queens gone wild (highland maquerade ball 2011)
mardi gras 2011, highland masquerade ball. we were in disguise so we can misbehave and nobody will know who we are... besides the fact that I took all these pics
this historic mansion makes a nice event location for the highland royalty. kat and I were supposed to help our friend matthew present the royalty, but I think we got there too late.
but we did meet the queen.
her crown was made of chicken feet and her gown made from leather gloves (to resemble feathers).
there was some absinthe being passed around.
the queen was mostly happy. she even bit my cheek like I was made of glazed donut.
she was the queen, if she felt like pouring cold water down your dress, she just might do it, (zoom in below)
then she turned the water bottle on the rest of us.
kat said this guys costume was beyond her comfort level, but she appreciated that we live in a place where he is free to dress this way.
kat LOVES a good buffet. she got a leg from the whole roasted pig. she also discovered Natchitoches meat pies.
our friend matthew in his king crown and personal light show.
getting a little beak.
matthew on stage with le freak
matthew was lit up like a christmas tree.
she danced the night away and out the door...
