Hot Rod Pinup Daisie Fairlane Hot blonde, Check. Hot blonde who like cars, check. Hot blonde who likes to drive and work on cars? CHECK.. This Barris Spokesmodel (as in George Barris) embodies that perfect hot rod pinup persona. Smokin' hourglass figure with platinum blonde hair and a no holds barred attitude when it comes to her rides. She knows what she likes... classics... and she's not afraid to tell you she's, let's say, not a fan of the whole import and "Fast and Furious" scene. She likes to feel steel under the hood and vinyl under her, well, bum. The only thing that might stand between Daisie and her dream car would be Bigfoot himself. Photo shoot Scenario: What do you do with these only props- a car, a paintbrush, some paint... In this scene I picture Route 66. An abandoned gas station in the middle of nowhere. The car is broke down with the hood up. Instead of fixing the car I'm painting the gas station, in the reflection of the car you see me holding the brush and the gas station is back to its heyday... If...

Hot Rod Pinup Ludella Hahn If you're a fan of Modern Pinup and you told me you don't know who Ludella Hahn is, I'd ask you what rock you were living under. If an award for "America's Sweetheart of Fetish Models" existed, I'm pretty sure Ludella would win it, atleast in my book... She's been in Retro Lovely magazine numerous times, and can be seen modeling on countless Pin Up clothing sites. Besides that, Ludella stars in many hot, sizzling, and tantalizing burlesque shows and it's really no wonder why. Ludella boasts a curvaceous physique with a bright and sparkling imagination to match. Anything different and unique is what fuels this Pin Up and really gets her engine roarin'. This Pinup gone wild has an affinity for oddities or as Ludella calls them 'eccentricities' and has a major case of  'puppet love' - which you will understand after you read my interview with her.You can check out her photos from recent shows on her website which is linked at the end of this story. You have an amazingly diverse portfolio of work. What is your favorite type of modeling? Thank...

Hot Rod Pinup Dinah Derosa This week's smokin'  hot pinup, is none other than Dinah Derosa. Dinah is featured below in photos brought to you by Pin Up Photographer extraordinaire Mitzi Valenzuela of Mitzi&Co. Dinah is a lady who knows what she wants and I'd put my money on the fact that she knows how she's gonna get it! Her devilish, sexy smirk may get you, or maybe it's her gorgeous aqua colored eyes? Whatever the case, be sure to check out her photos, and also read her interview with me- if you can take your eyes off of her long enough... So first off, are you taken or lookin' for love? I am happily taken. What about a man is a major turn on for you? Turn offs? The biggest turn on to me is someone who basically has their act together.  When a man is full of drive and grabs life by the horns, it makes for a lot of excitement.  I also like when a guy takes good care of himself, he's gotta have hobbies, and no prissy boys!  Intellect is a HUGE turn on. As for turn off's, there's a...

2011 Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Car Show At any car show, you'll always have your favorites. Of course this is true with Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender where the car show, "officially" only runs for Saturday, but there's tons of smooth kustoms and nostalgic hot rods to see starting from Thursday. While you're there, grab a beer, say hi to just about anyone you see cause chances are they're there to have a good time and most car people like to talk about their rides. Or bring beer with you and you'll suddenly have tons of new friends! So here's an overview of the cars I like best. If you agree or not, let me know. If you're the owner and I didn't get a chance to say hi, please leave a comment and more info about your ride. If you can, say why, "My Ride is Me". Let's start with the unusual! (or you could say the coolest 1961 Plymouth Fury I've ever seen!) Through my near legendary Google'n skillz, I found out this is a 1961 Plymouth Fury hardtop coupe. The bright orange paint looked stunning in...

Hot Rod Pinup Ms. Natosha Straight from the pages of Mitzi&Co's 2011 Calendar, Ms. Natosha hails from CA, raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. That means this Pin Up is no stranger to the slopes... In fact, she's a Snow Bunny- an avid snowboarder of 10 years. You might remember seeing Ms. Natosha if you were at the Sacramento Autorama the last two years because she won the Pinup Contest her first year then was the host of this years contest. Then from the title, you might have guessed, Ms. Natosha is an instructor, so that explains the age old teacher/student fantasies that may pop up when you get a glimpse of her... She teaches art, but also certain 'positions'. Read my Q&A with Natosha below while checkin' out her photos, by Pin Up photographer Mitzi Valenzuela. When I met you, you seemed like you could be "America's Sweetheart"! You're such a little sweet thing! I'm curious to know if you have a dark side. What is the most trouble you've ever gotten into? Besides a few speeding tickets, the most trouble I have been in would have to be when I got caught...

