Run Around Sue, In Italy!

If you like the Lindy hop, Sha-Na-Na, Elvis, Chuck Berry, Wanda Jackson, original Pompador haircuts and lots of official memorbaila from the 40's and 50's believe it or not Senigalia Italy is the place to be. From the 1st to the 9th of August this town hosts the most incredible party (for 10 years running) if you are into this genre. Vendors with all kinds of vintage cloths, shoes, tatoo parlors and the seedy side of this era with hard core as well as the soft fun 50's air head stuff is all here. From everywhere people flock to Senigallia and the party begins in the morning and except of course for "siesta" it goes until 4 am. Jim and I have taken dance lessons every night since it started (in Italian) and have really improved our "flips and turns". Everyone is dressed and it feels like "Grease" but of course everyone speaks Italian, it is a hoot. If you really are interested go to www.summerjamboree.com Jim has his Hawaian shirt pressesd and ready to go and I am sporting my Marilyn Monroe dress and we are styling in Italy. If you see any postings of my pin up photo's, its not really me just an alien who took over my body for a few crazy months in Italy.
