Erika's Annex Page 263 - Queen of the Universe 2004 - Preparations
Whether by accident or
design, moi was
vouchsafed a special
opportunity at the Queen of
the Universe Pageant - to
slip behind the scenes of
the pageant and sample
the preparations for the
show. Moi, being bold and
brassy enough to recognize
a good photo opportunity
when moi saw it, was on it
like a flash (and with a
flash).
Camera at the ready
Behind the Scenes
Different girls
prepare in different
ways.
Behold Melissa
making sure that her
head dress was all
correct
Some girls sought sanctuary in the restroom, while others sought it just outside
Some girls almost needed the assistance of full time gardeners
..while others really needed
no assistance at all
Others displayed their "assets", and let them have some air
Some girls' costumes were so elaborate that they required a team of helpers (Asia had Liz)
Standing up with
Liz's assistance
Making the final
adjustments while seated
Sitting on the cart that the
costume came on
The moment of truth -
testing that the wings
extend properly
Moi's friends Kacey and Malena are all fired up and ready to go
The time is upon us for the pageant to begin
Mistress of
Ceremonies Charlene
makes her final check
...The girls are lined
up and ready. So
what is missing?
Of course!! the butt
shot. Now go take
your places and get
comfy at the
