Prom at the Pitman 2008

We partied like rock stars!
The Prom at the Pitman was a huge success. When we left at 10-ish, the crowd still was getting bigger -- and hotter! I hope the library folks will have a Halloween party at the Pitman so we can dress up again when it's a bit cooler. (Speaking of cooler, the one in the photo belonged to the folks at the table behind us.)

If you've been keeping up with the pre-Prom posts, you'll note that there were some wardrobe malfunctions before the big day. I won a dress on eBay I didn't really want -- which was fine, because the seller shipped it SATURDAY (one day after the prom). A shirt we ordered Kenny still hasn't been shipped. And the first suit we bought him has vanished somewhere in the house.

And then, I had a near-miss with the dress I'm wearing. I washed it and it faded. But it's amazing what a trip to the dry cleaner can do for a dress. Add a sash, tulle, tiara and nosegay corsage, and the prom fabulousness is complete. For posterity, I should note that my sash reads: 3rd Alt. Miss Faded Youth.

Kenny is working it in a Stacy Adams suit, Italian leather loafers with pointed toes and tassels, a tie, a cane and a hat. Several guys commented on how much they liked his suit. So does he, so expect us to be looking for a Halloween party.
