DANDY WELLINGTON
Dandy Wellington‘s signature panache and eye for detail have earned him features in The New York Times, Vogue Magazine, and various other outlets renowned for their taste and sophistication. His appreciation for the swinging big bands, elegant parties, and beautifully tailored clothing of the 1920s/30s, paired with his contemporary edge, make him a certifiable renaissance man and a true modern dandy. As a bonus, we’ll be selecting a “Best Vintage Dressed” award from our online audience. Tag yourself in your vintage best at #beachrevue for a chance to win a coveted Revue Weekend sash!

Returning for her fourteenth year as emcee, Alicia Cahill brings her quick wit and vintage style to this year’s Revue! An “Islander By Choice” herself, Alicia arrived in Galveston in 1996 to attend Texas A&M University at Galveston.

Alicia has served as GHF president, chair of the Galveston Historical Foundation’s events committee and has a long history of service to the community.
MISSVHAVEN
Revue Prevue Emcee
The “V” is for #vintage, you saucy minx! Houston’s own MissVHaven returns to this year’s event to host the Friday night Revue Prevue party. Vintage vibe, forward-thinking, and the self-proclaimed “eyes and thighs of Tejas,” she’ll bring her extensive knowledge of all things rockabilly, pin-up, and retro to the night.

ABOUT THE GALVESTON ISLAND REVUE WEEKEND
Galveston’s summertime celebration of the island’s vintage past returns June 6-8, 2025! This year’s event highlights numerous GHF properties for a weekend of classes, parties, contests, and more. Based on past island events from summer seasons, like the Pageant of Pulchritude and Splash Day, the Galveston Island Revue Weekend was resurrected into a contemporary event in 2009. Each year, contestants from around the United States vie for prizes, sashes, and more while the assembled crowds enjoy a weekend of retro fun.
