<p>I agree with you re: this. We (Me, Micheline, PUG in general) have been asked in the past to sponsor and judge pinup contests, we;ve also been asked by fans, customers and models for vote for them in Pinup contests. We make it a rule to stay away from them in general. The main reason being that the contest format is usually problematic in some way. We don't like "cheer" based contests where the winners are the ones who can bring the most people to the event to make the most noise for them.…</p>

We don't like "cheer" based contests where the winners are the ones who can bring the most people to the event to make the most noise for them. We certainly don't like the ones that are an objectification-fest, like the ones you describe. Since we can never tell if the contest will be awesome or dissapointing, we figure its best to stay away in general. However I think it's a great idea to critique the contests that come around, and help set the standard for what a fun-for-everyone pinup contest would look like <3</p> Pageants are a great way for…tag:www.pinupgirlstyle.com,2014-06-29:6504043:Comment:3406122014-06-29T03:38:23.708ZKitten Monroehttp://www.pinupgirlstyle.com/profile/KittenMonroe
<p>Pageants are a great way for aspiring artists to get seen. I am about to compete in my first (and maybe only) and I agree with needing to be sure it is legitimate and safe. Ours happens to be run by a local female photographer, a magazine, and clothing shop owner (also female) so it checks out by credentials alone. Awesome safety tips here! </p>

<p>I really appreciate this blog post. I've never really considered entering a contest, but that's primarily because there aren't any where I live. This is good to know info that I appreciate having read- just in case a contest does come up in the future. :) Thanks!!</p>

<p>@aoife 24k -- I think these pageants/contests can be super fun.. A proper one can provide a forum for girls to meet other girls who are interested in similar things, have fun together, and share their love of pinup/vintage style with their community. Its nothing I "need" to do either, but it is a good way to get my name out there for my business (etsy store, pinup MUAH, etc) and to network, so that is why I have done it... plus I am a performer at heart so being on stage is always fun…</p>

People need to know there are really good pageants/contests to participate in out there and some that are not so good. :)</p> This is an interesting post.…tag:www.pinupgirlstyle.com,2014-06-15:6504043:Comment:3381742014-06-15T19:06:57.751ZAoife 24Khttp://www.pinupgirlstyle.com/profile/AoifeKenny
<p>This is an interesting post. Personally, I am not one for pageants/contests. Anyway, I am way too old for this type of thing. But I do think that for those who are interested in this type of thing, it might be a great ongoing topic idea for people to post any relevant comments about pinup related contests. And personally, the positive comments that I get from my peers here is all the public support that I need.</p>
