your client; comfort brings confidence, and confidence is key. There’s another key, but that’s a secret! (wink, wink) PUM: What is your favorite location to shoot at and why? All locations are a treat, however, airstrips are up there on my list. I adore photographing pinups with vintage aircraft, especially ‘warbirds’, there’s just so much history there ; simply classic! PUM: Tell us a story about the most interesting shoot you have had. Oh, boy! One year the studio took a trip to do photo shoots in Las Vegas, NV. Along the way our vehicle’s camper top popped open and huge burlesque feather fans flew throughout the interstate. Even though hundreds of dollars worth of

feathers were flying through the air and getting damaged by semi trucks, the thought of us gals running along the side of the interstate trying to save them always gives us a good laugh. Lesson learned; make sure to double secure equipment and props while in transit. PUM: Do you prefer color to black and white, why or why not? All depends on the subject, I can’t say that I have a preference. PUM: How would you describe your style as a photographer? Animated; perhaps I wound up an animator after all! PUM: Do you have any other talents that we do not know about, what are they? I’m an “artist” that uses many different mediums to express my talents. I put those talents into my business. These talents include my drawing skills (shoot concepts), graphic design experience (marketing and retouching), my insane knowledge of vintage fashion (studio wardrobe/ costumes), and creativity for pinup modeling (posing/themes). I also think I have an uncanny knack for bringing out the best features in my clients and putting them at ease. I think I bring out the best in them!

PUM: Tell us about any upcoming projects or work you are completing in the near future. I was recently approached by The Southern Arizona Aids Foundation to provide vintage pinup clothing for their annual MODA Provocateur Charity Fashion Show. I was asked to select the models and choose their outfits and will be backstage during the event to make sure everything is a success! I’m very excited to represent ‘Flash in the Past’ to a new audience and to be in the company of other local, successful businesses. I also just recently finished a project that I’m very

proud of. I’ve always been intrigued by sideshow/ circus “freaks” and decided to put together a “program” featuring my photography of clients... the Bearded Lady, the Siamese Twins, the Living Torso, etc. This was something I really enjoyed creating! PUM: Where can our readers view more of your work and how can they get in touch with you? www.FlashinthePast.com and/or find me at ‘Flash in the Past’ on Facebook and/or Instagram.

Get to Know Burlesque Goddess

Olivia Dantes Interview by Jessica Jean Suderno Photos by Kat Attack Photography

PUM: When did you first decide to become a model and what inspired you? I’ve always been an artist. Ever since I was a young child I was always crafting, painting, sewing, everything. Modeling to me was just another art form. I fell in love with it because I don’t need other tools to create art; my body is my tool. PUM: Where are you from and how has it influenced you? I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. The bay is a melting pot of different cultures, styles, music, and fashion. I think that influence of diversity is a part of what gives my modeling so much variety. I love every genre- from pin-up, to high fashion, to alternative. PUM: Who are your favorite pin up models, past or present and how do they influence your modeling? There are so many talented women in my profession that I do look up to. Mosh and Dita Von Teese are both natural beauties.They both model with such poise and grace. Just the way they carry themselves is nothing but classy. PUM: Where would your dream photo shoot be located and who would you be shooting with? One of my all time favorite photographers is Ellen Von Unwerth. I have never seen an image or concept of hers that I didn’t absolutely love. Wherever and whatever she’d want to shoot would be more than fine with me.

Celebrity Pin Up | Featuring Olivia Dantes

PUM: How do you prepare for a photo shoot? Any special routine? I am super organized, so I usually pack a few days before a shoot. I have every piece already packed away, because I’ve learned my lesson rushing out the door and forgetting something important! I get a coffee and a piece of fruit or a granola bar for energy. I also love crazy poses, so I try to stretch beforehand. (A photo shoot can be a real workout!) PUM: Tell us an interesting story about one of your favorite photo shoots. I was on a shoot and the make up artist flaked. The friend of the hair stylist was free so she came to do my makeup. I don’t want to sound like a snob, but the makeup was horrible. I have very strong features, and it’s easy to overdue makeup on me. I’m a professional; even though I didn’t like it, I stuck through the shoot. I’d never want to embarrass someone. It wasn’t a big deal,

but it did give me a complex about having my makeup done by somebody else. PUM: What do you find fun and rewarding about modeling? I love to travel and see new places. Whether it’s just a small town somewhere I’ve never been to, or a bigger city. I also love meeting new people. Especially artists like myself who share similar interests and stories. I’ve met so many wonderful people, who have become really good friends through doing this; that’s probably the best thing. PUM: What do you dislike about modeling? I don’t like getting lubed up and squeezed into latex. I absolutely love how it looks in photos, though. I’m also a very low-maintenance girl, outside of modeling. Having to do my hair is always a hassle. It’s so thick and heavy, it’s difficult to manage. PUM: We know you have some awesome tattoos, what are your favorites and why did you get them? Thank you! I have my “Mama” and “Daddy” tattoos for obvious reasons. But other than those, the majority of my tattoos are just an expression of my personality. Things that I feel represent me and my interests. For example, the strongman on my ribs I got because I absolutely love the circus. I don’t think every tattoo has to be especially meaningful or have an explanation. A lot of time, I like an idea or how something looks and I’ll just get it tattooed. PUM: What does fashion mean to you, and why do you love the pin up style?

