GREAZEFEST! Fashion Parade

First of all, Greazefest is not your average Vintage Fair.  In fact, it's kind of not Vintage at all...it's a Rockabilly / Psychobilly Fest.  If you normally wear Vintage, then for this day you pull out your Reproductions instead......the slutty kind.  As in boobs popping out, short little mini swing dresses and the highest platform shoes you own.
I met several normally die-hard 40's Vintage wearing associates and they were all wearing Repro.

Case in point:


Normally my boobs stay inside my clothes as I am way too shy (and ladylike) to have them even peeking out. But Greazefest is Greazefest and instead of being ogled, my cleavage was in keeping!

On to the Fashion Parade. The Parade is an enter yourself affair and as far as I am aware, anyone can do it. A few businesses enter themselves to show off their dresses or bathing costumes, but mainly it's cute little strumpets who want to strut their stuff.



Handmade retro style swimsuits.



Let's get a closer look at that hair.  Victory Rolls!





Doesn't she look gloriously divine?



Repro diner's waitress uniform....Greazfest-ified!



This guy was so embarassed!  His face was beet red, but everyone WAS wolf whistling and screaming.


I love this dress, it's so Alice and cute.  But my sister said I'm too old for it.



OK, that's all Blogger is going to let me upload for today. Hope you guys have enjoyed my Greazefest posts!

Don't forget that my SIGMA brushes giveaway ends in 2 days! If you haven't already entered, please go do so NOW!

    I love this style! I wish I could've been there. You look great, even if you feel too ladylike/shy for it normally, that is a great look for you. No matter what your sister says, I think that other dress would look good on you too, it's so cute.
