Hey, have you been to see the extraordinary vintage fashion exhibition at Newcastle Art Gallery yet? After Five: Fashions from the Darnell Collection is an absolute must-see. Sadly, it ends on November 10 but excitingly I have TWO TICKETS to giveaway to the Glamarama Wrap Party on Saturday November 9! Taking place from 6 to 9.30pm this party will involve much entertainment, delicious canapés and cocktails from Silo Restaurant and Lounge and the fabulous Bob Downe as host!
There'll also be music from DJ Eoin who'll be spinning tunes from the all the eras represented by the fashions - from the 1920s to today! FUN!
Want to come? For your chance to win, simply tell me which era you'll come dressed in homage to and why and I shall select a winner.
Will it be the fabulous 40s as epitomised by Dior's New Look?
The flirty 50s? {Oh look, another Dior!}
The sexy 70s? {That Halston, in the middle - to die for}
Excessive 80s perhaps?
So tell me, tell me do. Which era most suits you?
The winner will be drawn on Wednesday November 6.
To book your tickets {because c'mon, this is a bring a bunch of gal-pals kinda night} call 4974 5111. Tickets are $55 or $50 if you're a member of the Gallery Society. Frock up and be fabulous as there'll also be a vintage photobooth on location so you can take away some cute snaps of the night.
Good luck - and I'll see you there - I've already bought my tickets! {Hey, I've only seen the exhibition four times so far, and I'm a HUGE Bob Downe fan, oh, and a cocktail fan...}
My fabulous Mother has the most wonderful bright green jumpsuit she wore in 1974 when she was *just* pregnant with me. I have been longing to wear this one day, and what better opportunity than to the Glamrama Wrap party. In the words of Charlotte Smith herself ... "Polyester? One of my favourite fabrics!"
ReplyDeleteOoooh, la, that sounds ever-so-fab!
DeleteWhen Charlotte Smith said that polyester was one of her favourite fabrics in the video reel at the exhibition, the glamourous older lady sitting next to me made me laugh when she turned to me and said 'Now, that's a phrase you don't hear very often!"
DeleteDefinitely sexy 70's for me! I can just see myself lounging around (in a sexy kinda way) in the gorgeous Halston dress with a Harvey Wallbanger in hand. I was born to live in the fabulous 70's!
ReplyDeleteOMG I am having a blonde week. That was me Linda. Obviously I really want to win these tickets cause this is my 5th go hahahahaha Josanne
DeleteHa, no worries - I have you down as number two! Good luck!
DeleteWhoa - I'm back! And drooling over these dresses! I had fallen into a vintage world of bliss (interpretation - working madly on my business, my holiday cottages and new venture in vintage hire) and ceased living in blog world. But I couldn't be quiet always...
