Erika's Annex Page 399 - Investiture - Prelude

Moi is proud to present to you the Investiture ceremony for the Imperial Courtof Los Angeles and Hollywood, with the festivities surrounding the enthronement of Empress XXXVI Vi, and her court, held at the Silverlake Lounge in (gasp! who'd ha thunk it?) Silverlake. OK it's not the high rent end of Sunset but the customers make the difference, huh?

Let moi introduce you to the royalty present

Empresses (Left to right) Linda (TWE* of the night), Karina, Charlene and Jennifer

*TWE = Token White Empress

And of course, the current reigning Empress, Vi (who in a twist of fate is Empress XXXVI, or maybe XXXVi)

Well, before the ceremonies begin, it was necessary to fortify moi's self for the coming excitement and to relaxicate with moi's friends. And, given that most of the girls were Filipina, that meant food and lots of it

Gretchen had already eaten, so instead she chose to mingle with her main squeeze

Most everybody else, however, was chowing down

Tuesday, umm and um, um again and Janet

and Janet again with Nicole. Malena, Charlene and Nicole (again) and Nicki

Editorial note: Moi really wonders where the calories go, because the girls maintain those svelte figures (OK, Charlene is an exception) in the face of conistently deep fried food

So after the food, it was time to get ready. And moi was present to capture the process

Last minute repairs to the props. Oh wait, who the heck cares about PROPS? Moi is merely seeking a comprehensive report. Yeah, whatever. Get on with it.
