Since I left a bit early this morning to get home to get some work done, I thought I would start the photo thread for the Vacuum Cleaner Collectors Club 2013 convention in Milwaukee. As usual it was a wonderful and fun event with many familiar faces and many new ones. I was not able to get up to the event until Friday due to work commitments so my photos are somewhat limited. I missed the first day and a trip to Duane Taylor's home and his vacuum shop in Mequon. I understand it was wonderful and over 40 vacuums were given away along with untold parts. Please everyone who attended, post photos for everyone to enjoy. If you are not comfortable with that, email them to me at [email protected] and I will doll the pictures up in Photoshop and post them for you.
My first photos are fun. A documentary film crew came in from New York to prepare a documentary on the VCCC convention. They were quite persistent in getting shots of everything including Tania's Tonkinese cat Buddy who loves to get vacuumed.
On Saturday morning when everyone was at the general membership meeting, I joined Tania at her home to prepare for a visit from the club for lunch and a tour of her fabulous collection. While setting up the film crew came by and wanted Tania to model the Filter Queen hair dryer for them. Just putting it on was not enough. It had to be staged. She had to get a robe and slippers and model the machine on her back porch. Now I can understand the robe and slippers, but what self-respecting 60's housewife would dry her hair with a Filter Queen on the back porch. Oh well that's what they wanted so that is what they got. Here is shot of Tania getting ready for the film shoot. She looks a bit aggravated since she had to get ready to entertain 50 guests in an hour.
