Rock'n Dolls Pinup Pageant at the Langley Goodtimes Cruise Inn Review!

VROOM VROOM! It was more like Va-va-voom on that hot Saturday, September 12th afternoon during Rock'n Dolls Pinup Pageant at the Roadmen Round Up during the Langley Good Times Cruise-Inn! The Rock'n Dolls truly out did themselves. They were the talk of the car show, and rightfully so. Shimona Henry (Pin-up Perfection Photography Head Honcho/Photographer) and myself, Helly Hepburn were there to catch the show and snap a few pictures. Read on for my review on this amazing day! Or ya know, just look at the pretty girls in the pictures!

Dixie Delight and Lexi Whitewall, the duo that make up the Rock'n Dolls opened the show by walking out to the sweet tunes of Willy and the Wannabees and went on to introduce the audience to the excellent panel of judges. On the panel was international model and body positive bad ass Ruby Roxx. The sexy and ever so talented owner of Kitty Nights West and international burlesque performer Burgundy Brixx. And last but certainly not least, coming all the way from Tacoma, Washington was the babe magnet himself and eye candy for the girls, Roadmen Butch from the Roadmen Car Club Washington Chapter. The judges definitely had the hardest job I have no idea how they chose just three winners!

The Rock'n Dolls had an over whelming amount support from local businesses who generously donated merchandise and services to the top three winners as well as to all the other contestants. Sponsors included designers and shops such as, Lola GetsForever Yours LingerieScout BoutiqueLace Embrace Atelier, New World DesignsElement Botanical'sHallowville MannorGeronimo Tattoo & PeircingMirror Mirror BijouxSticky's Candy Langley, and The Speakerphones just to name a few. Buy the time Dixie and Lexi added up the total worth of all the prizes they had over 3100 dollars in merchandise and gift certificates.

All the Langley Pageant Competitors 

Like all Rock'n Dolls pageants the themes are always a blast and this years was the best one they have imagined, I really hope that they do it again so I can participate! The theme this year was career women of the 1940's-1950's. Each contestant had a different career theme and it was really interesting to hear the history of each career, you could certainly tell that the girls put a lot of work into their outfits and research into their chosen career.

Miss Mandy of The Speakerphones

Miss Marie B

Miss Ruby
Career: Scretary

Sunnie Rays

There were several familiar faces and crowd favourites as well as some new additions to our ever growing community. The girls, in no particular order that braved the stage were, Sweet Lady J who represented a female flight attendant. Miss Dottie who was a female veterinarian. Chloe Demure chose to be a Woman's Army Corps Member - a career close to my heart beacause my gma served in WWII as a WAC member. Miss Mandy who fittingly represented a hair stylist of the 50's she even managed to show us how to do a beehive hairdo in less then 3 mins! Miss B Marie made the perfect 1950's house wife. Miss Ruby would have made Don Draper begging to have her be his secretary. Lolita Deville made the cutest 1950's car hop. Robyn Russia pulled out the big guns and showed us what a female doctor looked like in the 1950's. Sunny Rays would have made Rosie the Riveter very proud representing factory girls of yesteryears. Blackberry Betty represented a mid century nurse. Lola Getz gave us all an amazing history lesson on leg make-up sales girls. And Sugar Von Shaker was so creative with her representation of a female mechanic! Congrats to all of you. You all rocked the stage!

Miss Dottie
Career: Veterinarian

Chloe Demure of Save the Victory Roll

Career: Mechanic

Lola Getz

On to the top three. Every pageant has to have three competitors that stand out and wow the crowd. That being said I am so happy I just had to watch and didn't have to judge because that would have been a pretty difficult task to just pick three. Third place went to the lovely and sweet Blackberry Betty representing a mid century nurse and even brought her son as a patient making the judges and crowd laugh. It really was the sweetest thing. Second went to the stunning Lolita Deville who whized around on her rollerskates with her tray of sweet treats stealing the judges heart with her charm. Way to go you two!

3rd Place Winner!

Lolita DeVille
2nd Place Winner!

And here we are! The First Place Winner. When I heard Dixie and Lexi call this contestants name the crowd literally lost it. First Place when to none other then the blonde bombshell Sweet Lady J. Sweet Lady J killed it. She walked out with so much confidence and poise. She took the judges and the crowd on a smooth flight through the Langley Cruise in as she represented a stewardess of the 1950's. Sweet Lady J, you are such a gem. We are so proud of you over here at Pin-up Perfection and cannot wait to shoot with you soon. Congrats girl! You deserved this!

Career: Stewardess
