These ladies make care packages (with pictures included of course) and send them out to show a little love and care to our troops overseas.<\/p>\n<p>We all know of the WWII pinup being used to boost troops moral and I think it\u2019s really cool that these ladies aren\u2019t just posing but they\u2019re very active in finding other ways to support guys who are working to defend the ol\u2019 USofA. Their care packages deliver not just pictures,  baked goodies, and other useful stuff &#8211; but they deliver a message to the fellas that people back home are thinking of them and are very grateful for their service.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3771 alignright\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"pinupangelskitty2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/pinupangelskitty2.jpg\" alt=\"pinupangelskitty2\" width=\"274\" height=\"402\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I was fortunate enough to get a chance to talk to <a title=\"Pinup model Angel\" href=\"http:\/\/www.misskittybaby.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Miss Kitty Baby<\/a>, the Pinup Angel\u2019s leading lady, while at Viva Las Vegas. With tattoos and bright red hair, she\u2019s not your average 1940s girl \u2013 but she definitely has the old-fashioned, caring &#8220;heart of gold&#8221; we\u2019d like to imagine all pinups have.<\/p>\n<p>Coming from a military service herself (she was a Marine!), Miss Kitty has always been community-oriented. So after putting in her years of service and donating her own money she wanted to find a new way to stir up support for the troops and recruit others along the way. So in June of 2007 she put the word out and started gathering other pin-ups to her cause. Based out of Seattle, the Pinup Angels now have 25 regular volunteers who get together every couple months. They&#8217;ve sent overseas a whooping 1300 care packages! Not only do they send care packages but they also show up at tons of different events to fundraise, meet people, and have fun.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a whole lotta lovin&#8217;! So as we celebrate these holidays of freedom- after the barbecue&#8217;s over head on over to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thepinupangels.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\">The Pinup Angels <\/a>and find out how you can support these hard working pinups with what they do.  In fact, in May if you subscribe to <a title=\"Free Magazines to support troops\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bachelorpadmagazineonline.com\/#More\" target=\"_blank\">Bachelor Pad magazine<\/a> through the angel&#8217;s site (this issue featuring the lovely <a title=\"Pinup Model of the month\" href=\"http:\/\/berniedexter.com\/\" target=\"_self\">Bernie Dexter<\/a>) they&#8217;ll donate 5 magazines to be added to care packages &#8211; what a deal!<\/p>\n<p>Chances are you&#8217;ll be able to find these gals at any number of car shows throughout the year. And I guarantee &#8211; they&#8217;re even more lovely in person than they are in the photos!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3813 alignleft\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"pinupangelsviva\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/pinupangelsviva.jpg\" alt=\"pinupangelsviva\" width=\"350\" height=\"271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/pinupangelsviva.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/pinupangelsviva-150x116.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/pinupangelsviva-300x232.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So a big thanks out there to all the folks who&#8217;ve served our country and thanks to Miss Kitty and all the ladies of The Pinup Angels for makin&#8217; patriotism look so good&#8230; keep up the good work!<\/p>\n<p>Happy Trails!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<a title=\"Custom Garage at MyRideisMe\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Garage\/GreaseGirl\/\" target=\"_blank\">GreaseGirl<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mr_social_sharing_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Sharing Toolkit v2.2 --><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.myrideisme.com%2FBlog%2Fpinup-angels%2F&amp;media=&amp;description=Gettin%E2%80%99+Patriotic+with+The+Pinup+Angels\" class=\"pin-it-button\" count-layout=\"none\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/PinExt.png\" title=\"Pin It\" \/><\/a><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><fb:share-button type=\"button_count\" href=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/pinup-angels\/\"><\/fb:share-button><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"horizontal\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/pinup-angels\/\" data-via=\"myrideisme\" data-text=\"Gettin\u2019 Patriotic with The Pinup Angels\"><\/a><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><div class=\"g-plusone\" data-size=\"medium\" data-annotation=\"none\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/pinup-angels\/\"><\/div><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a class=\"mr_social_share_email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Gettin\u2019 Patriotic with The Pinup Angels&amp;body=https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/pinup-angels\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-sharing-toolkit\/images\/icons_small\/email.png\" class=\"nopin\" alt=\"Email\" title=\"Email\"\/><span class=\"mr_small_icon\">Email<\/span><\/a><\/a><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"linksalpha_button linksalpha_link\" href=\"\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/social\/mobile\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/pinup-angels\/\" data-text=\"Gettin\u2019 Patriotic with The Pinup Angels\" data-desc=\"2010 Pin-up Girl Wall Calendars As Memorial Day and July 4th are sparkin\u2019 up our summers \u2013 let me introduce some gals who are sparkin\u2019 up some TLC for our boys serving overseas.
