I can't believe I just became someone who uses a selfie stick. (Stephanie's friend Mayte had one.)

Tess, Gabriel's transgender daughter, is the biggest reason we were all there on Friday evening, and somehow we all managed to squish her almost out of sight in this picture! The girl on the left is one of her best friends, and I don't remember her name. That's Uber-Go-Team-Dad Gabriel in the background; his current wife Kornelija on the right and his ex-wife Stephanie to my right. To Stephanie's right is her friend Mayte, who whipped the selfie stick out of her purse when I said I wanted to get a shot of us all. She offered to take the photo but knowing she was part of the group I told her I wanted her in it. (Turns out Tess's friend's parents were also there so I guess there was a bigger group than I thought, and maybe that means I excluded some people here?) P.S. Mayte was also the name of the woman Prince was married to between 1996 and 2000. She was a belly dancer. I'm pretty sure this Mayte was none of those things.
