Morning. More coffee is needed.
Why do teenagers think they are indestructible?
Maria, they believe this because the first sign of true adulthood is the bone-deep understanding that you can die, and someday will. That's why children who have been through things like chemo are so heartbreaking; their awareness of the inevitability of their own death, soon or late, seems so damned inappropriate.
Prom was foamy. My only comment on the pictures is that there are not nearly enough of Raquel. She's drop-dead gorgeous.
And Holli was amazing, as were Lizard and Reema.
Holli was faaaaabulous. RL and Reema just hit the road, and a platoon of us just got back from breakfast in the hotel restaurant.
JenP, Sean (who was injured in the line of duty, poor baby), and Lee all shout hello. We'll be back on the boards too soon...
Not too soon for some of us.
Great pictures, DX.
Okay, y'all are giving me feelings of Boob Inadequacy. Seriously.
It took a couple of tries
Thanks, beth - but it didn't help. Oh, well, at least I have DX's pictures.
I'm getting all sniffly at the pictures.
Last night was, seriously, quite possibly the best party I have ever been to. ND did a great job assembling the mix, everyone was gorgeous (There were many, many tiaras, and I have to give props to Debetesse and Raquel,who kept the Jilli flame alive. Also JZ and Vortex for fabulous corsets), and Patrick and I danced for, like, three hours and collapsed in our hotel room at 1:30, when the party was still going strong.
Oh, and RLiz (who is adorable with Reema) macked on me! I'm still giddy over that.
I'm at home now -- have some writing I need to finish -- but I hope I see y'all tonight to say goodbye.
Edit: {{{{Maria}}}}. I'm glad you came to Prom anyhow.
Yes, yes she did.
You're so generous, DX!
My only comment on the pictures is that there are not nearly enough of Raquel. She's drop-dead gorgeous.
Mmm. I saw the back of her head in one, and coveted her hair, something fierce. Need more Raquel.
deb, you looked splendid and regal (as someone there noted). I am glad you got to go.
Overwhelmed with the foaminess. I need a fainting couch.
Many thanks to all you who took the time to post piccies or stories for those of us desperately trying not to die from envy.
Gronk.
Just up and moving after the prom last night. The memories are a blur.
Now looking through the pictures and have a caption for at least one.
The Minister is always pleased to find new ways to kill the stupid people.
