Congratulations are in order! The Royal Image Boutique recently celebrated it's Grand Re-Opening. The Ribbon Cutting and Fashion Show celebrating the boutique's new and beautiful Wheat Ridge showroom took place on December 2nd. Guests were invited to celebrate the opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, fashion show, followed by refreshments and appetizers. I had the honor of being one of the fashion show models. The hard part about this particular fashion show was determining which of the HUNDREDS of gowns I would be modeling.

The Mrs. Colorado pageant is blessed to have the Royal Image Boutique sponsor the reigning titleholder. The Royal Image makes it possible for me to keep the "royal" look for many of my appearances and stage presentations. I have been working with Raeanne for several years as a client of hers and now, as her Queen Sister, I could not be more proud of this step she is taking with her business. The Royal Image is the premiere formal wear boutique in Colorado. With the Christmas and New Year's celebrations upon us, shopping at the Royal Image Boutique is a must! The new showroom is located at 6073 W. 44th Avenue Ste 200, Wheat Ridge, CO 80033. Contact the store for showroom hours, 303-466-9216.
