Started by Fran Robertson and Monique Kimber-Bell in 2015, The Beauty School Dropouts caters to the market in New Zealand for vintage and pin-up styling. One of its stylists is Nicole Halliday who lives on a lifestyle property out at Longbush, east of Martinborough. A mother of two, when Nicole is not working for the Beauty School Dropouts, she’s working in public relations for the Defence Force, or shooting in her makeover photo studio - The Fire Inside. Nicole was crowned Miss Cruise Martinborough in 2021, and is back again this year as its organiser. This year’s judges are the current Miss Autofest title holder Madam Rou, and Beauty School Dropout’s stylist Sarah Bauer. They’re both Miss Pinup New Zealand alumni, so they know just what to look for in Miss Cruise Martinborough 2023. The Beauty School Dropouts will contribute to the prize hamper for Miss Cruise Martinborough, and are also donating the sashes to be worn by the winner and runner up, which are beautifully handmade by Fran. As in previous years, The Beauty School Dropouts Miss Cruise Martinborough competition will be a relaxed pin-up competition where competitors simply dress up for the occasion. This years’ competition will run pretty much exactly as the last event. Arrive before 11am, look for the small table near the Cruise Martinborough trailer to add your name to the list, have your photo taken by Nicole in front of one of the beautiful cars, and judging will be done by assessment of the photos. No scary stage or catwalk for this competition! All names must be on the list before 12 noon. The entrants will be advised on the day where to meet for the group photo and prize giving.
