GAD Dinner Attire

Every year, at the conclusion of the All Volunteer conference, the Gender and Development program has a fund raiser dinner and silent auction, with proceeds going to fund small volunteer projects. The dinner gives everyone a chance to unwind, and has become sort of a "Peace Corps Prom" with volunteers grooming and getting gussied up for the first time in 8-12 months.

We, of course, gave it all the seriousness and dignity we could possibly muster:

Meet Albania's third favorite magician Zlato the Magnificent and his lovely assistant Yvlenka.

For the record, the black shiny vaguely reptile skin fake pleather fabric is commonly used to make mattresses here.

Now I'm looking for a volunteer from the audience to saw in half - anybody?

Classy. You two are just classy. Just like that time you dressed up for the April-May-June birthday party we had at Ellen's.

The last time I saw John Travolta in an outfit like that, he had hair.

Love you!
