Club Pinup Presents Lana Landis

"Singing has always been my passion"

If you could mix the glamour of Veronica Lake, the beauty of Lana Turner, the spunk of Doris Day, then throw in a pinch of Julie Newmar for good measure, you might get something close to Lana Landis.

Lana's love for entertainment started at a very young age. One of her fondest memories is performing at the Laguna Molton Theater. "I was six years old, by far the youngest in the show." Lana told Club Pin-up "When I sang my solo there was always a couple of seconds when everyone would walk off the stage except me, and I could hear the audience start to whisper and giggle because they thought I forgot to leave the stage. Then the spotlight would hit me and I'd sing my song like my life depended on it! I loved getting everyone up on their feet every night."

Later Lana got her first modeling gig for Miller's Outpost, and proceeded headlong into much more modeling, as well as commercial and voice-over work. It wasn't till the late 90's that Lana started thinking of pursuing her own ideals and focusing on her first passion of singing and Pin-up Modeling. Currently Lana is working on transforming Lana Landis to showcase her vocal talents.

More than your average pretty face and talented singer, Lana is a fuller package, she is an intelligent, business savvy, entrepreneurial, and patriotic woman. Having one of the most dynamic, and well designs sites in the Pinup genre on the net. (lanalandis.com) Lana originally started programming and publishing her website herself. Now through her direction , it is now created by 24-7 Media. Lana supports her own line of T-shirts and soon her own custom Bubble Bath. I myself can't wait to see the advertising campaign for that!
In the true footsteps of the Pinup model, Lana is admired by many of our fighting men overseas. Just like Betty Grable in WW2 and Marylin during the Korean War, Lana corresponds with our American men and women fighting overseas. Her letters and photos let our troops know there is definitely something good to come home to.

here is a picture and excerpt from some of our Infantry in Iraq.


"...Not sure if the news is portraying it, but we continue to do good work everyday and make a positive impact on the Iraqi people. The shift in security operations is moving quickly toward more of Iraqi control; they are truly stepping up and taking control of their country. Hopefully, that will mean that we can come home sooner...." Stuart Williams A Company, 3rd Battalion, 21st Infant Regiment.

We wish you the best of luck on your career Lana. I am a big fan of the style, passion, and artistic integrity you put into your modeling. Thank you for your time and input to Club Pinup. Kudos!

Club Pinup Presents Bernie Dexter

Bernie Dexter
(born from a long stock of beauties)

"I love champagne especially with potato chips!!"

Pretty girls don't happen over night, there made up of generations of good stuff. One look at a photo of Bernie's Mother and Grandmother you would understand. It didn't happen overnight ...

Take one sailor on leave falling in love with a young sultry burlesque dancer and shortly thereafter you get Bernie Belle future model extraordinaire.

Bernie's fascination with pinup culture started at an early age watching her mother transform from mother of a young 5 year old to sexy vixen. A great fan of Sunday morning movies Bernie started to see the world in Technicolor. The glamorous dancing singing actresses of the screen gave her the itch, and shortly thereafter she was getting her own Dancing and acting lessons.


By the age of 12 her mother entered Bernie in her first beauty pageant, and she learned the basics of modeling, poise, balance and proper walking form. Bernie continued the pageant circuit till the age of 18 winning such titles as 'Miss Teen San Diego County U.S.A.'

Around the time of the end of Bernie's retirement from pageant life, she entered the world of the Rockabilly music revival. A scene that is much a lifestyle of looks, attitude, and cars as that of the music itself. Attending cosmetology school Bernie worked as a hairdresser, attending photo shoots doing makeup, wardrobe, and set design. Soon all this started to meld together to make something special.

The body of a dancer, confidence of an actress, Poise and body awareness of a pageant contestant, Schooled in cosmetology, self taught aficionado of the golden age of glamour and pinup culture. There was obvious direction to go.

Retro Pinup Model! and what a knockout she is.


Bernie has posed for many magazines and websites since her beginning in modeling. Appearing on the cover of
Barracuda and Koolsville magazine, you can find her on websites such as Retroradar.com, Evelyns1955.com, lucyb.com and many more. In a short time Bernie Dexter has made a name for herself, and can be found very easily.
