Rockabilly, Punk Rock, and Pinup Disney Characters

Pinup Disney

Rockabilly is the best style there is, even for cartoon characters! Here are your favorite rockabilly and pinup Disney characters done up punk rock.

If Disney princesses were the epitome of style, then it was only a matter of time before Rockabilly and Pinup Disney Characters appeared. For many Disney characters, it was only a matter of time before these sweet princesses embraced their rebellious streaks! We’ve scoured down the best images of Disney favorites decked out with tattoos, piercings, and pinup Disney prints. Enjoy.

 

 

Rockabilly and Pinup Disney Characters

1. Cinderella: Was there ever any question that Cinderella would end up being a punk rock princess? Years of being made to scrub floors and being kept from rockin’ parties would make anyone rebel.

2. Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh: Eeyore was a gloomy son of a donkey. With a tail that won’t stop falling off, Eeyore finally turned to punk rock music, leather, and piercings to lift his spirits.

3. Belle: It’s always the quiet ones who have the most spunk. Belle from Beauty and the Beast may have been a bookworm, but she was a born pinup Disney punker. She gave up her life to rescue her father, tamed a beast, hung out with enchanted household items and fell in love with a giant lion-buffalo man. Belle was always a rebel at heart and now she’s showing it.

4. Aladdin: Aladdin was the original outcast of Disney films. This “street rat” found a genie, conned his way into being a fake prince, started a war against Jafar, and still ended up winning the hot girl in the end. If that badassery doesn’t scream: “THIS DUDE NEEDS A TATTOO” we don’t know what does!

5. Alice from Alice in Wonderland: This girl was already on her way to being a rockabilly princess, she just didn’t know it yet! Who can resist alternative rockabilly fashion when you live in a world where flowers talk, Queen’s play polo with flamingo’s, and playing cards threaten your life? Things are weird enough, so you may as well be fashionable while you’re exploring.

6. Ariel: Was there ever any question that Ariel was a total badass? This mermaid made a deal with a sea witch to transform her fin into legs, kept a secret stash hidden from her father in a grotto, and obnoxiously yelled: “I’m 16 years old, I’m not a child anymore!” when being reprimanded by authority. Ariel’s

Only, you’re not sure where to put your keys, your cell phone, or anything else you couldn’t leave back in the car. The solution? Easy! Clean out an old bottle of lotion or sunscreen and use it to stash your belongings into while you’re taking a dip!

CELL PHONE BEACH HACK

You can’t head to the beach without your cell phone. How else will you be able to get those ocean blue beach selfies? But, as you might know, cell phones and water notoriously do not mix. So bring along a sealable plastic freezer bag to zip your phone into. This will help protect it from water damage.

Ever notice how when you’re ready to leave the beach, it never seems ready to leave you? Sandy skin is the worst, especially when it follows you into your car!

Rockabilly girls: Ruth Brown at Memphis Hippodrome 1950

Is there anything rockabilly girls aren’t good at? We’re looking at the top 4 females who hit it big in rockabilly music.

It may be the big names like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash who come to mind when you think of rockabilly music but have no doubt that rockabilly girls were also taking the stage with their musical talents.

From raspy rock and roll to country, blues, and rockabilly, these ladies were true talents. Without further ado, here are the top 4 females who hit it big in rockabilly music.

1. Ruth Brown


Ruth Brown was a true talent with an amazing voice that could be both raspy, smooth, squealing, and fantastic. Gorgeous Ruth Brown not only had an amazing, raspy voice that was perfect for her rock and roll/blues genre, she also had an amazing sense of fashion. Her rockabilly dresses were to die for. Talent and style? We call that a win/win.

2. Carlene Carter


It’s no wonder that Carlene Carter became a bonified rockabilly girl – it was in her blood! This country rockabilly girl is the daughter of June Carter, of Johnny Cash and June Carter, and her first husband Mr. Carl Smith. Miss Carter had catchy rhythms and brought sexy rockabilly clothing into her genre.

3. Wanda Jackson


Probably one of the biggest rockabilly girls in the industry, Wanda Jackson is a multi-talented rockabilly singer. She played the piano, guitar, and wrote her own song. Dubbed as “The Queen of Rockabilly”, Jackson hit the Top 40 charts and experienced amazing success with her music and raspy, rockabilly voice.
4. Janis Martin

Sometimes referred to as “The Female Elvis”, Janis Martin had a great sound in rockabilly music. She had fantastically catchy music that had sexy double entendres. This rockabilly girl was born in Virginia and was playing with music legends Hank Williams and Eddy Arnold at the age of 5 years old.

Never underestimate these talented pinup girls when it comes to boogying down to their own rockabilly music.

Pioneers of Rockabilly Music that changed Rock and Roll Forever

Rockabilly music came a long way and still reigns in the underbelly of rock ‘n roll riffs today. Here are 4 pioneers of Rockabilly Music.

Ever wonder who paves the way for Rockabilly clothing and music? These are the legends among legends. We’re looking at the biggest names in rockabilly music. These pioneers led the way for blues and rock and roll music to marry into the sweetest sound you’ve ever heard. Without further ado, here are some rockabilly greats.

Elvis Presley

Can a list for pioneers of rockabilly music exist without mentioning the King of Rock ‘n Roll? Elvis Presley had a humble beginning before rising to the top as the rock ‘n roll revolution began. Famous for having his shaking hips induce hysteria amongst teenage girls, Presley opened the way for black musicians at the time to join the mainstream rockabilly movement. Presley’s talented rockabilly vocals gave way to a new generation of singers who wanted to sing from the heart, dance from the hips, and give their guitars a lick to love.

Brenda Lee

Country and rockabilly had much more in common back in the 1950’s than they do today. Brenda Lee was a pioneer of female rockabilly singers. Before her rise to country radio, Lee created songs like “That’s all you gotta do” which showed off her raw vocals and rockabilly sensibilities. This made an impact on early rock ‘n roll. Brenda Lee was aptly nicknamed “Little Miss Dynamite”. Definitely a fitting title for this rockabilly mistress turned country hall of famer.

Buddy Holly

Perhaps more synonymous these days with Weezer’s aptly named single “Buddy Holly”, this rockabilly legend went from bluegrass music to a rockabilly stud. In 1957 Buddy Holly got his big break with his band The Chirping Crickets after they performed alongside Elvis Presley at a show in Texas. Performing on such programs as the Ed Sullivan show, Buddy Holly shot to the top of the charts with his single “That’ll be the Day” and was an overnight success. Eventually Holly had left his band and began recording solo music. On 1959 Buddy Holly, along with “The Big Bopper” and Ritchie Valens died in a plane crash. Buddy Holly made the most of his time in the short 18 months that he was in the rockabilly spotlight. He was an amazing writer, performer, and pioneer for rockabilly music.

Johnny Cash

Arkansas native Johnny Cash is one of the biggest names in rockabilly music. Determined to make a name for himself, Cash taught himself to play guitar and let his hooks and hits flow out. Sometimes referred to as an Outlaw, Johnny Cash was no stranger to drama in his personal and professional life. This rockabilly legend used to play prisons and sold out shows with his love and fellow singer June Carter. With over 15 million records sold he more than succeeded in his career.
