Miss Metro Cruise

Please help me welcome one of our Miss Metro Cruise judges;
❤️🧡💛💚💙
Mindi Ketchel is a vintage lover, specializing in 90’s alternative vibes. Mindi is a true lover of vintage fashion and apprenticed with some of the finest secondhand shops in the city. Shout out to Peri Olsen of Flashback on Leonard and Tim Garrod of Captain Bizzaro’s, formerly One Man’s Junk. Her years of experience fast tracked her way into running her own inclusive thrift shop, Helping Hands Mission Thrift right here in Grand Rapids on beautiful West Leonard! Although she has never competed in Pin-Up, her experience in the secondhand fashion industry has awarded her several incredible invitations to preform the duties of judge in four previous Pin-Up competitions. Every competition is unique, and she is excited to be a part of our local pin-up culture.
