Once a year, GEM (Grenoble Ecole de Management) organizes a HUGE Gala for that year’s graduating classes. 28 Euros covered your admission, champagne for the evening and an excuse to dress up. How could the roommates and I not go?
I was astounded at the level of preparation and decoration that the organizing committee undertook. They seemed to transform the school overnight. The theme was Last Night in the 1900s, and everything was covered in either red, black or deep purple. It was the most lavish party I have ever attended; not only did everyone look amazing in their suits and evening gowns, but the school was quite glamorous as well.
Francesco, Nicole and I spent the night people watching, sipping champagne, and dancing. We did not get home until almost 4am; more than ready to take the stilettos off and get to bed! It was quite fabulous indeed.
All dolled up

Champagne anyone?
Plastic champagne glass ruins and heels – the theme of the evening
Rich red carpet everywhere – so glamorous!
Midnight snack – only in France do you have champagne and quiche at a student party
It’s been a good night…
oo la la
Time to dance
Time to pose
Oh! Lights
Too cool
