It's A M'racle

M'racle is your new Miss Missouri Pre Teen in the National American Miss system.   She's a joy to work with, smart, and willing to go along with all my lighting experiments.

Art And Artifacts

Saturday night, May 2, the Kansas City Museum opened it's doors for the season with a combination of special art projects and artifacts from its extensive collection.   The art:  "Divining the Museum: Visions of Past, Present, and Future" was selected from entries submitted by area artists and students at the Kansas City Art Institute.  Above, Loula Longs favorite carriage...  items were displayed in the main house, the Storytarium and the Carriage House.

Helping kick off the Exhibit were, left to right, Mark McHenry, Director of KCMO Parks and Recreation, Anna Marie Tutera, Director of the Kansas City Museum, and Paige Beltowski and Max Adrian, curators of the Exhibit.

The Princess Will See You Now

 The Princess' official Fairy Escort greets the children and then sends them to the ante-chamber, below, where they wait for their audience.

 Above and below, the waving of the wand and the saying of the magic word opens the box for the children to retrieve a gift bag...

 Afterwards, while waiting for your official princess pictures, you can make special things for Christmas.

 Stop on your way out to watch the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, or, below to visit the Castle Gift Shop.... or just do both.... and don't forget your cookie !!!!
