Bella Fire brings a spark and sizzle to the page and the stage. Located in Denver, CO, this retired Professor of Mathematics with a PhD in Mathematics Education spent 28 years in higher education. She spent her time in the classroom, working as a Director of Academic Assessment, and as a Department Chair. Now retired, she is pursuing her artistic life to the fullest.

Reinventing her life in 2016, she started performing/modeling part-time while teaching. Now she lives life as a full-time traveling showgirl/model/pinup. Performing burlesque (and emceeing) almost every weekend locally, regionally, or nationally, she is living her best life. Her love of vintage started at age four exploring antique malls and garage sales with her momma. She waited until she was 51 to enter her first pinup contest and won! She is Miss Rock and Rumble 2021 and Miss All American Pinup 2023. Bella produces the pinup contest at Colorado Tattoo Convention and has had the pleasure of co-hosting the contest at Hot Rod Rock and Rumble for the last three years. She is having a wonderful time sharing her fabulous vintage finds (some of her favorites from her grandmother’s closet) with others who truly appreciate her vintage style and modern attitude making the pinup world a fabulously fun way of life.
