And of course there were those parties....
And yes, we love dressing up!
Sahara readily confessed to a seriously overdeveloped "dress up" gene - and it's something she shares with many convention attendees. Costumes of wondrous imagination rule the parties - from the Ellora's Cave Fantasy Party, through the Faery Ball - and every night we're together. Here's a look at some of the colorful fun...
|
 Scott and Sahara channel the "Golden Age of Hollywood" in the magnificently opulent setting provided by Ellora's Cave for their fabulous kick-off party.
|
|
 Er...well, you know the Partners in Passion. They don't always take things too seriously....
|
|
 It's Tawny Taylor, dazzling the crowd by channeling Audrey Hepburn to perfection. Breakfast at Tiffany's, anyone?
|
|
 Sadly, those shoes are killers after a couple of hours. Sahara's holding hers while chatting with Nicole Austin, a goddess in red easily mistaken for Jessica Rabbit. Wow!!!
|
|
 Between parties, we connected with old and new friends. Here's Claudia (a friend for years and staunch NASCAR fan - you rock, girl!) chatting with the delightful Judy Mays.
|
|
 And one of MANY gatherings in the lobby bar. Good times, folks. Great memories too.
|
|
 The Faery Ball invited guests to dive under the waves for a great "Beneath the Sea" night of fun. The decorations were spectacular and that's Sahara in white standing behind her seat on stage with her sister Fae.

|
 My goodness. Who's that handsome knight? It's our own Sir Scott.
|
|
 One of Sahara's favorite photos. Hussy Ciana Stone captured some magic - it's a perfect memory of a superb evening.
|
|
 Was ever a knight so gallant? Or a lady so charmed?
|
|
 Sahara will admit to being quite terribly fond of swanning around hotels in costume. It's a character flaw, without a doubt. See this photo.
|
|
 If you're wondering, those are contact lenses. Although Sahara was heard humming a few bars of "Don't he make my brown eyes blue..."
|
|
 We love seeing our friends once more, and regret we only get to do this once a year. But they're all precious...here's Robin, a lovely lady, a great hugger and with a laugh that lights up the room.
|
|
 Speaking of warm and wonderful laughter...there's always plenty of that when Scott's around.
|
|
 Tawny's Fae costume was magnificent and turned heads throughout the evening! Not many folks can look so awesome with a starfish on their heads, but Tawny manages it with grace and style.
|
|
 Sahara's always ecstatic to see friends again - here's Pam Clifton. Sahara and Pam have been buddies for nearly ten years now.
