Halloween Masquerade Ball

Last night we went to a masquerade ball and dinner at the club house.  It was a charity event for the Children's Trust Endowment Fund, which helps prevent child abuse.  The costumes were fantastic. I can remember Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb, Cleopatra, a Christmas Tree, Draculas, cowboys, a flapper, the butler from Rocky Horror Picture Show and several girls from the 50's.

The Red Queen
The food was okay: pork roast, shrimp bar, mashed potatoes, green beans, roasted veggie orzo and mousse for dessert.  It was very similar to the dinners we have on Tuesday nights at the club house.  Very high in sodium and fat, but tasty.

There was a live band and the drinks were flowing.

I am wearing the dress I bought at the antique store in Daytona Beach a few weeks ago.  It is very shiny and itchy.  I can not believe someone had actually worn it out of the house.  

I thought it made a great dress for the queen, until I saw someone dressed up in this fancy Red Queen outfit.


I am already thinking of what to wear next year.
