This post was written by Lindy Shopper. This past weekend I attended a wonderful dance and workshop weekend in Norfolk/Virginia Beach, VA called Be My Jazz Baby and blissed out on two nights of dancing to Drew Nugent and the Midnight Society. Be My Jazz Baby worked to bring in vendors, who set up their [...]

This post was written by Lindy Shopper. This weekend I’m traveling to Norfolk, Virginia for the Be My Jazz Baby workshop and competition weekend. Two of my favorite male clotheshorses, Bill Speidel and Victor Celania, are organizing this event and I am excited to see the vendors they have selected for the event! There will [...]

Silk Knit Ties
This post was written by Lindy Dandy. Few things are as understated and refined as a silk knit tie. They don’t scream for attention (especially in solid colors), but they’re appreciated with further inspection. I have a few and would be happy to own more. Enjoy!

This post was written by Lindy Dandy. I haven’t seen any good tie deals pop up on ol’ eBay, lately, but here’s a good one. I especially love the blue one and the grey-green tie too. By the way, ties CAN be a great gift for the men in your life. Just try to make [...]

EBC 2011 Vendors
This post was written by Lindy Shopper. It’s already wonderful that the Eastern Balboa Championships is just a short drive away, but this year EBC really had the feel of a top notch swing dance event, brimming with a level of excitement and enthusiasm that is almost unrivaled. EBC already felt like a Balboa family [...]

The Triangle Swing Dance Society has requested a post about where to shop locally for vintage or vintage-inspired swing dance clothing in the Triangle area of North Carolina (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill). In the spirit of shopping locally, there are a few places I would recommend to find [...]

Giant Hair Flower or Fascinator?
This post was written by Lindy Shopper. After seeing the giant white blossom Forties Forward had for sale at ILHC, I couldn’t get it out of my mind. I certainly don’t have enough hair to wear it, but man, it was gorgeous! Following a flower mishap in the Balboa J&J finals, I went searching for [...]

This post was written by Lindy Shopper. Sweet Lorain (formerly Suite Lorain, now under new ownership) is one of those rare places where there are entire racks devoted to 1930′s and 1940′s clothing, rather than being relegated to a few rare items on the wall or stuck in the middle of a mound of polyester.

This post was written by Lindy Shopper. This is less of a field trip and more of a weekly lunch break ritual, usually on Fridays, to a destination two blocks from my office in downtown Durham, North Carolina – to Dolly’s Vintage, a confectionery of a vintage store that is more like a trip to [...]

This post was written by Lindy Shopper. I’m having palpitations because several dresses I have been eyeballing, as well has hundreds of other items, are now 70% off at Mod Cloth’s Cabin Fever Sale. As I am placing things into my shopping cart they are flying off the website – literally! One dress in my [...]

This post was written by Lindy Dandy. Many guys (myself included) like to dance in white Aris Allen captoes (or other white shoes). Why? They look sharp and they highlight your fancy footwork. (I love my Aris Allens to death; they’re my “go to” on most floors. Mine have gotten a bit beat up, but [...]
