Thank you to everyone who came to the Shady Dolls Prom ~ Class of 1959! on Sunday 26 April at The Last Days of Decadence. It was a fabulous night, and lots of fun, with an unprecedented amount of fantastic costumes!

Congratulations to Class of 1959’s Prom King & Queen - David Whitaker and Shereen Roushbiani; and to our dance champions Kelly Holt and her partner who proved they were definitely born to hand jive!

The photos are now online for your viewing pleasure. Exciting news about the Shady Dolls’ debut at Volupte in May to follow…

August Update

Whilst you enjoy this glorious summer sunshine…ahem…the Shady Dolls are busy beavering away making plans for the next year. Everything is still top secret so there is nothing we can announce just yet, but it looks as though the Dolls may be going international very soon…
