BY Matthew Ramirez // 01.27.16What: Houston Center for Contemporary Craft‘s Margarita Madness! Celebrating La Quinceañera Gala.
Where: HCCC.
Who: Chairs Karina and Carlos Barbieri; HCCC’s forthcoming executive director Perry Price and wife Rosemary; HCCC board president Edward Lane McCartney and David Gooding; other VIPs included J. Michael Soliz, Minnette and Peter Boesel, Gracie and Bob Cavnar, Maria and Eduardo Morales, Sara and Bill Morgan, Victoria and Marshal Lightman, Julie and Byron Pettit, and Kara and Ulises Vidal.
PC Moment: Celebrating the 15th anniversary of HCCC, the margarita and quinceañera-themed bash was an unexpected twist on the center’s annual Martini Madness! gala. Bottomless margs, Green House Catering provided Latin American staples like ceviche, tostadas, tacos and empanadas, and quince-inspired fashions like rhinestone tiaras and traditional Mexican dresses filled out the festive night. Trio Fórte provided Latin tunes while Candylicious hosted a quinceañera-themed candy bar. A silent auction headlined with a trip to Puerto Vallarta inspired frenzied bidding.
