I’m BACK from Frankie 100 in NYC! It was one of the best Lindy Hop weekends I have ever experienced and I think I will be basking in the glow of the weekend for quite a long time 🙂
While at Frankie 100 I had the honour of being able to help Stage-Manage AND be in the Vintage Fashion Show.
It was a really well done show with fashions from the 1920s-1940s and also included were some wonderful reproduction designer outfits. Please enjoy and I’m near the end in the “Savoy” section wearing my 1940s fuchsia vintage gown (see below-Photo Courtesy of Colibri).

I like the guy in the red blazer doing the soft shoe routine.
Oh no! Now that it’s over … The “live stream” link doesn’t work. Anywhere else we can find the fashion show vids and other clips friend?
I just clicked on my link on my website on my blog post just now Irene and it worked. Try it again and let me know. I know the link on my facebook does not work now and I need to remove it asap.

Ooooo!! Will def check out again…thx for the heads up! Viva Frankie100!
Woot woot!
I think I may have gotten a lovely picture of you up on the stage…I’ll send it to you if it was good 🙂
Oh Connie if you did that would be lovely! My email is in the “about me page”.
How fabulously awesome!!! I love that your passion for dancing gives you the perfect excuse to travel. The Lindy Hop Exchange in Ireland that you mentioned to me, for example, would be so incredibly cool to go to. Even when we were in Dublin, I didn’t meet a single person who had any interest in vintage (or who wore it). I think that since then though (we left in early 2006), more of a vintage loving culture has emerged, which is wonderful and gives me something else to look forward to if we are ever able to make it back to the Emerald Isle again for a holiday.

When I went to Dublin I found a market that sold..not vintage but had a wonderful store that sold all these amazing reproduction dresses (one I bought). So I do think the scene is changing 🙂
Looks like an amazing time!
It was pretty awesome 🙂
