Nostalgia Etc.

When I started this project, I knew I'd discover all sorts of vintage-inspired people, places and things. What I wasn't expecting was to discover the abundance of female entrepreneurs in the scene. Knowing that women still have to work through misogyny, sexual harassment, impossible double-standards, and unequal pay, it's so encouraging to see the women who have made the decision to take matters into their own hands, pursue their passions and start their own businesses. It's been an absolute honor to get to know these women and their stories, and I think it would be mighty swell if we helped promote their businesses. So, without further ado, I introduce the newest Nostalgia Etc. addition: Lady Boss Limelight

We're gonna start this out with someone who was first described to me by (the also inspiring) Miss Tammi Savoy, as a "Lady Boss for real", and as you may have guessed, was the initial inspiration for this Limelight concept: Beck Rustic

Owner of Swelltune Records, organizer of the famous New England Shake-Up, and this weekend's Swelltune Records presents: Shake a Leg!, Beck does it all (including graphic design, which she freelances as well). Loved by musicians and listeners alike, Beck has become a well-recognized and respected individual in the retro community. She'll be featured on the upcoming website (yes, that's still happening), but in the meantime, consider supporting her in some (or all) of these ways:

After a Summer full of a nostalgic exploration, I've acquired a whole heap of footage to share. But before I start doing that, there's one more event left to film for a Nostalgia Etc. Feature:
Swelltune Records presents: Shake a Leg!!

The latest event by the ever-popular Swelltune Records is taking place 4pm-1am September 28th at The Porch Southern Fare & Juke Joint in Medford, MA. If one day isn't enough to fill your retro rhythm needs, you'll have the Shake a Leg Sunday After Party at Night Shift Brewing! 3pm-7pm that's sure to leave you musically satisfied! It's only TWO WEEKS away so sn**ch your ticket at SwelltuneRecords.com before it's too late.
Just take a gander at this music line-up and TRY to resist. (But don't actually. That would be foolish.)
