Sweet, sweet summer time is the best time of the year as far
as our cover girl, Devyn Beth is concerned.
Devyn Beth is an all American girl next door from the Sunflower State of
Kansas. She loves getting to be a stay
at home mom to her children: daughter-Shaylee , and son-Will. Summer is the
greatest season for family time. From lounging at the pool with friends, to
taking in an outdoor theater production, or hitting the highway for a great
road trip get-away---there is always an adventure to be had. Devyn’s plans for this summer include lots of
pool parties, lots of trips to her
favorite ice cream parlor, and a family vacation to her husband—Geoff’s
hometown near Los Angeles , CA. She is looking forward to visiting the Pinup
Girl Boutique in Burbank, CA and is hoping to meet her modern pin-up idol,
Doris Mayday. She also has some fun
pin-up shoots lined up this summer with Vixen Pin-up photography and Dynamite
Dames Photography as well as with up and
coming photographer and pin up model Rogue Radiance. “ I am so excited to finally get to shoot
with Dynamite Dames, I have been a fan of their work for many years now,” she
said. “Being the Lush Kittens Summertime
Sweetie, has already made 2013 the best Summer
ever for me, anything else is just gravy.” says Devyn.

Devyn got into the pinup scene in 2011. “My husband booked a shoot with Kansas City’s
own Vixen Pin Up Photography for my
Mother’s day present, it was such
an amazing experience for me. When I got
in front of the camera for the first time, it was like a light switch inside of
me that had been off for many years was suddenly turned on,” she told us.
Since her first shoot in 2011 she has worked with many
photographers: Paper Moon Photography by
Charlie Girl, Switch Blade Betties. , Booker T Brown Photography, and
Foxy Pinups by Hilary Hope Photography to name a few. She dreams of someday shooting with Vestige
Photography or Viva Van Story, “For me, these photographers are just
outstanding! Their work is impeccable,”
says Devyn Beth. “The pin-up community is so much more than beautiful girls in
photographs,” Devyn said. “ I have been
blown away by the network of friends I have made all around the United States
and even abroad through our mutual love
for pinup and the vintage /rockabilly lifestyle. I have met some amazing girls in this scene
that have become my absolute best friends.”
Devyn Beth has always loved vintage and retro style and
fashion. She grew up garage sale
shopping and was always drawn to the older items. “I love a great vintage find. Weather it is
something to wear, or something for my home,
a vintage piece speaks to me—it’s like they each have a past life with a
story to tell,” she explains. Devyn’s
love for vintage and pin-up style isn’t just reserved for in front of the camera---on
any given day you can find her donning
victory rolls and red lipstick and wearing something that speaks to the
fashion of the atomic era.
When Devyn Beth isn’t chasing after her children, hunting
down vintage goodies at a thrift store,
or prepping for an upcoming photo shoot,
you can find her writing for her blog
Mavyn Mom (mavynmom.blogspot.com)
“ The idea of Mavyn Mom is that you can be more that “just a mom,” in my early years as a stay at home mom, I let myself get comfy in being drab and
frumpy, and really in media at the time
that is how the stay-at-home-mom was portrayed a lot. I wanted to live as a fashion maven, a style
maven, and a maven mom and inspire other moms out there to as well… the Y in
Mavyn comes from my name.” Devyn is
also handy with a needle and thread and enjoys making hair accessories for her pin-up gal pals, look for her goods at her etsy store: MavynMade.
