Marilyn was one. Betty Grable and Rita Hayworth were, too, with Bettie Page being one of the naughtiest. Everybody loves a pin-up girl, and now’s your chance to pose with the best!

Come on out to NYC’s longest running honky tonk, the Rodeo Bar, for a night of rockabilly music and a retro pin-up girl revue! The Rodeo Bar features cold beer, hot Tex-Mex cuisine and no cover charge – and, on Saturday, May 11th, plays host to a pin-up girl contest, courtesy of famed, internationally published pin-up photographer Viva Van Story, with live music from NYC’s best-dressed rockabilly trio, Susquehanna Industrial Tool & Die Co.

Come join us at the Rodeo Bar show in New York City on May 11th at 10pm and see our 10 Pinup Finalists compete for the PINUP Title.  Viva and her savvy panel of judges will Pick 3 winners from the ten entrants at the Rodeo Bar Saturday Night, where the gal with the cutest, classic pin-up personality will win a boatload of nifty prizes! The Grand Prize includes a personalized pin-up shoot with Viva Van Story (a $600 value, no less), including hair, makeup and styling ($150) – the results of which will appear in the winner’s very own feature in an upcoming edition of Retro Lovely Magazine, 100 gift certificate from What Katie Did and some prizes from Brooklyn’s Slapback Vintage Store! Everyone wins, though, and runner-ups will receive their own copy of Viva’s latest book, “Sheer”, along with other fun stuff.

So, whether you’re a pin-up in waiting or else just looking to cheer on your favorite, come join us at the Rodeo Bar on May 11th!
