Daisie Fairlane, Hot Rod Pin Up and Bigfoot Believer

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 you could pick one badass car from a movie that you’ve seen, to have for keeps, which one would it be and why?

That’s a hard one since there are so many great cars to choose from but, I’m going to have to go with Ronnie Howard’s ’58 Impala from the movie American Graffiti. I love the color, the stance and the clean lines. It looks and sounds tough with a bit of class. Not to mention “I just love the feel of tuck-n-roll upholstery.”

What is the weirdest, oddest, thing about you, either past or present?

Growing up in the mountains of NorCal I’m a firm believer of Sasquatch (A.K.A. Bigfoot), and I’m a germaphobe. I carry around hand sanitizer. I hate to touch door knobs and shopping carts. I’m also into roller disco.

If you could give yourself the perfect Pin Up name without being worried about what other people think, what name would you pick that would best describe you?

I think I have the perfect name, I can’t see myself with any other name. My friends started calling me Daisie in Jr. High I was always wearing “Daisy Dukes”and watching reruns of the Dukes Of Hazzard. The name’s stuck ever since…

What has been your biggest nerd moment of your life so far?

In the middle of a photo shoot I was sitting on the hood of a car that just got waxed, right when the photographer went to shoot the photo, I slid off the car. Luckily I caught myself before I ate the pavement. It was a fun experience for both me and the photographer :)

When not on your best Pin Up etiquette, what activity can you just get DOWN AND DIRTY with?

I like to rebuild engines, I enjoy looking for parts and changing things up a bit. On the weekends I enjoy Go-Go dancing at clubs to my favorite local band The Lonesome Ones, dancing up a storm… When I’m home I get down and dirty with kick boxing. It keeps me in shape and I have a bit of self defense behind me.

May Pinup of the Month – Ludella Hahn

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 you.  I don’t think I can pick just one favorite. I think this is why my portfolio has the diversity it has: I have varied tastes and a need to satiate them all. Modeling is an expression of the characters that make me and the characters I’d like to play.

Photo shoot scenario: Your only props are a man, a car, red lipstick and a bottle of motor oil. What do you do?

Hmmm… I think I would go for the “gal leaning in to apply her lipstick in the side view mirror at a service station with the service boy spilling motor oil in the background while checking out her rump” scenario. ;)

Get this print signed at Ludella’s web-store here.

Let’s be shallow for a moment. I have noticed that you have a sexy, curvaceous frame, including a voluptuous rump. Is that your favorite asset? What is your favorite thing about your physique?

Pun intended? ;) I would consider my rump to be one of my best assets, yes. I used to get made fun of in grade school when puberty gave me a butt, hips, and thighs. It wasn’t until college that I finally realized that these characteristics made me beautiful. I’m very thankful for my genetics; I like how I’m built.

For the sake of keeping it interesting, lets say you just pulled off a major heist at the MGM a la, Oceans 11. What is your choice for a getaway car?

My getaway car would be a taxi, to better blend in. Then, once successfully escaping, I would reward myself with the purchase of a 1957 black Chevy Nomad.

Do you find yourself more intrigued by the sexiness of vampires or the violent, gnarliness (I think I just made up a word) of zombies?

Vampires. I have been a vampire fan for a long time. I’m a little upset about how trendy they currently are but I still have a soft spot for a sharp pair of fangs!

You have a puppet that you use in your “Misters and Misses: Don’t miss this” show. What’s his name and what would he say about you if he were to come alive?

His name is Charlie. If he were to talk about me, he might be upset about me not playing with him more since I’ve grown up (I’ve had him since I was a kid), but I think he would comment on being happy to still be involved in my life. He might also comment on me needing to eat more than just sweets and getting more sleep on a regular basis.

Let’s talk about these ‘oddities’ that you are into. Are we talking a secret room full of bottled pig embryos? Antique electrocution devices?

I have a mechanical ape head named Henry, a two foot long lobster puppet (that has made quite a few appearances in photo shoots), and Charlie all hanging out in my living room with a stuffed squirrel and paintings by my Nana on the walls. Maybe “eccentricities” is a better word to use. I have eclectic taste and a fondness for zebra print, mahogany, and antique ceramic elephants.

If you can’t get enough of Ludella, you’re in luck. You can visit her very own website at LudellaHahn.com or catch up at  Facebook.

Huntington Beach Hot Rod Hottie – Pinup Dinah DeRosa

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 fine line between confidence and arrogance.  I can’t stand the guy who always has something to prove and gets so worked up over minor stuff, just brush it off… Life is too short!  Laziness is also a definite turn off, get up and accomplish something.

Sometimes the pin-up/rockabilly world can be a wild and crazy scene. What’s your potion of choice when partying, or do you steer clear of that world?

I can’t stand just sitting at home, I definitely get stir-crazy.  I have a few potions of choice when going out; either Makers Mark & Coke or a Don the Beachcomber Mai Tai are my favorites.

What is the most bad-ass thing you’ve ever done?

Not so sure this qualifies as “bad-ass”, but it was definitely an awesome time in my life. I got to be a part of a pit crew for a dirt track dwarf car team who raced at the Antioch Speedway in Northern California.  I LOVE racing, it was great to be more than a spectator, I learned a lot.

Which classic car would be the best fit for your personality? Why?

I grew up a country girl, so I have a soft spot in my heart for trucks and wagons; Buick wagons are gorgeous!  I’m more drawn to a classy, traditional paint job; certain cars just shouldn’t be too flashy.  I am rather picky when it comes to wheels.

Who are you exactly when you aren’t in front of the camera?

I like to think of myself as a down to earth gal, who enjoys makin’ memories with close friends and family… I love hangin’ out with my puppy Astro, and listening to good music on the ‘ol Hi-Fi.

Are any of these engines in YOUR car? Let me know!

Alot’s already been said about this crazy-green-flaked hot rod pickup, but there was more to it than just the paint.  Four singles on top of a flathead Ford turned just as many heads as the paint.

For you Oldsmobile nailhead fans, this little modified roadster was packin a full six pack! There’s a full shot of this car in the 2011 Viva Car Show Picture Gallery.
