To be fair, the Gibson Man does look like an insufferable twat She wanted independence, but like… not too much independence (Gibson Girls weren’t after the vote, that would just be crazy!).Ī Gibson Man was created to go with The Gibson Girl, but much like Ken to Barbie, nobody really cared. It was the impossible woman they wanted to pin to their walls, not her random boyfriend. There is no danger of these ladies getting sand in their hair, nor anywhere else.īut what bought the Gibson Girl to life was that she had a clear personality. She was a new woman, self assured, put together, sensual and intelligent all at once. She had sizeable breasts but an itty bitty wasp waist a swan-like neck that was dangerously close to biologically impossible and masses of dark hair piled precariously atop her head, miraculously inoperable to sweat, rain and general disaster. Well, my friends, let’s start at the very beginning (a very good place to start) with the mother of all pin ups:Ĭreated in 1887 by Charles Gibson, The Gibson Girl is now widely accepted as the first pin-up.Įvery time I throw my hair up I aim for this level of beauty…and every time I get a crow's nestĭrawn lasciviously, the Gibson Girl represented a woman that could be imitated but couldn’t actually exist.

I had to hold back happy tears the entire morning while Lauren got ready – she is breathtaking (inside and out!) and deserves all the happiness in the world! Again, tears flowed as her sweet brother walked her down the aisle! Chris looked mighty dashing too I must add! And, just wait til you see his dance moves! The beautiful Florida weather enhanced the carefully planned details and stunning decorations. I cannot rave enough about their venue: The Destin Bay House! With stunning backdrops, an intimate setting, and a fantastic staff – it is truly a dream location!
And, thankfully, hurricane Matthew stayed far enough away to not interrupt the festivities. I can’t explain what a tremendous honor it was to fly to Florida for their big day, and I’ll forever cherish all the memories and relaxation time with this sweet couple and their awesome family and friends. Seeing how many people traveled from afar made me realize even more how much these two are loved.
PINUPGIRLS DESTIN HOW TO
I seriously adore Lauren and Chris!!! They have the best personalities, cutest love story, and wow- they sure know how to throw an elegant and fun wedding!! Lauren and Chris first met briefly through a mutual friend and life led them their separate ways. Then, five years later they crossed paths again at a wedding, and the rest is history! Lauren said she knew immediately he was a keeper when he was willing to drive the following weekend after the wedding from Lexington, KY to Richmond, VA to take her on our first date!
