Welcome to the Imperial Court's little luau, its Hawaiian hula, its tropical treat, its - wait for it - Poi Party. Tintin did the honors this evening - moi is too taken up with matters involving gulfs, Mexicos and people with British accents (Hi, Tony!), The event was held at the appropriately named Palms Bar in WeHo. Attire was casual, with a tropical flair and Tintin got gussied up in a Hawaiian shirt. He was lei'd upon arrival. Oh moi knows that you always arrive lei'd to an Imperial Court function but....
...needless to say, everyone was sure things would start on time
...even with the duelling over the food and the last minute run to the ATM...
...and POSING was intermixed with last minute touch ups
...and yet more POSING...
Still, Tintin, who had been pressed into service on the spotlight, was at his post.....although using the spotlight at the moment more for support than illumination, like a drunk man and a lamppost
At last the show was underway, with Tintin providing just the best light to flatter the performers
Just about then, Tintin's camera battery died, so the rest of the pictures are courtesy of Empress Lonnie, who was also snapping and better prepared, battery-wise
Emperor Roscoe performed, channeling Ricky Martin
And there was an unadjudicated contest for Mr, Ms and Miss Luau
Well, much aloha-ing later, everyone went home with a breeze of the islands wafting through them, leaving moi only one task remaining - to leaf through Lonnie's photo album and pick out the one picture that will send you back to the Photopage List
