We were announced, one by one, so we could say hello to the crowd, and tell a little about ourselves. The contest show time was 11am, but again, with all the photos being taken of the 8 participants by professionals and novice alike, we were a bit late. Some of these women go from car show to car show, and contest to contest and win them! I had no idea, not surprised though.
PINUPGIRLS 2017 PROFESSIONAL
There are professional pinups out there, like Cherry Dollface, Miss Rockabilly Ruby, and Ginger Watson, all of whom I found on YouTube. And it really is a whole world, a whole community and lifestyle. So again, in true Jen fashion, I researched like none other about the pinup contest world. I had no idea how I would be judged, and what the criteria really was. Every year I thought about it, but couldn't. I did not have the confidence years ago to enter a contest like that, so I blew it off. I was not asked again, and was a bit heartbroken. Ok, I think, this is too cool! I decide the next person who asks if I won, I would say yes! Then another stranger asked if I won the pin up contest. What? There's a pinup contest?! I had no idea! So I replied no, I did not win, but thank you for the compliment. The best part, and if you know anything about me this is so obvious: the hair and makeup! I have gotten good with pin curls, winged liner, and ruby red lips.įive years ago, someone asked me if I won the pinup contest.

Year after year I would dress up in a pencil skirt, or high wasted shorts, corset, and high high heels. This is an annual car show that bring the vintage car community and pinups together, and something my family looks forward to each summer. It all started almost ten years ago, when I went to my first Peggy Sue Car Show and Cruise in Santa Rosa, CA. I feel like I need a better pinup name though! I have been making all sorts of big, fun, and even life changing decisions lately - one if which is deciding to embrace my inner pinup, Lady Lipstick.
