Dhoonya Dance Bollywood Dancing

I'm excited to try out a new form of exercise tonight...Bollywood dancing!  It looks like a lot of fun.  Classes are through Dhoonya Dance, with locations in DC (Arlington, Falls Church, McLean, Rockville, Vienna, Washington) and NYC (Chelsea & Midtown).  If this looks like something you'd like to try, they have a promotion going right now where it's $10 for your first class, or $30 for a week of unlimited classes (promo code: WebNS).

  Visiting Takoma Park, MD is like stepping back in time.  Its uniquely colored historic bungalows, farm houses, and Victorian homes and cute 'main street' mom and pop shops and restaurants makes you feel far from the urban sprawl.  I'll be spending next Sunday, May 6th at the annual Takoma Park House Tour viewing them, not from the curb, but actually going inside!  If you'd like to join me, go to http://www.historictakoma.org/ and get your ticket.  It's $18 online, and $20 the day of.  Pick up your tickets and tour maps at Upper Portal Park, at Piney Branch Road and Eastern Avenue.  The self-guided tour goes on from 1 - 5 pm.

Tip: Come a little bit earlier and visit one of the best farmer's markets in the area!  The Takoma Park Farmer's Market goes from 10 am - 2 pm on Sundays.  For more info, check out the website: http://www.takomaparkmarket.com/.

Dita Von Teese for Target

I'm back from Vegas and Ireland (which explains the lack of posts while I was away).  I was super excited to learn that 3 of my favorite things (vintage, lingerie, and Target) have all combined in world famous burlesque star's, Dita Von Teese, new lingerie line for Target!  'Von Follies' features the glamorous vintage lingerie styles of the '40s and '50s with garters, peak-a-boo briefs, corsets.

It's out now in Australia, and will be coming to the US very soon!
