Ball Mask XXV

SuperHeroes

February 03, 2008       Sunday Evening     8 - 10 PM

The Alario Center, Westwego, Louisiana

Lord David Boyd, the Lord of Misrule sounded the whistle to begin the celebration marking the Lords of Leather Silver Anniversary Ball XXV. The return of Lord King XXIV Danny Alford and Lord Consort XXIV Danny Starns marked the beginning of the ball as the tableau was presented. Our SuperHeroes theme kicked off with Aquaman who also served as the Master of Ceremonies.  The ultimate hero, Superman, was presented by the Lord of MisRule (Ball Captain). The sound of motorcycles  echoed through the hall as Ghostrider took the stage. From centuries ago, Conan the Barbarian made his way along the runway with dragons and snakes.  Then Spiderman was brought to life, thanks to the krewe's west coast baron. The stage was filled as the X-Men/Archangel made an exuberant entrance. From the wild west, the Lone Ranger accompanied by the Cowpoke Dancers had everyone hoopin and hollerin. Direct from Sherwood Forest, Robin Hood and his band of merry men filled the runway as they belted "We're men in tights." Miss Louisiana Leatherette 2008 presented Catwoman direct from her kitty perch. Every costume was terrific but when Spawn took center stage it was certainly a show stopper.  The Anniversary Ball culminated in the presentation of Lord King XXV, Michael Ducote as Batman and Lord Consort XXV Doug Minich as Robin.  The traditional grand march closed out the night as the krewe members celebrated 25 years of Leather, Love and Laughter.  Pictures will be posted soon.

Special thanks to:

  Lord David Boyd, the Lord of Misrule (Ball Captain) 

Lord Michael Ducote, Lord Temporal (Ball Lieutenant)

and all the other krewe members and volunteers who helped with the event.
