The best images have of course been withheld for the benefit of all involved... I mean it was Prom... we wouldn't want mommy and daddy knowing who you were making out with before you slept with your best friend now would we? Woops, did I say that? Fun times.

Oh and my outfit because I know that without it you would die...

~~XOXO~~

P.S. Maybe I didn't remember correctly and it was the Prom of 86 and not 89... who cares though?

Florenstine, Gala, Prom

I made my re-entry into the nightlife scene triple booked. Snazzy I know but I got to do what I got to do right?

First was the very cultured viewing of The Florenstine Collection at a local theatre. Beautiful film and they served tea before, but sadly I arrived too late for that(but while we are on the subject of tea let me pour you a bit: I hear that a certain Duke isn't ready to leave our fair city and that for the Fall he's going to give us one last hoorah following in the footsteps of Mother Wintour no less, get ready Columbia).

Anywho after that I caught a ride with Cig to the Gala. An event it most certainly was, we found after having Cig's car whisked away by the complimentary valet. With an open bar, and food galore, we got to shmooze and rub shoulders with the Who's Who of Columbia. A fun, slightly tipsy night was had by most(others were beyond tipsy but some like me didn't touch the stuff). I myself recieved one too many snide looks before hands flashed up to cover the whispers of girls who'd paid three times as much for body parts that weren't sitting right than they had for their gowns. Oh and I can't forget to mention the girl who felt the need to blow my whistle. A bland event this was not!

Afterwards, it was an event with Cig's crowd on the schedule. After a quick stop at the house we made our way to the Prom of 89 conveniently located not too far from where I once lived. As at every college party there was a fair bit of booze but of course I can't stop my story there. I mean aside from remixing Cig's look on the spot utilizing the closet of the benevolent hostess(maybe remix isn't specific enough how about changed completely), there was the cake in the face of the Frenchie(at a going away party what exactly do you expect), a platinum blond who ended her night extra early after a make-out session with another partier(of course I must mention she did end the party with someone she didn't start it with), and a bit of a liquor problem as people apparently were putting their lips on bottles that didn't quite belong to them(no guilty party over here!).

It was overall a mediocre party that could have been better had there been one DJ who was intelligent enough to not change songs every 20 seconds(Justin Bieber/Slipknot? You have GOT to be joking me!) and no drunken fourth(or maybe fifth) year with a second(or maybe first) year boyfriend trying to manipulate her group of "friends" to bend to her will(I will admit though he was like 6' 7" so she gets mad props).

But as you guys know.. it probably would have been fine had I drank.

As always though, I didn't.

But you still love me

~~XOXO~~

P.S. How could I dare forget???

Alphas and Bey's

Finally went out and wanted to write about it. Finally right? I mean if you follow my twitter you probably already know alot.

For example you know that I went to Bey's and you know that I considered leaving. You also know that I ended up staying and dancing but you probably don't know that in my exhaustion I made a faux pas and drank out of a cup a girl shoved in my face to keep my energy up while dancing(hey.. I was kinda exhausted!)

Anywho it was great: all of my accessories came back home with me and my flannel made it half the night before I discarded it in the corner. Saw faces I know and there were photographers snapping pictures of the night life... nice little event I'd say.

Bey's happens to have F*ck Work every Thursday so check it out. Alejandro sure knows what he's doing with the music and I might have to make a return visit and give them an encore performance some time.

It was on my way back to my cell of a dorm that I found this. Yes, I spotted a new cadre of Alphas in the midst of their Death March. I proceeded to follow them down to Bates and back(pretty much half way across campus), and video taped and took pictures. This happened to be my favorite clip though. The crowd surrounding them was massive and only grew as the march went on. People were in trees, hanging out windows, and crowding the streets(effectively stopping traffic) to watch.

It's moments like these that I wonder if I should've pledged... I mean if I had, it would probably have been with the Alphas... but then again I like my freedom, bowties, and rings a bit too much.

In the coming months, a small campaign will be in motion entitled The Revolution. It's entire premise is to take what I have done.... and do it so much better. Don't worry though:

Have to find a new purpose for this blog... won't be the same. Probably alot more like a diary or like visual montage or something... and if you don't like it... well
