Prom '10

We recently had prom. This year's theme was masquerade, so naturally I had to make myself a mask! My own theme this year was feathers and pale pinky peaches. Mainly inspired by my favorite blogger The Cherry Blossom Girl.

This year I went over to Ventana's house with Elizabeth and our friend Zola, who goes to a different school. We had a blast getting ready and then piled into Elizabeth's old white Mercedes. It felt just how I imagine a prom in the 50's or 60's would feel!

Prom itself was not the most amazing, but I still had a great time. It was nice to be able to eat dinner there, and the location was lovely. Prom was held at a classy country club that looked out over a lovely view of the Santa Monica mountains. I suppose the only real downside was that the music was horrible. No one seemed to enjoy the it, even the class that hired the DJ. He didn't have any old favorites or things that people would request.

Everyone looked very pretty, but I was rather disappointed that no one besides Ventana and I wore masks. Probably one of the best parts was when everyone had left except five of us from the 11th grade, Ventana, Elizabeth, Joey Gilmore, Joey Weitz and I. We had a blast dancing about in the lone room. All the teachers must have thought we were crazy!
I can't believe that next year we'll be the ones putting prom together! Time sure flies.
