Melanie Derr's court, Miss Boating 1982, watch her being crowned by an unidentified man

1/27/82

Melanie Derr, Miss Boating 1982, stands on carpeted steps with her runners up while being crowned by an unidentified man wearing a gray sweater with a burgundy, gold and beige pattern knitted in and brown corduroy pants who stands behind Melanie on a step higher with his arms risen to adjust the tiara on Melanie's head. Melanie wears a tiara, earrings, a necklace of one gem, square-neckline swimsuit with raspberry, white, violet, white alternating stripes outlining the neckline and straps and then a raspberry bodice and open-toed shoes. Her contestant card (7), is attached to her swimsuit on her left hip. The runner up to Melanie's right wears a one-piece black swimsuit with spaghetti straps that meet in the middle of the bodice and form a "V" up to the shoulders, and pumps. Her contestant number card (9) is attached to her swimsuit on her left hip. The runner up to Melanie's left wears a black swimsuit with red piping on the right side of the v-neck and green piping over the right side of the bodice, earrings, a small one-gem necklace, and pumps. Her contestant number card (24) is attached to her swimsuit on her left hip. The three women hold a bouquet of pink carnations, baby's breath, greenery and a pink ribbon on their right arms and steadied with their left hands. All smile directly at the photographer. A Patricia Stevens agency banner hangs behind them on silver lamé drapes. The show was held at the Kansas City Trade Mart in the downtown airport, Kansas City, Missouri. This photograph was taken at the Patricia Stevens Studio.
