Saturday morning it was a Mad for Plaid fashion show contest in the Crowne Plaza Ballroom; even RuPaul would have been proud as the contestants “worked it” down the “runway.” Naturally, the centerpiece was titled “Mad for Plaid.” A few shots of the beautiful dressed dolls that were on display at the tables, beginning with Wayne Nilson's incredible creation. I WANT THIS!! And so did everyone else!
Lynne Day brought this beauty:

And then it was time for the contestants to line up. There were two categories: best dressed in plaid, and best dressed doll in plaid.
Florie was the first on the runway:
All wanted to know what was under Wayne's kilt:
Sue Connor was the most MAD of them all, sporting approximately 69 different plaids!!
Work it, Jinky!!
Helen looked sharp in her green plaid with matching doll outfits made by....HELEN HERSELF! I think we have a future fashion designer on our hands!
All the contestants waiting somewhat patiently for the results:
The group of winners and runners up. Why does perky Helen look so down? She mistakenly thought she came in 4th place. Smiles returned once Michael explained that she was in fact 1st runner up in her category!
Sandra revealed our table gift outfit, titled Staccato:

Michael himself created this beautiful Art Deco photo backdrop of a fireplace screen on display at the Cleveland Art Museum. Fantastic job, Michael!
