[Empress]

Welcome to the first Official Portrait Poll.

This poll is meant to showcase some of the more formal yet fun sides of the Royal Families, and to give us a chance to see portraits that we would not normally see in our monthly polls.

We hope that you enjoy looking at all of these wonderful portraits as much as we have enjoyed putting this poll together.

This month, our Picture of the Month representatives had help in selecting their images with a small committee of their choosing. Below, you can see each royal house's representative (in bold) followed by their chosen committee members.


Belgium: - Marengo, stephanievl, Johann

Britain: Avalon - milla Ca, TheTruth, Jo of Palatine

Brunei/Malaysia: Humera - Warren

Denmark: Dazzling, Jessrulz, GlitteringTiaras

Japan: Dragonsfire8, Vanesa

Jordan: Humera - Little_star - Salma

Luxembourg: suturegeisha - drimal

Monaco: Iceflower - Ianna, tbhrc

The pictures of this poll reflect the official royal events of December. The poll will be open for three weeks. It will close on February 16, 2008. During these three weeks, we ask that no one state whom they've voted for so as not to influence other members as they make their choices. For the final week of the month, you can discuss as much as you'd like about which image you voted for and why.

Please note that the links in the above poll have been posted in the order in which they were received and do not reflect the opinions of the moderating team.
