Ginger at prom
On Friday, School Woods hosted a prom, created by Ginger Lukas, a.k.a. prom girl.
I made some snacks for the event, chocolate dipped strawberries again, rice krispie treats, punch, veggies & dip, punch with an ice ring with hunks of fruit in it. And I went to Costco for a mega-bag of candy, 5.75 lb. of jolly ranchers and Twizzlers and laffy taffy and Starburst.
The most fun part was that everyone went into their roles perfectly: Ginger’s mom and I were instantly chaperones; there was the too-drunk, or otherwise ill, girl with hovering boyfriend; there was the glamorous dancing couple. Lots of great dresses and shoes. Even though most of the attendees were over 21 – legal drinking age in WI – the booze was still being sneaked in through the back; a few beers were being openly drunk, but many more spiked punches and bourbon & cokes.
Ginger works mostly in ceramic so there were these great topiary bushes. And crepe paper decked from my dining room chandelier, that sank through the evening as it absorbed moisture. And a fountain in a baby pool, that pumped water until it fell over with a big splash that sent a little water through the heat ducts to the basement.
