05/13/07 - Albuquerque, NM Heading to Prom For Old People |
|
| After meeting Christine's friends Naomi and Mike last weekend, they invited us to their friends' house for a prom party. Since the vast majority of invitees were in their mid-30's, it was really more of an 80's throw-back prom. So...Caroline scoured the local thrift (and costume) shops looking for a nice, 80's-style-poofy-sleeved-dress (found at Thrift Mart - $7.99!) and Scott found himself a hot pink tie and cumberbund to wear with his tux. Duly decked out in authentic prom-wear, we headed to pick up Naomi and Mike (also sporting snazzy 80's prom threads - see photo) and head to the party. Our hosts, Alexandra and Rob, really gave it 110%. They invoked an 'Under the Sea' theme, putting up an aquarium patterned backdrop throughout the 'ballroom'. They also managed to rent a disco ball, construct a balloon arch for photo-ops, and even provided a keg (of beer!). We met lots of cool people who all seemed to put plenty of effort into donning 'period prom costume'. A good time, Scott had to drag Caroline off of the dance floor after 2am! Although we were a little suspicious when Rob and Alex won King and Queen... we all smell a little foul play. Thanks again to Naomi and Mike for inviting us out! |
Naomi & Mike pose under the (semi) arch of balloons. Mike does an admirable job of propping Naomi up so that left-shoulder-poof doesn't go toppling her over.
The ladies bring their A game... Can you see Caroline's little head behind the mohawk in the pink dress?
The gents do their best too, and give plenty of high-thumbed approval
Aren't we a handsome couple? The fake flower corsage twist-tied to Caroline's wrist does make for an elegant touch, no? |
