St. Pete Vintage Summer Bash
The Hollander, 421 4th Ave. N., St. Pete. July 24, 1-8 p.m. Event on Facebook.
Fun fact: I own a swim dress. It’s black with polka dots. Another fun fact: I know I’m not the only one out there who may wish that ModCloth had its own credit card. If you’re one of my people, grab your high-waisted polka-dot two piece and head to the Hollander in that perfect pinup attire (ahem, easy on the Bettie Page, OK?) for the St. Pete Vintage Summer Bash. Aside from a pool party, the Hollander will have a vintage men and women’s swimwear contest, shopping in an Airstream, vintage cars and bikes, a vintage art show, vintage artifacts from the St. Pete Museum of History and prizes. You can also enter to win vintage creations from Todd Bates Creative if you go online and do the things they say, but I’m not gonna write about that here because I want to see how many more times I can work in the word “vintage.” Head over to the event on Facebook and take a look, then look for me at the Hollander. Like I said, I’ll be the one in the swim dress.
