We just had to give a shout out to this post from the fantatsic Swing Fashionista blog of Sharon Davis’ recent shopping trip in Korea. If you’re wondering where dandy’s went , it was clearly to Korea! This snap was from a stall labelled Great Gatsby, a Korean brand. I look at this and dream whimsically of age before the invention of flip flops, sweatpants and elasticated waist unisex jeans. Guys…we want to see more of this style! Hot.

Not a challenge, but a Flickr group run by a girl called Melissa – a HUGE fan and collector of vintage photography. I could get lost in here for hours. In fact…maybe I have. It has some truly amazing and unique vintage photography of dancers, musicians and enterainers and some great retro Swing Graphics. But even better she has included some fabulous portraits of the Black Pearl herself, Josphine Baker. That’s a little shout out to all the gals doing the Josephine routine with Sharon Davis. My personal favourite is the picture below, titled ‘Happy Feet’. Enjoy
