I first bumped into Ms. Zoe Scarlett while looking for a great hot rod pinup picture to use for the very first MyRideisMe.com flier ever made. Graphic artist and Photographer Dirk Behlau kindly let the tiny web start-up use his image. That black hot rod with stunning blond featured Zoe Scarlett who is now the June Pinup of the Month. * How'd you become a pinup? Is pinup big in Switzerland? I took my first pin-up pictures in my boyfriend’s garage on a very cold day in January. I wanted to surprise him with some cute pictures when he returned from his holiday. I never thought that this would be my future career! At the same time, Switzerland’s most famous newspaper, BLICK, advertised a contest called ‘the cutest neighbor’. I spontaneously decided to take part in the contest and sent in the pictures I’d made for my boyfriend. Two days later, there was a huge picture of me on the cover of Switzerland’s BLICK! Well, that was the beginning of my pin-up modeling career! * What's your favorite pinup picture ever? That’s a hard question, during my career as...
May Pinup of the Month – Candace Campbell
posted by pikesan
I saw Ms. Candace at the Pinupalooza show during Viva Las Vegas, but I didn't know it since she didn't have the stunning red hair in the picture below. Plus, when flanked by hotties like Sabina Kelly, Dayna Delux and Heidi Van Horne, it's easy to get distracted. None the less we're friends now and here's some info about May's Pinup of the Month: Candace Campbell. I was born in a small Louisiana parish. You're looking at a genuine born and raised southern belle. Since I was little I've been amazed by the mysterious blues lounge singers of new Orleans and fascinated with the glamorous vintage Hollywood and retro pin up style of the 40s. This explains why I am able to capture that classic essence so comfortably. I am a mix of the two worlds. I was inspired by the bravery of elegance of Bettie Page, Marilyn Monroe, and Audrey Hepburn to name a few. I began collecting vintage clothes from the 1920's through the 1950's and learned about the details of dressing vintage from head to toe. I found out that not only were women dressed perfectly,...

posted by Mitzi
Hot Rod Pinup Angela Ryan Cruising the Grand National Roadster show and having a great time with my photo partner Swanee, we both stopped in our tracks when we saw the amazingly beautiful Angela Ryan posing next to a super cool laid-out custom owned by Geno Dipol the publisher from Ol' Skool Rodz. Shortly after we caught our breath and moved through the crowd, we noticed our friend Mitzi shooting the pics. That's when I knew Angela would be our very next Pinup of the Month. Working with Mitzi is great cause she's a fantastic photographer (cars and pinups!) and she's professional and fun to work with at the same time. I'm lucky to have her help with these photos and interview with Angela. Thanks Mitzi! (http://www.MitziandCo.com) How long have you been modeling?

Dayna Delux – October Pinup of the Month
posted by pikesan
For some reason, the "Pinup of the Month" feature here at MyRideisMe.com has been very popular! We only feature beautiful pinup models posed next to the hottest hot rods and custom cars. Enjoy October's Hot Rod pinup: Dayna Delux. A keen eye will notice Dayna featured on the home page riding a broom (by Mehosh studios). I first noticed her on the cover of the December 2007 Sport Truck Magazine. Her subtle but sexy red hair and dazzling blue eyes drew me right in. You can see her in tons of magazines now as one of the top pinup models going. She's on 10 covers now including: Barracuda, CK Deluxe, Sport Truck, Rockabilly (2 times), Hot Rod Deluxe, Ace Magazine, College Times, Cheers, Auto Art. Starting off doing a shoot for a friend doing makeup, she then worked for that photographer and then another. Pretty soon, Dayna found herself in demand and traveling for shoots. She says, "We always have a good time. I'm a goof and like making people laugh but I remain professional." This super hot photo was taken by Shannon Brooke Imagery for Pinup Girl Clothing....
September Pinup of the Month-Victoria Vengeance
posted by pikesan
These pictures of Victoria Vengeance posed next to Bo Huff's 1950 Mercury custom say cool and caution at the same time. Heavy on the caution cause the MyRideisMe.com pick for September Pinup of the month is only partly a pinup model. She's primarily a burlesque performer and a lucha libra wrestler! In her words, "Yes, I'll kick your ass and look hot while doing it." That link above is wikopedia's explanation of lucha libra wrestler. I had no idea. Now we know she's interesting, sexy and I imagine fun at a party! I mean, could she be uptight and no fun and wrestle? Plus the burlesque performing lets you know, she's got confidence. I like confidence. Get to know Victoria at her Lucha VaVoom web page, Lucha Hot-ness or you can also see her at her myspace page. If you'd like to see a clip of her burlesque, try her myspace page or any of the shows she's got planned. Her burlesque is, "A fusion of traditional striptease and dynamic theatrical-style." Starting the month of October with a performance at The Bordello with the Devils Playground, then Masque on...
