Erika's Annex Page 600 - Rain or Shine

Should moi venture out, moi mused. After all, the weather forecast predicted inclement weather. OTOH, moi hadn't been to visit the new club called SHINE. Now let moi explain, the club's name is spelled S-H-I-N-E, but it is pronounced O-X-W-O-O-D, as in Oxwood Inn, where it is located, so it isn't really a new club, just the old club given a fancy schmancy new name, for the purpose of attracting the tranny punters. Anyway, moi compromised somewhat by sending the ever faithful, and rain-retardant, Tintin in moi's stead, for a brief but fruitful foray into the realm of nether Burbank on this dark and stormy night. Now where has moi heard THAT phrase before? Oh yes, a minor variant on the title of the previous page - well, moi can't be brilliant and original all the time, can moi? .

Well, let moi summarize Tintin's reportage with a brief survey of the attendees. The usual inside scoops and corroborative detail which give piquancy to an otherwise bald and uninteresting narrative will be absent, but what the hey. .

Followed by three more of moi's bestest friends (left to right) Mika, Sabrina and Nicole. .

And a relatively new girl Kristen, or Kristine or Kirsten (or whatever - moi is never good with names), arrived with two friends in tow - the realtively new AJ and the extremely new Carla, both of whom professed shyness about picture taking. Aha! The game is afoot. Release the hounds! .

And so it was off to the outdoor patio, aka the Smokers' Lounge where, Tintin reasoned, he would have them cornered. And so, to some extent, he did. .

Admittedly not his best work, but he did manage to capture all three (Carla, AJ and Kirsten) in one photograph, and Jamie was a pleasant bonus in another. Well, as Scarlett O'Hara so famously remarked, "Tomorrow is another day". .

And that, dear viewers, is when Tintin, mindful of the inclement weather, decided to take his leave and captured a partng butt shot as a signal for your return to the Photopage List. .
