Ladies, this is your chance to grab that cover and be crowned as Miss Pin Up America at the 1st Annual American Pin Up Burlesque Festival in Ybor City, Florida! We will be having a whirlwind of a good time on Friday, March 23rd!

The Pageant is 4 stages outlined below. Each stage will involve contestants showing off their pin up skills along with their personalities! This is where you showcase your beauty and brains and convince the judges why you should be Miss Pin Up America 2012!

_STAGES:

1. Casual - any period correct look 1920s-1970s. Does not need to be period correct (ie: vintage) clothing. Show us that you know what a gal would wear to kick back and relax, the era is your choice!

2. Talent - What do you have, ladies? Show us! This isn't just a
place for performance, so get creative gals and show us
what makes you stand out!

3. Swimsuit - The name of this game is CLASS and not TRASH! As any good pin up knows, what is left to the imagination may be the sexiest! String bikinis and thongs should be left at home, please.

4. Evening - any period correct evening/ballroom look pre1970. Similar to the first stage except this will include the QUESTION AND ANSWER portion of the pageant. This question may be about yourself, your opinions, pin up art/history, etc... so be prepared to sparkle and shine with body AND mind!
