all dressed up and no place to go

Friday night was the spring formal here at the Honors College. It is the one night of the year in which the girls either go classy or go uh... the opposite of classy. Prior to the dance this year, we had a lovely sit-down dinner and my friends and I ended up at the 5 o'clock meal. In my life, time to kill between dinner and the dance roughly translates to photo shoot adventure time.

Obviously my friends are classy ladies and gents, especially these two.


Cassidy and Melinda just ooze charm and appropriateness.


Not to mention, they both picked absolutely lovely dresses.


Melinda also has a male partner-in-photos. She and Denis are absolutely adorable together. I did not pose any of these shots at all.

He totally mimicked Melinda's leg-lift-during-kiss, unprovoked.


The most fun to be had was as a group. We brought major amounts of sunshine and cheerfulness to Abacoa. Melinda, Denis, Sarah, and Ben were enough to trigger some major flaregasms. (I take no credit for the term 'flaregasm'. I picked it up from reading the blog is found.)

Once Cassidy was added to the mix, the craziness was off the charts.

Other than being mistaken for high school seniors going to prom, I think those faces were perfectly appropriate. Then again, I see no problem with making my friends stand in planters if I think it'll make an interesting shot.


We totally brought some rad to Abacoa. We're certainly not the Beatles, but I think we may just be cute enough that we can get away with this:

Ok, maybe not. But we're still allowed to sing and play in traffic, right?
