2012 Masquerade Balls in Eureka Springs
Eureka Gras Masquerade Balls
Always a sell out!
The Hookers and Jokers Ball on Thursday, February 17th at the Inn of the Ozarks Convention Center is renown for its pageantry as the Royal Court kicks into high gear with a mini indoors parade followed by costume contests that bring the house down.
The Grand Toast at the Coronation Ball on Friday, February 18th in the Crescent Hotel Ballroom is a Mardi Gras tradition that is hundreds of years old. Following the entrance of the newly anointed King and Queen and the former Kings and Queens, all glasses are raised in a Grand Toast that is followed by the Grand Promenade circling the Ballroom floor which ecstatically blossoms into the Royal Second Line and then the Dance of Protocol.
The Beaux Arts Ball on Saturday, February 19th in the Basin Park Hotel’s Barefoot Ballroom is a combination of artists, locals and tourists who learn to mingle and do the Second Line to Jazz and Blues. The King and Queen of 2012 make the Grand Entrance to great applause.
The Cajun King Cake Ball at the St. ‘Lizbeth Parish Hall is a new and wonderful tradition of masqueraders who dance the night away but at midnight – herald in the coming of the season of Lent.

Krewe of Proteus
My favorite tale of Proteus though, occurred in 1890. Due to financial hardship, Comus had been unable to stage a parade for a few years. In this interruption in Comus’s parading, Proteus and his krewe had claimed Carnival night as their own. When Comus return to parading in the 1890 season, Proteus refused to yield the night back to Comus.
Both Krewes set out on their routes that evening, doomed to cross paths. The location where the two Captains, each leading his krewe on horseback, met in opposition, could not have been more conspicuous; they met at the intersection of Bourbon and Canal. Each Captain refused to yield, cursing the other to stand aside. When the argument reached such a heated point where it seem violence was inevitable a man from the crowd (rumored to be a member of both organization, abstaining from both parades as he saw such an incident inevitable) grabbed each of the horses by the bridle and told the captains something. No one is entirely sure what exactly he said, but the Captain of Proteus stood aside, allowed Comus to pass, and solidified Comus’s place as the senior krewe for the rest of Carnival history

Watercolor by King Zeek
This is My latest Mardi Gras related watercolor, just finished this week. Decked out the King in my own crown and coronation jacket. Hope other artists will do Mardi Gras related work. Of course there is the Arti Gras exhibit (earlier post) that will showcase 14 risque Mardi Gras paintings. I love painting with purple!
Arti Gras Show
Krewe Chief Dan Ellis asked me to put together an art show, Arti Gras, that will be on exhibit Feb 14,15, & 16, at the Rowdy Beaver in Eureka Springs. I have lined up 14 of Eureka's most talented artists who will each create one piece for the exhibit. The work will be tastefully risque, a fun assignment that has the participating artists very excited about creating the work. A reception hosted by the Roi Regency, decked out in coronation finery, will take place on the evening of Feb 15.
This will be another FUN event added to a get-down-have-a-good-time, over-the-top, not-to-be-missed festival: EUREKA GRAS!!!
P.S. Dan has already added the event to the listings. Check back for updates.

To vote go to www.americanstyle.com/
AND in return for your vote, the ES arts community will participate in a new and exciting event: ArtiGras, an exhibit featuring a little bawdy, a little risque, and a lot of fun, ART.

Mardi Gras 2010
Time passes so quickly and Mardi Gras 2010 will soon be here! Prep is already underway to make it another fab and festive time. Don't delay, get out the glue guns, and start making those costumes now. Christmas decorations, especially in green, gold, and purple, make great decorating items for costumes. Hobby Lobby is already offering 50% off sales every now and then for Christmas decorations. Also, who knew that purple would become a Halloween color and Halloween decorations will soon be on clearance. Snatch up the Halloween "purples" for your costumes and umbrellas (and speaking of, remember this year's theme is "2nd line umbrellas.") We gonna' have some fun!
