 Débutante BBQ @ Happy Dog Gallery
Presented by Division|Collective

 The public debut of four womanesque graduates (and one “little sister”) of SAIC’s MFA in Writing program.
After two years hunched over quill and ink, the apple-cheeked, cherry-eyed, melon-mouthed debs finally tossed aside schoolyard shackles!  

With dainty fortitude, they blossomed like literary tulips into their true roles,
wives and mothers! To celebrate, the debutantes offered a final reading of droll, inoffensive stylings at Happy Dog Gallery.
