The first annual Gods and Goddesses Party, sponsored by Venus Jones and Studio 620, was held on Saturday, October 28th in St. Petersburg, Florida, at The Studio@620. Fitting with the Gods and Goddesses theme, guests were invited to wear togas. The event was a celebration for those looking for Halloween alternatives, as well as a celebration of the release of Venus Jones' new book, "She Rose."
The multi-talented, award-winning actress, poet, speaker and host, Venus Jones performed poems from her new book "She Rose, on journey from girl to Goddess." The evening began with the song "This little light of mine" in a fog-filled room and inspirational poetry followed as Patricia Dominowski played a harmonious harp. The phrase of the night was "Always Divine!"
Kathy Perry, founder of www. PeakPerformanceWomen. com, said, "I was delighted to be a part of this first annual Gods and Goddesses Party. But more than that, I was very moved by the inspiring performance by Venus as she shared poems from her new book, "She Rose", with us -- she doesn't just read poetry, her poetry comes alive when she performs!"
Guests sipped on wine and walked on petals while wearing togas and modern day fashions. They listened to new age music, toasted to life and progress. In addition, the guests were able to enjoy the Roby MacDougall art exhibit that was on display at The Studio@620. Prizes were awarded to the best toga costumes. And as a token of gratitude for their support of the launch of her new book, "She Rose," Venus Jones gave all of the guests a parting gift of inspirational stones and candles.
