Dyke Ball and whatnot

It's time for the Dyke ball update!
This past week was lesbitrans week here at Wellesley College, and it was good stuff. It kicked off with Dyke ball and the vote for BDOC (Big Dyke On Campus) and continued with various speakers throughout the week that I didn't go see.
Dyke ball was fun fun fun! Saturday afternoon Sara and I went to Boston for early birthday crepes and to find the Sephora store. Sara got makeup and I got black nail polish and was surprised by the amount of men in the store. I mean, there's no reason why there shouldn't be men in a highly girly make up store, I guess...sheesh, I'm getting closed-minded in my old age. After our Prudential Center adventure and some lovely lovely crepes (where the woman made fun of me for ordering a Firehouse without the hot sauce) we high-hoed it back to Wellesley and got ready for Dyke ball.
I have some lovely photos, I hope. My camera is acting funky. Maybe I'll get my act together and get a new one this summer.
There are only two big campus parties all year: Tower court and Dyke Ball. People generally get kind of excited about Dyke ball because women go practically naked and men are SUPPOSED to go in drag, although some opt for the black tie option while others opt for the naked option, probably because they wish they were women. Or maybe they're just really drunk. I don't know. But anywho, lots of people from off campus try to sneak in, and by lots of people I mean guys. I guess in years past they could get in pretty easily, but they switched the format this year so they check IDs like three times and pat you down to make sure you aren't bringing a camera or cellphone in (and I guess they feel for alcohol bottles too, although they were more worried about the cameras). And they turned away guys who didn't have a Wellesley escort. So there were no sketchtacular guys just wantonly roaming, although Sarah did get propositioned by some dude.
I am happy to report that nobody propositioned me, although one guy did say he liked my tie. I liked my tie too.
Well, Dyke ball was a lot of fun, but there was a big brew-ha-ha because 11 people got hospitolized for alcohol related reasons and NPR picked it up and it was all over the news everywhere. I just have to say, that I didn't see anyone who was completely sloshed, unlike at Tower Court where there were people who were barely concious who they blithely let in. Anywho, because of all the bad PR they ended up suspending both Dyke ball and Tower Court until there is a solution for the "binge drinking problem." (Complete crap, if I may say so. People weren't getting drunk at the actual party; if they were drunk all the drinking was occuring in their dorm rooms before, and nobody can control that.)
The rest of the week was run of the mill. I went to dinner at my aunt's on Wednesday and it was yummy yummy yummy! Lent starts on Monday, pi day.
I need a paper topic for my Anthro paper.
Next week: English paper due, live donor kidney transplant, KELLY AND MARIE COME VISIT and Spring break starts. Yay!
