A rockabilly weekend may include a getaway to Las
Vegas, one of the rockabilly capitals of the world, perhaps as a road trip
in a 1950�s style car or on a Harley Davidson, both of these being
preferred methods of transportation for true �rockabillies�. Rockabilly weekends may be spent wearing clothing that
resembles the style of 1950�s superstars like Carl Perkins, Johhny Cash,
Roy Orbison, and Buddy Holly. Daddy-O
style shirts, baggy sport jackets, slacks, and creeper shoes define the
menswear. The classic
rockabilly hairstyle is worn with lots of Brylcreem to hold the pompadour
shape and provide a notable shine.
If you�ve never heard rockabilly
music, you are missing out. Rockabilly
is a style that was created in the mid-1950�s when Elvis Presley and
some of his musical friends were fooling around in a Memphis studio.
The genre has been improved upon since.
Today, rockabilly is different than the original 50�s style, but
a rockabilly weekend inspires great fun and dating opportunities.

A female planning a rockabilly
weekend may wear a gingham vintage-style blouse with capri pants, (the
modern day equivalent of the 1950�s pedal pushers made popular by the
rebellious rockabilly chicks of the time).
Perhaps the lady may decide on a straight wool skirt paired with
peek toe shoes, or perhaps a swing style dress resembling early rockabilly
wear. Then again, the modern
rockabilly woman may choose to wear a simple female-style Daddy-O shirt
with feminized creeper shoes on her rockabilly weekend.
Out on the town in Las Vegas, the rockabilly
weekend will probably include a visit to an Elvis impersonation
performance and perhaps a trip to some sort of concert or club venue,
where rockabilly music is the norm. Whether
your preference is classic or modern revival rockabilly, a rockabilly
weekend is sure to be a good time.
