Let's Get This Party Started!

Dearest Lords and Ladies of Her Majesty's Realm, the time for elegant yet lively capering is nearly upon us once again! Her Majesty's Ball is but less than a week away, and your humble servant is once again filled with excitement over another chance to practice his dearest diversion.

Another, from Festa Cortese:



Such merriment is wonderful, especially after a hard day's night...
