Sorry for the posting gap! I've been on quite the adventure this past week, giving my first talk at an academic conference in Rotterdam! I had a brilliant time in the Netherlands, but before I left I did quite a bit of time travelling--jumping multiple centuries in fact.
Two back-to-back weekends of performances landed me in the Renaissance (which I will tell you all about when I get pictures...eventually...) and the 1920s. Woo!

| one of the lovely vehicles on display |
On Fathers' Day the
Braintree Historical Society hosted a 1920s Model T Ford car show, and we had a grand time dancing for the attendees!
We
also had a grand time hamming it up with the cars for photos--because what else is a flapper to do?!
And with that, on to the pictures!
 |
| the plate reads: "NO RIDERS except brunettes, blondes, and redheads," hehe! |
 |
| this is just a 20s-style modern dress from years ago...I'll have something new for the rest of the summer! |
 |
| when faux-bobs fail...Little Lord Fauntleroy it is! |
 |
| a true prohibition relic! Ironic that it's a pro-drinking motto for a car though... |
 |
| we all posed in the car, but Antonia was the best ham and I was happy with having taken this picture (also, Antonia is the only one of the party who can't actually drive, silly!) |
 |
| the sweet (or foolish?) owner brave enough to let us pose behind the wheel |
 |
| perhaps my favorite car of the day |
 |
| such pretty cut glass headlights! |
 |
| our gay picnic group |
 |
| taking in some lunchtime reading |
 |
| how topical! These were period magazines brought by a member of CVD for us to look at, and they were very cool! |
 |
| being artsy--do you see our reflections in the windshield? |
It was such fun! And if you're up for some 20s, July is your month!
Check out the
Prohibition Ball, July 27th!
