hmm, interesting! If it's pin-up style, I would have copies of a picture of yourself to sign and give out as a joke/memento for people! Also do the whole old-school garterbelt thing,depending if you're gonna have a skirt on, maybe switch to heels for the photoshoot(have a bag with flats to change in/out of when walking) Like maybe if you're a model supporting RED/BLU? and maybe do your hair up in a similar way to the old pin-ups?
Then again,It might be the same,if not more,amount of work. You'd have to do your make-up and hair,put hose/stocking on, high-heels,and do the prop parts for grenades/etc.
Do you have a design in mind? I'm not sure if I've ever seen a demoman pinup...

Well considering 99% of the time, I cosplay Scout, I love fem and pin up versions because I love to hit on them. Awkwardness aside...

I don't usually mind fems and pin ups personally. One of my fave TF2 cosplays is actually a young lady who does the pin up you attached to the thread even. It's lovely and sexy.

The issue comes when it's obviously an easy-out. Someone who couldn't be arsed to work up a decent costume, even if it was fem or pin up. I mean I've seen some where it seemed like they had a half finished top and threw it on over one of their skirts and a pair of hooker boots.

Either way, I haven't usually seen anyone give anyone else any flack at a TF2 shoot at a con whether it was for being fem or pin up or closet... what have you. Not face-to-face. So if I were you, go ahead and go with it. Have fun. But don't be surprised if you get back online and people have said some things. Some people just aren't ever going to like fem and/or pin up no matter what.

I love the photo idea! And the garter belt! I don't really have an exact design as I've also never really seen a good Demoman pinup.

Thanks for the advice. I do already have a full Demo costume, but I was going to use certain pieces in this new rendition.

Speaking of, here is a terrible quality pic of what I was thinking about doing. I have the vest all made up and I was going to wear this short blue skirt and a tank top. I have to do one more shopping trip before the con so I was thinking of going to find a small blue dress instead. I'm wearing my pirate hooker boots, knee length and black fake leather. Not pictured is my black beanie, eye patch and long blonde wig (I just took a shower, so I didn't really want to put those on. My codpiece is currently under repair, but I actually think it looks better without it.

My grenade launcher is totally done, just not pictured.
