Ha! Thought just because you can't see through the gravy haze of Thanksgiving and early Holiday Advertising you were through the Halloween thicket, huh? Well, this week in TC news, we're going on a field trip back in time, to a more innocent, less alarming world. The year? 2011 (gasp). The date? October 29 (heavens!). The hour? 6:30. (Dinner & drinks time!)
Into this other world, we touch down at the Hotel ABQ. The scene: Masquerade, a gorgeous, high-end costume ball fundraiser decorated by Conventions Services of the Southwest. The funds raised were in the service of at-risk youth in the ABQ public school system, to curb bullying and provide "a more positive learning environment." Graciously, they opted for the Costume Ball theme over High School, and put a glamorous face on a good cause. We sent in Daniel to demonstrate for those not in attendance the creative expertise you get when you hire CSS.
Some of our own did make the guest list, including the likes of Max and Mandy Thrasher. Others, well… If you're familiar with the ABQ who's-who, you'd recognize a few faces. If you could see them.
CSS's attention to detail was outstanding. From the exceptional, floating masks to the half-past-twilight lighting, the streamers to the beads, the whole room took on an impossible, otherworldly quality. It may not have been quite the Witching Hour, but magic sure did seem possible.
And what fundraiser is complete without runway modeling?
