Gala gala

I was fortunate enough to get into the

SCAD Seen Gala for free.

Tickets ranged from $150 to $275.

Yikes!

With these prices, it was no wonder that

the people sauntering through

4C were some pretty swanky people.

The gala is a scholarship for SCAD -

students and teachers create work,

rich people bid on it,

and the money goes to scholarships.

Every year they showcase a different major.

I think I came during a great year -

fashion was the focus.

They set up platforms for each student designer,

and they sold their work to these swanky people.

The food.

THE FOOD!

I wanted to take a picture of all

the stuff I ate, but I was scared I was

going to drop something.

But let me tell you -

YUMMY.

I didn't stay for the ice cream.

(Fun fact: Pretty sure that ^ will be the title of

my collection of creative fiction

should I ever publish one.)

My bun started falling apart,

so I knew it was time to leave.

Plus, my feet were killing me

from crashing down onto the concrete floor

with every step in my high heels.
