Electro Swing Toronto’s Vintage Hollywood

By Irene Gomes @PetitePlusMeow

We were at it again folks!

Electro Swing Toronto’s event last month was attended by moi and several TVSers (Toronto Vintage Society) to work the door and help judge the best dressed competition that is held each time an Electro Swing event happens.   Tonight’s theme:  VINTAGE HOLLYWOOD!

DJ Medicineman (founder of Electro Swing in Toronto) often recruits TVS to help him with vintage related things – and so far these collaborations have been fantastic!!!  To see the other ones I’ve attended, click here , here and here.

My dress was a simple black – a classic hollywood look – with gold Lemay.  I was told is a “80s does 20s classic black Hollywood peplum dress (BlackMarket Vintage on WQW for $10).  I threw on a black feather boa (Dollarama) and excessive blingy jewelry (most of which i got as wedding presents – Indian people love giving jewelry to brides)…and off I went.
