The Secret Soiree

My friend, Stephanie, invited me to her anniversary party for her makeup company named Secret Society of Glam held at 3rd St Art Gallery. It was a night of fun, food, and fashion (and cocktails, but that didn't start with an 'F')








Lovey posing for the camera. I think it loves her.




Me and sissy!


The star of the night!
