2009 Berry Queens' Hi! Tea

Our tea this year was soooooooo much fun and the hats were gi-normous and fabulous!!! Thanks to Queen Good Will for the use of her most bee-you-tee-ful home and to all the Queens/DIVA Queens and DIVAs who provided us with the deelicious and deelectible treats!!! Many thanks, too, to Queen of Sold, for the wunderful door prizes which she so graciously provides us for our events! We are gearing up for our 2009 Berry Queens' Ball and Pageant and I was able to introduce the 2008 members to our newest members and contestants for this year's event. They are kewt as they can be and so talented, too! We all just can't wait and hope you will come out and support Iberia Habitat for Humanity and The Berry Queens at our event. I have it on good authority that Her Honorable-ness, Mayor Hilda Curry will be attending our event, as well as a few other special guests, too! We hope that you will come see. Tickets go on sale August 1st and will be available from The Berry Queen members and by calling the Iberia Habitat for Humanity office at 337-367-3083! Till then, here are a few photos of our most recent event for your enjoyment! I will put up the rest of the photos when I get them! Thanks to Queen Mum for providing these from her veryowncamera!!!! Also, many thanks to Angelina at Jolie Fleur florist for donating the most excellent centerpiece for our event. She is the designer of last year's winning table arrangement for our DIVA Beverly, so we can't wait to see what she will do this year!!!!
Isn't it FABULOUS!!!!!!
Now, on to our Hi! Tea pics...


The food was DEELICIOUS and A-plenty!!!!

The Queens pose for a few photo ops!!!!
Finally, I have ONE LAST THING....We have one more competitor whom I have not yet introduced to you, yet...Queen Hell N. Heels

She is the next to last queen on the back row by Queen DIVA Doc and she has on a striped black and white hat. I JUST met Betty recently during the SPQ weekend and thought she would make a great addition to our competitors list, but Queen Cher Be'be' was sent on a SECRET mission to spend the weekend talking her into it and do you know--SHE DID IT! She came to me of her own free will and asked if she could participate (and there was only a semi-large amount of adult-like beverage involved!) without me having to do ANYTHING!!!! Ya'll are going to love her because not only is she funny--SHE ACTUALLY DOES WEAR HEELS ALL THE TIME!!! so her name really fits her! If you didn't get a chance to meet her--I hope you will soon!

I am thrilled about all the ladies who are participating this year--they are outstanding!!!! Ya'll Be Sweet!
