After the Ball!!

Well,  Ball 38 is now just a memory but I have to say Captain Ty and the Krewe pulled off a  great one!  The crowd was wild and that always makes for a great ball!  So everyone knows now that King and Queen are Robert (aka Mona Lot) and Kaylynn,  both well deserved titles!  The KOOTI award (for the most memorable mishap) went to Gary (aka Alicia Allure) for ordering the wrong color dubloons and being too sick to go onstage to present his costume!  Oh, well, at least he's ready for next year!  And yours truly, Miss Ginger Grant, was thrilled to be awarded the Anna Nicole Smith Marshall Memorial Award for the most sick and twisted concept!  Nurse Goodbody was a hit, and as soon as somebody sends me some pictures I'll get them on the blog for you!

And then there was the after ball brunch!  What can I say?? Miss G had waaaaay too much fun at that party!  Annie and her committee had done such a great job organizing the set up that we were ready to start the party 3 hours before it's start time.  So we did! Other than a brief but frustrating technical moment with the VCR (yes,  the ball video was on VHS.  Miss G hasn't played one of those in years!)  the ball video viewing was tons of fun,  and Miss G had way too much champagne!  So instead of watching the King and Queen open presents,  she went up to the dressing room where her kitties were in exile to take a little cat nap with them.  Thank goodness Annie found her and got her into bed or she would have slept on that hardwood floor all night long!  Let's just say Miss G didn't feel too pretty this morning,  and she suspects many other krewe members were kind of hurting as well!  What a fun weekend!  It all came together and I think everyone had a good time,  and that's what it's all about!  Happy Mardi Gras to all!!!
