Rhododendron Princess

Waiting on stage with the Official Party to be introduced to the crowd at the opening night of the Art Show.
This is her first appearance since being 'crowned' last week:

She has still to turn up, wear the outfit, be charming and (most important of all) sell raffle tickets at a plethora of events over the next month or so.
It's a tough gig, what with having the crown to keep on and all, but she's a nice girl and really quite remarkably tolerant of people forever shoving cameras in her face.

I took quite a few shots tonight and I'm not sure if I picked the right one to blip. This is my short list, what do you think?
