The DDs
The DDs are the brainchild of Kate Donovan of www.KatesPinups.com, she is a genuine all American pinup model now living in the UK. She is also the owner, photographer and makeover artist of 21st Century Goddess. As part of her quest to keep pinup alive she has started a group of pinups called Donovan’s Darlings. Bringing together pinups and patriotism Kate handpicks each girl for classic looks and bubbly personalities. Each of them having various occupations from Burlesque, Modelling, Office Manager and Accountant. They all bring the timeless meaning of Pin Up and cheesecake back to life extending to personal appearances, outings and events for charity, military and civilian organizations.
DDs D-Day is a ‘Supporting the Troops’ desire to help out and boost the moral and awareness of what our boys and girls of the military, not only from the UK but also America and across the world, are dealing with on a day-to-day basis. Back in the 1940’s Pin ups boosted the troops moral and now The DDs are here to do the same in the 21st Century. Kate has been affiliated with many Military departments and squadrons such as being the official Pinup for The Joint Forces Command in 2003-‘04 and ’05. As well as the pin up for the troops on USS McCampbell, USS Belleau Wood ARG and the USS Abraham Lincoln and battle group. She often sends complimentary signed pinup prints to those in service and has a web page dedicated to them all, headed “Mrs. Moral’s pic of the week!”, It showcases pinups dedicated to specific troops welcoming them home, sending them good luck or simply thanking them for their service. Growing up with a grandfather who was a career Coast Guard service man she learned at a very young age that war is never good but it is undeniable that those in service to their country deserve our thanks and support.
Willow blue of www.willowblueburlesque.com promoter of The Kissy Kat Klub and DDs, personally has a great affection for the forces. A Naval widow of five years whose husband proudly served the Navy for 14 years before he sadly died. Having sailed as a civilian aboard HMS Ark Royal and also attended the Queen Mums last ever-royal engagement, Willow Blue is 100% behind all that the DD’s believe in.
