Moi's role as Imperial Crown Princess Royale was thrown into sharp relief when our Empress Frandy was involved in an automobile accident and hence unable to attend the coronation at Long Beach.  Would moi be asked to step in as her replacement?  Did moi have the cojones to do so? (Well, of course, the answer to both parts of the previous question was affirmative).  As it turned out, moi's services were not needed but, as you can see from the picture to the left, moi stood ready to do moi's duty, primed, primped and prepared.

Before the coronation started, there was much mingling and schmoozing, but we all know what everyone was waiting for, don't we?  Two things:

#1 - Food, of course

#2.  Well, you all know that after all the dressing up there would be just a tidal wave of people wanting to - POSE!!

Karina, head swivelling quickly, notices the food and is immediately at the station, picking up sustenance

GROUP POSE!!!

Getting with the Program, Something Fishy and Clash of the Titans

After a while, the evening was given over to Ceremony (which moi has showed you before and so won't this time) and Performance (which moi has also showed you before but which it doesn't hurt to show again)

Empress LaLa from San Diego - close, closer, closest

Empress Umm, also from San Diego

So how did our court do without our Empress?

Well, Empress Coco, Regent Emperor Roscoe and Empress Karina were up to POSING for moi

And moi was up for POSING with newly enobled Regent Emperor Roscoe

And it is none of your beeswax what moi was up to in this picture

Finally, a bevy of queens in the Queen City....
