Kitty: The Uncrowned Homecoming Queen

Here she is.... copping attitude prior to the coronation festivities.... putting her game face on, dig? This is a role no one, not even Kitty, ever thought she'd be studying for. But, I think she was "getting it" by utilizing her inherent method acting skills. She also had her nails professionally manicured days before and nevermind that she broke one of them, but so go the ways of our hapless art baby. Only she could survive a nail break in the face of such tension.

The coronation ceremony was action packed with lots of ramp up entertainment including the rousing marching band numbers and a fellow classmate singing the entire version of "If I Were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof. (I'm still trying to figure out how that song related to the event, but .... whatever.) She didn't win the title but (willfully if a bit begrudgingly) upheld her duties as a member of the court throughout an exhausting week of Homecoming activities on top of homework, midterms and her work & party schedules. She, by the way, was the one who rendered the BLACK letters in the HOMECOMING banner displayed above the royalty troupe, scoffing quietly about whomever drew the substandard RED letters. Needless to say, Kitty has other talents beyond her beauty, brains and ability to lose with style. Below, a final photograph of she and her escort Travis (T-Ravis or Earnest T, as I've lately referred to him) who is known for sporting the Tshirt around town he made for himself with LESBIAN emblazoned across it. As they were introducing the couples during their ceremonius walk towards the stage, the MC quoted Earnest T-Ravis as saying his future plans included revolution.
