Bombshells and Dollies

As a huge fan of Rockabilly and pinup culture, "Bombshells and Dollies" was a delightful romp through the glorious technicolor of the genre. And as a woman, I appreciated seeing a documentary that showcased the female empowerment that is an important part of the pinup community. The contests featured in the film are a positive twist on the traditional beauty pageant-all shapes and sizes of the female form are accepted and celebrated.

"Bombshells and Dollies" makes me wish I had the money to dress like a pinup every day! At least I can live vicariously through the charming ladies who tell their stories in this documentary.

'BOMBSHELLS AND DOLLIES' is a story of female empowerment, self-confidence, personal goals, celebrating every woman's unique individuality, embracing all body types, races, sexual orientations and cultures.

Truly a hidden gem -- and an uplifting film to watch, especially given our world's current pandemic.

A definite must-see!

The film's title and description certainly give an idea of the content. But, the treatment was so unexpectedly beautiful, really loving. Contrary to expectations from trite and dismissive popular notions, these are real humans with the ambition more to make real contributions to society, than to "win the crown". The contestants are cooperative, much more than competitive. And their accomplishments are, in many cases, genuinely significant. Just a great way to spend a too short time viewing! Kudos!

This is a very fun and moving view into a fascinating sub-culture I have never heard of.

Bombshells and Dollies is a very cool documentary that follows the twelve finalists in the Miss Viva Las Vegas 2015 competition. It gives us an understanding of the history, culture, and rockabilly music of pin-up life.

The film is very well done and exceptionally crafted. We really get to know the women as real people and understand what inspires them. I was surprised to grow so fond of many of them.

The filmmaker has structured the film very effectively. I didn't at all expect to become familiar with all twelve finalists, but he made it happen by weaving their introductions throughout the various parts of the film.
