The F – Word – Lila Jean Vintage

Can you tell us a bit about The Lindy Charm School for Girls and how you got started?

The Lindy Charm School For Girls started with a passion, a dolly peg, some wise advise from an elderly lady in a Nursing home I was dancing at and a class full of swing dance students wanting to know how to dress and do their hair and makeup in the style in which they were dancing to…the 1930’s & 1940’s Big Band Era.

With a new love (now my husband), new home, 3 kids, full time work, building a dance school and then the birth of The Lindy Charm School for Girls… Life sure was busy. A roller-coaster of highs and some lows, pitfalls, mistakes and successes.

For a few years it was really about 1 step forward and 2 steps backwards. I look back and wonder just how we managed it all.
