The Gothic Pageant this time around:
Here, I will recap the night's events for all you who couldnt be there....

Erik and Jen are presented as the reigning Mr & Ms Gothic Seattle

(All photos taken by the lovely

intrepid_reason unless she's in em, of course... then someone else took em, such as

m_cobweb or

buffywillowgrrl or

dizzy88.. I was too busy prancing around yelling "off with their heads" or something....)

Weeks before the pageant, each contestant is asked to fill out a questionaire that the judges read as we all prepare to start the show. This is the first thing they will be scored on...

Meet our hostess,

bordelloofdolls and the very first Miss Gothic Seattle,

hereticsaint

First up is formal wear. The contestants come out on a display their evening wear, then are asked to pull a random goth-centric (hehehehehe) question from a basket that they are to answer for the judges and audience right then.

The crowd is then told that they are to vote on the people's choice award and are shown where to put their ballot when they have chosen their favorite contestant.

They call to bring out the first contestant,

generalchaos:

they call for the next contestant,

arcitennoir:

and they call for the next contestant,

the_forlorner

As they think on the answers, I get to dance with

intrepid_reason to Alice Cooper's MaryAnn. As you can see-- I am thoroughly enjoying this command performance.. even tho I am having a complete two-left-feet moment.

Next,

hereticsaint does a beautifully haunting performance.

shadowmite deems it storytime and she reads the history of the pageant...

the judges & hostess seem fascinated with the historical significance of this pageant...

But looks like my faithful photographer says its time for... Pretty-people-cam :)
