Deadly is the Female interviews Soda Fontaine!
There are so many beautiful bloggers, models and gals who love the vintage style and we absolutely adore! We wanted to get together with a few to quiz them about anything and everything to do with clothing, makeup, hair, body confidence, selfie tips and so much more! In each interview we ask the lovely ladies 3 personalised questions to get an insight into each ladies lives and then we ask 5 Deadly questions which have been put together by our staff and customers that will be asked in each interview, how exciting!
Today our Deadly roving reporter is interviewing the adorable, super kind and beautiful Soda Fontaine!
We absolutely love your outfit of the day posts, they always inspire us with new hair styles or outfits to try out! How did you first get into dressing in the pinup/vintage style?
In my last year of High School I discovered Dita Von Teese and I absolutely adored her style. I remember saying to my friends ‘when I am older I am going to dress like Dita!’. Now that I am older, Dita has definitely influenced my hair and makeup style. However the way I dress day to day is not as glamorous haha. I tend to go for more modern, casual pinup/rockabilly looks. However, starting burlesque classes back in 2012 is what really kick started my confidence in dressing pinup style. Through the classes I discovered the New Zealand burlesque and pinup/vintage community. It gave me a sense of belonging and I realised that if these wonderful ladies have the confidence to dress this way, then I can too. Nothing was actually stopping me other than being afraid of what people would think.

You are originally from New Zealand, a beautiful part of the world! What are you enjoying getting up too whilst here in the U.K.?
The list of things to do in London is endless and I love that!! I’m really enjoying seeing theatre and musicals. Visiting the numerous museums and exhibitions. As well as admiring the old architecture of London and the UK. Plus being so close to Europe is amazing!!
You’ve been travelling all over the world, we are very jealous of all your exciting adventures! We struggle to pack all our outfits, Petticoats, accessories and so much more when heading off. What is your top tip for a travelling pinup?
My top tip would be to choose a colour theme for your accessories and shoes that can work with all of your outfits. For example, when I packed for Viva Las Vegas my colour theme was white and blue. For the majority of my Viva outfits I was able to pair with my white mules, white handbag, plus white and blue jewellery.

The 5 Deadly questions…..
1) What is your most treasured piece in your wardrobe?
My vintage 1940’s swimsuit. It’s turquoise and beautifully shimmers in the sun.
