We moved to the east coast at the same time and have had similar struggles living in such a "diverse" city. Neighborhoods, schools, jobs, bars, etc. are all drastically segregated, leaving us as "token" minorities. Recently, Courtney joked about how living in some of the most conservative realms of the city has made her want to wear the most outlandish outfits. I like to think of her waving her middle finger in the air while wearing her Bill Cosby sweater and spiked rings, but that might not be appropriate for class.

So when she attended 20's inspired Barrister's Ball (Law Prom),she stood out from from the rest, as usual. Though I have to admit, I was a little sad she didn't go the zoot suit route she had initially intended.

"It's our last opportunity to act out and dance like mad as a collective before the onslaught of finals preparation kicks into high gear. Open bar, messy, chaotic, sweaty, only somewhat predictable. This is also how I would describe some aspects of the law."
Iconoclast and fashion icon, Courtney is someone to keep an eye on in the future.
