Happy Veterans Day Remembering my grandpa who fought and died in Vietnam, my Uncle Ed who served in WW2 and Korea, and all my friends who have served. A “thank you” is never enough. Letting you all know that I love all my friends and family who have served. #waves #usnavywaves #filipinx #pinayism #livinghistory #ww2 #veteransday #worldwar2 #wwii #usnavy #sewretro #sewing #asianamerican #representationmatters #represent (at Fort MacArthur Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4wHJBfAM_V/?igshid=zs14hu8mw6ai

💙 USS Iowa 💙 Finally got to shoot on the USS Iowa in my US Navy WAVES outfit. I made my WAVES lieutenant uniform because I was tired of not seeing vintage pieces in my size. Love you all, anyway! 😘 📷: @reina.jonelle #pinayism #filipinx #usnavy #usnavywaves #vintage #vintagereproduction #waves #wwii #ussiowa #bb61 #worldwar2 #sanpedro #sewretro #sewvintage (at Pacific Battleship Center - Battleship USS Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1RvIT9gRPh/?igshid=qk5doc7hc271

⚓️Girl Anachronism⚓️ I got a lot of compliments for this selfie in my stories. I just started listening to Dresden Dolls and one specific song, Girl Anachronism, came on during a time when I was struggling with my self image and feeling pressured to keep up with social media trends. I don’t believe in sacrificing what makes me who I am to get a boost in popularity. While this has always been me since middle school, surprisingly enough, it’s been harder with having a presence on Instagram and fighting the algorithms. I’m always going to be weird. I’m always going to do things my way. It’s better to be alone and be yourself than to be with the wrong people and fake a persona. #pinup #waves #azurlane #shades #pinayism #bivisibility #vintage #vintagestyle #vintagestylenotvintagevalues #1940s #40s (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0uN6mlgSRk/?igshid=1h3isp9tcrubg

“I wasn’t born a beauty queen and I’m okay with that.” Competing in pinup contests was fun while it lasted. I’ve decided that it’s not for me. I like photoshoots and coming up with different ideas with photographers. I have so many retro inspired things I’d like to shoot that’s outside of the normal realm of pinup. Happy to know a few of you who can bring that vision to life! 🥰 📷: @vintagegirlstudios 💄: @missrietta 👗: @ladydecouture #styleblogger #pinayism #retrostyle #retrofashion #oldhollywood #1930s #1940s #1950s #oldhollywoodglamour #prettyinpink #vintage #vintagestyle #vintagerepro #vintagefashion #retrofashion #newenglandphotographer https://www.instagram.com/p/B0WJdArg8wT/?igshid=rt7mpeswms3q

Don’t mine me, just claiming space. I always have an amazing time at the LA Air Raid. I really love this event and I miss dancing a lot! I was able to wear my WAVES uniform that I made from scratch. I’m also bringing Filipinx visibility to this event; Filipinx veterans of WW2 never got their due. It’s important for me to represent people like my late Uncle Ed who fought for his country. I might be the one Filipinx at these events, but I share the same love for history and recreation with everyone else! #claimingspace #pinayism #worldwar2 #laairraid #waves #usnavy #wavesuniform #ww2 #greatlaairraidof1942 #greatlaairraid #historical #history #livinghistory #pinup #vintage #wwii #sewretro #sewvintage https://www.instagram.com/p/BuelxV8gU7B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1niq3bgfg1k7y

Thank you Prof. Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales for sharing this. I absolutely love the song and the video. Just bought the song on iTunes. Part of me wishes there was a clean version of the song and the entire album so I can play Us for my goddaughter. Maybe her mom will let her listen to it in 10-13 years.
