Some more mood boards of the look from the model we are going for:

So first things first, make a search on sites like model mayhem, purestorm and also have a look at the new faces on models1. If this is unsuccessful then I will make some casting calls.

So this is what we are looking for, Female model, aged between 18 and 30 (might be best to go for an older model), in the local area incase we need her for both days of the shoot, really want someone that has a pinup style as this fits best with the suburban 50's housewife, we also are looking for this model to be blonde with medium to long hair and they are also preferred to be white.

I suppose that as long as the model is blonde and suitable look for their age then the rest of the look can be made through the styling and hair and makeup.

Here are some possibilities that are already close to the look we want:

http://www.modelmayhem.com/1869674 Location - Basildon (Maybe too far?)

http://www.modelmayhem.com/1928869 Location - Sittingbourne

http://www.modelmayhem.com/1668351 Location - Southend (again possibly too far)

Profile picture got my attention but other photos in portfolio are very different.

Alternative 50's styled pinup model, possibly the closest to the look that we are going for without having to do to much.

Purestorm is a pain as you have to pay to do an advanced search for specific models:

A nice styling in this image, even if we do not use this model it might be good to keep this look in mind. Similar to Bethan's look above but more of a mumsy feel.
