My favorite Vintage Online Reads & Videos for Summer 2016

The summer has gone so fast and now September is here which means that the warm days are almost gone (sad face). It’s been a wonderful summer with August ending up to be somewhat of a quiet month which has been nice. BUT it all kicks back into high gear starting this Friday. I’m off to Red Hot Blue Rockabilly Weekend right here in Ontario (Brockville), then off to a friend’s wedding outside of Quebec. We close out the fun with a mini road trip with the hubby. It’s going to be really great and I’m looking forward to it (follow the fun on Instagram).

In the mean time I have been reading some really great articles and watching some really fun videos that I would like to share with you today.

Watch the Birdie-Scene from Hellzapoppin’ (a movie that Lindy Hoppers go wild for because of its famous dance scene). This scene features another dance legend Dean Collins dancing with Martha Raye. Band is Gene Krupa’s Orchestra with Anita O’Day singing.

While it’s not great that the world lost at MGM Musical star Gloria DeHaven at age 91, it is interesting to read what a life she lived. Thanks for the movies Gloria.

Have a great remaining week and weekend friends! I’m going to be off for one week on this blog to enjoy my trip with the husband, but as stated above just follow me on social media and it’s like I was never gone.

The Vintage Inn Travels to Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend 18

Hi everyone, I have been so busy getting ready for my upcoming trip to the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend in Vegas that I have not had time for a full Vintage Inn post this week. Sorry friends! However if you want to follow my trip starting Wednesday (April 1st), I will be posting regularly on my Instagram page (the pictures can be seen on the right hand bar if you don’t have Instagram). Then when I get back I will be doing a full review of the weekend.

Also for the first time ever on The Vintage Inn Blog, I will be bringing you GOOD PHOTOS! I bought a nice camera a couple of weeks ago and I’m excited to use it during the weekend and even more excited to not torture my readers with my iPhone photos (they will appear once in a while but not as much as they have in the past).

So friends, enjoy your Easter weekend, eat lots of chocolate and enjoy time with friends and family. And to my readers that will be in Vegas, please come and say Hi!
