Sofia Villani Scicolone Dame Grand Cross OMRI (Italian: [soˈfiːa vilˈlaːni ʃikoˈloːne]; born 20 September 1934), known professionally as Sophia Loren (Italian: [ˈlɔːren], English: /ləˈrɛn/), is an Italian film actress. She is one of the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Encouraged to enroll in acting lessons after entering a beauty pageant, Loren began her film career at age 16 in 1950. She appeared in several bit parts and minor roles in the early part of the decade, until her five-picture contract with Paramount in 1956 launched her international career. Notable film appearances around this time include The Pride and the Passion, Houseboat, and It Started in Naples.
At age 15, Loren as Sofia Lazzaro entered the Miss Italia 1950 beauty pageant and was assigned as Candidate #2, being one to the four sharing contestants representing the Lazio region. She was selected as one of the last three finalists and won the title of “Miss Elegance 1950” , while Liliana Cardinale won the title of “Miss Cinema” and Anna Maria Bugliari won the grand title of Miss Italia. She returned in 2001 as president of the jury for the 61st edition of the pageant. In 2010, Loren crowned the 71st Miss Italia pageant winner.[8][9]
Her talents as an actress were not recognized until her performance as Cesira in Vittorio De Sica's Two Women (1961); Loren's performance earned her the Academy Award for Best Actress, making her the first actor or actress to win an Oscar for a foreign-language performance. She holds the record for having earned six David di Donatello Awards for Best Actress: Two Women; Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (1963); Marriage Italian Style (1964) (for which she was nominated for a second Oscar); Sunflower (1970); The Voyage (1974); and A Special Day (1977). After starting a family in the early 1970s, Loren chose to make only occasional film appearances. Most recently, she has appeared in American films such as Grumpier Old Men (1995) and Nine (2009).
Aside from the Academy Award, she has won a Grammy Award, five special Golden Globes (including the Cecil B. DeMille Award), a BAFTA Award, a Laurel Award, the Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival, the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival and the Honorary Academy Award in 1991. In 1995, she received the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievements, one of many such awards. In 1999, Loren was named by the American Film Institute the 21st greatest female star of Classic Hollywood Cinema. She is currently the only living actress and the highest ranked living person on the list.[1]
Granddaughter of a WW2 vet, I fell in love with the art of pin up as a small child looking through books of pin ups my grandfather had from the war. I have loved vintage style and dressed up my whole life, even though I didn't "fit in". In 2019 I joined a local girl gang Pinups and Pumps and did my first photo shoot. I was finally able to express myself! I felt my heart pour out in front of the lens. Miss Dyna Might was born!! I celebrate my curves, my femininity, my sass and class! Today, I have met so many wonderful women and have seen confidence form before my eyes! The art of Pin Up is alive! No matter our age or size, we are all beautiful bombshells!
Born in Flagstaff, AZ, I'm a 6th generation native from the Grand Canyon State. I use my pinup platform to bring awareness of mental and physical health issues of our Veterans, Active military and First responders by fundraising, event planning and pageantry. I work closely with veteran groups such as Diving Devil Dogs of AZ and Veterans IV Veterans. I've been doing pinup for over 13 years and enjoy the 40s and 50s classic style. For the last 3 years I've run a successful beard comp that has raised money for helping veterans with PTSD and Suicide prevention.

Hello my lovely darlings! I'm Em, a novice freelance model based out of Vancouver in the beautiful province of British Columbia, Canada. I absolutely love Pin-Up style: the over-the-top expressions, the dresses, the vintage lingerie, the make-up, the curls. I adore it all! I am especially over the moon about anything 40s and 50s inspired - think tea length swing dresses, circle skirts, and polkadots! I also enjoy me a good wiggle dress, of course!
I would love to get to shoot more pin-up looks! If you're interested in working together, please let me know a little bit about yourself 🙂

I was raised in the 90's, with Skateboarding, tattoos and Punk Rock music at an early age. I love the ocean, surfing, boating, paddle boarding, fishing snowboarding and collecting shells. I love thrift and vantage shopping, I enjoy the hunt of finding unwanted items and giving them life again. The Pin Up lifestyle feels natural to me.
