GREAZEFEST! Hot Rods & Patrons

I have so many photos, I have to really choose the best ones for you...but every photo of a hot rod is a good one....so, here goes a lot of them!


First of all, this really cool dude agreed to let us take his picture.  The husband told him his hairstyle is a work of engineering art.  He said his wife was the engineer.


Red haired pinups dominated Micheline's morning class. They stood out so much against everyone else. There were 4 ladies seated in front of me that I thought warranted a photo!


Everyone started dancing when the bands start up.


My gorgeous rockabilly hubby doing what he thinks is his 'sexy' look.  I told him to work on it.


This lady got around all day with a rare black cockatoo on her shoulder.  She would have looked way cooler if she was wearing a swing dress, red lippie and Victory rolls in her hair.  I mean, really, who wears a cockatoo on their shoulder in just a normal casual outfit??


Brissy based roller derby gal, Mimsy, was there in her retro caravan tattooing all day.  I wish we could have seen what she was doing tho.





My dream car is a 66 Mustang.  I WILL get one...one day. To you Americans, these are a dime a dozen but out in Australia they can set you back at least $15,000 and are in huge demand. Here are a few of them from the day.  My favourite style and color, a racing car green with green flames, left before I could get a photo of it.



Love these headlight webs! I wonder if it reflects webs as shadows in the dark??


Mmmmmm, a Camero.



No words neeeded, just revel in the mah-vellous-ness of it all.


The Munster Mobile.


And the Munster Hearse.


Last but not least, a rusted out Volksy.

Hope I'm not boring everyone too much with all these Rockabilly pics but I know I have a few Vintage followers mixed in amongst my beauty Queens.  Fashion parade tomorrow!
