Let’s Talk About the Honeys

Now, onto my favorite part—the pinups. One of the absolute best things about hitting the hot rod circuit is catching up with my fellow glam queens and meeting new fabulous faces. There’s always a quick moment to snag a photo, make a memory, or link up for future projects.

PSA for the Sweethearts

I attend these shows for fun, not as a business booth. If I whip out my camera, cool. If I don’t, also cool. But please, do not approach me and ask me to take your photos during the event—it kills the vibe faster than a dead battery. Let’s just enjoy the day, share a laugh, and maybe snag a selfie if the moment strikes.

Hot Rods + Pinups = Art

Why do these two pair so well? Easy. Both are bold. Both are beautiful. Both demand attention. A classic car and a stunning pinup together? That’s not just a photo—that’s a mood. Think of it like a museum, but louder, shinier, and with better eyeliner.
