Hello, I'm Evelyn. I'm a self-proclaimed crafty pants, a Type A designer, a blog junkie, a nerdy gamer girl, a relentless movie quoter, a globetrotter, a foodie to the max (with a soft spot for taco trucks) and a teller of tales. If you were to ask my hubsy about me, he would tell you I like beer, bacon and cigars. Thanks for visiting! xo, Ev
Showing off my stems, seams and all.It's almost that time of year, folks! Dust off your uniform and polish up your dancing shoes because this September 19th, 2009, the Historical Aircraft Squadron will host their annual WWII U.S.O.-style hangar dance!
This year will again feature the fantastic Z Sharp Band, with their full 18-piece jazz orchestra specializing in the Big Band era classics!
For those of us who could always use a refresher, a FREE one-hour dance lesson will be provided from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. before the start of the dance. Just give my friend and HAS volunteer Kathy a call at 614-899-9690 to reserve your spot -- and tell her Evelyn sent ya!

OH NO I have to MISS this year??? DARN!!! I LOOOOVE this dance and every single person there - such a must do event. I would have loved to have gone!
Evelyn, what did that sweet gentleman say to you last year with tears in his eyes? "You truly bring us all back,sweetie. You look exactly like our ladies back then" or something along those lines. Every single item (except your fresh wrist corsage) was from the 1940s, including your underpinings, yes? All truly vintage and painstakingly and lovingly acquired by you over the years.
You and Bob look stunning. No wonder you both won! He has gained no weight in 60 years!? His secret must be continually ncin' with all the lovely ladies at the Hangar Dances! Heh heh!
Enjoy yourselves this year!!!!! What ARE you going to wear??!!??
I want to know, too... what are you going to wear?
OH my, dear, look at this post. Isn't that something?
Very well done, indeed. Just made my day. Thank you.
