a coronation ball

February 7, 2011

Jessica guessed it . . . the mystery behind the mask and feathers are my mother, Dutchess Ruia and my father Duke Joe of the Krewe of Venus.  Which is basically one of many fun, social clubs in Tampa.  They are serving on the court this year so a few of us attended their coronation ball in January.  Enjoy these few photos from the colorful Fire and Ice Event.

You might remember Queen Morgan from her Queen’s Ball . . . she’s presiding over the Krewe another year.

I believe that these are the proud grandparents of the queen.

the Queen of Venus

I had the pleasure of photographing the Krewe of Venus’ 2010 Queen’s Ball.  If you are not from Tampa, you probably are wondering what that means . . . or even if you are from Tampa, you might still wonder.  Well, you might remember me talking about the annual Gasparilla Pirate Invasion (my posts from 2010 & 2009). Well those pirates are upstanding citizens of the city of Tampa who are members of various Krewes. Each Krewe does different fundraisers throughout the year that support local charities. Additionally, each Krewe crowns an annual royal court presided over by the Queen and King. This past year, the beautiful Morgan Prevatt represented the Krewe as their Queen. Her gown was pretty incredible.  I told her that she was so pretty I could not stiop looking at her.

Anyway, here are just a quick few images from the Queen’s Ball in November.krewe of venus, tampa, queen's ball 2010 krewe of venus, tampa, queen's ball 2010 krewe of venus, tampa, queen's ball 2010
