Ottobar 80s Prom
I had a blast shooting Polaroids all night at the Ottobar’s 4th Annual “Pretty In Pink” 80s Prom. City Paper sponsored the event and when they asked me if I wanted to do this again, my only requirement was that I be paid in film. Warning, Jew jokes ahead! CP Superstar, Linda Bernstein (I guess that would be a Star of David) organized this event and managed to come up with a decent amount of film, but since she’s a Jew I had to pay her back for the cost of the film in Polaroid photo sales. We didn’t do it that way the last time I did this party. Anyway, all is good because I love Linda and if I was a Jew I’d probably be cheap too.
The couple of the night: Nila & Craig
I was told that Wilma Martinez was nominated for Prom Queen! I didn’t see the ballot or even get to vote, but I would surely have voted for her since she is the most beautiful woman in all of Baltimore. But the next day after the prom, I went through my bag and found a gift certificate to the Soundgarden for $25, but it was issued to the Prom Queen. I love a little bit of mystery and I won’t think about it beyond this posting.
Matty Metro & Simon
I barely know this woman, but I’m determined to make her my friend. Her name is Jen.
Addicted To Love!
Marishka (right) came in dressed like a Robert Palmer chick and then we saw another one!
Debbie and Matt Walter look so cute in their 80s gear. I don’t know why Matt is so crippled by UK fashion…he should always wear Members Only.
Here’s that Jew whore, Linda.
I want to see him in a cage fight with the lead singer of A Flock of Seagulls.
Get Happy!

Jen Marsh: The Queen of City Paper
IMPORTANT INSANE UPDATE!!! I just found out that Wilma Martinez actually WON and is the official Pretty in Pink Prom Queen!!! Apparently, this is what happened… 200 or something like that ballots were stolen (just like in Carrie!) and there was no real way to determine the winner. So Craig Boarman announced the nominees and the winner was determined by audience response..and Wilma won! I don’t know if the crowd knew how amazingly glamorous she is or they just went with their gut.
Here’s a classic Polaroid of Wilma.
WILMA MARTINEZ:
THE QUEEN OF THE “PRETTY IN PINK” 80S PROM!!
