Erika's Annex Page 497 - The End of aVi-ra |
|
It hardly seems to moi that a year has passed since Vi became Empress of the Imperial Court of Los Angeles and Hollywood, but the calendar reminds moi that all good things must come to an end. Tonight was the Coronation of the new Empress. Who it might be was in the hands of fate and the electoral system. As far as moi could tell, there was only one candidate - Amanda, so who knows how the Electoral College vote will come out? Tricky things, them elections is, as Al Gore would no doubt remind us. |

Registration, the ballroom, various and sundry peops in fancy get-ups and a well patronized food bar - much as you would expect |

|
...Alexis Romanoff and Charlene |
|
Then, the beauty queen winners were presented |
|

|
....and all the way back. |
|
Moi will summarize the formal presentation of each of the various courts in attendance with this shot of imminent presentees waiting outside the ballroom for their entrance, the better to.... |
|
Focus on the entertainers!! |
|
...while Lilette effectively channeled the spirit of Imelda Marcos |
|
We pause now briefly only for the purposes of documenting SOME PERFORMING DUDE... |
|
...before finishing with Danielle Foxxx, who gave us a Dolly Parton like moi certainly had never seen before, and brought the house down |
