Ok so for those of you who don't know I am obsessed with the Twilight book series by Stephenie Meyer. If you haven't read Twilight you need to.
This weekend to celebrate the third book coming out in August the author held a prom in AZ. Obviously yours truely negelected school and a lack of finances to get there.
Kelli and Katherine love Twilight! Kelli's boyfriend came, he doesn't love twilight, but he love's Kelli.
Tempe AZ is a nice town with nice people. When we got there (after a 7 hour drive) we ate at Claim Jumpers.
The hotel we stayed at was a Best Western. We got in too late to go anywhere besides dinner so we stayed in.
Katherine insisted we dress up. We're fierce right?
The next morning we got our hair done at the local Libby Lue. I know that store is supposed to be for kids, but for under 25 bucks they'll do your hair and give you a tiara. It was so worth it.
After that we made a mad-dash back to the hotel to finish getting ready.
We rushed to the First Prom and Brian drove. (He's such a good boyfriend to put up with all the girlieness Kelli is lucky to have him)
We got there at 2:15. We were late and Stephenie had alrady started reading the first chapter.
She is sooo beautiful in person and her dress was FABULOUS!!!
After the reading we got our books signed.
Then Katherine and I took pictures with "Edward" and "Jacob" from the books. Kelli came with "Emmet" so she didn't feel the need to take a picture.
We were really proud of our dresses (We each dressed as one cover of the three books out so far) so we took lots of pictures.
Prom #1 was awesome...but it was nothing compared to #2.
During the hour break we took some Charlie's Angel shots
My feet were dieing from the shoes so Kelli thought Brian should carry me.
Katherine and Kelli thought it was hilarious. I was not amused.
While for Prom#2 we decided to take some black and white photos.
We are soo classic.
Once inside we took pictures of the pretty centerpieces.
We spent a lot of Prom #2 dancing.
Prom#2 had more people dressed fancy, more dancing, and less stress because we didn't have to wait in anylines. So I'd have to say #2 was the best, but they were both super fun.
Before leaving Kelli and I took a picture with Jacob and Edward. I pretended Jacob was my date and he went for it.
Prom was amazing but the fun didn't stop there because we were headed to the I love Jacob Black Afterparty.
Brian opted to stay at the hotel while we went to the party so it was just the gals. The party was a pajama party. Fun!!!
"Jacob" and "Edward" came to the party.
Since when to Vampires need glasses?
I won a Best Fan art and got a Jacob Black statue.
Katherine got an ipod shuffle. Kelli got Stephenie Meyer to sign her Forks High School yearbook we made. We all got to take a picture with Stephenie.
So as you can imagine my life is close to complete. I know everyone says this but... She is sooooo nice. The party was AMAZING!!! We got these adorable "Doggie Bags" filled with Jacob themed treats. 5-5-07 was the best day of my life to date.
The next day we did the same 7 hour trip and maed it back home to Los Angeles. But not before taking pictures in our Eclipse prom shirts.
That was my trip.
