My Pinup name is RyLynn Elaine. I am 23 years old, have lived and grew up in the same small town all my life. I am a Librarian during the day and the bartender weekends and nights at my mom’s local bar.
When I am not busy at work I enjoy spending time with my family, good times with friends, cruising, fishing, good food, and reading (of course!)
I started doing Pin-up Modeling in September of 2015. I did a pin-up contest in Hope, KS where I placed second. From there, I did a photoshoot with Blacktop contributor Joseph Porey (Jotograph). The photoshoot has opened a lot of doors and opportunities for me. I will be doing a promo booth in February 2017 at the World of Wheels car show for Ripley’s Pinstriping. Mark Ripley and his wife Linda are awesome and I am looking forward to working with them. I will be shooting with Gears and Gals magazine soon. Being less than a year into it, I am happy with the direction it is going and excited to see where I end up going with it.
I always wanted to do some form of modeling when I was younger, however I was kind of an ugly duckling growing up (braces, glasses, slightly overweight) So I didn’t ever think that I would have the opportunity to do it. I always wanted to be able to inspire girls and young women to be beautiful and believe in yourself. I chose pin-up specifically because I love the 50-60’s era. The cars, clothes, men, style.. everything about it.
