Bombshell Vintage's first birthday

 photo BombshellVintage09_zpsfb824f87.jpg
You may remember around this time last year I blogged about the launch of an amazing plus size vintage store in Melbourne? Well Bombshell Vintage just celebrated their first birthday, and boy did they do it in style! Held at Fitzroy's latest hot spot, The LuWOW, a fabulously kitsch Tiki bar which wouldn't look out of place in an Elvis movie it was the perfect backdrop for the night. With performances by Fatty a-Go-Go who are part of Melbourne's new fat burlesque troupe Va Va Boombah and runway shows not only by Bombshell Vintage but also local Melbourne plus size designer Fox Parse and Hey Fatty the plus size vintage online store.

Bombshell Vintage's runway presentation blew me away with its amazing styling. From the colourful hair and make-up to those light up flower hula hoop things it was amazing to see plus size fashion presented in such an avant garde way.

It was hard to capture the lights with flash.

I eventually managed to capture a few not too blurry photos without flash. The lights looked amazing in person.
