Terribly Girly Pins Up Orlando!


Terribly Girly's coming to Orlando in October!


That's right! We're packing our bags and taking the show on the road. Many girls in central Florida have expressed interest in joining us so we'll be in Orlando for 2 days.

We'll be booking photo sessions on Saturday, October 23rd and Sunday, October 24th.

We will have a variety of classic cars to choose from on Saturday, we'll be focusing on "hotrod girl" and "classic" pinup looks.
We are securing a cool indoor location for Sunday's sessions if you prefer to do studio shots. We'll keep you posted on final location but promise it will be cool!

If you're interested in booking a fun session with the Terribly Girly crew please contact booking@terriblygirly.com to secure your spot.


Sessions include:
Professional hairstyling and makeup artistry
Photo session
Wardrobe (Wardrobe available if needed)
8 final retouched images on a CD and a gift print!


As always we will provide a comfortable environment and you will be guided throughout the shoot to ensure that you look and feel your best!
If you have a small group of friends that want to join in on the fun please let us know so we can accommodate your group!

If you'd like to opt for both looks (indoors and hotrod) please let us know and you will receive a discount.


Shoot Cost is $350.00


A deposit of $100.00 is required to secure your booking and will be deducted from your shoot cost. You will receive a checklist with tips to help you prep for your shoot after you've been booked, along with the address to the shoot location.


We're open to ideas so if you have something fun in mind for your session we'll be happy to plan with you.


Looking forward!

When you're no longer a Cast Member

At what point do you stop being cast member?

Sure, there's the last day at work in the parks. But not always. My last summer at the Magic Kingdom, I worked as a "CT," or seasonal, employee, pulling weekend shifts at Tom Sawyer's Island and weeknight shifts at parade audience control. (On weekdays, I was working as a news intern for Orlando talk radio station WDBO-AM.) I didn't take special note of my final shift as a Disney World cast member because I hadn't thought it would be my last. My plan was to come back from graduate journalism school and work the Christmas holidays at Disney. But the local newspaper up in Indiana hired me instead, so I called up and quit my Disney job, to start my journalism career.

But in some sense, I never stopped being a CM, even after that day when I quit. Obviously, my love for theme parks has endured, and I continue to use this forum to help folks get the most from their theme park visits, just as I did (in a far more limited way) working inside the parks.

And when I visit the parks themselves, whether I am at the Magic Kingdom or another Disney park, I still find myself... slipping into the CM vibe. On Natalie's birthday at Disneyland last week, I chased down one of the Main Street Vehicles to return two hats to a mother and daughter, after they'd blown off in the street in front of me. Later, at Small World, I smiled silently at an older woman whose friend was fumbling with a camera while trying to take a group picture. The woman asked her friend to hand me the camera, and I took the picture, with everyone included. A couple of lost guests stopped to ask me questions. I picked up a piece of trash from the street.

I don't slip into this same mode when visiting other companies' parks. And frankly, I don't feel it as strongly outside the Magic Kingdom and its older twin, Disneyland. But five summers of working in the Magic Kingdom taught me habits I, obviously, have yet to break. 

You know what? I'm happy with that. Creating magic is really just about creating a friendly environment where folks are always ready to help one another. At one point, that was my job and Disney paid me to do it. Today, creating that magic is its own reward, helping me feel the friendship and appreciation of folks whom I can have an opportunity to help, in whatever way. (And since I don't work for Disney anymore, that can include talking about rival parks, too.)

Maybe some people never stop being a cast member - at least not entirely. Thank goodness for that.

Keep Calm Carry on and Drink Tea

that cannot be much diminished
by a nice cup of tea."
