There were 13 of us, includin my mama and Bibba who headed out on Friday to enjoy the festivities at the 26th Sweet Potato Queens Festival and St. Patty's Day Parade in Jackson, MS. We had a rippit of a time, girls and I brought some pictures back to share. Friday night was the SPQ Ball at Hal & Mal's, complete with Kacey Jones, great food, and a pole for dancin on, which was somethin this queen has definitely not seen cept on color tv. Then it was on to the Hilton for the "Afterglow" party, which was Hi-ly entertainin to say the LEAST!!! Saturday was the annual parade in downtown Jackson where Queens from all over the United States and everywhere else paraded and had a fine time. From there, we went back tot he Hilton for jello-wrasslin (which I did not watch nor participate in due to myown aversion to jello products as a whole and the fact that wrasslin is waaaaaaaay to close to bein exercise, anyhoo-)and the BIG ASS BBQ, which was deeeeeeelicious to boot! That evening, we went to the Pearls and PJs Ball at the Hilton. I have decided that Jill Connor Browne is a genius just for comin up with this thing because I have never been so comfortable at a ball in my whole life!!!! PJs--what a great idea!!! Sunday, we all came and listened to JCB and ate the most fantabulous food ever for the Bathrobe Brunch where, you guessed it--we lounged in our bathrobes and ate and ate and talked an talked and when ALL that was over--WE DID NOT WANT TO GET IN THE CAR AND LEAVE, but we had to, so sadly, the weekend came to a close!!!! Overall it was a wunderful time had by all and we met soooooo many interesting groups, like the Breaux Bridge queens and the Lafayette Queens who rode their Harleys all the way from home to be there with us and looked deevine at that!!! We are invitin them to come be with us in September cause they are just too kewt for words!!! Hope you enjoy the pics, girls and please--try to come next year--It was soooooooo much fun!!! Ya'll take care and be sweet!!!
