Paper Faces on Parade

Draper's was hosting a Masquerade party for charity, so my friends and I decided to put the masks we got in Venice to good use. Caitlin and her friend were spending a few days in Paris, so she wasn't able to come. Anyway, we got all dressed up and headed to Drapers, where there was a chocolate fountain (!!!) and the bar was lit up with disco lights. Because it was for charity, I felt even better about eating the chocolate covered fruit and drinking the glass of champagne included in the cover price than I would have otherwise. =)


They had all sorts of different things to dip in the glorious chocolate fountain, but I definitely favored the strawberries... YUM.


I know it's impossible to tell (because our identities are so cleverly hidden), but this is our group! Huzzah! We definitely had the best masks.

The group putting on the event had a few fun things planned for entertainment. The dance group performed a Viennese Waltz (with masks on). It was pretty fun to watch a choreographed dance. There was also a DJ, so the rest of us were able to dance, too (albeit not as gracefully). The last entertainment for the evening was a mask competition. I didn't win, but Emily got 4th place! I'm thoroughly convinced that it was rigged. ;)

The next night, while waiting for Caitlin's triumphant return from Paris, I decided to bake cookies. Remember my horror stories from earlier in the semester? Well, it turns out that I'm still absolutely horrible at baking cookies from scratch. I ended up with one giant cookie.


See? On the plus side, Meghan pointed out that if I were to eat it all, it would only count as one cookie... =)


After this, Kevin started taking a ton of pictures of me, so I tickled him until he gave my camera back. Revenge is sweet, haha. I thought this picture was hilarious, so I had to include it.
