Lady Chablis, Grand Empress, and MJQ at Large and Being a Survivor
. click for a big ol’ pic( the ice pack I wore under this gown had to come off when the street dancing started:0) April 30 2010 coronation
MJQs and Ladies went to Club One last night, Saturday 22, 2011 and it will be a day that goes down in our Royal History books. WE were honored by Lady Chablis who accepted a sash that proclaims that she is now a a Mint Julep Queen at Large. The show was so fun and The Lady was charming as ever. The bartenders and every perfomer made us feel welcome.
Last time I was in a tiara and green gown, I had had a needle biopsy that afternoon and was facing breast cancer with a lumpectomy to be done a week later. On April 30th, 2010 Flouncing and laughing with friends helped me get my mind of the fear and pain. Last night, the joy and enthusiasm of life was so thick. The smoke machine on the dance floor could not keep up with the good vibrations The MJQs created. I was so happy to be surrounded with fun-loving enthusiastic woman show know no fear or at least when they do get scared, it is still OK to dance like nobody is watching, (and I believe the people who are watching us should be applauding.) Being a SURVIVOR is Royal in every way.
Queen Becky was in Chicago and we missed her . Queen Annie had a big birthday event for a friends that she had committed to attend. She was so missed. Queen Mary is still recovering from knee replacement and Pattie is too. Holly had no sitter and with her consort off in D.C she was unable to come out and have fun. Rats..
We will add 4 or more enthusiastic Queens who are not as busy. Linda came up with the description of “reluctant” queens. Reluctance is fine. But reluctance made several MJQs miss a stellar evening.
New MJQs to crowned in Spring will be Queen Lois, and 3 more!!!!????
I would write more about the night, but after having three super strong drinks, and dancing my skinny flat butt off, I am a tad tired. Pictures will have to follow later…MUCH later.
