A couple months ago, a good friend of mine, Jill went and got herself some tenure at a fine institution here in Philly. To celebrate, she and her baller husband threw a bash at her house complete with delicious Brown Betty cupcakes and everyone's favorite cookies which I baked up for the occasion. I also told her I'd be bringing along my photo gear and she obliged. After some standard portraits Art Director Kara called for props to which Jill produced animal snouts and an old timey stick on mustache. Above is one of the Philly area's finest fine art photogs Laura Kicey as a tigress. I only needed 2 frames to nail this one down because she rocked it.

Here's one of the many professor buddies of Jill's posing with the old timey mustache. It was a perfect fit. Think she might look like an old timey pugilist with the pose and those rocking arms? Well, that's because she is.

And who else was there? None other than The Most Interesting Man in the World Jim Zervanos.

And last but not least, the host and hostess with the mostess at 2.30a or so; still looking good.

Congrats to you again Jilly!
