Erika's Annex Page 462 - Back to the Bay

There is something that continues to draw moi back to San Francisco, Bagdhad by the Bay, the Barbary Coast, call it what you will. Moi believes that moi should never ignore its siren song, so when moi heard that Model Search 2006 was taking place, moi's first impulse was to jump in the auto and motor up there. Well, actually, moi's SECOND impulse was to do that, but moi's FIRST impulse, flying, proved too expensive for moi's taste, due to the last miute nature of moi's decision. Anyway, moi drove, and moi was blessed with good company on the trip.

Moi's bestest going out friend, Moni, accepted the challenge and proved invaluable as camera girl, technical support for massage therapy and navigator in chief.

Moni reports for duty

So, after an exhausting seventy-two hour drive, fighting hurricanes, floods and marauding native Americans on the way (moi tends sometimes to exaggerate for effect), Moni and moi checked into the Hyatt (if you are gonna travel, travel well), rested up, then prepared for our adventure

Moi was briefly tempted by a plethora of in-hotel entertainment options, but Moni talked moi out of them. Mazel Tov, Julie! Good luck, Michael & Susan, Luke &Christine, but moi must go!

And so, we leave on our further adventures, ending this chapter of the story with an inevitable butt shot (Moni's gonna get moi for that, moi is sure)

Once outside, however, moi got to thinking about the title of this page (see above) and Moni and moi were moved to attempt to create it for you in visual form

So here we are - wait for it - each with our BACK to the BAY (clever, huh?)

Then, just because we could, we present BUTT to the BAY

Well, that's all well and good but moi insists that we head off now, for an evening of beauty and pageant

En route to the pageant, let moi show you that moi got THIS close to moi's favorite restaurant/cabaret, but forebore to actually visit it.

[Insert here the subsequent pages reflecting the Model Search 2006 pageant] FLASH FORWARD SEVERAL HOURS!!

2 A.M.- Tired and weary, and in no mood for further photographs, Moni and moi return to the hotel

Moni knows, however, that without an appropriate picture, many of you might have difficulty in finding your way back to the Photopage List. Note, however, that while MOI may be draggin', moi's BUTT is CERTAINLY NOT.
