    Tartan Ball

    Last night was the Tartan Ball hosted by the Milwaukee Tripoli Shine.



    My date and I


    The building was gorgeous! Built in 1928, it is designed to look like a Persian palace. The entire interior is mosaic.


    Some good friends were there too.


    The entertainment!

    Looks like you picked the right outfit, I love the hose you wore as well, very nicely turned out.

    Your kit was well selected, piper! Wow, what a lovely lady, too. (BTW, the model for the Dewar's PM shown was a fellow by the name of Edgar MacIntyre)
