Thank you to all our guests for making our Fifth Year the best yet! There was quantities of gorgeous food (oh, the heavenly macaroons from 2 Tarts Bakery), endless champagne, and clashing swords. The Dueling and Sabrage (opening champagne with a saber) competitions continued most of the afternoon, interspersed with the costume contest & Commitee for Public Safety announcements. Congratulations to our contest winners, Sir Michael & Lady Deveraux...was it Sir M's new suit or his fancy footwork? Either way, the handsome couple waltzed their way into our hearts and away with a lovely bottle of wine. Salut!
As Mme Guillotine was on holiday in Nova Scotia, The Committee for Public Safety decided to have a "Lottery" for the entertainment of all involved. Each guest drew a name (aristocrat, revolutionary leader, artists or regular citizens) and was called before the CFPS court to answer for their crimes against the people of France. There was some hilarious confusion when one gentleman discovered he had drawn Lucille Duplessis, the wife of Camille Desmoulins. A good sport, he came before the court to beg for mercy on behalf of his "husband". Our intrepid Judge played no favourites, sentencing Charlotte Corday (Lady Sully) to wearing pink spandex and Mme du Barry (Le Chevalier) to drinking boxed wine. Quel Horreur!
