Law Students go to Prom

I'm still trying to shake off the sickness--not strep, just a bad cold that has settled into my throat and has given me a deep sexy voice. I can't complain about that, but wish my throat would stop hurting and the fever would go away. I feel like crap.

But alas, there is no rest for the wicked...after all, last night was Law Prom! I found two dresses at Arc's Value Village last weekend that were possible contenders for last night's ball. $8.99 each. The one I was most psyched about was a chocolate-colored slinky silk old-style Hollywood dress, with a plunging neckline and a slit all the way up one leg. Made by a Bevery Hills designer I didn't recognize, but I feel pretty sure the dress is worth hundreds more than the nine bucks I paid for it. Alas, I need to lose about ten pounds for it to fit just right. The other dress was too big, but I spent yesterday afternoon altering it, and to great effect. Will post photos as soon as Summ2 sends them to me.

We started out last night at Summ & Megan's house--they threw a swanky pre-prom cocktail party complete with vodka bar and catering by D'Amico. And they set up a photo corner with big balloons and stuff so we could take pre-prom photos just like in high school. It was awesome. We swung by the Aesthetic Apparatus gallery opening at Ox-Op before stopping by the prom, ran into some friends, had some drinks. The prom was, you know, prom. Prom with booze. There was some drama involving Princess Two, lots of dancing, etc. Hard to beat law prom, what can I say?

Today I'm doing homework at the coffee shop in Shad's building for awhile, then running over to Jason's superbowl party. When we moved into our house three years ago, we found a Fry Daddy in one of the kitchen cupboards. We've never touched it. So I'm bringing it over to the party today and we're going to just fry a bunch of stuff. Good times.
