About me:
www.sweetteaqueens.com
The Sweet Tea Queens are a group of women
based in Spartanburg, South Carolina, dedicated to the pursuit of fun. The Boss
Sweet Tea Queen, Carolyn, leads a group of about ten area women. They
all wear matching costumes and accessories, consisting of a green sequin “beauty
queen” dress, tiara, boots, sunglasses and accessories. The queens come from all
walks of life; a number of them are notable business and organizational leaders.
The Sweet Tea Queens--the "Belles gone bad!"The Sweet Tea Queens are a chapter
of the Sweet Potato Queens, which is based in Jackson, Mississippi. Each
chapter assumes its own theme and designs its own costumes. Some of the chapters
participate in parades and fundraisers in their local communities. The Sweet
Potato Queens concept has been explained and made popular by a series of books
by Jill Conner Browne of Jackson, who came up with the idea in 1982. It involves
a belief in a sisterhood that promotes self esteem and positive thinking,
appealing to mostly middle-aged middle-class women. In 2005, almost ten thousand
women dressed up in costumes and came to Jackson for their St. Patrick’s Day
parade, proceeds from which benefited a children’s hospital in the area.
The Sweet Tea Queens are a very active chapter that has repeatedly appeared at
festivals and events to raise funds for worthy local charities. The Sweet Tea Queens have their own professional float to ferry them
through local parades, featuring the queens dancing to music that emanates from
an on-board sound system. When they appear on behalf of charity organizations at
fundraising events, they often staff a booth or run a contest. In addition, the
queens often make appearances at area malls. Among the parades on the queens’
regular schedule are the Cowpens, South Carolina Mighty Moo parade, the Gaffney,
South Carolina Peach Festival, Hendersonville, North Carolina’s King Apple
parade, and a number of upstate South Carolina Christmas parades.
In addition to the group of queens, several of the STQ's husbands and boyfriends
are associated with the chapter by attending meetings and assisting with other
chapter functions.
Having been compared to other groups like the Red Hat Society and the YaYa
Sisterhood, the Sweet Tea Queens see themselves as “belles gone bad." In their
“regular lives," they are teachers, nurses and business leaders. But when they
put on the green sequins, these mothers and wives become disco-dancing
“showgirls” for a few hours and have more fun than many do in a lifetime.
They have appeared in feature articles in the Spartanburg Herald Journal, South
Carolina Magazine, Travel and Leisure, Belle magazine and others. They have also
been guests on WSPA-FM's morning show a number of times. They were recently
featured on Charter Cable's Talk Of The Town show.
