Atomic Cheesecake Studios' photostream

#1- don't ask me to add photos to your private groups.

#2- The photos posted here are of my clients and friends who I have the utmost respect for. If you leave disgusting, rude, sexually explicit or suggestive comments on their photos, I WILL BLOCK YOU. Compliments are one thing, skeevy comments are another. "She's adorable"; is nice, "She looks TASTY", "I'd like to lick that", "MMMM delicious feet" isn't, dig?

#3- If your Flickr site is full of nothing but pictures of you fucking people, or of people engaged in sex acts you collected on the internet, or of you wearing a diaper, don't comment my photos... it gives me the creeps. Same goes for anyone whose only purpose of being on Flickr is to find jerk off fodder. If you profile name is "likeseatingass" or "pussyhound69" or something of a similar nature, SPARE ME THE COMMENTS. I don't feel like explaining your general lack of good judgment with the poor girl whose photo you tainted by commenting "MMMMMMMMmmmmmm".

#4- If you have professional feedback on my photos or specific critique on models, I welcome your feedback, but please save that for a private e-mail and refrain from posting negative comments on my images. 90% of the girls I work with have never modeled, and aren't used to being looked at critically by strangers with stong opinions. They come here to be pampered and to feel good about themselves, so let's not fuck that up.

#5- DO NOT USE MY IMAGES! DO NOT ALTER MY IMAGES! If you have some interesting project, contact me FIRST. If you help yourself and I find out, I GET BITCHY.

Now, on to the fun stuff.

I like to store things in my bra, which has made for some interesting impressions of objects on my boobs at the end of the day. I live to laugh, and surround myself with crazy people that amuse me.

I'm a self-taught photographer, hair stylist, make-up artist, set builder, and retoucher. Most of what you see in my portfolio is 100% my work start to finish, unless you see credits otherwise. I don't pretend to be an expert on anything, and learn something new every time I shoot.

I'm a mom, a greaseball, a wife, an artist, an only child, A full-time retro pinup photographer for hire, and a serious collector of all sorts of wacky shit. I'm a Karb King (old cars) and a Baltimore Bombshell (old scooters). If it's old and has an engine, chances I want to drive it, ride it and/or fix it. I fantasize about operating heavy equipment, and power tools get me hot.

I love getting greasy in the garage and reviving old junk to its former glory. I'm incredibly handy and can fix just about anything (from computers, to cars, to appliances). I do the work myself as often as I can as I TRULY ENJOY learning to do new things. I'm proud to say that I can do bodywork, put together an engine, rebuild carburetors, use a spray gun, wire a car and MIG weld.

I believe that you get ONE chance to live your life, so I choose to live it fully surrounded by friends who do the same. I have no regrets, make no excuses, and live in the moment. I do some pin-up modeling, but spend more time taking photos of pin-ups.

I love the H.A.M.B.! And I adore and traditionally-styled hod rods and customs. I grew up around hot rods and they are an important part of who I am.

I have lots of "collections" that stem from my belief that I was born in the wrong era. My favorite thing to collect is old x-rated/nudie novelty items and pin-ups. I also collect 50's era cocktail items, Franciscan Starburst dinnerware, tiki mugs, coin operated stuff (like jukeboxes, soda machines, and peepshows) and most recently Heywood Wakefield furniture. My hubby and I collect movies as well, mostly in the genres of old educational/ephemeral films, drive-in movie schlock, 70's blaxploitation, sleeze, and gory horror.

I've met lots of fine and talented folks on Flickr, and hope to be here for years to come.
