Krewe de Les Femmes Mystique introduced its court Friday at DiamondJacks Casino & Hotel Ballroom with much ado.

Calling itself the "Hot Wave Hotties," the group bowed on stage and asked everyone to join in on the 2nd Line Dance that is so popular at all krewe functions.

The 2008 Queen Catherine Vanderberry was a hottie hit in red with sparkling gold trim and a blue banner, while Captain Sandy franks sparkled in a slim long black dress overlaid with her gold banner.

And Lady of Love Karen Barnes was so excited about her green two piece ensemble etched in gold to give the hemlines and sleeves an exotic leaf effect.

"I ordered it from Africa," said Barnes.

It was stunning.

Other court members: Lady of Art Susie Montgomery; Grace Angel Alexander; Light Wanda Clements; Music Bedgood; Truth Sandy Park.

And, we gotta tell ya — Justinian King 2008 Attorney Merritt Chastain was among those boogieing his way through that 2nd Line Dance.

Havin’ fun!

And, that is what the fab Mardi Gras celebration is all about.
