Events and Competitions

At the end of my last post I wrote a few paragraphs about some events and it didn't save so I have to rewrite them.  How annoying!!!!  A couple of my photos were rejected too - how rude.  In any case, I had a cup of tea and am now starting again.  Right...here I go. There is still time to get to the Letchworth Garden City Museum to see the exhibition on the area during WWII which goes on until March 2011. This is a great exhibition if you're local to Herts.  Earlier this month they held an evening vintage swap shop to tie in with the exhibition with stalls, dancing, music, refreshments and a hair and make up demo.  Fingers crossed they do another soon.  If any of you fancy popping along here are the details: http://www.gardencitymuseum.org/exhibitions/letchworth_garden_city_world_war_ii

If you fancy something a little racier....What Katie Did, the makers of the divine faux vintage lingerie,  have teamed up with FYEO to launch a Vintage Pin Up photoshoot package. FYEO specialise in full body makeover portraits in 5 locations around England. Their What Katie Did Vintage Pin Up package will take it's inspiration from the silver screen with dramatic (and flattering) lighting to produce your own iconic portrait.  This leads into a competition that they are running, 3 would be pin ups will be invited to FYEO's head office in High Wycombe to sample the Vintage Pin Up shoot, to be styled by Katie, to be featured on the Vintage Pin Up packaging and FYEO website. The lucky winners will also receive a £200 gift voucher to spend on What Katie Did lingerie. To enter, simply post your picture on the What Katie Did Facebook page (I don't belong to Facebook so can't post the link, you can find it from the WKD website though.)

Lastly, Mrs Bear's Swap Shop is on tomorrow at the new North London venue for 2011 and Mrs Bear has recruited a new Swap shop organiser - Sarah. Sarah will be hosting the first North London Swap Shop event on Thursday 17th February 2011 @ The Circuit Gym @ NLPAC in Muswell Hill. You will be able to redeem all your coupons from any previous Mrs Bear’s Swap Shop event, so don’t forget your coupon book and of course, don't forget your swaps! They take up to 7 good-condition items.
