Last weekend's Pinned Miami festival brought a touch of charm to Miami's typical Memorial Day Weekend mayhem, as participants decked out in vintage styles congregated at the Miami Airport Convention Center to celebrate all things retro.

Classic cars, skilled tattoo artists, and rockabilly and surfer bands enticed both long-time fans of the pin-up scene, as well as curious newcomers to the culture. But the main attraction, of course, was the pin-up girls themselves, dressed in polka dots, halter tops, cat-eye glasses, and pin curls -- and excited to show off their style.

See all that and more in our video from the event below.
