![]() My favourite looks from Miss Pinup Ireland were my blue sequin gown from the finals talent round and a gorgeous true vintage 60’s gown I wore for the final results (Oxfam, €30, bargain!). ![]() I love any excuse to get dressed up so I wore a different outfit for every round with different silhouettes from wiggle to swing and a few gowns. Of course I sang for my talent, doing to Postmodern Jukebox covers of the Backstreet Boys I Want It That Way for the semi-final and Taylor Swift’s Blank Space for the final. When the finals came around it was like a family reunion. The semi-finals were up in Belfast and everyone, from my fellow contestants, the Pinup Crew, to the wonderful Louise Rio Wild (founder of Miss Pinup UK, Ireland and International) were so welcoming and warm. I met so many amazing women from all around the country whose confidence and talent were an inspiration. The whole experience was a blast from start to finish. The amazing Miss Emerald Elle (runner up in Miss Pinup Ireland 2016) said I should consider it and my best friend, the gorgeous DialEmma said she would do it with me. It’s performance and the amazing, supportive burlesque and cabaret community that gave me the confidence to enter Miss Pinup Ireland in the first place. I’ve been lucky to be able to host and perform at so many brilliant shows with incredibly talented performers. In 2012 my cabaret troupe UnderCURRENT performed their first show and we’ve been going strong ever since. But I really got in to performance when I started performing at The Hutch in Pantibar. As is traditional with many Irish people, I sang in the local church choir for a few years and as I got older, school shows and musicals. I’ve been singing since I was very young. Here’s Rubys account of how she ended up on this path ! This year the lucky winner is miss Ruby Noir who wowed the crowds with her beautiful singing and stage presence. So many talented ladies partake and enjoy a fun filled day out Pinup style! It’s hard to believe how fast the year has flown since Miss Rio Wild brought Miss Pinup Ireland to our shores.
