"""Manage shelves of pickled objects.
A "shelf" is a persistent, dictionary-like object. The difference
with dbm databases is that the values (not the keys!) in a shelf can
be essentially arbitrary Python objects -- anything that the "pickle"
module can handle. This includes most class instances, recursive data
types, and objects containing lots of shared sub-objects. The keys
are ordinary strings.
To summarize the interface (key is a string, data is an arbitrary
object):
import shelve
d = shelve.open(filename) # open, with (g)dbm filename -- no suffix
d[key] = data # store data at key (overwrites old data if
# using an existing key)
data = d[key] # retrieve a COPY of the data at key (raise
# KeyError if no such key) -- NOTE that this
# access returns a *copy* of the entry!
del d[key] # delete data stored at key (raises KeyError
# if no such key)
flag = key in d # true if the key exists
list = d.keys() # a list of all existing keys (slow!)
d.close() # close it
Dependent on the implementation, closing a persistent dictionary may
or may not be necessary to flush changes to disk.
Normally, d[key] returns a COPY of the entry. This needs care when
mutable entries are mutated: for example, if d[key] is a list,
d[key].append(anitem)
does NOT modify the entry d[key] itself, as stored in the persistent
mapping -- it only modifies the copy, which is then immediately
discarded, so that the append has NO effect whatsoever. To append an
item to d[key] in a way that will affect the persistent mapping, use:
data = d[key]
data.append(anitem)
d[key] = data
To avoid the problem with mutable entries, you may pass the keyword
argument writeback=True in the call to shelve.open. When you use:
d = shelve.open(filename, writeback=True)
then d keeps a cache of all entries you access, and writes them all back
to the persistent mapping when you call d.close(). This ensures that
such usage as d[key].append(anitem) works as intended.
However, using keyword argument writeback=True may consume vast amount
of memory for the cache, and it may make d.close() very slow, if you
access many of d's entries after opening it in this way: d has no way to
check which of the entries you access are mutable and/or which ones you
actually mutate, so it must cache, and write back at close, all of the
entries that you access. You can call d.sync() to write back all the
entries in the cache, and empty the cache (d.sync() also synchronizes
the persistent dictionary on disk, if feasible).

I am a small town Minnesota single mom of two great kids who are my life. I began modeling 3 years ago for a photographer ho saw something in me I never did. Ice told me I should do one shoot with him and let that be the guide. I reluctantly agreed, and scheduled our date. I was sacred to death when he told me we would be doing a remake of the publicity stills of the 1956 movie Bus Stop, staring Marilyn Monroe. How in the world could I halfway resemble or pull off an icon the likes of Marylin Monroe in my first step in front of camera? Well, 2 hours later we had a nice set of images and I've been hooked ever since. We've done some really cool things and are looking hard at the future ahead to expand and get me out there a little more.
My pinup journey started at the age of 13 when I started collecting vintage decor and clothing- it has since spiraled into doing pinup shoots, meeting and developing friendships with other gorgeous pinups and being published in a pinup blog and magazine. Looking forward to the future and to see where other opportunities will take me!

I started getting into collecting vintage when I was a young kid, my mom would always take me into antique stores and this seemed to be what fueled it all. Eventually I started dressing and collecting vintage clothing and home decor. My apartment is now a great mix of MCM. I’ve done several pinup photoshoots and am looking to doing more in the future. I have been featured in a online pinup blog as well as being published in an state content creators magazine. Looking forward to the future and all the adventures it brings going forward.

My awesome journey began in California, followed by 25 wonderful years in Colorado. In 2019 I made the best choice of my life—moving to Florida, where I’ve truly found my home. The pin up community has been amazing, as I have always been drawn to the vibrant world of rockabilly style, classic cars, and music. Known for being kind, generous, and full of adventure, I cherish my experiences and connecting with new people. As a proud member of "Pinups and Pumps," I deeply appreciate the camaraderie with my sisters. Together, we give back through charity events, creating lasting bonds and memories.

Clarice entered the pinup scene officially in 2019. Her first photoshoot was a tribute to the queen herself, Bettie Page. Dawning the same iconic bangs and hair darker than the devil's soul, she was a tattooed dead ringer. That photoshoot was featured in Retro Lovely's Bettie Page issue in 2019.
6 years later Clarice is a style of her own, finding herself more and more every day. She's a mental health advocate, constantly trying to educate about mental illness to help end the stigma. In March of this year she'll be celebrating 3 years free from alcohol. Supporting sobriety amongst her community is also a passion. Clarice is also Autistic, and tries to educate on hidden disabilities. Not only is she a pinup, she's a mommy first. Having 3 biological children, 3 "step"children, and her youngest being adopted, who's also autistic.
She enjoys creating art through painting, drawing, photography, and floral hair pieces.
Find her at the car shows, especially if there are rat rods and lowriders involved. Lowriders have been a part of her heart since high school. From being in a friend's hopper getting Taco Bell past her curfew, or cruising the beach with the systems bumping.
The name Clarice Von Darling is a tribute to The Silence of the Lambs. In her sister's memory.
62 year old trans woman who is now retired and living life to the fullest.
