The Ric Rac Club, A Photographic Spectacular

Hello dear readers,

The pictures of The Vintage Mafia's Ric Rac Club night which took place on the 10th September are finally ready for viewing! We had a fab time, and think all of our wonderful guests did too. 

The reason the pics weren't uploaded and shared the next day, is because our lovely photographer for the night, appropriately uses a vintage camera and film, so the process is obviously longer, but well worth the wait I think you'll agree! 

Hanson Leatherby shoots with film using vintage German and European cameras. He believes that vintage life should be illustarted in true vintage style, and the only way to embody the spirit is to use real equipment of the day. 

Some of the pictures offer a behind the scenes peek of us getting ready and setting up the space, and I haven't told the girls that I am putting pictures of us stuffing our faces with pork pies before all the guests arrived!! Sorry girls! I hope I won't be cast out of the Mafia for this, but they are way too funny not to include....

I wore a 1950s powder blue party frock, with beautiful ruffles and hand sewn flowers that I bought from ebay for £30. It was perfect for lots of spinning and dancing!

  17. Lovely frock and I adore the last black and white photo of you, looks so period accurate, like one that had been found in someone's old collection.

    I really like the fact that your photographer uses old equipment, I have a bit of a thing for it.
