#mayfair2019

Realized by reposting @drinkthehalo the thread got too long. So I am doing a separate post here. (https://drinkthehalo.tumblr.com/post/185010879890/may-fair-2019 for the recap of the rest of the party.)

The 2nd ballroom performance was a part 3 of the Paisley Players. It was then followed by a cover of Donna Summer’s I Feel Love, which was a very dreamy performance.

Here are some clips I took:

The Emcees (Mallory Gracenin, Ginger Kerns and William Popp)

Paisley Players (Troy Ogilvie, Alex Jenkins, Paul Zivkovich and Austin Goodwin)

I Feel Love (Singer: Zuri Washington, Ensemble: Ryan VanCompernolle, Audrey Rachelle, Umi Akiyoshi, Jenna Saccurato, Matthew Perez and Jack Blackmon)

Additionally, a shoutout to all the performers who were in the party (from what I can recognize/recall)

1. Ballroom numbers: Singer: Zuri Washington, Ensemble: Ryan VanCompernolle, Audrey Rachelle, Umi Akiyoshi, Jenna Saccurato, Matthew Perez and Jack Blackmon

2. Ballroom gogo dancers: Evan Fisk, Emily Oldak, Ernesto Breton, Kacie Boblitt, Kayla Farrish and Amadi Washington

3. Lobby gogo dancer: Kenna Tuski

5. Replica bar band: Kate Douglas (sorry Idk the name of the band)

Just a friendly reminder that tipping is still greatly appreciated (and culturally expected if you are unfamiliar with American bar protocol) at Mayfair! Bartenders and other support staff depend on tips as part of their regular salary, and a party is no different. These people are working really hard to make sure that we have a great time.  Let’s show them a little appreciation! 

So make sure to tuck some cash away in your costume and tip the bartenders! 

In this year’s Mayfair, Paisley Players were performing a play loosely based on the Greek myths of Hades and Persephone.

Hades, the God of the Underworld, was played by Paul Zivkovich; Persephone, Hades’ wife, queen of the underworld, daughter of Zeus and Demeter, was played by Alex Jenkins; Demeter, the goddess of the grain, agriculture, harvest, growth, and nourishment, was played by Troy Ogilvie; and Hecate, goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts, and necromancy, was played by Austin Goodwin.

Well…just like costumes, we will see people who go for very simple and classic and people who go for all out and over-the-top.  I tend to lean a bit more toward the latter.  I’m not sure how you are defining “full out,” but here are two looks I’ve done.  One is from Halloween a few years ago and the other is from New Year’s Eve.  I haven’t designed my Mayfair makeup yet…but I’ll be doing something a little extra, I’m sure.
