Every year, the Dogwood Monarchist
Society crowns a new Emperor and Empress of
Vancouver. Last Saturday, at the Coast Plaza Hotel,
it was time for the 34th Annual Coronation Ball. Part pomp,
part pompadour, royal guests gathered to say goodbye to outgoing
monarchs Dj Jules and Estie Louder and to welcome Vivien
Von Brokenhymen and Buster Cherry to the throne.
