Go-go Amy agrees. A troubadourian glamour puss by trade (she rolls international as a burlesque performer with the Brothers Grim Sideshow), Amy is taking today to tutor would-be sex kittens in the art of pinup. Her workshop: Be a Pinup Girl (or just look like one), covers everything from how to roll your mane up into a retro do, to vintage-style make up application and posing. All participants will then have their hair and make-up professionally set and get to choose from three different photo sets: Hawaiian tiki jungle princess, silver screen glamour queen, or burlesque beauty babe. Famed photographer to the (rock) stars Janette Valentine will be snapping the sexy shots, then retouching them so that you look picture perfect just as a proper pinup should. Bring your own favorite retro frocks or use some of the ones provided; its up to you (and your inner diva). Youll leave with tons of goodies, instructional how-tos, and a disc of your shoot so that someday, when your boobs are on the floorboard, youll remember how they once stopped traffic. The whole thing will run ya $350, and you should email [email protected] to let em know youre coming by Thursday, June 12th. The workshop happens at the Harold Golen Gallery (2921 NW Sixth Ave., Miami) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit www.terriblygirly.com.
