Today we’d like to introduce you to Tamara Darress. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Tamara Darress, also known in the Pin Up world as The Parisian Hostess, has been photographing woman for over 25 years. She has been in front of and behind the camera working in the entertainment business her whole life.
From Japan working as the host of multiple TV shows on the American Forces Network to Norway on a reality TV show, Alt for Norge, to the pages and Covers of Pin Up Magazines, she knows what it is to be a real woman with curves!
Tamara applies her years of experience to helping other women look and feel fabulous with her 101 coaching and guidance from start to finish. Now that the world is starting to reopen, her Bombshell Academy Bootcamp Tour is starting to book dates worldwide!
Glitter Glam Studios, her studio name, is a labor of love and passion with her photography gracing magazine covers and pages around the world!
Glitter Glam Studios specializes in Retro, Classic Pin Up, Glamour, and Boudoir style photography.
Not only is she an internationally published Pin Up Model and Photographer, but the editor and creator of Modern-Day Pin Up Magazine. A magazine dedicated to the Retro lifestyle featuring Pin Ups, Businesses, and Events from around the globe.
Before she got into Pin Up, 4 years ago, she created a lifestyle brand called The Parisian Hostess Apothecary brand of Essential Oils and Skincare which is in over 100 stores and boutiques in the USA.
From working as an Occupational Therapist for over 20 years, on the field as a Miami Dolphins Cheerleader, Reality TV and Show Host, there’s plenty more stories and adventures in her past with more to come!
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
I love creating joy and positivity in all I do; however, life doesn’t always go as planned. Hiring the wrong employee almost destroyed my essential oil business years ago, the challenge of moving past that and not being jaded by other people has been a struggle.
As an entrepreneur, you don’t work a regular 9-5 job, you are on, 24/7 and making sure you find a balance between family and work is always a real struggle. I decided to close my brick-and-mortar location years ago when it started to conflict with my family life. Finding the right person to be “me” is not easy, all entrepreneurs feel the same!
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
As in the previous question, I wear many hats. Helping people feel wonderful from the inside out has always been the trend in my choice of a career. I have been fortunate to be able to do that all my life and have a LIVE shopping show on PopShopLive, a shopping app that was listed in Forbes as one of the upcoming companies in the market.
Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
My closet for sure! Lol, my closet is nicknamed the “archives” I have vintage clothing and gowns filling most of the closet with a giant Lancome Makeup counter full of vintage jewelry. Feather Boas, tiaras, tulle skirts, garter belts, and crystal jewels are my grown-up dress-up box!
Dressing up in Pin Up and attending/working events is such a fabulous way to feel femmine and flirty!
