The 26th annual Crystal Awards at the Hyatt in downtown Houston proved memorable in a rather unusual fashion.
The operative word here is “fashion.”

| 2012 AMA Houston Crystals Award Show Host: Mrs. Richfield |
Crystal Awards co-chair Jared Houser, who emceed Friday's event, got the festivities moving along in a timely manner, but Mrs. Richfield stole the show.
Houser introduced the cross-dressing Mrs. Richfield as part of the entertainment for the Crystal Awards, and Mrs. Richfield was engaging, with biting humor and a booming singing voice.
Between Mrs. Richfield's routines and costume changes, Crystal Awards were handed out. Axiom and Cameron won Best in Category for Interactive/Multimedia Marketing Presentation with "Discover Cameron Interactive Multimedia." Axiom also earned Crystal honors with Excalibur for Best Trade Show Booth (above 400 square feet) for Cameron's 2011 OTC booth.

Axiom also received Citations of Excellence for 18 other entries during AMA Houston's ceremony.
The flamboyant Mrs. Richfield might have walked away with an award from the ceremony, though no one is certain whether a submission was received before deadline.
