Well, wasn’t I thrilled to see my Swing Fashionista co-writer and friend, Sharon Davis, splashed across a subway billboard for Coke in New York! Spotted this on Facebook and thought I share it here. Putting a bit of vintage glamour in to everyone’s day as they catch the train. Go Shaz!
Well it’s far from historically accurate, but anyway I’ve been wearing an early 50′s tartan dress as a costume for my new Cakewalk number with Juan, so I thought I’d post up a photo. We do a lot of high kicks, so it was a nice opportunity to wear a frilly crinoline – again, completely historically inaccurate, but has a nice effect on stage. Yay, frills!
Congratulations to our very own Sharon Davis!! On November 9, 2009 – a daily global glossary for vintage lovers recognized Sharon as one of their Top 100 Queens of Vintage. Click , but here’s an excerpt to tie you over until it loads in another window 
“Our fabulous Vintage Queen no 45 is from Perth, Australia. She is a coveted swing and Charleston dancer, has her own burlesque company and works as a pin-up if she’s not out and about working as a jazz DJ. Phew!
Sharon Davis is a famous swing dancer – in the international swing dance scene she’s pretty much a celebrity. Sharon travels around the world with her partner -who has sneakily nominated her as a Vintage Queen – teaching and performing Lindy Hop, Charleston, and a bunch of other swing dances at festivals and events.
Sharon is one of the best Twenties Charleston dancers in the world, for which she’s won pretty much every competition title under the sun. You could say, she’s a professional flapper!”
