The Zootsuit Connection

Filed under: Style in the News


Another bright summer day. And another must-watch Style.com video.

Today's mini feature stars the former showgirl and burlesque queen turned vintage shopper Ruth Lewis and the owners of the Las Vegas store Valentino's Zootsuit Connection, where the seventy-one year old retro glamor babe stocks ups on hippie maxi dresses, polka dot tops, and sexy sequined ensembles.

The shopkeepers -- Beverly and Valentino Parker -- are pretty cool, too. If not only because their coordinating 50s inspired outfits compliment each other so nicely and Beverly, well, that hair is definitely ferosh!

Admittedly, the only association we have with showgirls is the deliciously terrible film that Elizabeth Berkley starred in, but not even extremely bad acting could mess with this granny's flow or style we should say. Enjoy.
