The Fat Friday Trolley Hop gets underway with another entertaining round of featured stops along Louisville's Historic Frankfort Avenue. It's expected to be a hot one, with heat indices hanging out around 100F.
Elizabeth's Timeless Attire, the F.A.T. Trolley Hop edition [Fashion]
When I stepped into Elizabeth's Timeless Attire, the featured stop on last Friday's F.A.T. Trolley Hop, I felt like I'd taken a step back in time -- a good step back. The atmosphere was whimsical, filled with a sense of nostalgia. Beautifully selected dresses, hats, jewelry, filled the store, setting the stage for a delightful shopping experience.
The two woman staff, Elizabeth being one of them, was chatty and exuberant, engaging in conversation with patrons, many of whom seemed to be regulars.
F.A.T. Friday Trolley Hop to feature Parisian treasures [Fashion]
Friday's F.A.T Trolley Hop, Louisville's once a month exploration of the unique Frankfort Avenue Corridor, will be an experience infused with French culture. Elizabeth Schaaf, owner Elizabeth's Timeless Attire, has filled her store with "Treasures from Paris," items she picked up on her recent Parisian buying trip. Elizabeth makes a yearly sojourn to Paris, and she's showing off her 2011 buys tomorrow night. Elizabeth's is known for its eccentricity, but when Paris comes into the picture, it goes to another level, for fashionistas at least.
Nudity to be on display during Derby Eve celebration [Kentucky Derby]
This Friday, the night before Derby Day, is also the final Friday of the month, which means the F.A.T. Friday Trolley Hop will be taking place. (The monthly event has free trolleys that transport people up and down Frankfort Avenue to bars, restaurants and shops.) Local businesses will have plenty of complimentary wine to go around.
Booze and belly dancing in Crescent Hill
Spring is trying to wiggle its way out of winter's final clutches, which means it's time to get excited about the F.A.T. Friday Trolley Hop again. The event, which takes place the final Friday of every month, just isn't the same when it's cold outside. Free trolleys take revelers up and down Frankfort, Mellwood and Story avenues from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Almost forgot: Oftentimes, free booze is in abundant supply.
