Erika's Annex Page 511 - The Duchess with the Muchest

Three pages so far and moi hasn't even got to the main event of the evening - oh moi! The main event, of course is the Investiture of the Court of Empress Amanda, which is why we are all gathered at a ballroom dance studio, next door to an Armenian social organization in darkest Glendale (and, no, Glendale is not a legendary surf guitarist - that would be Dick Dale, he wasn't there and moi doesn't even want to go there, girlfriend). But moi digresses once again, which may explain the time it has taken moi to get this far, or perhaps moi is just a bit of a tease. Moi takes no position on the issue, except to say "Oh, get ON with it!", so moi will.

So how does this investing business work, anyway,moi hears you inquire. Much as you might expect, moi replies. There is much pomp and ceremony, titles are bestowed, there is a laying on of the great big sword and then we all get titles, certificates and tiaras. 'Nuff said, now let's look.

First, everyone POSES - well why NOT, for gosh sakes?

Vi, Vi 'n' Tuesday, Tuesday

Jun 'n' Nikki, Nikki and Ummm

Then the ceremony. (Moi will use moi's self as a case study)

Then Missy, ummm and Carmen just have to POSE...

...as do Janet and Jenelle

Uh-oh, a late arrival wonders if she missed anything - well, DUH, just about everything

...but is just in time to see the Empress lead off the ballroom dancing

and soon everyone is up and dancing

Well, ALMOST everyone. Someone has to make pit stop and provide tonight's parting butt shot to signal a return to the Photopage List
