Minutes before the ceremony was about to begin, I walked into the ladies' room where everyone was primping before the big event.

On a side note - true story: our auditorium is shared space with Chicago's Auditorium Theater. "Les Miserables" is playing right now and they didn't even bother taking the set down from the earlier matinee for the graduation ceremony. I accepted my degree walking across the revolution-torn street of 1789 France.
