Limo tour payment:

For those signed up for the Thursday evening Limo Tour, you must see
either Aiko or Yvonne at any of the Tuesday or Wednesday activities,
make payment, and receive your limo pass.

At least one of them will be at every Tuesday and Wednesday activity
and they will be wearing name tags.

Those who will not be arriving until Thursday and are signed up,
or plan to sign up for the Limo Tour should write to:

aikolady@yahoo.com

... and make arrangements to pay.

Those on the waiting list may pay and purchase their Limo Tour pass,
which will be refunded if space is not available.

The Limo Tour will depart the MGM Grand shortly after the LaFemme show
lets out. LaFemme, which begins at 8:30pm, is expected to end around
10:00pm. Those not attending LaFemme should plan to be at the MGM Grand
no later than 10:00pm to join the Limo Tour.

Please note that the deadline for cancellation and for payment for the
Limo Tour is Wednesday, May 1.

Also a reminder that checking the Limo Tour box on the activity sign-up
form is a reservation, space will be held for you, and it is a
commitment to show up and to pay. If you sign up and later change your
mind, please re-submit the activity sign-up form.

Activity questions:

>Thank you for all the good information about DLV.

You're very welcome. :)

>I'm planning on being there but won't arrive until late Wednesday

That's perfectly fine, just meet us at the first activity that suits
your schedule.

>I do have a couple of questions about the sign-up sheet. There are
>events that are not on the sheet such as dinner on Wednesday, Boardwalk
>reception on Thursday, Friday night mixer and Sunday buffet. I pick
>these as I would like to attend. Do we just get together and do it?
>That is fine with me but I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.
>After all my first day is blonde day I will be a bit confused! LOL!

The sign-up page has only the activities where we need a headcount or
something special. All of the rest are no sign up, just show up.

>Looking forward to meeting you on the 1st.

And we're looking forward to having you. :)

Metamorphosis update:

Leah sends in the following regarding the Metamorphosis Fantasy Ball,
which will happen the Saturday of DLV. It looks like we will not know
the location until Thursday May 2, so this will not appear on our
maps or in the driving directions. We will pass the word at all DLV
activities as soon as the location is known.

You may see or hear announcements elsewhere that you must purchase
tickets at one of the local lingerie shops. We have made special
arrangements. Mention Diva Las Vegas at the door for the rate we have
negotiated.

(Slightly edited)

+Las Vegas - OK boys and girls, it's time to dust off your leather and
+polish your rubber, Las Vegas most tantalizing, intriguing, secretive
+night out has arrived.

+On Saturday night, May 4th, and the first Saturday of every month
+thereafter, METAMORPHOSIS will unleash the erotic energy which until
+now has been all but stifled in the Las Vegas valley.

+METAMORPHOSIS will be the ultimate in high fashion exhibitionism and
+naughty entertainment. Providing the musical atmosphere for dance and
+display will be none other than DJ Dik Silver of London's infamous
+Torture Garden (the original high profile fetish dance club). Helping
+to set the mood for the evening will be Mistress Diana Knight, Master
+Johnny, Mistress Mina, and a slew of their mischievous accomplices.

+Location will be announced the Thursday prior to the event and the
+following policy will be in effect for the evening; Advance ticket
+holders will be admitted exclusively between 10:00 and 11:30pm. After
+11:30, individuals who were not able to get tickets will be admitted
+until the club is full. If you have tickets but arrive after 11:30,
+your party will be given priority over customers who do not have
+tickets.

+Please arrive by 11:00pm to ensure entry.

+Dress Code: High fashion fetish, fantasy, glam, leather & lace,
+lingerie, high class gothic, sci-fi erotic, drag, rubber, vinyl, or
+black tie (tux and evening gown). Absolutely no street clothes, gang
+wear, biker wear, anything grungy or junky, or worst of all, any kind
+of yuppie wear.

+Believe us when we say, if you're not dressed in the requested manner
+you will not be admitted, so please don't waste your money or your
+time.

+NO CAMERAS.... NO NUDITY.... NO SEXUAL CONTACT Violators will be
+immediately ejected and barred from future events.

+The world premier {sic} of METAMORPHOSIS will be off the hook. We'll
+see you all on May 4th...
