Erika's Annex Page 334 - Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

Once more unto the Lodge, dear friends, once more. After moi's flying visit to Sandy last night, moi was searching for somewhere closer, and more likely to yield friends and acquaintances - ergo, The Lodge. And as is often the case, when the inside became too crowded, moi repaired to the "patio", aka the Lankershim Boulevard sidewalk, which may explain why so many pictures feature smoking, since indoor ingestion of tobacco substances is no longer permitted.

OK, right off the bat, let us take care of not one, but two, regular features in one photograph - a rare conjunction of the TWG with SOME DUDE, in a provocative and amusing juxtaposition (look it up)

Many valued friends were there

Rose and main squeeze (or possibly SOME OTHER DUDE)

Janelle and Bianca

TWG #2, Rhonda

Some of moi's friends brought other friends

There was the Las Vegas contingent, featuring (left to right in both pictures) Jeanie, Reena*, Francesca and Taylor * current friend shown in red

Gretchen brought her squeeze du jour

Mimi and Stephanie were sharing thoughts

Joy, Glenda and Camille were flying solo

After all that, moi was called upon to do a photo shoot for Maya (aka Magdalena this evening for reasons best known to herself ) and Nicole

Twosies

Tree shagging

Maya solo

And where was moi while all this was going on?

Oh, just hangin' around

And what of old friends who preferred to remain anonymous? Moi saw one of those too. Guess who?

And so to the mystery butt of the evening. Moi notes that it might be called MIA (Missing in Asstion). So ponder that conundrum as you return to the Photopage List
