It’s Promaballoona! And what better way to celebrate than to don a bombshell dress and hop on a cruise with your sweetheart?
I’ll save the commentary on the making of the dress for another post; this here post is for fun and eye candy lol
We started off our evening with class: a 1 hour ride via public transit; it was 32 degrees out and we were a little more wilted looking than when we left! π
A couple Bellinis at a local restaurant while waiting for our boat to board helped with that, then it was off to sea! π
(gratuitous pic of my sexy prom date)
As it got dark and we sailed around the harbour, we watched the finale of the Festival of Light – a spectacular fireworks exhibition ^__^
However, the boat was having troubles anchoring and we ended up crashing into two parked boats, making it difficult to concentrate on the festivities lol. We were outside but here’s a pic of the damage incurred down below:
Nevertheless after being escorted back to the docks by police, waiting for a cab, and getting home at 3am, we still had a pretty entertaining evening!
Happy Birthday, Oona! Hope you had a great birthday & as much fun (but less cops lol) than us!!

Ridiculously funny evening!!! OMG, that’s what a prom is meant to be: high class meets public transit, the po-po showing up, cute dates, and pulling it all off with a cocktail in hand. You and your dress are smashing!!
August 15th, 2012 at 11:41 am
You are absolutely right there!! LOL Thanks for the compliment – I certainly FELT smashing ^__^
September 4th, 2012 at 3:21 pm
Oh my goodness, you are stunning! Your dress is gorgeous and you looks hot (your prom date’s not too bad looking either). You must be so proud of yourself for finishing such and amazing and well-fitting dress.
September 6th, 2012 at 10:15 am
Thank you so much!!! ^__^ I admit, I was pretty darn proud of myself – i learned SO MUCH making this dress, and to make something I actually felt SUITED me and my style well, that was the biggest achievement for me, as many of my initial makes were fueled by a desire to learn via sewalong and not many of the styles really suited me π
I’ll pass on the compliment to my better half; he will appreciate the love ^___^
