Miss GoodGals Pinup Event 2026

Miss Nitta Nitro from Misfit Gearheads presents the Miss GoodGals 2026 Pinup Event!
Classic beauties wanted for the Miss GoodGals Pinup Event! Get ready to strut your stuff on the Anne & Bill Riley stage at the Goodguys Rod & Customs show in Des Moines, IA on Saturday, July 4th, 2026 at 2PM!
It’s your chance to win the title and other fabulous prizes. Event registration is free. However, participants and guests will have to purchase entry into the car show at the gate or online at https://www.good-guys.com/. All we ask is that you read the rules below, submit your registration form with picture, and of course get your best Pinup attire together!
We are looking for a Pinup who can carry their self in a crowd, someone who is positive, professional, kind and compassionate. While all of you have your dashing attributes, this is not a contest based solely on popularity or cosmetic appeal, but also on individuals who support those around them. Winners will be chosen based on a panel of judges. Judges will rank contestants based on appearance (outfit, hair, makeup, shoes & ability to accessorize with authentic accessories), attitude & personality, and overall ability to appeal to a crowd.
“So set your Victory Rolls and find that perfect shade of lipstick. Smooth down that pencil skirt or fluff up that crinoline, because the stage is waiting! Don’t forget to bring that sweet and bright personality with you!”

• No age restrictions for participants
• Registration required in advance (submit via Google Form below)
