Rockabilly Girls
yep, I'm a Rockabilly Girl. The style is simple-retro glamor. Pretty much anything that bespeaks the forties or early fifties goes. We love our makeup, especially at night when the false eyelashes come out. We love to cuff our jeans with heels, belt our fitted tops, and don our flirty sundresses or pencil skirts for a night out. Hair is always layered , sometimes with betty-page style bangs,and curled either in a heated or cold set...pin curls are a plus. We love Victory Rolls, modest Esther Willliams style swimwear, and we protect our skin with a parasol. Many of us are heavily tattooed though some of us prefer the 'pristine' skin of yore. This look takes time, there's no doubt, but I think it is the most flattering style on the female form and women of all sizes look beautiful in it. Several online stores cater to the retro-lady. Daddyos.com, Mybabyjo.com, and Pinupgirlclothing.com to name a few.
Most people don't even know this subculture exists. Are there any more of you out there?

Do you consider Varga girls part of your influence?

Absolutely. I adore pinup art and the hairstyles of the period are so lovingly captured there. My favorite pinup artist is Edward Runci but Vargas, Gil Elvgren, and Peter Dribben are other favorites. |

I'm not sure, but I will ask. Would Garcia on Criminal Minds be considered Rockabilly?

I'm not, but I am well aware of the subculture.  My heart-sister's son is totally Rockabilly and has been for years! Among his acquaintances are Asia DeVinyl and Cherry Lane. 
I do happen to own a dress I'll bet you'd just LOVE to borrow.  A 1958 original that belonged to my Mother...

I ABSOLUTELY love this style and thank you for the links. It is a very good look on most women.
