Royal Families

Meet Mobile Area Mardi Gras Association’s Queen Richlyn Pugh and her mother, Mrs. Frances Johnson. As the daughter of Mr. Richard Pugh, and Mr. Raymond and Mrs. Frances Johnson, Queen Richlyn is proud to be the first in her family to reign. Family oriented, Queen Richlyn closely collaborated with her incredibly talented aunt, Rasa Lee Douglas of J. Rich Customs, on a customized gown made entirely from past Mardi Gras articles that hold special meaning to her and her family. Quite the work of art, and contribution to Queen Richlyn’s reign, we salute this Air Force Queen and her fashion-forward team!
