Vanity Fair

The Tech had a benefit tonight at the brand new CineArts Theater at Santana Row, so Amytha and I went. They wouldn't tell us in advance what the movie was going to be, but we were hoping it might be Vanity Fair and were super excited when that turned out to be it! It was a really nice party with good food and watermelon martinis that were poured through an ice sculpture into your glass (Amytha is shown here catching her's) We ducked out for a quick peek at Anthropology and then met up with Candace for desserts and popcorn and the film.
The movie was excellent -- I've been seeing the previews everywhere and was so excited to see it! Reese Witherspoon was great and apparently a much more likable character than in the book. I'm a sucker for a good period piece, and the costumes were wonderful and it was just a beautiful movie to watch. Lots of twists and turns in the poor girl's life, and never a dull moment. It was so much fun to get a sneak peak (complete with red carpet and spotlights).
