Rockabilly Riot fancy dress, retro bowling alley and vintage pinball machines? This was our kind of party! So, we rolled up our jeans and rode like greased lightning down to the electrifyin’ Enero Christmas party…
We felt right at home in the vintage surrounding of The Standard Bowl – a killer venue with mini bowling alleys, a mezzanine with pool tables and pinball machines, plus a stage for live music. This place rocks! We brought along a Photo Booth plus an InstaPrinta to add some 21st century fun to the 1950s jive.
Those Enero guys went ALL OUT with their costumes, which meant that everyone was very keen to strut their stuff in our booth and hashtag their Instagram and Twitter posts like crazy. Pink Ladies and T-Birds, a milkshake girl, some dubious Elvis lookalikes and even a walking jukebox… the 50s vibe was clearly familiar to these Enero hepcats.
We’re pretty a sure a few lazy hipster types were just wearing their standard throwback office garb, but anyway. Let’s take a good look at what those dolls and rockers got up to on the night!
Danny beard
We were excited to welcome Danny and Sandy, who dropped into the booth together. Danny had clearly lost his comb and was looking less clean-shaven than usual, but a top effort nonetheless.
Lamb chops
Yes! Kudos to this man – possibly the only guy we saw willing to sacrifice his usual beard routine (we assume) for some whopping rockabilly sideburns.
Ladies’ night
It has to be said that although the boys did well, the ladies really triumphed on the night. Just look at these gorgeous rockabilly divas! A lot of love went into these costumes for sure.
My milkshake brings all my colleagues to the booth
This girl is seriously into her drink, and we’ll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume it’s a milkshake. She kept coming back for more and more photo booth action, and never without a cheeky slurp of her small bucket of booze. Sorry, milkshake.
Still going…
Friend: Can I have some? Please?
NO! It’s all mine! Muhahahaaah…
…and still it goes on! We’ll have whatever she’s having.
Rockabilly ruckus
Is this some authentic rockabilly violence brewing right in front of our camera? Did someone just accuse someone else of having stick-on tattoo sleeves and a less-than-authentic hairstyle?
Tensions calmed as an uneasy truce was secured. Perhaps they noticed that one of these gents had just drawn his tattoos on with a pen… rather good job though we must say:
Did you say Russian?
Things got a bit political with these chaps dressed as Russian feminist protestors Pussy Riot. Which, er, sounds a bit like Rockabilly Riot? Maybe?
Such a great party! To Enero and The Standard Bowl we would like to say (in our best Elvis voice) uhthankyuhverymuch.
