March 1, 2019 was the Seventh Anniversary of B-Uniq Sophisticated Ladies (BUSL) The Uniq is intentionally spelled that way to make it Unique.
BUSL Queen, Queen T. assigned pairs of us to decorate a table. Regalia colors of red and purple for Red Hatters and pink and lavender for Pink Hatters were to be used. Gold, silver, pearls, rhinestones and any other bling could be used at will. That's a large part of being a Hatter- blinging it up.
The tables would be judged by visiting Queens who'd be attending the anniversary. There would be a first, second and third place winner. Below are the tables. A wide array of items were used making each table unique.
I can't remember who won, but whoever it was deserved it. All of the ladies worked hard.
In addition to this stand out feature, there was a program which included, impersonators of The Supremes, Ike & Tina Turner, an illusionist and a true singer of an Aretha Franklin song. Each year we have Mr. M. our fantastic DJ jamming out the tunes. There was a silent auction, door prizes, vendors, lunch, dancing, and all sorts of gaiety.
Several of the BUSL hatters husbands are always champs in helping out with the heavy lifting, driving and just wherever they can help out. I've jokingly said that we should call them Red Cappers and get them red caps since most men seem to prefer a cap to a hat.
There were about 140 ladies who attended the Seventh Anniversary. It was great seeing many who'd come in from out of town and who I'd made friends with at other hoots.
After such a grand and joyous affair, I slept like a log that night. ZZZZ
