The BIG EVENT!

Mas Magazine turned one year old last weekend and they threw a HELL of a party at the newly restored Nile. The fashion was everywhere! Great food, great band, great time!

My bad camera situation (it's either the camera or my skills, probably my skills!), however, means half the photos didn't turn out because the flash was acting up.

So some are kind of faded out after I had to fix them on the computer. There were just so many fabulous dresses I had to do what I could get em on the blog.

The worst part was I actually photographed Lydia DANCING. But the flash didn't work so I couldn't make an image. I'm in serious need of camera help!

Be WARNED:
There was one serious fashion don't - leggings w/a short jersey skirt - NO! I don't care that all the fashion mags say leggings and icky '80s jersey skirts are back. I'm saying NO!

Aside from that minor issue, the Mas party was one GIANT FASHION DO!

Here's Olivia (Managing Editor of Mas) w/hubby Julio. In the background between their heads is Louie Cruz Beltran, who they credit with bringing them together as they met at one of his gigs at the old Cheney's bar. AHHHHHH!




Above are Lydia and Jen. I SWEAR they were dancing, BOTH OF THEM!



I'm so bummed I didn't get better snaps of the dress above and the one below. They were gorgeous! The one above was a form fitting green number with fun embroidery. The one below was a light chiffon, flowy skirt with red polka dots and accompanying red sash.
Both girls looked fab and they loved showing off their frocks! If only my camera had lived up to the fashion moment!

FASHON DON'T!!! I couldn't get a great shot, but you can see the short jersey (t-shirt material) mini skirt over black leggings. NO NO NO!
They spent all day moving Davin from his apartment and still looked refreshed and fab for Olivia's party!
Teresa's dress was perfect! Black and white polkas, tight bodice and a full 1950s skirt. The red flower in her hair was a brilliant touch. Felix...well, his Levis were clean and pressed and so was his shirt. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

You know, if a guy's gonna buy two drinks, doesn't the gal always have the option of testing which one is better before deciding? I think so!

Here's my boss dancing. Nuff said.

I was dancing too, yikes!
I so wish this photo had turned out, my evil flash strikes again. She had THE MOST FABULOUS little white beaded purse. We were all admiring it.
Jan can dance. And so can this dude. I think his name is David, is that right? They looked HOT.
Me and my "twin," Kathryn Lomely. At a function earlier this year, a lady came up to me and started chatting away about stuff I had no clue about. Finally, Jan turns to her and says, "You know this isn't Kathryn Lomely. This is Lois Henry."

She looked like someone had hit her in the head with a stun gun. "Well your hair is exactly like hers," she said as if my hair had offended her, and flounced off. I love being mistaken for Kathryn!
So this is where all the "cool kids" were hanging out! Sandi, the hair is GREAT, very sexy!
What can you say? Denise and Sofia...they LIT UP the room!
