This past Saturday I attended the 2010 Promdemonium edition in Ottawa, partly for nostalgic reasons (I fell asleep during the afterparty the night of my high school prom), partly to get dressed up and partly to check out what other peeps were wearing. It also doubles as a fundraiser for local, community initiatives and creative resistance.
Definitely lots of stylish people there dancing the night away and having a drink (or two). (Check out the rest of the photos in my photoset on Flickr).
I was loving the fact it took place at St. Brigid’s Church in the Byward Market, now used as a cultural centre. (And also recently where, fittingly, Christian Slater entered priesthood). The pews, altar and statue of Jesus on the cross are still in tact. I’m not sure what my grandmother would say…
Who said prom was overrated? I definitely had the time of my life.
