HOST
MISS NITTA NITRO
Miss Nitta Nitro has a child’s obsession with tricycles and wagons, but cammy automobiles get her motor running! Much like the fuel in her name suggests, this spark plug can be found pushing pedals at the racetrack, and turning wrenches and heads in the pits. She loves all things automotive, the older the
better! When this human dynamo is not in the garage, she is a crafty do it your-selfer; making everything from pinup outfits, wood painted signs, metal stamped jewelry, and pallet furniture, to custom tricycles and rat wagons.

MISS MIDDLE OF THE MAP 2021
MISS E.V. HURST
This blondie is an ornery & contagious motorcycle riding wild child! Don’t let the lipstick & heels fool you.... She was raised on the farm in Columbus, NE. With her "Audball" personality; Ev is out to take on the world with her big smile, a pile of petticoats, and a big ole cup of coffee! One of her favorite hobbies is staring at her 49' Mercury sitting in the garage (it’s in need of a few more parts). She also loves to
bake, craft, and add to her shoe collection.
JUDGE
MISS WHISKEY VIXEN
Born and raised in the Midwest, Miss Whiskey Vixen has been pinup modeling for over a decade. She has been a feature model in Cornfed Customs and Bombshell & Pitbulls Calendar. In 2019 she was featured in Sex Kitten Pinup Magazine with cover model, Miss Whiskey Twist. Miss Whiskey Vixen thinks
too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough. She carries herself like a single barrel bourbon on ice...smooth with a kick, a slight chill and a burn all at the same time. However, don’t let this vixen fool you because she’s twice as nice as her bite! She has been a guest judge to a
number of pinup contests within the Midwest and is a proud supporter of classic car and vintage motorcycle shows. She is a proud owner of a 1971 Honda 350 that she has nicknamed ‘The Little Mermaid’. For almost 16 years she is well known within the artistic, fashion and beauty industries. Her work has been locally and nationally published and has been a contributor to dsm Magazine since 2011 and a freelancer with Meredith Corporation. As a Professional Freelance Cosmetologist and a lover of anything vintage, hairbyBrianne was a proud sponsor of Des Moines Vintage Bike Night from 2017-2019. It was in
2017 that the Miss Des Moines Vintage Bike Night became Des Moines’ very first Pinup Contest thanks to hairbyBrianne and Miss Whiskey Vixen!
