I wasn't in the best shape
when we went to the Rockabilly Rave as I'd just taken half a week off work, but
I was looking forward to it none-the-less.
The day that we went (the Saturday) was beautifully sunny - but also
incredibly windy. The number of takes we
had to do of my opening piece was ridiculous, strong wind at a coastal resort +
'50s circle skirt = lots of Marilyn Monroements (fans of puns - you're
welcome).
The reason we were at the
Rockabilly Rave (apart from me flashing a lot of people, again, you're welcome)
was by invitation of the lovely Bettina Scarlet. Bettina had put together a wonderful fashion
show, the first in the Rave's 17 year history and had asked The Vintage News to
film it. As the show featured many repro
brands I've lusted after for years, we jumped at the chance. Another compelling reason to go was the
opportunity to interview the gorgeous Bernie Dexter, who is even lovelier (and
tinier) than you could imagine. I'll be posting a my interview with Bernie soon, but I've got to transcribe it first!

Even with my limited
healthiness, I still had a great time and quite enjoyed the challenge of
filming the fashion show. I was filming
at the end in the catwalk, and also tasked with taking photographs of each
outfit, not as tough as doing all that and live tweeting the results at the
National Vintage Awards - but more on that later. I'll leave you with a few
photos of some of my favourite outfits, both on and off the catwalk.
