Contest Description

Classic beauties wanted for Misfit Gearheads Pinup Contests! Get ready to strut your stuff on the main stage!


It’s your chance to win the crown and other fabulous prizes. Contest registration is free; however, general admission to the host events may be required. All we ask is that you read the rules below, submit your registration form with picture, and of course get your best Pinup attire together!


A Pinup tattoo is one of the most iconic tattoo designs. Made popular by World War II as a morale booster for troops overseas. “As a good luck charm, a beautiful woman would be painted on the side of an airplane, on a ship, or tattooed upon someone’s body.” The Pinup was a symbol of home. “The pinup was the combination of a pretty girl and something familiar, a reminder of a normal life. Something you could carry with you."


We are looking for a Pinup who can carry herself in a crowd, someone who is positive, professional, kind and compassionate. While all of you have your dashing attributes, this is not a contest based solely on popularity or cosmetic appeal, but also on individuals who support those around them. Winners will be chosen based on a panel of judges. Judges will rank contestants based on appearance (outfit, hair, makeup, shoes & ability to accessorize with authentic accessories), attitude & personality, and overall ability to appeal to a crowd.


“So set your Victory Rolls and find that perfect shade of lipstick. Smooth down that pencil skirt or fluff up that crinoline, because the stage is waiting! Don’t forget to bring that sweet and bright personality with you!”
