So, finally we get to the entertainment portion of tonight's fundraising extravaganza, and what an event it was, with everyone giving of their all in the cause of making Vi an Empress. Karina, herself a former Empress, set the scene and kicked off the proceedings, which were MC'd by Vi her own self

Vi began the evening with a soulful ballad and was soon having cash money pressed upon her

Asia, cute as a button in thigh high boots followed on with a live performance

Celia took the stage with the first of her two steamy numbers. About this time, Tintin thought it might be a good idea to remember what songs were being performed.

Next came Nikki, and for some reason, Tintin was too distracted to check the song name - some kind of hip hop thingie he recalls

Maya provided a pleasant interlude playing a flautal embellishment of Destiny's Child's cover of the Bee Gee's original "Emotion" - Wheew! and all without taking a breath

Soon Tuesday was raising the roof with "What Kind of Fool am I", although this was clearly not self referential

And Malena covered Whitney Houston's "I will Always Love You"

The performers assembled to accept applause and to assess how successful their fundraising had been (see below)

Hmm. Seems to have done the trick. Better head back now to the Photopage list, don't you think?
