I was born to be a pinup, I am an old soul with a little rebellious heart. Born and raised in beautiful So Cal Long Beach, CA. I grew up thinking Elvis Presley was my first love, I fell asleep listening to classic oldies music. My fondest memories were watching my older brother working on his poppy red Mustang and playing the guitar.
I first entered the pinup world in 2011. My first pinup pageant was in 2012 where I placed 3rd. In December 2012, I was the cover girl for Drive-In Magazine. But by far the highlight back then was becoming a calendar girl for Mitzi’s 10 year anniversary; I was Miss December 2014!
That same year I got married; that’s when I took a break from the pinup world as I entered the newlywed stage. I had just graduated with my Masters from USC and somehow I landed a corporate sales job working for Anheuser-Busch! I began selling beer for a living! Flash forward a little shy of 10 years and here I am… my come back. Two children later and now working for a local micro brewery and starting my own entertainment business. I went to the Bonneville Salt Flats for Speed Week with Mitzi and Co for the first time this year. What an amazing experience that was. I cannot wait to go back next year, and I hope to meet you all there, it’s going to be epic. Until then follow me on my adventures on instagram @beerwenchstephanie.
