Starlight Gala

Once again, the Philadelphia Museum of Art's young friends' took over the Great Hall for their annual gala. **Starlight** was the theme. Propped against various walls, posterboard cutouts of 50's icons such as James Dean and of course, Marilyn Monroe added to the retro feel. Some girls wore vintage gowns (even if their dates didn't seem as enthusiastic about dressing up in 50's attire). Though attendance was off a little this year, by ten p.m. the dance floor managed to be the main attraction and as usual, the PMA staff was hard-pressed to herd everyone out by the Cinderella curfew.
