the deco lovers were out in full force, a highlight for me was seeing Doris Eaton Travis, the oldest living Ziegfield Follies girl. her new book is out and is abFAB, full of pics and her unbelievable story.

    RIP – Doris Eaton Travis, 106, once measured 36-26-38. That got her into the Ziegfeld Follies at age 14. At a fundraiser 2 weeks ago, she apologized for not doing cartwheels. Instead, she dazzled the crowd with oldtime Follies kicks. http://urdead2me.wordpress.com/2010/05/11/rip-doris-eaton-travis/
