Veggie Conquest

We felt Veggie Pride Parade weekend wouldn’t be complete without a prom… so that’s what we did! On Friday, May 14, we got dressed up, invited all of our friends to littlefield in Brooklyn, and danced and ate vegan desserts all night long! Everyone could get their picture taken by the wonderful Ben Strothmann at our photobooth! Then we all went to V-spot for the afterparty and met new friends and ate empanadas!

People came decked out in their most beautiful and creative attire. Two prom-goers dressed as vegan cupcakes! Thanks to everyone who came — and for those of you who didn’t, you must join us next year. It was a party we will not soon forget. I have already started to look for my dress for next year! A big thanks to exercisecompassion.com for taking all of these photos.

We had an amazing raffle to benefit Mercy For Animals!

DJ lil Ray and Dj iLan rocked it!

No prom is complete without a Prom Court! Our nominees were nominated for their hard work and good example set in the vegan community. From left: Lindsay Wolf, Marisa Wolfson, Abby Mallis, Michael Croland, David Benzaquen, our emcee Michael Parrish DuDell, and Michael Venzor! Congrats to all!
