The ravers for the party at Diesel Dive Bar were donned out in their partyoutfits for the staged shooting.
Unlike other sweet 16 episodes, Erika raised money for her party in the hopes ofinspiring other girls to make their memorable night a reality.
Erika wears her non-traditional black dress that was hard to find. There aren'tmany dress shops that make a dress in black. With the help of Zombiewalk Houston-- a non-profit that raises money for charity by roaming Houston's streets aszombies -- the scene was set for this photoshoot.
