Peddlin' sweets for The Stolen Sweets!

About Me

The Yowzas are Gracie, Ruthie, Evelyn, Fanny and Lucille!
Here's a vid of the Sweets in New Orleans!

Hiya, Sweeties and Hiphounds!
Allow me to introduce The Yowzas ! This is an exclusive gaggle o' saucy dames dedicated to peddlin' wares for The Stolen Sweets .
They may look downright kippy at first glance, but don't be fooled -- these little snakecharmers will steal your heart while you're not looking, and sell you a record to boot! The Yowzas can be found at most Stolen Sweets shows in fancy duds inspired by the classic cigarette girl. They peddle CDs, candy, raffle tickets, and any other tricks the Sweets are up to that night.
Intrigued?
Gather up your mad money and come on down to a Sweets show. Pick your poison, sit a spell, and enjoy the show.

About the Stolen Sweets
The Stolen Sweets is a co-ed sextet that plays the unconventional vocal arrangements of The Boswell Sisters (Martha, Connee and Vet), one of the most popular vocal groups of the 1930s . These girls were famous for their tight harmonies and vocal acrobatics.
Unlike sister acts that came before and after them, these ladies were gritty and progressive: they were classically trained instrumentalists who devised all their own arrangements (thanks to Marthas piano savvy) and sang lyrics intended solely for men.

My Interests

Cool swing jazz and hot man candy.

I'd like to meet:

All you dappers and dames who want to travel back in time to the days of intimate jazz clubs, high balls, and coy co-eds. Let The Yowzas and The Sweets transport you back to the days when hooch was outlawed and kneecaps were naughty!
Especially interested in talking about 1920s & 1930s fashion. If you locals (and cyber-sweeties!) have ideas about boutiques where we can find some glamorous duds to sport at the Sweets' shows, don't hesitate to drop us a line!
The Yowzas love to shop!
