In October 2013, Ipswich City Square hosted its first vintage and Rockabilly fashion festival, and we were absolutely thrilled to be able to secure the services of Chrissy Keepence, Miss Chrissy from The Lindy Charm School for Girls, as our primary entertainer and event emcee on the day.
Chrissy was recommended to me by local vintage fashion specialists and she was absolutely fantastic. In fact, the response from our festival goers, organisers and management team was that Chrissy really “made the day” and I totally agree.
Chrissy not only hosted the Prom King and Queen Pageant, she also provided her beauty and styling skills by creating vintage hair and makeup looks on our 8 runway models prior to the parade, she ran a kids’ deportment and posture class which was loads of fun, extremely entertaining and hugely engaging, as well as ongoing audience calls to action which kept the crowd enthusiastic and excited throughout the event, and finally, an onstage Bombshell Makeover.
As an emcee, Chrissy is the consummate professional, combining old-world vintage glamour with energy, humour and fun, and the audience absolutely loved her.
Chrissy is passionate about sharing the knowledge, history and educational values of the past, while still making it interesting, relevant and completely up-to-date with current trends.
I have no doubt that many of the attendees at the inaugural Kitsch in the Swich event came along purely to see Chrissy in action.
We have already booked Chrissy and The Lindy Charm School for Girls for both 2014 Kitsch in the Swich events – one during Ipswich Festival and one during the Ipswich Fashion Festival – and I’m really excited to work with her again in the near future.
