Catch Royalty this weekend at Gem CIty Grill & with Esotouric
I have a nice full weekend and I'd love to share it with you. Well, not tonight because I'm meeting with Miss Louise of my Official Entourage to work on decorations for the parade... but you can see me Saturday and Sunday. I'll be happy to chat with you and even give you my autograph and some advise if you wish at either of these two must-do events:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prince Andrew's Birthstravaganza & Pre-Doo Dah PartyA special edition of our most popular Crime Bus tour exclusively for friends of Pasadena's venerable Vroman's Bookstore (with reservations available directly from the store), The Real Black Dahlia spans the city from downtown to South Central, visiting the actual scenes of Elizabeth Short's final day in LA, and those places that have become attached to her in the ever growing mythology of the Black Dahlia murder. The real woman behind the murder mystery is revealed, along with suspects, reporters and investigators who were drawn into her orbit. Passengers will also be introduced to a little known and quite convincing suspect with ties to the body dump scene near 39th and Norton.
Since January 1947, this iconic mutilation murder has lingered unsolved at the forefront of the American imagination, with dozens of books, films, TV shows and websites dedicated to solving the slaying of the ambitious young woman from Medford, Mass. who came to Hollywood hoping to make it, and ended up cut in two in a vacant lot. Suspects have included famous men like Norman Chandler and Orson Welles, crazed lesbians, twisted drifters and more than one writer's father, but still the mystery abides.
On the Real Black Dahlia Crime Bus, Kim Cooper and Richard Schave give a guided tour to scenes from the real and imaginary history of the Black Dahlia case. Along the way, passengers will explore the social history of postwar Los Angeles, several popular Dahlia theories will be debunked and a little known but likely suspect will be introduced. The tour will introduce passengers to the real Elizabeth Short and some of the peculiar characters who knew her in life or become obsessed with her in death.
There will be a snack stop at Krispy Kreme Donuts. To make your reservations contact Vromans Bookstore directly: 626-449-5320. Also visit www.esotouric.com

As we part for the weekend, I will leave you with these thoughts:
Will Queen Mickie design the perfect gown?
Will Queen Mickie sew herself to her dress?
Will her creation meet the approval of her Cuddly Courtiers Zedd and Kujo?
Will the Seamstress Gnomes steal her outfit during the night only to replace it with another tasteless and tacky fashion disaster?
Tune in next week to find out- same Doo Dah channel, same Doo Dah time, same Doo Dah fun!!
have a happy weekend!
Thank you. May you - and all my subjects - have wonderful Southern California sunny-in-winter weekend!!
Cheers,
Queen Mickie
