Geekonomicon 2015 to Host Dieselpunk Pin-up Contest

Nov. 24, 2015 - PRLog -- Geekonomicon, the premier pop culture and sci-fi con on the Gulf Coast, in partnership with Big Daddy Cool & The Swing Kittens is proud to present a Dieselpunk pin-up contest as a part of the Friday night Magic Cabaret on Dec 11 at the Gulf Coast Coliseum Convention Center 2350 Beach Boulevard, Biloxi, MS 39531 Biloxi, MS.

Dieselpunk is a celebration of the retro futurism of the 1920s – 1940s. The genre asks “what if” and presents the future of tomorrow through yesterday’s eyes. The visual aesthetics incorporate elements of art deco, noir, prohibition, flappers, gangsters, and the Great Wars combined with sci-fi, fantasy, magic, alt history, and future technology to create a unique and distinct genre.

Pinup is a style of modeling made popular in the Diesel era and is widely recognized by the paintings that adorned the noses of WWII fighter planes. Pinup art is a very popular part of the Dieselpunk community, and as a part of their Friday night Magic Cabaret performance, Big Daddy Cool & The Bombshell Kittens will host the Pinup contest to crown the first ever Miss Geekonomicon Pinup 2015! Contestants will also be featured on the Face Book page for Big Daddy Cool & The Bombshell Kittens, and the winner will win a full pinup photoshoot with Chris Auditore Photography in Nashville, TN.

All ages, sizes and ethnicities are encouraged  to participate and no one will be turned away. Because the Magic Cabaret is a late night adult only show, there are no costuming reservations, but models should wear outfits that express their personality and love of classic pinup. Models who want to participate will register for the contest when they check in at registration. No pre-screening is required, and judging will be adjudicated by The Bombshell Kittens.

Geekonomicon 2015 will be held Dec 11^th- 13^th at the Gulf Coast Coliseum Convention Center 2350 Beach Boulevard, Biloxi, MS 39531 Biloxi, MS. For more information and schedule visit www.whynotgeek.com/geekonomicon
