Weddings Galore

(Year 235, Summer) We have so many weddings these days, that Church of Similius had to restrict the frequency of wedding ceremonies in their five churches: Only one wedding per seasons Spring, Summer and Fall per church. This year all churches were booked for Summer, and several outdoor venues were used as well.

Meadows parish

Let's start with the Meadows parish, where some well known residents gave their woes.

Ms Valeria Phlum and Baron Rainert of Myshuno were married in Gloom Church.

The wedding getting the most attention this year, was Baron Rainert of Myshuno (33) finally getting married. The bride was Ms Valeria Phlum (32), also from San Myshuno. The two met at the private Mossy Lane dorm while getting their University degees. Valeria is already a doctor, just like her mother, and she is also known from Ice Skating where she won medals five times, winning gold 6 years ago as her best achievement.

Mazaloom Super Sim

(Year 234, Winter) This weekend the Mazaloom Super Sim was arranged in Oasis Springs. This is a bi-annual contest for Athletes, hosted by Mazaloom Weight Club. This time the club trophy, that it takes two following wins to obtain, switched hands!

Left to right: Paula (Mox) Adrian, Alice (Northdale) de Gould, and Mr John Phlum.

Seven Athletes reached the final rounds of the competition. Elite contestants have good skills in Fitness and Wellness, which is a requirement for participating at the Simlympics, but for the Super Sim contest the Wellness skill is not required. It still builds your score, though, so you would practically have no chance of winning without it.

Gossips #17

(Year 234, Summer) Hello again! I'm ready with the 17th issue of my gossips column! Upcoming social season must wait until next issue, because there is so much in the line-up. Are you ready, too? Let's go!

As usual, we'll start with the royals.

Khloe and Fritz fooled the Press?

(Year 231, Spring) It was reported that TV-face Khloe Adrian (26) and Simmerville Studio CEO, Fritz Mervil (39) got engaged during a trip to Snorthia. We also knew that a wedding was scheduled for this year, assumingly in Summer. But, last night the famous couple was observed dining at Captain Blue in Gloomville, and what was shining on Khloe's left hand if not a wedding ring! Did the couple fool us all?

Khloe Adrian, best known for hosting the popular Bagged Talent TV-show, looked to be very happy. She and Fritz Mervil ate lobster, and both seemed to be in a very good mood.

Popular TV Stars Engaged

(Year 230, Winter) We were kind of waiting for it to happen, as this popular couple known from TV was observed so many times during their private hours. Now their engagement has been confirmed, as fans spotted them in Mt. Komorebi!

Khloe Adrian (25) became a known face over night as she hosted the popular TV show «The Bagged Talent» last Winter. She lead us through the 6 episodes as if she hardly did anything else in her life, despite being a brand new face with no relevant experience. And the person who obviously head hunted her, is now her fiancé, Fritz Mervil (38), known for hosting «the Simmerville Show», but he is also the CEO and main share holder of Simmerville Studio.

Welcome «Moon Lisa»

(Year 230, Fall) This Fall a very rare exhibition opened at Casbah Gallery in San Myshuno. The famous and mythical painting «Moon Lisa» is currently touring Mazaloom kingdom, and this is her first stop. On opening night a high number of citizens flocked to the gallery to get a glimpse of the strictly guarded masterpiece that even made it to the national stamps of the Empire of Snorthia..

It is the first time Snorthia allows their national jewel to leave the empire, that alone is quite an event. No wonder people grabbed this once in a lifetime opportunity.

Gossips #7

(Year 230, Summer) Antoinette Morck is back with gossips half way into the Social Season!

- Want some more gossips? Summer is Social Season, especially for nobility that will gather at a higher frequenzy. There are no doubt more garden parties, weddings and gala banquetes this time of year. There are normally no stately receptions or representation, allowing for the code and tone to be a bit more impulsive and relaxed. Social Season avtually has its own series of Royal Acts where Monarchs over time did adjust the guidelines. Long ago Social Season lasted longer, these days it's officially four weeks long. It's expected that all noble households throw some event, but it won't need to be a full scale ball. Three guests for a tea party in your fine garden would do. Whenever rich people get together is also high season for charity. The expectations build according to your House's noble rank, and the season always closes by the grand ball at the Royal Palace.

Now Airing: The Bagged Talent - Part 1 of 6

The Bagged Talent has aired! There will be 6 shows all to air on Sundays (morning US time), and voting is possible for 72 hours (Sun-Mon-Tue). I will need the rest of the week to prepare for the next show.

So - grab the popcorn and check out the 8 contenders singing their hearts out in this 1st edition. Voting is open, and you can vote for up to 3 favorites (normally 2, but we need a flying start, right?). Vote by posting those character names in a video comment, or if you don't have a Youtube account, post in the "The Bagged Talent" thread on the official TS4 forum.

Each show lasts 8-12 minutes, obviously a bit shorter as the contenders get fewer.

Host: Khloe Adrian

Panel: Olivia Clump and Lord Leon de Cavalier

Produced by Simmerville Studio

Enjoy :)

Gossips #5

(Year 230, Spring) Her is another issue of gossips from Antoinette Morck!

- Today I'm happy to share tons of gossips with you! Let's (almost) ignore the royal family for now, and rather check rumors from other corners of Mazaloom! His Majesty the King is busy addressing equality, but the announced press conference has not yet taken place and my in-palace contacts keep silence. But don't worry, we've got so much to focus on elsewhere!

The Bagged Talent: Hostess announced!

 Today there was a quick press meeting at Simmerville Studio, regarding the announcement of who shall be hosting the upcoming TV-show "The Bagged Talent". And to everyone's surprise it was not any well known Actress or TV-personality, but the very unexperienced Khloe Adrian (25) from San Myshuno!

The Bagged Talent hostess Khloe Adrian (left) was introduced by CEO Fritz Mervil.

The brief session was held by Simmerville Studio's CEO and talk show celebrity, Fritz Mervil.

Adrian Triplets Celebrating YA Birthday!

(Year 230, Spring) There's no doubt the triplets Tamara, Khloe and Clara Adrian will make the single male population of Mazaloom line up, in fact - they probably already are quite popular! Last night they celebrated their young adult birthday at Planet Honey Pop! at Fashion District in San Myshuno.

Triplet's birthday party at Planet Honey Pop!

The 3 sisters had invited their friends to a hangout at the well known karaoke bar.

Jungle Adventure - Part 3 of 4 - The Tourists

In this miniseries for the blog, you get reports from 4 sims with a different agenda in Selvadorada. First out was the Archaeologist (Fred Clump) followed by the Tour Guide (Brenda Kammin), and the series ends with the Celebrities. Today you get the typical Tourists :)

The Adrian household counts 6 sims. Otto (64), Dina (59), son Flamenco (18) and the triplets Clara, Khloe and Tamara (13). This household lived in Oasis Springs for many years, but moved to Fashion District in San Myshuno some years ago. They are not very rich, and raising 4 kids doesn't come without hefty bills. Otto works in Culinary, and Dina makes Berry Jam and Tomato Sauce as a Canner. In Oasis Springs she was even involved with Politics, as a Hood Contact.

Well, now they decided to take a few days off, and ordered a family vacation in Selvadorada. Read Dina's report below:
