Who
are the Desoto County Sweet Potato Queens? |
|
|
We're
just a group of women from Desoto County, Mississippi who've
crowned ourselves in the name of TAMMY. We deserve a crown
as much as any beauty pageant winner only we aren't going
to lower ourselves to grovel in front of a bunch of judges
for it. We don our red wigs and crowns and dress up in padded
butts and boobs, green sequins, hot pink fringe and majorette
boots all in the name of our
adopted cause.
Each and
every one of us queens as well as the thousands of other queens
in the 3,000 plus chapters worldwide are named TAMMY and we
travel to Jackson, Mississippi (the birthplace of The Sweet
Potato Queens) every St. Patrick's day to participate in the
big St. Paddy's Day Parade. There, we party like mad and pay
our respects to the BOSS QUEEN, Jill Connor Browne, creator
of The Sweet Potato Queens worldwide organization and author. |

Love Our RiverKings |
The
Memphis RiverKings invited The Desoto County Sweet Potato Queens
to their game on Friday, December 19, 2003, where we worked a table
and played with the crowd.

Float in the Desoto County Christmas Parades |
The
Desoto County Sweet Potato Queens placed 2nd place in the Olive
Branch Christmas parade and 3rd in the Horn Lake Christmas parade.
DCSPQ also participated
in the Hernando Christmas parade this year. Unfortunately, we were
unable to participate in the Southaven Christmas Parade, but we
are honoring the City of Southaven with our 2004 "Rescue Me"
Calendar, so hopefully they will forgive us.
See photos of
our float in the parades here.

The
Desoto County Sweet Potato Queens will be putting out their 2004
calendar before the end of the year. This year's calendar theme
is: Rescue Me. As such this calendar is illustrated with photos
of our queens with our newest Spud Studs: The Southaven Firefighters
and Policemen...REOWR! All
proceeds from the calendar will go to our adopted cause: The Desoto
Sunrise Girls' Home. Orders will be taken soon on these calendars
but you can get a taste of what's inside here. |
