The Australian PinUp Pageant takes great pride in commemorating the remarkable women of the silver screen. These are individuals who have left an enduring and impactful mark on our world. Through their boundless creativity and unwavering passion, they shattered barriers, defied stereotypes, and paved the way for others to pursue their dreams, all while advocating for their beliefs. These are the women who have ignited inspiration in future generations.
We express our gratitude for their monumental contributions to society and stand in awe of the legacy they have bequeathed. Thus, Stars is born—a festival dedicated to paying homage to the women who have significantly influenced our lives today.
Let us unite to celebrate these extraordinary women, acknowledging their achievements and their visionary embrace of diversity, inclusiveness, equity, and leadership. The Stars Festival will annually spotlight five influential women, beginning with Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Lucille Ball, Eartha Kitt, and Mae West in the first year. Subsequent years will continue to honour iconic figures, such as Hedy Lamarr, Anna May Wong, Bettie Davis, Carmen Miranda, and Judy Garland in the second year, and so forth for each subsequent year.
Hollywood Glam at its finest, is the key to The “Lucille” Ball. Entertainment included at this black performance, the eventending in music and dance enticing our rock n roll community to join in the joy. There will be raffles, auctions, best dressed and lucky door prizes.
