Dapper Day 2014

Last month Dave and I attended the annual Spring Dapper Day gathering at Disneyland.  This is our now third time attending the Spring event and boy how big has this event has grown.  We decided to get to the park bright and early because we both had a hunch that the park may be packed even more that the previous year.  We were right but it was and awesome site to see so many Dapper folk wandering around the park.

This was a most excellent day for people watching.  We managed to run into the "King of Retro" himself Mr. Charles Phoenix.  I loved his entire ensemble, especially his tiki shirt!

Here's a great photo to show how packed the park was! And this was only a little after noon.

My friend Alisha attended for her first time and looked stunning in this yellow polka dot ditty.

Dave and I in line for Pirates of the Caribbean.

Friends Lindsay and Alisha.  It was actually a lovely surprise for me that Lindsay was able to attend this year.  I was very happy they both could join us at the park this year.

We ran into our friends Paul, Lisa, and Rebecca and were sure to visit one of our favorite spots in the park, The Enchanted Tiki Room.

Being that the park was so packed it was pretty pointless to ride any of the big rides unless you wanted to wait for an hour or longer on some attractions.  Not pictured (doh!) are me running into vloggers Justin Scarred from the YouTube channel LiveFastDiePoor as well as Adam from Adamthewoo.  I was so stoked to run into those two guys.  My favorite outfit of the day was when I spotted a guy dressed up like Marty McFly from Back to the Future with orange vest (life preserver) and all! Too creative!  One of my favorite times to take pictures in the park is at twilight.

We ended the day with a ride on the tea cups and then headed back home after what turned out to be a 12 hour visit at the park.  I'm sorry I didn't take better pictures.  Be sure to check out the Dapper Day website here as they have much better pictures to share.  We are looking forward to the fall event come September!

Grand National Roadster Show 2014

Last month Dave and I attended the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona, CA.  This was my third year attending.  Dave is a true veteran of this show having lost count of how many times he has attended.  There were so many awesome cars on display this year and I just have to say that this was the motivation we needed to purchase our classic car for ourselves (1962 Cadillac).  Below are a few of my favorite pictures from the day.

Love those atomic hubcaps.

The Louis Vuitton seat fabric was so posh and totally picture worthy.

The Suede Palace.

It's pretty rare to see a white custom car.  I thought it really suited this car well with all the gold and red leather detailing.  Truly a fabulous car.

This Cadillac is what sold me on buying ours.  This car is killer!

This Roosevelt themed car was pretty amazing.  It's all original.

I love this emerald green!

Dave and his buddy Paul.

This car was interesting to say the least but the awesome tiki shack props fit perfectly!

Another favorite color of mine and Dave's!

Cutest car at the show!

This neon sign booth was a sight to behold.

Here's another cool photo with the crowds walking by.

This is the beautiful custom car that James Hetfield from the band Metallica had on display.

Dave and Paul doing some vintage shopping.

Paul petting the cutest doggie we saw at the show.  The poor thing was disabled and could not walk.  We made sure to give her some love.

Me and my sweetie!

We ended up stopping by Disneyland on the way home and took Paul to Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki bar.  He had never been and is now, like us, a big fan.  What a nice way to end the day.

Till' Next Time,
