Pin Up Parade at Disneyland!

 On Sunday, April 26th, Jim and I attended our first Pin Up Parade at Disneyland.  This event is hosted by Pin Up Girl Clothing and is held twice a year.  

On top of the retro fun, it was a celebration of Mary Blair, one of the first female artists and animators for Disney.  Mary Blair worked on such Disney classics as Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, and helped create the designs for Its a Small World.  Pin Up Girl Clothing has done a limited edition line of clothing based on some of Blair's artistic prints.  These include the Lips and Roses, Train Border, and Cats print.  

The super great gals at Pin Up Girl Boutique even had fun goodie bags for us that included Mary Blair pins!

Throughout the day at Disneyland, hundreds of girls in their fabulous retro garb, mingled around the park.  Guests of Disneyland were so curious as to what was going on and were so excited to be in for such a treat of beautiful gals, fabulous hair, and stunning outfits!  We had our picture taken a few times from guests who just found the whole event amazing!

Doris and Micheline from Pin Up Girl Clothing hosted trivia twice during the day.  I couldn't believe how many people would show up at the Trivia spots! The questions, however, were super hard.  We should have studied up on our Mary Blair history!  At our first stop, we ran into Missy, the Technicolor Cutie, who is always so much fun and a great person to follow on Instagram.  She was wearing the Queen of Hearts Jenny Skirt from Pin Up Girl Clothing.  I absolutely loved it and it is added to my must have list!

Jim and I had a great time on all the retro rides, including the Jungle Cruise and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.  We ate our way around the park!  This included a stop at the Little Red Wagon for the famous hand dipped corn dogs!  

The too large, but awesome, Monte Cristo!

In the end, it was an all around fantastic day!  We were at the park form 8 a.m. until after 11 pm.!  We can't wait to visit the happiest place on earth again in the fall for Dapper Day!
