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"
Dottie was born in Long Island, NY but grew up in Tampa, Florida. Her grandmother and pinup namesake was always her biggest supporter growing up and would tell her stories of her glamorous life in Manhattan as they would play dress up in her rhinestones and furs. This is where Dottie’s love for the vintage and classic lifestyle began. She started modeling in 2012 and really found her passion in the pinup world as it brought her back to such fond memories. In her free time she volunteers for The Bomber Girls and she loves antiquing and going to yard sales.
Miss JessI Monique is a social butterfly. Pat of Modern Day Pin Ups, Aviation Angels, and South Florida Luscious Ladies, she loves to attend events and mingle with others who share her interests and love for all that is retro.
Miss Ruby Red is a fierce, fiery beauty who has a passion for getting her passport stamped and all things adventurous. In her world travels, she has swum with sharks in the Caribbean, hopped with kangaroos in Australia, herded sheep in Ireland, cuddled rabbits on their own island in Japan, and battled psychotic pigeons in Italy. She is a no-nonsense intellect by day and a glamour starlet by night. She has the body type of Marilyn Monroe, the style of Rita Hayworth and the drive of Lucille Ball. Don’t let her opulent style fool you; she is a quick-witted conversationalist of exceptional intelligence. She is known for her tall, voluptuous, ever fun-to-handle, curvy figure and her never-ending quest for knowledge.
Her friends would tell you she’s a brainiac who excites easily and loves to energetically discuss almost anything…clothes, red lipstick, football, and home renovation are a few of her favorite topics. She loves cars with sexy rear ends with her favorite being a candy apple red 1957 Chevy Bel Air. Her style and grace come from her Mama who was an original 1950s pin-up starlet. Most importantly, coffee is her life force and hot Krispy Kreme doughnuts make her downright giddy.
Miss Ruby Red is the President of the North Florida Chapter of the International Pinup Group, The Luscious Ladies. The North Florida Luscious Ladies is one of the largest LL chapters who are an entrepreneurial crew of ladies who integrate a vintage lifestyle within our home and careers. She enjoys volunteering in her community with her pin-up sisters to spread awareness and joy of those who appreciate vintage lifestyles.

I am a lifelong lover of the vintage style. As long as I can remember I've always loved the elegance and glamor of retro and vintage clothing. As a child I remember playing with my grandmother's aprons and getting dressed up in her beautiful dresses. Even today her style continues to inspire me. To me, the style just comes naturally and is now a part of my daily routine. It is who I am.
In my spare time I often enjoy baking. Whenever I'm creating cute and tasty treats I'm taken back to my time spent baking with my family. As a mother of two, the happy and joyful moments spent mixing up an old family recipe are countless.
I also love to let my creativity flow. Whether its through my drawing or creating handmade crafts, I often find myself with many projects on hand. From hair accessories to cigar purses there's always something new I'm creating.
My style can often be described as a mix of both cute and creepy. My love of all things gothic and horror can sometimes mix and blend into my style. Around Halloween I love to get creative with my decorations and costume, finding the best mix of elegance and horror I can come up with.
