Love reading about the adventures of Liotte!

A quick hello to all before I head to bed... one of these days I'll have time to play again!

How do you get a gig in Tenn??

And goodness knows the Wicked Dame should be home in a few hours. Unless, the show was canceled!

My dad started shooting debutante balls YEARS ago. Almost 50 years ago, I believe. He lived in NYC, and he would fly down and shoot in the South. Then he moved to CA, and continued.The amount it costs to fly us out is always worth it.

Anyhow, so this is teh Cotton Ball in Chattanooga. The next one is in Raleigh, NC.

I started doing it when I was 15, flying to Selby, NC when I was 15 or 16 (I think right before I turned 16), and I've been doing it ever since.

It's a great trade (though perhaps not as profit worthy as I would like), and it's given me equipment and stuff for the events I do for BWW.

shira, that is so interesting...

I've been to a debutante ball in NYC. Quite the event!

Addy - it's rather unique, I should think. Most people go, WTF? But it's interesting on a resume. And a good conversation piece.

I would love to snag the chance to photograph the International Deb Ball in NYC.

Right now, I'm just extra crabby because NOTHING in my wardrobe fits right. I swear, this losing weight thing is just relocating fat to my waistline from my thighs so everything seems tight

[NYadgal]

Posted: 7/27/05 at 1:04am

LOL...well, it will all eventually work it's way to where it's supposed to go! Good for you for losing weight you don't want!

It's an interesting tradition, and one which I never wanted to participate in for myself (though I had friends who did), but going to one of the big balls is quite an experience. What fun for you to photograph!

The last one I went to was at the Plaza - in the Ballroom. What a magical setting. I loved all the men in white tie...

Addy - I believe that is the International Debutante Ball. There were hot men in JUST white ties? Lovely...

It is an interesting tradition - and I think my Dad was considering my debuting in DC, but who knows. I could just see you making a debut into New York society, Addy!

I do rather enjoy the experiences - some girls you see at Ball after Ball, and get to know them. If people are nice, it's great. But when they are not, and there are people behind you taking pictures with their own cameras, or a mother who keeps butting in and can be not so fun. But of course, I ALWAYS keep a smile on my face.

As for the weight thing - thanks. Sorry, I just had to vent, as I'm sure you understand.

Bye everyone - I'll be in Chattanooga 'til Saturday night. However, knowing me, I'll find a computer and log in to see you guys!

Hi hussys. Just returned from Wicked. The fying mechanism did not work tonight. The show was good. Same thing as NY. Loved Stephanie. Everything else is interchangeable.

Hope you are cooler now that you're home, Dame.

That freaaking theater is so beautiful but the Ac system must be from the 60's. I swear I don't know how they get away ith it. We try avoiding seeing things there in the summer. But sometimes one has no choice.

I might step over to the Wicked lottery today having never experioenced such an event.

It is gorgeous in Chicago today. Sunny, mild and 70's.

Morning greetings to Dame and GH (if she's still here!)

Hi Addy. That new Avatar is perfect. How is that new computer working for you?

[NYadgal]

Posted: 7/27/05 at 10:25am

A summer avatar...

So far so good, Dame. I just set it up this past weekend, so need to spend some time learning all the fun things I can do with it!

Off to a meeting for a bit...be back soon!

I lost my lottery virginity. I put my name in the "hat" for the matinee. Very interesting. I found the crowd very diverse in age with many women in their 30s and 40s.

The Oriental is only two blocks away and I may try again in Sept. when the students are back in school.

I would have been late because I am going into a nightmare meeting with my partners. Ugh.

The only lotteries in Seattle are for students. And when Rent comes to town they have rush tickets. I wonder if Wicked will have the lottery when it comes to Seattle.

Hot day in the great Pacific Northwest. We're hitting 90... which for us is scorching. No a/c in my apt. Thank God I'm going to a bbq tonight.

[gettinhep]

Posted: 7/27/05 at 5:48pm

We don't have lotteries down here. But, we do have cool, overcast days - the sort of days that make you want to stay home in your jammies with a nice cup of hot chocolate..

[DayDreamer]

Posted: 7/27/05 at 6:57pm

Today is one of those days when I'm actually dreading leaving the office because my apt. is going to be so F-ing hot.