Celebrity Pin Up | Featuring Olivia Dantes

I love the pinup style because it reminds me of a era where people really took the time to dress-to-impress. I also get reminded of my father and grandfather when I dress that way, or am surrounded by antiques and vintage. We would always go to garage sales and flea markets together looking for antiques. Also, the fashions from the 30’s-60’s I think are pretty timeless. It’s not something trendy and cheap. Very similar to styles today, those which can’t last one month without being “out” of fashion.

My husband has definitely been a huge support in my career. He is there through the self-consciousness I get, the long days, the bad experiences, and the good ones. He has been nothing but supportive and has really helped me with not just encouragement, but also with marketing myself as a model and performer.

PUM: What are your favorite fashion design trends and do you have any favorite labels or designers?

My goals are always changing and progressing. I have been so fortunate to come as far as I have in such a relatively short amount of time. I would love to do more burlesque performances, and I would love to travel more. Only time will tell what is next for me, but I’m not going to stop anytime soon; that’s for sure.

I have a thing for vintage western wear (my bedroom is western themed!) I’m really into Fables by Barrie; also, Steady Clothing has great quality garments, and do a great job of making both modern and vintage styles accessible and wearable for everybody. PUM: How has modeling changed other aspects of your life?

PUM: What are your goals as a model? How do you see yourself progressing in the next few years?

PUM: Where can our readers learn more about you and how can they contact you?

Growing up, I never had a “dream” occupation. I never knew which direction I wanted to take. Now I definitely feel like this is what I am meant to be doing with my life. It is my passion, my love, and I am living my dreams.

Inquiries about booking for modeling and burlesque, or just questions in general can be sent to:

PUM: Who would you say is your biggest fan and why?

Velvet’s Lamb Sausage “Hand cranking sausage, is a lovely way to spend a chilly night indoors.” To make sausage by hand all utensils need to be cold to ensure a good consistency while stuffing the casings. This recipe can be used to make sausage patties. Ingredients: • 1 pound ground lamb • 2 Tablespoons rosemary needles (no stems) • 1 teaspoon garlic minced • 1 Tablespoon parsley • 1 teaspoon thyme flakes • 4 sundried tomatoes halves soaked in water, chopped finely • 2-3 Tablespoons feta cheese crumbles • Zest from 1/2 lemon • 1 Tablespoon olive oil • Juice from half a lemon • 1 teaspoon salt • Pepper to taste • optional 1 Tablespoon chili flakes • optional replace lemon juice with white wine

grinder with attachment. A great tip if using this device is to keep everything as cold as possible. Between plunging the meat mixture into the device cavity put everything into the fridge to keep the grinder and utensils cold. Keeping the mixture cold means the fat in the meat won’t melt making it easier to create firm sausages. Once you have formed your sausages let them air dry by hanging them; this also intensifies the flavour. If skipping making sausages in casings simply form the meat mixture by hand into a sausage shape or a patty shape. Fry in a lightly oiled skillet two or three at a time turning frequently ensuring browning on all sides.

Mix well all ingredients in a bowl. Test the mixture by frying a small portion then adding more seasoning if desired to mixture. Be careful not to add too much salt. To maximize flavour put mixture overnight in the fridge or for a few hours. You can purchase sausage casing either synthetic or hog from any quality butcher. Make sure to rinse hog casings to clear any debris. Follow the instructions on your sausage maker. I use an old school meat

54  THEPINUPMAG.COM

• • •

3 Cups (750 mL) button mushrooms 2 Tbsp (30 mL) brandy 2 Tbsp (30 mL) minced fresh parsley

Directions: Soak dried mushrooms in 1/2 Cup (125 mL) hot water for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, trim fat from beef; cut meat into 1-1/2-inch (4 cm) cubes and set aside. In Dutch oven, sauté bacon over medium-high heat until crisp; transfer to paper towel-lined plate. Drain fat from pan. Add 1 Tbsp (15 mL) of the oil to pan; brown beef, in 3 batches and adding remaining oil as necessary. Transfer to bowl. Drain fat from pan. Add chopped onion, carrot, garlic, salt and pepper to pan; cook over medium heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with flour; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Reserving soaking liquid, remove mushrooms and chop; add to pan along with soaking liquid, wine and broth. Bring to boil, scraping up any brown bits. Tie parsley, thyme and bay leaves together with string. Add to pan along with bacon, beef and any juices. Cover and braise in 325°F (160°C) oven until meat is fork-tender, 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Meanwhile, in pot of boiling water, boil pearl onions for 3 minutes; drain and chill in cold water. Peel and trim, leaving root ends intact. In skillet, melt butter over medium heat; brown pearl onions, about 5 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer to bowl. Add mushrooms to skillet; fry until browned, about 5 minutes. With slotted spoon, remove beef to separate bowl. Add pearl onions, mushrooms and brandy to liquid in Dutch oven; bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until thickened and onions are tender, about 25 minutes. Discard herbs. Return beef to pan and heat through. Sprinkle with parsley.
