Jive-tastic

The Rhythm Riot was fabaroony!

Lots of:

  1. Vintage clothing, seamed stockings (foxy), ruby lips, 1940s hair dos, corsets, tattoos, black and white shoes, slicked-back hair,
  2. Fast feet, fancy moves and incredible fitness (others, sadly not me)
  3. Sexy, wacky, comfortable, flashy, modest - all sorts of dancers having a blast. People jiving, lindy-hoping (looks a-maaazing but boy do you have to be fit), fox-trotting and smooching
  4. International musicians, great providing fantastic music
  5. Beautiful burlesque dancers expertly performing the art of tease - incredible how sexy it can be to reveal so little
  6. Sweaty rooms and freezing accommodation reminiscent of an episode of Hi-di-Hi
  7. Jaunt to Whitstable where the delightful shops and cafes provided respite from the biting wind
  8. Drive to Rye for custom and classic car cruise. Huge great Oldsmobiles, bright red pick up trucks and candy coloured American cars
  9. French people (I got caught up in doing a bit of interpretation which was fun), Spanish, Italian, German, American and more to add to the international vibe
  10. Pin-up photographic studio and Hollywood style portrait photographer.

It was lots of fun and more so because I began to recover from the ghastly niece-related bug!

Hurray for Oldsmobiles -- that's what my father and I drove when I still lived in Canada.
Sounds like a great event overall.

Those cars are just spectacular. And vast!

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
