Kentucky

This was a ball; a real high class event. There were no blatant faux pas, like ostentatious eye makeup or overbearing decolletage or Convention Center cement walls dressed in bunting. The polite, conservative mannered Kentuckians poured southern hospitality almost as easily as the booze flowed from the bottles of Jim Bean and Maker's Mark. And when the music began, "grinding" to Pink was far from making an appearance. (But Ashley Judd and Mama Judd did and Blue grass charm radiated from them). The entertainment here included Motown's finest, The Temptations, who sang Happy Birthday to Muhammad Ali

...and I photographed it all.

This was the nicest of the the 7 balls I have attended.
