The damas (maids of honor) go from the church to the reception in a Ford Explorer limousine at Ruby's quinceañera, a coming of age tradition where a girl is welcomed into her community and adulthood, Huntington Park, California.

Riding in a limousine on your quinceañera just kind of adds to the emotion, you know? It's a princessy thing. Every girl dreams about being a princess and being pampered. You want to grow into being pretty and loved and everything. I wanted my damas to look like little princesses, Cinderella—style. They had their own little crowns.

I have really mixed feelings about the story of Cinderella. Of course, it's every girl's dream to find Prince Charming and marry and have a nice life. But Cinderella can't do anything for herself. She's dependent on the fact that Prince Charming's gonna come and take her, and if it weren't for him she would probably stay there, you know?
