Fiona Jade
Brings Retro Glamour to Blenheim's VJ Day

  On 14th August 1945 WWII was finally over and  over the weekend of the 15th August this year we celebrated the 60th anniversary of VJ day.

The biggest get together was held at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. Second World War veterans will be gathered for a highly symbolic and nostalgic re-union at Europe’s largest 60th anniversary VJ Day commemoration.

The celebration wouldn't have been complete without the odd pin up girl and Fiona Jade, joined by Kitten Von Mew dressed to the nines. Boys forgot the Spitfires overhead for a second as a pair of real life vintage pin up girls sauntered past.

Vintage Burlesque Performer and 40s glamour pin-up Fiona Jade helped entertain the veterans in a truly authentic fashion!

Keeping up the troop’s moral, Fiona performed a traditional classy wartime strip-tease based on the legendary Gypsy Rose Lee. 

Then with the true authentic style, paraded around for photos with the re-enactors, bringing back the atmosphere of the wartime pin-up in the ”Victory Costume” which she had designed herself especially for this celebration. 

“ I must have had literally hundreds of photos taken of myself that afternoon! The public and Veterans really enjoyed the animated pin-up presence I created with my colourful costumes!” Remarked Fiona...

"The festival wanted to put a lot of focus on the pin-up glamour of the 40s, and how it did play an important part in the lives of those affected by the misery of the War. I really enjoy performing for the veterans too, it reminds them of their youth.  They did a lot for us, so they deserve some pin-up glamour!”
