And the Winners Are...

On Saturday, June 10th Calgarians celebrated another very successful Apple Blossom Festival. There were record-breaking crowds, with people traveling from as far as Edmonton to attend the festivities. Photos are still being compiled and censored, and will be posted in the near future. Until then, here is a list of this year's fabulous winners:

King of the Green: Ian
Gown of Unparalleled Hideousness: Kathy
Miss Slutiality: Katie
First Runner-Up: Tamara
Queen Anapolisa 2006: Jodi

Evening Gown Competition

The organizing committee has heard rumors that some of the princesses were a little uneasy with the evening gown portion of this year's pageant. Though we would be sorely disappointed to see anyone miss out on the chance to play dress-up when they're a grown-up, it is the choice of each individual princess whether or not to participate. This will not be a compulsory event.

If you are looking for a gown, I suggest Value Village, Salvation Army or What's In Store. Here is a link to a listing of consignment and thrift shops in Calgary.
