Prom Post - Villa Vegas

Villa Vegas - The Licence to Graduate

"My name is Bond, James Bond"

First of all, let me tell you something about my school. I'm attending the fifth, senior,  class of the Higher Educational Institurion for Tourism Villa Blanka in Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria. It's a prestigious school where rich parents, in general hoteliers, sent their children to guarantee that one day they will continue their business.
But that's enough information about my school, let's get back to the prom.

Pre-Prom-Time

The senior classes choose the theme for the prom and the fourth classes have the job to organize the whole prom to the last detail: The decor, the needed space, the menu, the band, the dj's, the prizes of the tombola, the sponsors, the number of students, who will work at the prom ...
And other things the senior classes have to do is to plan the polonaise dance and the midnight act.
Only two girls of my class danced polonaise with one of the parallel classes and the rest of us girls danced the midnight act. We just practiced the dance steps three times and hoped for the best.
Everything was perfect, my table, the menu, the people, who I want to take to the prom, but there was one problem: My dress!

I looked for a perfect dress, that goes with my figure for a long time and I found it 17 days before the prom: A long strapless, A-cut dress, that goes from the top to the bottom with the colours turqois to white. I really fell in love with it! My mom also liked it and so I ordered the dress. But it would be delivered within 17 days and I wanted to sicure that if it was too long or too wide, I have the time to go to my tailor. So I chatted with someone of the customer service and she secured me that I'll got the dress in 14 days. I was really happy about that. I waited and waited and waited for it to come. The 14th day came, but no dress. On the 15th day, two days before the prom I wrote the customer service, what happened with my dress and they told me that there were a few problems and I'll get it in 17 days. I really got mad and told them that they can keep it and that I don't need it in 17 days, I need it in two days!! I'm getting mad again when I think about it.
That's the dress:



I had no choice, I had to buy a dress from a boutique in my home town. I was so glad that I found a similar dress: An A-cut dress with the colours white to green with long straps that were tied together on the neck. The straps behind are so long that they can look like a scarf, which gives the dress a fresh note.
My aunt pinned my hair up and my cousine made my make-up.


25th January 2013 - Promtime

Me and my mom were a few minutes too late but it was no big deal. Our table was in the restaurant in front of the glass facade, from where we had a great view over Innsbruck.
The menu was delicious and the wine and drinks tasted good.
After the meal, all graduates had to go in pairs through the whole ballrom to the stage. The polonais dance started. It was really great, they did a good job.
My best friend had the chance to be the prom queen and so our families bought her many pearls. The one with the most pearls becomes the queen. But unfortunately another girl got more pearls. I don't like her!
The band was great. They played awesome songs and the singer had an amazing voice.
The midnight act was real fun! A few weeks ago we danced a flash mob during lunch in school, while one of our teachers was filming. Everybody was surprised because the act started with a huge dispute between the villain, Dr. No, and his victim. The villain beated the victim down, but he got caught in the act by James Bond. The pursuit began.
This film was the beginning of the midnight act, followed by the pursuit through the whole school. After this short movie we, the Bond Girls, started our tempting and seductive dance. Unfortunately some of us drank a bit too much, so that they couldn't stay straight. But we did well. The end of the act was that we girls attracted Dr. No. While my best friend seduced him, I extracted his dog. After that we detained him, so that James Bond could shoot him down. So we started dancing again and made a pass at James Bond.




Yeah, that was the end of the prom. The aftershow party took place at the "Stadtcafé", a great location for parties.

But I'm not going to tell you about it. You don't have to know, how I'm partying. ;)
