Support Miss Pinup New Zealand Finalist (Miss Kitty Kaos)
Hi there,
My name is Kirsty, also known as Miss Kitty Kaos.
Originally from the UK, Mr Kaos and I have been lucky enough to call Christchurch home since 2014. As a construction Quantity Surveyor, I am heavily involved in earthquake rebuild work, spending my working days stomping around building sites in hi-vis, hardhats, and steel-capped boots. It’s not until after “tools down” that my passion and love for all things vintage and retro comes out to play.
I have a strong passion for retro fashion, particularly from the 50s and 60s. Through immersing myself in the New Zealand Pinup scene I have been fortunate to meet so many lovely ladies through attending hair and makeup workshops, and seeing them at car shows and events. The last 6-12 months have seen the Pinup scene in Christchurch explode. I’m part of a group called the ‘Canterbury Pinup Belles’ who like to organise events for local charities. We recently raised $1500 for a local pre-school by organising a Rock n Roll Dance in Christchurch.
I am lucky enough to have been selected as one of the top 10 finalists for Miss Pinup New Zealand, which is held at an event in Auckland called Very Vintage Day Out on 28th October (www.veryvintage.co.nz).
I am the only one from the South Island and need your suppot.
Online voting for ‘People’s Choice Pinup’ starts today (11th September), if you are able to help me share and promote this experience and this scene, please contact me by email (misskittykaos@outlook.co.nz)
Many thanks,
Kirsty

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
