vintage ball...

last night was the dianella ward vintage ball
it all began after the purchase of this fabulous dress for $10 from winifred and bance in inglewood a few months ago...

when murray and valerie - our ward activities chairpeople were looking for activities - this popped into my head. vintage ball. i could already see the dress in all it's glory.
add a $2 pair of shoes from st vinnies in osborne park and a pair of fishnet stockings from my local woolies?? priceless!

my parents joined us - as the photographer (you can't see from the pic - but he has a card tucked in the hat with "press" written on it - ready to capture the latest stories!) and his able assistant - who provided us with our vintage items for the corner - and of course... did my hair. what a gem.

doug wasn't well - so taui filled in as my "date", har har har, which basically consisted of keeping me entertained as the night went on and on and onnnnnn
twas a fun night for all...
and the dress? awesome.
