Back in the early 90s, I was a model. I had a sweet-looking portfolio of shots that made me look sexier and more beautiful than anything I saw in the mirror, and I loved working with the camera.

Eventually I got bored of still shots though, and focused my energy on TV.  I thought at first I wanted to be an actor (my first pro gig had actually been in the mid 80s, when I was still an art student, in a film starring then-unknown John Goodman).

But I realized pretty quickly that what I really wanted to do was be myself on camera, and set my sights on becoming a TV show host (which turned out to really be my forte, and I loved it).

However, the still camera is always fun, and about six months ago when I did my most recent promo shots, I rediscovered the joy of posing.

Now the organizers of the Social Media Divas Pinup Calendar Contest have asked me to take part… and hey, why not?  I love the classy old-style pinup photo, and I always went for the classic look when I was modeling.

Of course, I can’t enter those old pictures in the contest, but I thought I’d have a bit of fun with it all.

After all, social networking is fun, internet marketing is fun, and pinup modeling is fun… and since this is a pinup contest for social network marketers, how much more fun could we have?
