Restarting hearts by day as a nurse and stopping them with pinup.
Sammi has been a lover of pin-up kulture from a young age. She attended many car shows with her family, and won her first hoola hoop contest at age 5. She also won the first beauty pageant she ever entered at age 7.
Her step-grandfather introduced her to Marilyn Monroe with his collection of dolls, movies, and life-size prop. After seeing the movie Some Like It Hot, Sammi fell in love with Marilyn! Then in her teenage years Sammi found Bettie Page and her love for pin-up grew even further!
Sammi has always been very photogenic and started modeling in 2003. She has continued to expand her love of being in front of the camera and vintage style to her artwork today.
Sammi also loves serving the community as a dental professional and certified personal trainer.

I was born in Indiana but moved to Tennessee in my late teens. My mother introduced me to Marilyn Monroe at a very young age and I have been enamored with everything pin-up, vintage, and retro ever since. I started pin-up modeling in 2019 with my best friend and photographer Pamela Claytor. I have been very lucky to be a part of her vision and have her expertise along the way. I have been published 7 times so far and have 5 more publications coming up!
I’m a full time mom of a 15 yr old beautiful & academically gifted bombshell daughter a 9 yr old LEGO & living encyclopedia of all things Star Wars/Dinosaur related. I’m also a full time North Carolina Paramedic. Helping others is one of the joys of my heart! I take very little time for myself unless it comes to my hobbies of running or Pinup.
Hi! My friends call me Miss Pink Tink. My nickname comes from the color and singer Pink and my Disney hero Tinkerbell. I like to live life to the fullest no matter how modified... Just keep swimming! I feel my music and play with passion. I have cold hands but a warm heart and I love hard. I love to travel to see new places and recently traveled through the Prarie lands. I enjoy supporting local music, racing go-karts, boxing, martial arts, the beach, car shows and the Pontiac Firebird is my favorite. I'm short and sassy and a little smart assey but most of all I just love being me and enjoying my new pin-up adventure. I have met some beautiful ladies that have supported and have embraced me and all of my curves.. after recently losing 158 pounds and now I look forward to going shopping! BRING ON THE LIPSTICKS AND LASHES! I am looking forward to meeting more of you Ladies and Gents. Squishy hugs, Miss Pink Tink 💗
I have always had a love of vintage, and with finding the pinup/rockabilly lifestyle, I feel like I have finally found my place in this crazy world!
I'm a mom of six - 3 human kids and 3 dachshund puppies! When I'm not busy at home or modeling, I'm also a professional photographer. My Husband & I own Clearwater Pinup and Boudoir Photography.
Why "Mayzie"?
I am a HUGE Dr. Seuss fan. I have always loved all of his books - I grew up loving thim & have passed the love down to my children. I really wanted to use a name from one of his books, but unfortunately, there were only a handful of names I thought would fit for a pinup name. I ultimately settled on "Mayzie" from "Daisy-Head Mayzie" and "Mayzie La Bird"

Born and raised in California. Many summer evenings of my childhood could be found in the garage handing my dad a wrench or holding a flashlight. The smells of exhaust and motor oil bring back those happy memories, because of that, I can often be found at car shows. Most of my time is occupied with wrangling my two rambunctious young sons but when I have some free time I like to create. Whether that’s from either side of a lens, leaning over a craft table or dabbling away on a design, my mind is always thinking up a new creation.
