Erika's Annex Page 619 - The Court POSES and Ennobles

As you may have noted, so far moi has shown nothing specific about the Investiture. An oversight, you inquire? Indeed not, moi would reply if moi had a voice synthesizer attached to this web page. No, moi would have further explicated, moi was just building up tension and suspense, the better to dazzle you when moi got around to it. Such is moi's devious mind at work. .

But first, moi realized that moi had shirked on the POSING which, as you will readily admit is an integral part of moi's chronicle. Henceforth, therefore, moi will seek to remedy the deficits in the POSING department. .

..and Darlene REALLY P-O-S-E-D. .

Carmen POSED. .

Janet POSED. .

All right, that was just a tad more POSING, but now moi promises. .

OK - that is not POSING, except to introduce the evening's Empress, moi friend and liege Vi, Empress XXXVIII. .

As the evening progressed, Vi graciously mingled with the lower orders, while changing her gown in the process. .

"I dub thee once, I dub thee twice, I dub thee three times. Arise Princess/Grand Duchess /Imperial Crown Princess (delete as appropriate) and let me stick this tiara thingie on your noggin" - moi paraphrased the last bit, of course, just a tad. .

And after all that ennobling, it was time to change into mufti and head back out into the real world. For which moi does not feel the need to provide a butt shot. So begone to the Photopage List. .
