<\/span>My inauguration celebration began on Saturday when I was fortunate to be Carlis from <\/span><\/a>SpicyCandy DC<\/a> plus one to the Illinois State Society Inaugural Gala. <\/span>When we walked into the gala, we were taken into a virtual state fair with corn dog machines and a room decorated with fake cowhides, cowboy hats, and even a fake horse. <\/span>The champagne and martinis flowed and the celebratory environment amongst all the attendees which were as diverse as the state of Illinois. <\/span>We paired champagne with deep dish pizza and danced the night away. <\/span> <\/span>We met up with two other friends and continued to the Chef\u2019s Ball with the fabulous Makeda from Glamazon Diaries. <\/span> <\/center> <\/center><\/p>\n <\/center><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
