Men of Steel, Women of Wonder
The San Antonio Museum of Art hosted the Super Art Museum Ball at the St. Anthony Hotel to celebrate the Men of Steel, Women of Wonder exhibit. Although black-tie was the attire, the theme was Let Your Hero Be Your Inspiration, where you dressed as your favorite superhero from stage, screen, literature, or life.) What an eclectic mix of superheroes! Guests were having fun with the theme and posing for pics at the many different areas decorated with live superheroes and statues. 
Wilkinson Rhodes-Billinda Wilkinson created backdrops of superheroes, added cool lighting and statues, red roses galore and a TV Batmobile which not only entertained the crowd but tourists downtown who stopped to pose and take selfies. Billinda is the go-to-girl when it comes to over the top, and I mean this in a good way! It’s always exciting to see what she puts together and it makes for one heck of a good party!
