Dancing in New Orleans

Dancing in Louisiana-esque heat isn't actually that fun, as the little trails of 'glow' trickling down your back tend to distract you from your dance steps.

Still, despite the unusual heat, and despite rather poor attendance due to poor planning (what silly person forgot and scheduled a dance on the same weekend as the Sevens, One Love, and the Martinborough wine festival? - oh wait, that would be me), we had a marvellous time, and have the photos to prove it.

Lillie Langtry II. Isn't her figure the most amazing thing!

We also voted on the next WHCS event, and the winner (by a landslide, though there may have been some vote rigging as somehow there were more ballots than attendees) is Have Tardis Will Travel - a Doctor Who Time Travelling Event.

Watch out for more details on that coming soon!

  1. Oh, err, that would be me. I couldn't make my mind up between the Marie Antoinette and the Juliet Capulet ball so I voted for both. AS neither won, I feel I can come clean! ;-)

  2. That makes you about the fourth person to confess!
