Hot Rod Pin-up Calendar
If you’re a poker player, peaking at your cards and seeing pocket aces, or in five card draw holding a set on the deal, you’re feeling like you can’t lose… Same thing’s true with pinup photographer Mitzi’s 2012 Pinup calendar. Mitzi’s a long time friend of MyRideisMe.com shooting and sharing pinups and the best hot rods custom cars from SoCal and beyond. Now she’s delivering 12 months of hot rod pinups for your viewing pleasure.
I just called for service, beer’s on the house… tilt one back and check out the winning hand below.
On the cover shown above is the lovely Miss Doris Mayday. Also seen as Miss September, Doris is welcoming you to Vegas in front of the Wild Cad hailing from Australia. Featured in magazines and online everywhere, owner Mario Colalillo’s 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville has every mod and custom trick available and thanks to legendary customizer and painter Gene Winfield, has an amazing purple fade paint job. When you see Doris dealt face up like this… raise.
Next up is Miss April, simply known as Mosh. Look closely and there’s 3 tons of 1950 Cadillac built by Rick Dore there too. Mitzi says Mosh is one of her favorite models… could easily be one of mine too… (“pair of queens would be too obvious…) I’ll call Mosh my Bad Beat. Everybody at the table wins.
Next up is Miss February, pinup model Kelsey Alexandra. (I know April’s after Feb… but I’m the one holding the cards here…) Kelsey’s rocking the seriously channeled 32 Ford hot rod pickup called, “Floorless” shot at Gary Chopit’s shop in Stanton, CA. With her lips saying, “kiss me” and her eyes saying, “I’ll never tell…” she’s gotta be the queen of hearts.
Dealing from the bottom of the deck straight to Miss March, we see the lovely Firme Hyna. Teaming up with Mitzi at the Ink-n-Iron show, Firme’s ride’n shotgun in Shawn Phelps’ 1960 Chevy wagon. Don’t be afraid of a long roof with gold paint! Any time you’re ride’n in a wagon, that’s the wild card!
All eyes are on Miss December Erica Vaughn and the timeless Mooneyes digger shot in front of their shop in Santa Fe Springs, CA. (Searching for clever card or gambling reference now… nobody’s reading this anyway… suggestions?) Draw another card and see Erica as MyRideisMe.com’s October Pinup of the Month.
Coming full circle to Washington state native and Miss January, introducing Miss Melanie Lacy. Always searching for nostalgic backdrops for her shoots, Mitzi shot her first pinup set with Melanie at the Early Ford Store in San Dimas, CA. They hit it off so well, Melanie stacks the deck for the whole year, right from the start.
Thanks for ignoring my words while you dreamed of owning Mitzi’s hot 2012 Pinup Calendar. Don’t dream, my friends, make it real! Visit Mitzi’s website or find Mitzi at several hot rod and custom car shows in California, (Like Grand National Roadster Show coming up!) to buy her 11×17 wire bound, high quality calendar. Like a hand holding “queens full” you can’t lose!
Nikki Napalm – March Pin Up of the Month

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 alcohol, or done drugs. I’m a loyal woman with a heart of gold and a good head on her shoulders. I like the shock value and contrast of my look with my value systems. I’m very focused on my future and want to make sure I have a clear head to see it through. Being healthy from the inside out is important to me, I feel like I have a lot to live for and a lot to look forward to and I don’t need anything getting in my way.
We hear of guys crushing on girls with red hair. What’s your deal with red headed guys, why do you find them irresistible??
Some people think it’s silly, but I have a mad thing for redheaded, fair-skinned, freckled guys… gingers. I guess you could call it somewhat of a fetish, but it’s innocent. To me, those features are rare and exotic… and if he’s tall and tattooed, he can just about stop my heart! There’s one fella in particular that I’m looking for too, but I don’t know his name. I just have seen him at a couple car shows and have been too shy to go up and talk to him.
So tell us how geeky can you get? Star Wars Geeky or World of Warcraft Geeky?
Haha, neither! I’m a horror geek! I totally nerd out on scary movies. Some of my favorite films are Hellraiser (1, and 2), Re-Animator, Evil Dead, Dead Alive, Dawn of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead, and Creepshow. I live for 80‘s cheesy slasher horror. The more blood and guts the better. The 1980′s seem to be when the melding of a decent plot and good special-FX makeup came into play. Before that, you could just tell how fake everything was, or the story line wasn’t very interesting, the movie was too slow or long, etc. I’m equally into sci-fi and suspense though too; it’s the best when a director combines all those elements, like the movie CUBE: that’s my all time favorite movie.

