Love both of them I first saw/heard of Ms. Mckinney a few years ago. I had the pleasure running across the movie Hallelujah on TMC. She played a raw vixen and she ran the film. I was shocked to find out that she was still in her teens.

You know, I have always loved the pin-up look and can hardly find any Black pin-up women. Which is surprising because it’s one of the few modeling art that embraces women with curves. I absolutely LOVED the movie on Josephine Baker, she was definitely comfortable in her own skin which is admirable. I would love to see more on the pin-up looks from clothes, shoes to the red lips, dramatic eyelashes, and even natural/loc’d pin-up hair-dos. You up for that challenge?

I wonder what hair products they were using back then to hold hair in place. Josephine Bakers hair was always fierce, sculpted AND NOT MOVING! Whatever the were using maybe they need to re-release it. Im a natural but can appreciate hair art when I see it.

I’ve been totally obsessed with the whole pin-up look as of late. Full manicured brows, neutral or pastel shadow with smoking winged eyeliner (gel) and I’ve always been a neutral/nude/brown lip girl but you have to have the perfectly lined red lip (gotta be the right red for brown bellas tho). Great post!

Loving this post–such style inspiration! I’ve never tried Three Custom Color products (but I’ve heard great things..), but that sheer lipcolor looks absolutely divine.
*Thinking of partaking in some retail therapy this weekend…

I love the 20′s look. I love the pictures and the style of that era.

I’ve never even heard of Nina Mae McKinney but the women of this era were very glam and true ladies. Great post!