Hot Rod Pinup Shelby Loveland If you're into pin-ups, you've probably seen Shelby Loveland around. She's a fantastic model, who models swimsuits from Vintage Suits by Mary, and there's a great reason for that... Not only does this girl have the perfect retro look, but she's also a fit model, a champion cyclist and diver! She's been on the cover of Car Kulture Deluxe, and can be seen cruising in her very own Ford Falcon. Check out my Q&A with Shelby below to read up on her guilty pleasure as well as how this tough girl got her teeth knocked out! What was the most creative pick up line you ever heard at a car show? Did it work? "You're like Gillette, the best a man can get." Oh no, lol it was flattering but awkward and the guy was like fifteen. There was another time I was out on a bike ride and some guys in a car started staring at me and making comments, then they crashed right into the car that was stopped in front of them. You're a Champion Cyclist, Springboard Diving Champion, Fit model....

Hot Rod Pinup Michelle Larae Michelle Larae LOVES Vegas, her hometown for most of her life. It's no wonder with it's flashing lights, celebrities, and gambling, but Michelle loves Vegas for its old, downtown historical charm as well. Michelle stays super active, and can be seen across Vegas getting into trouble at local bars and doing a ton of different things from bowling every Monday night to cruising around town with her bike gang "Hammer and Cycle". Michelle is currently having her own Ford truck built for her. Read below to get to know this bombshell a little bit better and check out some awesome photos by Photographer Trent Sherrill. Hot pinup girl, drving a hot truck... not sure if it gets much better than that. What part of you does your truck represent? Well for starters... it couldn't be more girlie! Cotton candy pink, metal flake and sparkles everywhere - and lace! So you're an avid bowler... would you say you can get competitive? Crazy competitive (a la Monica from Friends) or healthy competitive? Competitive... YES! I'm a Taurus, it's in our nature... even when we aren't good at something (such as...

Hot Rod Pinup Megan O'Mary Megan is the epitome of, "the girl next door" complete with an affinity towards sci-fi and horror films and her own perspective on alien abductions!  Looking closer at this sweet and sassy little pinup, we find she's really "the girl next door" with a twist. Soon to be 21 year old Megan O'Mary is not afraid to tell you what's on her mind or to put herself in the spotlight. Her tattoos and crimson red hair make Megan stand out in a crowd and it's a combination of her great looks and her winning personality and charm that helped Megan score the title of Miss Grand National Roadster Show 2011. If you missed the pinup contest, check out her photos below and her  interview from 'outta this world' with me. Congrats on your pinup contest win at the 2011 GNRS. Speaking of cars...This question might make some of the guys cringe - but how would you customize your own 55 Chevy to make it the ultimate girl-mobile? I LOVE 55 Chevys but I am a girly girly but not that much! I'd probably deck it out...

Hot Rod Pinup Nikki Napalm I recently got the chance to talk with Nikki Napalm, the lovely pinup model you see here. We met Nikki when she entered our pinup contest to win a coveted spot in Retro Lovely magazine. Although Nikki didn't win our contest this time, she proved to us she could do it on her own, with her fiery hair, colorful tattoos, sex appeal and a rockin' personality. Nikki landed her own spread in issue FIVE of Retro Lovely with these bright and brilliant images by DCImagery. Purchase your own copy here and enter code MRIM to save $2 . Nikki talks to me about all kinds of things, and explains why she may not be who we think she is, in her photos. Read my interview with Nikki Napalm below, and check out some great eye candy. We see pin up girl/alt model - Nikki Napalm in your photos (super hot and artistic). Tell us who you are when your not posing in front of the lens. I’m a total goody two shoes. You’d never guess by the way I look, but I’m religious, I’ve never smoked, drank...

Straight from Dallas Texas, I bring you Hellkitten. This curvaceous pin up boasts some super hot pinstriping - on her body. Hellkitten is not just another pretty face in the crowd. She proudly owns and operates her own online clothing store HellkittenOriginals.com She showcases her work with amazing photos and you can really see how her love for cars inspired her style and the details of her webstore. Hellkitten has told me in our interview below how her affection for cars began, and why she loves them so much. All though she's a clothing designer and looks hot in latex and heels, there is a much 'tougher' side to Hellkitten. She's a a representative for Pinups for Pittbulls, the organization that strives to set the record straight on Pittbulls and the bad rap they have picked up over the years, (by using some great imagery of sexy pin up girls and their prized pooches, you can order the calendar here.) It's no doubt these dogs are tough, but the tough part about that job is getting the point across. I truly admire anyone who goes out of there way...
