Prom 2009
On Feb. 14th, Valentine’s Day, we went to Nina Lucas Presents Winter Ball 2009. It was put on by Char’s hairdresser, Nina, to raise money for 826 a non-profit organization that Dave Eggers helped get started. I read A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius in college and LOVED it. It was maybe the thickest book I read until Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix. Needless to say I loved A.H.W.O.S.G so I love Dave Eggers, so I love 826, so I loved going to a Ball that raised money for the organization.
As if the cause wasn’t motivating enough, you get to dress up! Adult prom, full on! Dave put on his charcoal suit (very Mad Men-esque), too handsome. . . barf if you want, he looked good! Fun friends, open bar, music, dancing, and so on. It really was a treat to do it up. Pictures are worth 1000 words, so I will spare you.
you guys look adorable! it’s like hipster prom.
That is EXACTLY what it was!
Wow. It would take a lot for Lina to get me dressed up AND dance. I’m impressed by your prowess.
Somehow I’m impressed by Kyle’s tux every time I see it. Looks like you guys had a blast.
Fantastic. Looks like fun. I am sorta jealous.
I want to go to there
you look fantastic!! oh man, I love AHWOSG…have you visited the Time Travel Mart in Echo Park?
You two LOOK MABELLOUS!
I agree Hipster prom…COOL!
It looked like a great event. Very LA Cool.
Prom King & Queen without a doubt.
Lina wants to see a full shot of what Chuy looked like in her dress. Ava likes the picture of “chew-wee” giving “wooh-pee” a kiss on the “sheek”. You like my alliteration of her verbalizations?
