Bon Voyage Cher.   We know you won’t forget to have some fun


Zelda Kaplan group ol  

Zelda Kaplan ol  

95 year old Zelda Kaplan died after collapsing in her front row seat at the Joan Mastroianni’s runway show
Wednesday.  The former ballroom dance instructor and champion of women’s
rights, refused to be defined by her age and was always a club kid at heart.
She was a regular at Fashion Week and a fixture at the renowned (now closed) Bungalow 8 nightclub

A 2003 HBO documentary about Kaplan, “Her Name Is Zelda,” follows her metamorphosis from housewife to champagne-sipping night owl.

She was a fabulous New Yorker.  A true Original.  Perfect Exit.

Village Boho

Although most of the real Village bohemians (unless they have rent control/stabilization)
have been priced out of the village decades ago by Trust Fund Trendies, Wall Street Wanna Be’s,
Left Leaning Lawyers and Connecticut Parent$ over spending to buy little Buffy an apt. for the NYU years. 

All that aside she’s doing an excellent job of channeling the former Boho, Beat, Hippie denizens of Greenwich Village.
She’s a beautiful blast from the past. Well done Retro. Absolutely FAB
