Before and during any pageant, preparation is a large part of the time consumed, in exchange for a few brief moments on stage, Tgirls spend endless moments preparing themselves and, let moi not mince words, primping.
Since moi had unfettered access behind the scenes to document this activity, moi established some ground rules, since Tgirls have to change and oftentimes foreswear such awkward things as bras. So moi made a point of adhering to the dictum of Don Lockwood in Singin' in the Rain - "Dignity, always dignity!" Hence the modesty displayed by the statue on the right.
Moi will sample for you the preparations, from before the pageant, all the way through the costume changes.
After the rehearsals, some girls, like Tuesday (left) and moi remained at the venue; others, like the two THG's (right) just hung around to primp
Others, like Leslie (left) departed to collect their "stuff", while Empress Jennifer left to pick up the food for the VIP's.
One girl returned fully prepped for the pageant, and while this led her to some aimless wandering, her prepartion served her well in POSING with Asia and Kendy and holding her own very well
While still getting ready, Tuesday paused to POSE with a thing that, well, held other - umm- things in close confinement for the swimsuit contest.
A few last minute adjustments and it was time for....
POSING for headshots!
Angel, Kacey, Jenny, Ummie, Tuesday, Ummie
Later the same evening...
Megaprimping
Oops! Dignity, always dignity!
And there's always time for one more POSE
However, time for the girls to assemble on stage and assume their positions for the opening number. Moi hopes that it can serve as an appropriate end to this little page
