The Heart Asks Pleasure First

About Me

VVS's photos are graced by the kind of drag strip dames and juice joint jezebels who populated the men's mags of the 1950s -- with a decidedly modern edge. It's no surprise, then, that with NYC's vibrant burlesque scene, she's the photographer of choice for a wide range of tassel-twirling temptresses, hot-rod honeys, and tommy gun tarts.by Thomas S. Roche Eroszine .. the eros guide to erotica

There once was a time when images of women were filled with secrets and mystery, intrigue and enticement. A sideways glance, the trailing smoke of a slender cigarette, a whisper of danger on cherry red lips. Photographer Viva Van Story takes us back to the days of gun molls and garters with her stunning collection of vintage-inspired imagery. Ms. Van Story eschews the modern-day trend of in-your-face sexual explicitness, instead harkening back to an era where tease and suggestion reigned supreme. Her timeless images range from smoldering seduction to coquettish playfulness. She adds a slick, modern edge to the classic pin-ups of yesteryear, drawing her influences from Cindy Sherman, Gillette Elvgren, Earl Moran, Floria Sigismondi, Irving Klaw and vintage stag magazines. Her work has appearing in Varla Magazine, Ol Skool Rodz, Car Kulture Deluxe, Dice Magazine, Traditional Rod and Kulture.

My Interests

I'm the hardest working woman you'll ever meet. I've been on my own since I was 18 leaving my hometown and family for a dream to be an artist. I'm independent and career focused and make my own money with my art .. I spend most of my time alone with my books and movies and working on projects. Most people just disappoint me so I let very little new people into my life. Trust must be earned with me and loyality is cherished from very few friends. I like a quiet life without drama so I keep mostly to myself and stick to doing my work and moving forward always. My goal is to be one of the best pin-up photographers in the world.. I hope to be remembered like Elvis is when I'm dead.

I'd like to meet:

Girls that look like thisMore lovely ladies to take photos of. Other photographers and artists that I can relate to. Fans are always nice. Anyone interested in rock-a-billy, vintage cars and clothes. Guys that don't say stupid shit! Boys with lots and lots of tattoos.. Bad boys welcomed. Viva STRONGLY SUPPORTS THE RUMBLERS!

Music:

The Cramps, The Smiths, Johnny Thunders, Velvet Underground, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Robert Gordon, Oasis, The Faint, The Strokes, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Blondie, The Shins, The Polecats, Social Distortion, a whole bunch of shit OK.

Movies:

Johnny Suede, Blade Runner, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Naked Lunch, Dead Man, Mystery Train, Wild at Heart, Blue Velvet, Buffalo 66, The Brown Bunny, Barfly, The Heart Is Decentful Above All Things The City of Lost Children by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro The Salton Sea with Val Kilmer (hot) Jesus' Son had me on the floor laughingI'm into independent films the most. For some reason I love them when they have lots of sex and drugs in them though I don't do any drugs or even go out much.

Television:

TV SUCKS! HATE TALK SHOWS, GAME SHOWS, REALITY SHOWS AND MOSTLY JERRY SPRINGER TYPE SHOWS. Waste of fucking time! I'd rather do just about anything else but I love IFC and watch that channel everynight.

Books:

Choke by Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk, Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh, The Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis, Requiem for a Dream by Hubert Selby Jr., Junky by William S. Burroughs, Queer by William S. Burroughs The Heart Is Decentful Above All Things and Sarah by JT LeRoy
