Pinup News

- Can you tell us a little about yourself?

Well, I'm a 46 yr. old mom of 4 and Memaw to 5 grandkids. I have a career in Safety, working at CMC for over 10 years, and I also host the best karaoke show in town with my other half, Brandon. (I'm the better half! Lol)

- When did you join the New Braunfels Pinups and why?

I have been with the Pinups for a little over 4 years now after meeting Miss Sweet T. Brandon and I were invited to provide karaoke for a charity event the Pinups were hosting and I was hooked from that point forward.

- What does "Pinup" mean to you and how has the New Braunfels Pinups changed your life?

I associate "Pinup" with beauty and grace. The girls all look so beautiful and always lift each other up and I wanted to be a part of that! The New Braunfels Pinups have brought a world of charity, community, and family into my life here in Seguin. I love the charity aspect of the group. Beautiful ladies (and gentlemen), with beautiful hearts doing good for others.

- What is your favorite memory from your time with the New Braunfels Pinups?

Receiving my nickname from Sweet T. Haha!

I try to help the best I can when we have events and gather everyone, and keep people on track, etc. Sweet T took notice and loving dubbed me "The Whip". I love it!

- What advice would you give to someone interested in the Pinup lifestyle?

I would say come find us and be ready to put in the work for the good of our community.

Also, bring extra Bobby Pins!

Thank you so much Melissa for speaking with us today.

Congratulations on being Pinup of Year 2024 and Thank You for your continued support of our group and your local community.
