63 Days to Miss Oil City

The Game Plan for Sophie Atomic

So, here we are. Sixty-three days out from Miss Oil City.
I’ve got my registration in, my lashes on standby, and a whole lot of work to do before I strut across that stage as Sophie Atomic.

This is going to be my official Pinup Prep kickoff, and I’m claiming Mondays right here on the blog to track the chaos, glamour, breakdowns, glow-ups, and everything in between.

I’m not starting from scratch. I’m down about 45 to 50 pounds so far, depending on the day. I’ve been in a plateau for a minute (hi, I see you), but I’ve got my eyes set on shedding another 20 to 30 before showtime. Not because I have to. Because I want to feel like myself, dialed up to 11.

What Needs to Get Done

Let’s be real. Sixty-three days sounds like a lot until you write out the list. So here it is. Everything I need to work on if I want to bring Sophie Atomic to life on that stage.

👗 Outfit Planning
I don’t just want to wear something cute. I want a look. A moment. Something that gives cheeky rebel with a wink of spooky sweetness. If I have time and it makes sense, I may call in my sister for something custom. That might be more realistic for Rock’n’Route Rendezvous later in the year.

✅ Signature outfit, with backup
✅ Proper undergarments that lift, smooth, and let me breathe
✅ Accessories that scream “planned” instead of “panicked”
✅ Shoes I can strut in without dying

💃 Walk Like Shalom
You know the moment. Shalom Harlow gliding like liquid confidence. Every movement intentional. Soft, strong, unforgettable. That’s the energy I want to bring. Not just a walk. A presence.

✅ Daily strut practice, mirror or hallway or kitchen
✅ Record myself once a week to spot what needs work
✅ Channel Sophie in every move. Confident, clever, a little dangerous

🎭 Character Building
Sophie Atomic isn’t just a name. She’s a whole vibe. A cheeky little hellraiser with a pin-up pout and a don’t-mess-with-me sparkle in her eye.

✅ Write a backstory or character bio
✅ Start journaling as her once a week to get in the mindset
✅ Practice embodying her in mirror poses and daily movement

💄 Hair and Makeup Trials
I can’t show up looking like I just rolled out of bed unless it’s in a glam robe and victory rolls. Hair and makeup need to be locked in and able to hold up under nerves, lights, and hopefully a tiara.

✅ Full glam once a week to test and time the process
✅ Pick a go-to lip color and hairstyle that feels like Sophie
✅ Learn from every trial what works, what doesn’t, and what melts off under pressure

📸 Mirror Poses and Photo Practice
Photos are half the game. I want to hit my angles with confidence, not guess and hope for the best.

✅ Practice five to ten go-to poses in the mirror every day
✅ Set up at least two full-glam photo sessions, even if they’re DIY
✅ Study poses from vintage pinups and modern icons. Steal like an artist

📉 Body Goals and Stamina
Like I said, I’m already down 45 to 50 pounds. But this next stretch is about more than the number. I want stamina, glow, and confidence. I want to feel strong when I walk on stage.

✅ Stick to my Virta plan
✅ Keep moving every day, even when I don’t want to
✅ Stretch more. Sleep better. Hydrate like a queen
✅ Cut down on self-trash talk. It doesn’t belong in the dressing room

😁 Smile, Darling
I don’t need a blindingly white Hollywood smile, but I do want to feel confident grinning under those lights.

✅ Add tooth whitening to my nightly routine
✅ Cut back on things that stain. Iced coffee, I still love you
✅ Drink more water. Yes, with a straw

🗓️ My Weekly Breakdown
To keep from losing my mind, I’m giving myself themed focus days.

Monday: Blog post, progress photos, walk practice
Tuesday: Hair or makeup trial
Wednesday: Character development, journaling as Sophie
Thursday: Full glam run-through
Friday: Outfit planning and accessorizing
Weekend: Reset, photo sessions, reflection, rest

That’s the plan. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about showing up, showing out, and reminding myself that I’m allowed to take up space and look damn good doing it.

So here’s to the next 63 days. Sophie Atomic is coming in hot and a little haunted.

Let’s get ready to blow the roof off Oil City.

See you next Monday. 💋
