Hey, all you beauties! I am nurse, a lover of travel, and always out for some fun and adventure. I am known as Miss Stop Your Heart. A nurse by day, and then it's all play; my turn to decide which hearts to resuscitate that I stopped with my pinup lifestyle. Fairly new to the pinup world, late 2021, I have fallen in love with the sisterhood, styles of the era and all around fun it brings. I am a part of Pinup & Pumps and could not ask for a better girl gang to be a part of! Live, Laugh, Love and Pinup!
Restarting hearts by day as a nurse and stopping them with pinup.
Part of a wonderful small town Pin-up group, who share the same love of pin-ups, classic cars and having fun!
I was raised in the 90's, with Skateboarding, tattoos and Punk Rock music at an early age. I love the ocean, surfing, boating, paddle boarding, fishing snowboarding and collecting shells. I love thrift and vantage shopping, I enjoy the hunt of finding unwanted items and giving them life again. The Pin Up lifestyle feels natural to me.

During the 1930s Miranda performed on Brazilian radio and appeared in five Brazilian chanchadas, films celebrating Brazilian music, dance, and the country's carnival culture.[4] Hello, Hello Brazil! and Hello, Hello, Carnival! embodied the spirit of these early Miranda films. The 1939 musical Banana da Terra (directed by Ruy Costa) gave the world her "Baiana" image, inspired by African-Brazilians from the northeastern state of Bahia.[5]
In 1939, Broadway producer Lee Shubert offered Miranda an eight-week contract to perform in The Streets of Paris after seeing her at Cassino da Urca in Rio de Janeiro.[6] The following year she made her first Hollywood film, Down Argentine Way with Don Ameche and Betty Grable, and her exotic clothing and Lusophone accent became her trademark.[7] That year, she was voted the third-most-popular personality in the United States; she and her group, Bando da Lua, were invited to sing and dance for President Franklin D. Roosevelt.[8] In 1943, Miranda starred in Busby Berkeley's The Gang's All Here, which was noted for its musical numbers with the fruit hats that became her trademark. By 1945, she was the highest-paid woman in the United States.[9]
Miranda made 14 Hollywood films between 1940 and 1953. Although she was hailed as a talented performer, her popularity waned by the end of World War II. Miranda came to resent the stereotypical "Brazilian Bombshell" image she had cultivated, and attempted to free herself of it with limited success. She focused on nightclub appearances and became a fixture on television variety shows. Despite being stereotyped, Miranda's performances popularized Brazilian music and increased public awareness of Latin culture.[10] In 1941 she was the first Latin American star to be invited to leave her hand and footprints in the courtyard of Grauman's Chinese Theatre, and was the first South American honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[11] Miranda is considered the precursor of Brazil's 1960s Tropicalismo cultural movement.[12] A museum was built in Rio de Janeiro in her honor,[13] and in 1995 she was the subject of the documentary Carmen Miranda: Bananas is My Business.[14]
