Black Tie Event

Here is an old one I never published:

At the end of November Ben had to attend a formal black tie event for work and I got to go with him. It was really fun! I got my hair and make up done (which I never do otherwise - I do not even own any make up) and I got a cute little black dress and went into the city to meet him. 

I felt very special and enjoyed every minute of it. I picked Ben up from work and we ended up walking to the venue (no taxis to be found at rush hour) - the French Institute in New York.

First cocktail hour with lots of champagne and yummy little hors d'oeuvres. 

Then a delicious dinner with great company and a fun auction - unfortunately not in my price category. And the best about it was all the people watching. So many characters! I had a blast and it was really fun.
