Hello MJQs and well wishers.  I have been too busy this summer and missed announcing Queen Dottie’s birthday! Shame, Shame, Shame on me!  It was June 13th and now she is off to the UK presumably to see the Queen and celebrate.  Dottie, give her a hug for me:) and tell her William is just darling and should marry that Kate girl.

(Click on any image to see in Royal size)Here is a sampling of the photos Paul, (owner of www.mysouthernwedding.com) took during the first part of the evening.

We had quite a Flounce on May 17th.  Please forgive my tardiness in even mentioning it.  My Common life is keeping me tooo busy for Royal matters.  (Horrors!) One very special event I must mention.  We crowned a charming little princess right after her equally sweet grandmother crossed the street in to our midst on Broughton Street.  Queen Dottie provided the lucky tiara.  For those that don’t remember, every time we appear in our Regalia we must crown a little princess for good luck.  Also it acknowledges that all females are Royalty from even a very young age and if treated as such,  properly encouraged (and so forth), they will rule their realm, as queen with grace and good-natured spirit in years to come.  I have no doubt that little Kayle will grown up to be a fabulous sovereign in her our right.  Thanks to her grand-mother,  Sandy for stopping to visit with us and let Kaylee be coroanted.  Reign On, Sandy and Kayle and when I find the image of the event I will send it on and post it.  (Goodness! I need a personal assistant to handle things that fall thought the Royal cracks.)

I am still recovering from the Saturday Night Coronation and the Friday night Wedding of Queen Jennifer.  My Feet hurt.  Flouncing is definitely a work-out. 

Please send Best wishes to Jennifer and Welcome our new Queens.  When I have time to post images I will. Plus I will send the disk to Queens that want one.  News on the event to follow later this week.

What do you wear to a Coronation?  Ask Queen Becky or Queen Dottie or Queen Sue.  Here is fine example of regalia. The Toys Be Us n Such scepter is a very nice touch. Notice how in pictures the most prom-y dress photographs so well.  Frankly, it is all in the posture and Queenly gaze, I think.  Remember, as royalty, we do not shy away from the camera!  The camera loves us and we indulge in poses for our subjects so that they can have a memento suitable for framing of our Highness.

Reign On! And Thanks to Queen Carolyn, April 12th will be a fun and flouncing Coronation.

Invited to be Mint Julep Queens 2008: The following ladies have attended 2 or more parties and have been quite Regal.  They enjoy us and we enjoy hanging out with them. They have been invited to join our group and if they attend April 12th Coronation, they will be Mint Julep Queens 2008.

Invited to come as a Lady in Waiting Spring 2008: These charming ladies have attended one party so far, and we love them. Hopefully in the future they will be able to become a MJQ, but frankly, they are Queens in their own right.

Queen Dee has been honored with the One Small Voiceaward from the Savannah Children’s Choir. Lady Bamford (British Royalty)was named also as a recipient this year.  A cocktail reception to honor these two ladies will be held at JCB on March 8th from 6:00-8:00.  The cost to attend is 100.00 per person and can purchased online at www.savannahchoir.org. Proceeds benefit the choir. What a regal and worthy cause!

Sadly my consort and I cannot attend since that very night we are giving a dinner party for a couple that purchased a gourmet game dinner we donated for the silent auction at the Junior Achievement Gala. Go to their website to learn more and send a donation to honor Queen Dee.

Today is darling Mary Ann’s birthday.  The MJQs sent her a cute card and I also sent a card from me.  Yes and special one I made on Kodak Gallery.  Seems spell check doesn’t happen when you do a personalized photo card on Kodak’s site and late one night after a looong day, I worked on her card.  I spelled Birthday, “birhday” on one part.  Lovely.  It is the thought that counts though,  n’est pas?

Mary Ann has missed many a queens event in 2007 due to a crushing work schedule and hopefully she will have more time this year!  If you haven’t met M.A, she is a fun-loving, super smart, gorgeous voiced, multi-talented MJQ with a Fab attitude.  I met M.A. almost 18 years ago (or more) when she and I were in a little production of My Fair Lady.  I was in the chorus and she was Professor Higgins’ housekeeper. I hope she and consort Fredrick had a lovely weekend in the Realm and celebrated her Royal day!
