Swing Things

Friday I made a big shopping trip for both costuming stuff and stuff I need around the house. Had a lot of success, but got very shopped-out and had to go home and crash. I think Matt and I must have made dinner, but I forget.

Saturday I worked in the morning, came home to rest, then ate leftovers with Matt before getting all dressed up in 1940's swing garb and going to this 1940's swing ball at a place in Williamsburg. We got an email because Ben's Big Bang Big Band was playing, and it turned out my burlesque teacher was performing too, so we had to go! It was super fun; nearly everyone was in costume, and there was music and fire eaters and dancers and lots of craziness. (In this picture, I look unsure about Matt, but I'm not. He looked fabulous in his fedora!)

That's you? Huh. Glad you had a good time. Nice costumes (and makeup).

The swing ball sounds like it was great fun. Question: Is it the red lipstick that made it hard for both of your parents to recognize you? Weird. Very cute pix, tho'.
