Silver Millennium Masquerade Ball 2017
March 11, 2017
On March 11th, the Hall of Springs in Saratoga Springs housed the Silver Millennium Masquerade Ball, a six hour event including cocktails, live music, ballroom dancing, a full course dinner, raffles, a DJ dance party, and the most epic sing-along ever. It didn't lend well to my usual "con report", but I did want to share the pictures I took of the lovely denizens of the Moon Kingdom. |

All of the tables had planetary names. |

Rather blurry, but the first dance was won by Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion cosplayers walzing to Love Happens Again. |
Thank *God* for us Shannon had ballroom dancing experience! |
|
|
|
She could both lead and follow! |
Even the foxtrot! |
This looked like SO MUCH FUN. Foxtrots are fast and bouncy. |
|
|
Everyone's gowns were amazing. |
Revolving round and round. |
|

|
Best friends! |
I asked this beautiful Venus to dance. |
The decor was really out of this world. |
|
|
|
I met this couple in my hotel right before leaving for the ball, and then it turned out that we were at the same table! |
This group was so much fun--they all had matching dresses in their senshi colors. |
I'm so sad this came out blurry--the rhinestones on this dress were so shimmery and beautiful. |
|
|
|
This Luna cosplayer was amusing herself by batting at the crystals that dangled from the centerpieces. I thought that was too perfect. |
Me with my gorgeous dance instructor! |
I really can't express how much joy people felt. |
|
|
|
A Princess Lethe! No one even cosplays Sailor Lethe, I never would've thought someone would choose her for the ball! (And the adorable Usagi who was at our table.) |
Of course there has to be a few derpy shots of me (mainly to show off the gorgeous gown Setsuna Kou made me.) |
A beautiful shot of husband and wife dancing. |
|
|
I managed to find literally the only single man at this event, and danced with him SO much. |
Once the ballroom dancing was over, the DJ started up a dance party! |
|
Waiting and hoping on raffle tickets! |
