1999 Ducal Ball

This was Dana's first  Ducal Ball, and what a thrill it was!  The Silver Dollar Court has embraced the Reno transgender community, and they showed their pride in themselves and in us by inviting four of "Leona's Girls" (Leona is the wonderful owner of "The Hidden Woman," a small transformation salon that is the center of the TG community.) to carry the flags down the aisle to the stage to open the event.  It was a public showing of support and unity that I hope gets duplicated all over the country.

(I hope someone who views this page has a photo of us carrying those flags or standing on stage with them while the national anthems of the USA and Canada were  being played!  I'd like to add that here.)

OK, here come the photos!  (With captions if I can tell you what was going on.)

 

Divannah Monte, one of the candidates for Duchess, wore this fantastic costume for her musical number.

There were great songs, dances and production numbers all evening!

...including a presentation by our Emperor himself.

I believe these are all members of the outgoing Ducal House; the Duke and Duchess in the front.

The new Duke and Duchess kneel, as the crown is placed on new Duchess Zaza's head. (Well, they tried to, anyway. Didn't want to mess up the hair,  though.)

And here they are!

A pose for the cameras...

There was time after the ceremonies for pictures--
These are three of our TG gals with the new Duke & Duchess: Beverly and Vickie of Reno,  and Janis of San Francisco.

I got in there, too! Here's Dana and Beverly with the royal couple.

And another one; this is Janis and Dana.

 

Carly and Dana shot each other, outside the Sands Regency Hotel. (Carly is dressed MUCH better for the cold weather!)

Then we were off to the 1099 Club, center of Reno's GLBT community. The new Duke & Duchess stopped by, to be honored by all.

I think Zaza was pretty happy that night...