Pinstriped Pin Up Heats up the Garage
March 12, 2011 by Aubrey London · 2 Comments
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 for the well being of these animals. (yes, you guessed it, I am a pitbull owner myself)
Enough of me yammering on let’s get to the meat and gravy of this story, the interview and the amazing photos of Hellkitten taken by pin up photographer, Viva Van Story.
I’d like to get your take on why Pin Ups and Hot rods go so well together. What is it about the duo that have stood the test of time?
I think its all about the curves. The curves of the pin up compliment the curves on the car. Attitude too… you can really convey a true scene by the attitude the model has with the car. Plus who doesn’t want to see a pretty girl with a hot car?
You have some amazing “Pinstriping” on your body, and it’s really sexy. Also, a mark of a true car enthusiast. What inspired your love for Rods and Customs?
I was raised a car girl. My father was a car fan and my next door neighbor growing up built street rods. Being a nosey girl I was constantly over there asking “Whats that” and “Make the car loud” and silly things like that. I really learned a lot between my neighbor and my father and learned a true appreciation for classic cars (not to mention lots of impressive car facts) My neighbor even inspired me to learn welding.
You had mentioned something to me about latex. Teehee… you have to tell me the whole story! What is it about latex and a sweaty, hot body?
Well… this is an embarrassing one! The first time I shot with latex it was summer & we shot outside. Lets just say once you get sweaty, the latex shifts, so all kinds of wardrobe malfunctions were happening. Then (this is the best part) when I went to take off the items, they made some very strange & obscene sounding noises while I was pulling the clothing off. Its was really funny, but embarrassing at the time being with people I didn’t know well! Needless to say- we are all great friends now… and I like to shoot latex in the winter now! ha ha ha!
For the record, curling iron or blow torch?
Oooh thats a tough one……..torch… every time… and for the record…. acetylene. That’s my favorite!
Not only just a pretty face, you own and operate your own line of clothing called Hellkitten Originals. How did that venture come to be?
I studied fashion design in college and I always loved recreating vintage 50′s designs. I made a large majority of my pin up modeling wardrobe and many people asked where they could get them. So in early 2009 Hellkitten original was born. I noticed girls in the pin up scene are all shapes & sizes, so that is when I started doing custom items. There is no greater thrill to me than to have a client that cannot buy items “off the rack” receive my clothing & it fits them like a glove. Every woman is beautiful and they deserve to look that way too!

Beautiful Pinups in Print

You can’t hang your computer on your wall or toolbox! If you need more Pin Ups in your life, look no further than the pages of Retro Lovely.

So far the cover shots have featured Pin Up mega stars like Masuimi Max, Mosh Modela and Gia Genevieve. Trust me, there’s much more great content inside, and many more fantastic issues to come. This is the perfect magazine for Pin Up fans who love top quality Pin Up imagery and style.
Mega-gorgeous Pinup Notorious Ang
The first time I picked up a copy I was blown away by the quality of the magazine itself. Over 100 pages per issue, printed on thick, heavy, photo quality paper. There’s a clear difference between this magazine and others on the market. I’ve even seen photo books, that weren’t up to par with the quality of this magazine. Each magazine is unique and each has something to offer, but this one’s my favorite and I look forward to every new issue.
Have a look at Retro Lovely Magazine and view photos of your favorite Pin Up models printed in vivid color… what a difference! You have to see it to believe it. I said it before and I’ll say it again, I believe this to be the best Pin Up magazine out.
With issue #4 due out soon, Retro Lovely has kept customers happy… so happy that almost every issue has sold out. You can purchase your copy of Issue#4 now, but don’t forget to pick up the prior issues including the Taboo edition, which includes all the hot and steamy images Retro Lovely has to leave out of the regular issues. You don’t want to miss out on that!
MyRideisMe is thrilled to announce our collaboration with Retro Lovely Magazine to bring you the best pinups and… together we’ll be hosting a pinup contest. The winner of the MyRideisMe.com pinup contest will be featured in a two page spread in the 5th issue of Retro Lovely Magazine.
