A Southern Life

Masquerade Ball

Carnival Season in New Orleans is a wonderful time. Then entire season assaults your senses with colors and sound. One of the most sensational events, for me, is the Nyx Myx Masquarade Ball. It is invitation only and formal tux and floor length gowns and masks are required.

I have lots and lots of pictures to share, but in this post, I’m going to concentrate on the tables and atmosphere of the room.

The colors, the lights (notice the stars on the ceiling and the colored uplights on the walls) everything sparkled and glittered, including the people.

This ball was held at the Hilton Riverside in their grand ballroom and, grand it was.

Here is a sparkling picture gallery of this event.

Hope you enjoyed the ball – more pics of the ball to come so you can see some of the beautiful gowns and masks!

    May I just say what a relief to uncover someone who genuinely knows what they are talking about online. You certainly understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important. A lot more people must look at this and understand this side of your story. I can’t believe you are not more popular since you definitely possess the gift.

    Aw, this was a very good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to generate a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and don’t manage to get nearly anything done.

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

    Next time I read a blog, I hope that it won’t fail me as much as this particular one. I mean, Yes, it was my choice to read, nonetheless I genuinely believed you’d have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of moaning about something you could possibly fix if you were not too busy searching for attention.

    Il ritmo veloce e i grandi moltiplicatori spiegano la popolarità di Crazy Time in Italia.

    Prima di ogni giro la Top Slot abbina in modo casuale un moltiplicatore a un segmento della ruota.

    Cash Hunt propone una parete di 108 moltiplicatori nascosti tra cui scegliere il proprio bersaglio.

    In condizioni favorevoli il gioco può pagare fino a 25.000x l’importo scommesso.

    Si consiglia di giocare in modo responsabile e di fissare limiti di spesa.

    Il gioco si svolge con un conduttore in carne e ossa e streaming in tempo reale.

    La ruota è divisa in 54 segmenti che includono i numeri 1, 2, 5 e 10 e quattro caselle bonus.

    Nel round Crazy Time una ruota virtuale a tre colori può regalare i moltiplicatori più alti del gioco.

    La vincita massima teorica di Crazy Time può raggiungere 25.000 volte la puntata.

    Si consiglia di giocare in modo responsabile e di fissare limiti di spesa.
