The Hottest Ticket In Town (?)

This Saturday is the Mystery and Fantasy Mardi Gras Party.  I joined this group a few years ago because I always had a fun time at the party...from what I can remember.

The party always has a theme.  This year it is Science Fiction.  I'm not a big SciFi fan so I'm opting for a tux with a mask.

The party is by invitation only which means you have to know one of the hosts.  Each host is given a limited number of invitations and since there are only 60 of use, there really are a limited amount of invitations.

Limelight's new decor fits perfectly into the SciFi theme.  Many of our guests haven't been to 2401 San Jacinto since it has been remodeled so they are definitely in for a treat!

Oh, and in case you don't believe me about the hottest ticket in town, this was posted on Facebook earlier this week:

RECAP – Mystery & Fantasy Mardi Gras Party: Fairy Tales

Even though we are in the Lenten Season, Mardi Gras is still on my mind. Even though I didn’t make it to The Big Easy for the festivities, it was still a fun time in the Bayou City. My Mardi Gras Season consisted of attending the Krewe of Olympus-Texas ball, Galveston Mardi Gras with EPAH, the Diana Foundation Mardi Gras Party and of course Mystery & Fantasy Mardi Gras Party.

This year our theme was Fairy Tales and the theme really inspired people to be creative with their costumes. It was the night of 1,000 Red Riding Hoods, OK well maybe not that many but you get the idea. There were more than 7 dwarves, a few Prince Charmings, Mother Goose, and so you get the idea.

We received many compliments on the decorations. We transformed Rich’s into its own special Wonderland. Walt Disney would have been proud.

For my costume I decided to go as Antonio Banderas as Puss n Boots. That’s me in the cat mask. The other photos are of various guests and some of the decorations. To see more photos, visit John Cox’s photo album on Facebook.

Before I started adorning my costume with these crystals, I thought I would snap a pic for you.
