Miss Pinup Australia QLD Finals

With Pixie Roberts, founder and operator of Miss Pinup Australia


Wow wow wow!! If you've never been to a Miss Pinup Australia contest & you love vintage...well let me tell you YOU GOTTA GO!!


As minor sponsors of the contest we were treated to tickets, but also having had many of the entrants seek our advice & purchase their outfits and props from us, we wanted to see 'our girls' in action!


So what's it all about??

A national competition designed to 'bring out your inner pinup', it has a heavy emphasis on vintage glamour, inner beauty & just being a damn nice person to boot.

And while yes it is indeed a competition, unlike most it is open to women of all ages and sizes- and yes even to men!

There are 6 categories in which to compete. Miss Va-Va Voom, for size 14-+, Miss Neo, for those who wish to put a modern spin on the vintage pinup, Miss Perfect, for those under 30, Miss Classic for those 30-40, Miss Prestige, for those over 40, & Miss Illustrated, for the inked girls among us.

Girls compete at a state level then the winners in each category from each state go on to compete in the national finals to be held in Sydney this coming April.

You'll understand why this post is a bit pic-heavy as you scroll down, with so many amazing girls, outfits and poses to choose from, I think I'm glad I'm not a man or I might have gone crazy- the atmosphere was electric enough for me as it was!

Electing to sit with my friends rather than at the sponsors table gave me a rather poor view, so many of the pics you see here are used with permission from the official MPA QLD sponsor pinup photography specialist, Street Candy.

Admittedly the pics here are just a small few of the girls we had the privilege of seeing perform; to see more go to the official Street Candy website, trust me get yourself ready for an eyeload of vintage glam.
