Isn't she lovely folks?  Just wait until we get to the contestants!

What do you get when you mix a club full of Rockabilly-loving, cigarette-smoking, Budweiser-drinking men and women with a Pinup contest on a Friday evening in northern Nevada?  Well, it’s not Hot August Nights, but is is certainly one helluva good time!  While I was only able to pop in at The Underground for a short time last night, what I found here in our often-underrated city of Reno was one of the hottest pinup contests seen this side of the Sierra Nevada’s.

Take 21 female contestants, dressed up in the finest of Bettie Page-approved threads, two energetic MCs who are both enrolling and ultimately hilarious, and toss in one stage-crashing 6 pack (abdomen) wielding young man and you’ve got a recipe for an event sure to pack the house year after year.

Unfortunately, I was not present for the announcement of the winners, and while this decision is far from an easy one to make, I urge the readers of this post to scroll down and check out a couple of my personal fav’s and click through the link below to view the full gallery … and comment with your favorites!  Also, if you were a contestant and would like your photo credited, please leave a comment or send an email to ishootreno@gmail.com so we can get you the recognition you deserve!

What an enrolling MC!  He was a little sauced ... but did his job well!
