The Ralph Roister Doisters

So near the end of every year, the NWC theatre department hosts a lovely part for those who have been involved in the several productions throughout the year. We car pool over to a lovely (and gigantic) boat on the Mississippi River, and they feed us oodles of good food. Then we have an awards show (The Ralphies...almost as prestigious as winning a Tony), sprinkled with several skits, puppet shows, and entertaining speeches. After all this, we go outside on the giant deck, and dance in ridiculous ways to ridiculous music. So. Much. Fun!

The dress code for this prestigious event is "Fractured Formal", which is basically formal wear, with a twist. The size and style of the twist is up to you. It was a fabulous (and very late) night, and unfortunately, we didn't charge the batteries on our camera, so pictures of the event itself are nonexistant from the Hoarn camp. We did, however, take pictures of our outfits. Which were fabulous.



My lovely outfit...the stockings don't show very well in this picture, but they were bright orange...and one leg had fishnets over it, the other didn't.




Nathan's outfit...yes, we coordinated.



My hair...Nathan actually did it. It took three bumpits and a LOT patience.





I'm madly in love with this veil...and I finally had an excuse to wear it!



And at the end of night, after removing three bumpits, five ribbons, and several packs of bobbypins, I could have passed for Aslan's twin sister.



Love to all!!
