Cherrybomb Ball


Aside from being the tourist capital of the entire galaxy, Orlando is a city that has something for everyone. Whether your interests lie in sipping sake while sketching your next work of art (Tatame Sake Lounge), boozing it up with St. Bernardus beer to discuss the latest documentary on French bike messengers (Stardust Video and Coffee), or watching your favorite band in an small intimate venue (The Social)...Orlando has it. We've got incredible local and independant coffee houses, restaurants, vintage shops (ahem, FOUND!), museums, dive bars, and farmers markets. Orlando's main flaw? All of these cultural treasures are spread out over the city.

If you have any interest in the fabulous 50's, or Rockabilly then finding something to fill your need is hard. There are a couple schools and dance halls that have swing dances a few times a month, some retro lounges, or you may get lucky and catch a Rockabilly band to watch. We need more options! Which leads me the next event FOUND vintage will be participating in...Its called THE CHERRYBOMB BALL! Flirtini Photography will be hosting this event that will encompass vendors for all the hepcats and betty's of Central Florida. FOUND vintage will be there selling our vintage beauties, and joining us will be multiple vendors who have retro handmade goods such as jewelry, tiny tophats, and hair flowers. Our pals from Mixed Media Baked Goods will also be there serving up the best Vegan cupcakes in town!

There will also be two different burlesque shows at the Cherrybomb Ball! One act Go Cat Go, features two amazing performers Lexi Katt and Minnie Vicious. The other burlesque act is out of Lakeland and they are called Moxie Le Femme! It won't be a ball if there is no dancing, so Lindy Hop and Swing lessons will be given as well.
The main gem of the ball will be the Pinup contest! Women will be showing off their best Pinup look, personality, and charm. The winner of the contest receives a 3 Look shoot with Vanessa Sotomayor of Flirtini Photography that will be featured in the next issue of Renegade magazine, as well as a sit down interview with The Diamond Agency. Pretty fancy, huh?
The Cherrybomb Ball is on June 27th at 8pm, and will be held at the Discount Music Center (3301 Gardenia Ave, Orlando, 32805). There is no cover charge, so bring all your friends for some good clean fifties fun!

And don't forget, if you don't have a stitch to wear to the ball, come visit us FOUND gals and we will take care of you! We have a great selection of 50's wear that is sure to turn some heads.
See you pinups and greaser guys soon!
