Let's hope so.
A few minutes ago I received an email stating "What a great shot in the paper today!", followed by a facebook comment reading "Loved your pic in The Scene today!".
Um, what?
Oh, yeah. That.
Last weekend, the husband and I attended our FAVORITE (caps is definitely necessary... it's that good) event of the year, Dancing in the Woods. It's a black-tie charity gala sponsored by Albany Medical Center, held in the old Macy's space in Crossgates Mall. You would be amazed at the transformation from vacant department store to gorgeous ballroom. They go all out.
And it's open bar. Duh.
Ooh, and the New York Players perform. Our wedding band, remember? We even got a shout-out. I love being us.
Back to the topic at hand. While on the dance floor, we noticed the events photographer from the Times Union. We know him, he knows us and he's photographed us at other various events over the years. We noticed his flash going off quite often in our vicinity but kept dancing like fools anyway. Stupid, stupid idea. Why, oh why didn't we walk over to him to pose like normal people?

At least Nick looks good. I, on the otherhand, am a dancing, screaming fool. I'm assuming it was a good song ;)
The photo was captioned with "Carolyn and Dominick Purnomo light up the dance floor during Dancing in the Woods". Light up? Really? Husband's glowing expression, yes. Mine? Not so much. Thankfully I shaved my arm pits that day. ha
I'm feeling slightly embarrassed. But that's just my vanity speaking. And here it is again...

What I looked like from the front. With my mouth closed.
So, as for today's press? Begrudgingly, I'll take it. Anything to get people to notice me right? Even if they are laughing.
