Bal Masque' 2008



Every year Mark and I are invited to Bal Masque'. My sister-in-law is a member and she always sends us an invitation. It is very unique in that the members of the group perform for the guests. Our friends Teresa, Pam and Glenda are also members. A Queen is elected from the group members every year and she determines what the theme, music, and costumes will be for the following year at the Ball. They spend the entire year preparing for the event and the members begin dance practice and making costumes months before. This year's theme was Rhinestone Cowgirls. The western theme was too cute (Mark was upset they didn't notify him ahead of time so he could wear his Wranglers). There are several members in the group, so there are about eight dance groups. You can check out the pictures of our friends dancing on the flickr site. They all did a great job and the evening was just perfect. The food at Bonefish Grill was incredible - that was my first time there. I loved it - I will be returning! The company was fantastic and it helps that my husband looks very hot in a tuxedo. The band was excellent. We had a great time and will look forward to next year. Thanks for the invitation Dell! Love you!
