Sorry for the late post, my birthday was this weekend.
But today's post is about the brand Blackcraft Clothing, this brand has been blowing up in the past few years, they are known for their Cult/Atheist/No God apparel.
On their side, their description about the brand is " Create Your Own Future & Believe in yourself." In which the brand believes in, and so does the customer as well.
Some of Blackcraft's Customers include Ville Valo of H.I.M, Motionless in White, Ash Costello of New Years Day and M.Shadows for A7X

One thing I like about Blackcraft is that they are a telling it like it is and do not care if it offends people even if its the truth. One quote I found about Witchcraft (In which I practice) was very moving to me:
"Witchcraft is not evil. At least not any more than lighting a votive candle, praying for a sick friend, or carrying a lucky charm is. However, there are some who do view witchcraft as evil. This is only because organized religion (primarily the Christian church) has conditioned them to fear anything which strays from their narrow condemning view. After all, if you have the ability to fend for yourself, solve your own problems, and choose your own method of spiritual expression, why would you need the confined structure of a church?"
Here are some of their products :

Today post will be about three different styles but basted on the same concept and the concept is the 1940s through the 1950s fashion of that time. Between these 10 years,World War ll broke out and fashion died at this point because they needed the fabrics and materials to win the war.
These three styles are inspired by musicians, actresses, horror movies, models and pin up models at the time including Bettie Page, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Marlon Brando, Steve McQueen, James Dean, Bettie Davis, Grace Kelly, Vampria (Malia Nurmi).
(Vampira)
(Bettie Page)
( Grace Kelly)
( Marlon Brando)
The first style is Rockabilly, this style has been around since the mid 50s, since the style of music called rockabilly arose with musicians such as Elvis.
Woman's Rockabilly style consists of A-line dresses and skirts, Tight fitted pencil skirts, capri pants, cute cut tops. Hairstyles like Victory Rolls, Doll bangs, etc. Red lipstick only, black eyeliner with wing tips, cat eye sunglasses.
( Miss Mosh in the Rockabilly style)
Men's Rockabilly style is of rolled up blue jeans at the bottom, slicked back hair, motorcycle boots, white tanks and or t-shirts.
Second style is Psychobilly, still has the same concept as Rockabilly but they are into old monster movies, zombies, dead pinup tattoos. Influenced by The Misfits, The Cramps, Horrorpops, Bettie Page and Vampria.
Third and final look is Pinup (Burlesque), again still the same concept as Rockabilly and Psychobilly. Mostly girls are into this style, this is there lifestyle and their job. Inspired by the Pinup Queens of the past, this style of fashion and dance has nothing to do with being a Exotic dancer or any of that kind of nonsense, Its stripping but classier.
Most popular Pinup/Burlesque girls are Miss Mosh and Dita Von Teese.
Miss Mosh (Above) as been started modeling in 2006 and am now a fulltime freelance model and occasional performer. She loves modeling fetish, alternative, glamour, and almost everything in between.
Dita von Teese the queen of pinup, been in pinup for 20 years. Has her own lingerie line, dress line at Bloomingdales, as walked on the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier and her line for Target in Australia. She is always at Fashion week every year for the last 5 years
