A chance this could be #1970s but more likely #1980s as shoulder pads very exaggerated. Has such disco diva vamp glamour. So I mixed a bit of vampire and disco as inspiration with a contemporary character! It's in pure silk and by CACHÉ another fab American label #vintagefashion
Another piece very 'vamp' glamour. Have a few drop dead gorgeous #goth dresses by Sarah Whitworth whose label Deadlier than the Male based Hyper Hyper Kensington High St. Ghost, Pam Hogg also there
Ah #1980s..such parties..how we danced like creatures of the night to Bauhaus

1/ #Trains #Trainspotting #TrainThursday #Railways - Who likes trains? I always have... Here are some from Chattanooga, Tennessee at the Tennessee Valley Railroad and Museum! #TN225
2/ #Trains #1940s #1950s #forests - Admission gets you on to a 40 min. train ride through the forest, Missionary Ridge Tunnel and bridges in a vintage train... Each compartment is different, but all are from the 1940s to 1960s or so IIRC.
3/ #STEM - @tvrail's turntable operation at the second station at the "end" of the ride is great. It takes ~15 minutes. Then we all re-board for the 20 min. ride back to the first station. Nicely done and worth the $22/person tickets!
