Tophats & Tailcoats Dance at Dances of Vice New Year's Eve Extravaganza Golden Age of Hollywood Theme 2008 - 2009

Filmed by Jeremiah Niles Pearse (Thanks!)

Dancing to Edith Piaf's Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien.

It was great that I met Jim who is an incredible dancer. What a fun evening of merriment and dancing with origami and lights looming above. It didn't occur to me at that time, but we both wore tailcoats, white tux shirts and bowties...very complementary fashions except I felt slightly inadequate in that I didn't have white gloves, silk scarf and top hat. Maybe next year!
