The Flying Pinup

February 9, 2020 - 4.06am

Have you ever heard of the pinup scene? Neither had we. If you're into vintage style and wartime memorabilia, this might just be your thing.

The Flying Pinup has taken a step back in time to bring 1950s sexy back. Kelly has lived the vintage life since finding the pinup community in her high school years at the Gold Coast's 'Coolie Rocks Festival'.

While working at a retro clothing store, Kelly heard customers mention 'Pin Up Competitions' and she knew she'd have to have a go. The pinup community is about more than a style, it's a creative outlet reflecting a particular way of life. Her love for vintage aviation has revitalised the world of warbird pinups and she is a huge advocate for women in aviation. Competing internationally in Pinup competitions, Kelly is currently doing things her way as Miss Pinup International and Miss Viva Las Vegas.

If the nostalgic scene rocks your socks, check out Kelly's website and socials. There are retro events all around Australia.
