Hooray for Hamilton!

We had a fabulous time in Hamilton recently to celebrate 19 black's Hamilton store opening and
co-host the launch of the gorgeous Classics Museum Calendar for 2016, photographed by Tiffany Curtis! 

First up was the 19 Black Grand Opening. where guests enjoyed generous opening discounts, hostess Bettie Rage looked after the crowds, and the Classics Museum Bel Air was on display!

We were lucky enough to have Arie Photo capturing all the fun for the day...

The Sweet Painted Lady offered glamorous vintage makeovers and Judy treated customers to drinks and nibbles!

You can view more party pics from the 19 Black launch on their Facebook page! 

As part of the Hamilton weekend Glory Days was delighted to offer an amazing Hamilton Hamper prize for one lucky person who attended both the 19 Black Grand Opening and the Classics Pinup Calendar Launch. People were busily signing up to the draw as the hamper included

• Two tickets worth over $150 to the Glenn Miller Orchestra on their New Zealand tour
• $100 off a Protecta Car insurance policy
• A bottle of Sailor Jerry rum and collectible glassware
• Delicious treats from Hamilton Gardens

Following 19 Black we were very pleased to partner with Tiffany Curtis Photography and the Classics Museum to bring you the launch of the Classics Museum Pinup Calendar 2016, in association with Sailor Jerry Rum and Protecta Insurance. 

Guests at the Pinup Calendar Launch were welcomed by Bertha the cute-as-pie retro caravan from Retro Events and received a Snowberry goodie bag on arrival filled with their gorgeous beauty products, Protecta Insurance giveaways, discounts from Tiffany Curtis Photography, free entry into the Museum, free Photo Booth snaps from the Magic Photo Booth and more!

Guests over 18 were also treated to a Dark'n'Stormy Sailor Jerry Rum Cocktail and guests under 18 had a long cool ginger beer!

We held a mini market at the beginning of the afternoon and the lovely folk from Judy Dee Couture, Bella Vintage, Kulture Shock, Protecta Insurance and 19 Black offered guests a selection of their vintage and vintage inspired clothing, shoes, homewares and accessories and Tiffany had a special deal on her beautiful calendar.

We also had the pamper Parlour ladies - Debonaire Dos, Honey L'Amour and the Sweet Painted Lady giving people a bit of vintage glamour ahead of the evening's festivities.

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how gorgeous all our guests looked! So much effort went into everyones outfits... we love giving people an excuse to dress up!

After guests had been pampered and snapped up some goodies we cleared the diner and had a model signing session where nearly all of the pinups featured in the 2016 calendar signed guests copies and posed for photos.

Of course we would not be having a party at all without the brilliant calendar that Tiffany created for the Classics Museum. Here is the lady herself with Tom who owns the Classics Museum, such a lovely man! You can purchase your copy of the calendar here 

Then we had the divine burlesque performer and calendar girl Lily Loca take to the stage and perform her mesmerising fan dance!

What would a Glory Days party be without a Best Dressed Prize?! Kendall in blue took the ladies prize and dapper Simon Crowfoot won the gents.

While all the pinup models were gathered together they took the chance to sneak into the museum and capture some fun shots with all those beautiful cars.

Then to finish the night off we roped in the Blue Roses to play us some good old country music! 

As you can imagine we have lots more photos from the day thanks to Arie Photo so head over to our Facebook page and relive the party all over again!

And if you would like to get your hands on that beautiful calendar, make sure you head to our Emporium to get yours today!
