SUZY STUMP: ADULT PROM THIS SATURDAY IN TACOMA >>>

Saturday at 7 p.m., Sanford and Son Antiques hosts an adult prom with the theme “Copacabana,” featuring music by The Toughtimes, Si Si Si and DJ Infinity. Which reminds me: What ever happened to Barry Manilow’s nose? I vaguely remember hearing terrible news reports that the man who writes the songs that make the whole world sing walked into a wall and maimed his precious proboscis. It was so bad that he was even talking about surgery. Oh Mandy, I can’t bear the thought.

Anyway, Sanford and Son’s adult proms are a serious blast â€" with prom photos, dancing, food and booze.

Everyone will dress fancy â€" on the Cuban side I imagine â€" because music and passion always require fashion … or something.

So while you salsa and merengue Saturday in a dress cut down to there, take a moment and think of Barry and his treasure of a nose.
