Launch of the GangSTAR Children’s Foundation / Fio and Ali’s Wedding!
We here at the Den of Gossip have been discussing how we may be able to give more back to the community that we love for well over a year. The GangSTAR Children’s Foundation came out of just these talks and we were thrilled to be able to launch it with a fantastic cocktail party in the Red Dragon Inn Friday night! It was, of course, all PINKED out! We named some great pink cocktails after Ehz’s nicknames for us — the Pinkoodle Fluff consisting of iced pink lemonade with a light rum in a hurricane glass and the Farfenpooter combining vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice black currant juice, and a dash of sour mix into a chilled martini glass. There were also waiters in well-tailored black suits complimented with pink ties making the rounds around the Inn with trays of hors d’oeuvres and a full spread of more filling foods laid out on the bar.
We were so thrilled to see some of our favorite people in attendance and, of course, we followed up with as many as we could to see how things in their lives were going.
Our Darling Taneth was looking ever the young beauty that she is! She gave me the great pleasure of FINALLY being able to meet Sullen Sal. We definitely can see what Deliciously Sinful Sin sees in him. Never one to change for anyone he was in jeans and a t-shirt and while we may not HEART his fashion sense we do HEART the way he is always himself. Definitely a HAWT guy and anyone who is sweet and caring to Our Darling Taneth gets biiiiig kudos in our book! She’s the best!
Lucky Lawyer Lucien was present and accounted for as well. Despite rumors that he has been seen looking quite melancholy and somber over the past month (come on, it’s L.L. Lucien after all, being somber is what makes him HAWT), he seemed to be in an excellent mood. He told yours truly that he brought out his best smile for the event. That smile, unfortunately, did not last the entire evening which we’ll explain later!
Ballerina Katarina looked to die for in a strapless yellow sundress! Certainly practically anything on that body would look expensive but we did question her about her fabulous fashion sense that we believe comes from her boyfriend, Lil’ Boy Blue Locke. When we questioned her on it she was a wee bit illusive but did admit that L.B.B. Locke occasionally supplies her with a dress or two. Who wouldn’t take his help??? He’s one snazzy dresser! She also confirmed that they have not yet gotten engaged. Although, we are hearing that they are shacking up together.
SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee never fails to bring attention to herself! She was wearing an uber sexy black strapless gown with white and gray vines printed into the fabric. It had quite the slit as well to show off more than a little of those famous/infamous legs. She greeted yours truly by jumping from the bar into my arms. She’s awfully lucky I have good reflexes or she may have gotten hurt! Knowing SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee she would have merely landed on a bed of magical roses instead.
I also got to catch up with one of our most avid readers in Cutie Carley! She was certainly enjoying the great food and the company. We hear that she definitely made the rounds and was even seen chatting with a number of people that we didn’t know she was familiar with. That young lady can make a friend out of ANYONE!!! We do have to wonder where she has been the past several months. All she told us is that it is “fun out of RhyDin”. Iiiinteresting!
Prof. Jolyon was busy giving his nightly lecture to Lil’ Lirssa when we found our way over to them. Lil’ Lirssa was again looking mighty spiffy in an adorable hunter green skirt and matching jacket. Such a little lady! Unfortunately, I only had a brief opportunity to discuss our shared interest — the plight of poverty-stricken children in this city.
But we’re quite sure that you would rather here of our discussion with her handsome tutor than our charity work anyway, you gossip scoundrels! Well, we did in fact discuss the nature of Prof. Jolyon’s relationship with Real Estate Mogul Rena (who joined us at the hearth as well). Unfortunately, he continued to remain koy about what exactly is going on there. From our very brief discussion with R.E.M. Rena in which she called him a “puzzle” it seems we are not the only ones confused by his behavior! The two did chat for quite a while afterward! Maybe a discussion on the state of their relationship???
We hear that Renna was in an amazingly sexy black number and was seen catching up with Icer. Unfortunately, Renna had moved on by the time I made it over to Icer’s couch where she was chatting with Drake…. who is yet another one of her relatives, according to our sources. Evidently the first of the current batch of Icer’s brood has begun hatching. It’s no wonder she’s trying to stay out of the house…. or den or cave or whatever!
Our sources caught more details on the upcoming wedding of Overlord Tormay and Our Darling Taneth! O.D. Taneth was overheard telling Sex Pot Kitty and Old Man Tass that the pair had decided to ask Therapist Chryrie to marry them! How cuuuute! Knowing T. Chryrie she will insist on pre-marriage counseling. Wouldn’t you love to just be a fly on the wall for one of those meetings? How much fun would pre-marriage counseling with O. Tormay and O.D. Taneth be???
Doc Anya was there on the arm of her man, Alper. She had the nerve of welcoming us to the cause of helping children in this city… which we find completely insulting to all the time, talent, and money that we here at the Den of Gossip have sunk into our favorite charities over the past two years we have worked in this city… and, really, that’s all we have to say about either of them. Thankfully, our night was brightened by some of the yummy eye candy that was occupying the table! Simmering Sivanna truly is TO DIE FOR! The woman just oooooozes sex! She was in a fantastic strapless black number that was cinched around the middle to show off her teeny tiny waist. Love her! The dashing Neo was also present. We hear some fantastic things about his exploits within the rings of the dueling venues. We may have to make a special trip there to see him for ourselves!
That lovely new girl AJ was around and chatting with Doc Eva and Ballerina Katarina. We’re hearing rumors that the girl might actually be pregnant. Wowzers! She and that man of her’s juuuuust hooked up and started living together as well. Now that’s a lot of pressure on a brand new relationship. We don’t understand why these kids can’t just slow things down. Why are they in such a damn hurry??? Well, perhaps speaking with Doc Eva gave her some perspective. Doc Eva isn’t exactly on the rocket express with her own relationship. They seem to be taking it nice and slow… which is probably a good thing since there’s still a TON of tension between her and her ex.
And then it was time for the big EVENT! We were so honored and delighted when The Many Faces of Fio and Awful Ali asked yours truly to unite them in holy matrimony! T.M.F.O. Fio looked delicious in a short, sassy indigo silk dress with a drop waist and ruffled skirt. And while we all knew A. Ali is suuuuper HAWT, he looked especially elegant in his black silk jodphuri jacket. Their witnesses seemed to be RhyDin’s Redheaded Stepchild, Tara, and a goat. We were straight and to the point and before the crowd knew it, T.M.F.O. Fio and A. Ali were JOINED!!! And they looked radiantly happy (and a bit nervous as to how everyone would react) about it!
Who doesn’t love a good surprise wedding???
Well, it seems that it didn’t take long for us to find out! Deliciously Sinful Sin and Old Man Tass stood in shock giving us the evil eye. And we must admit that it pained us to see it from D.S. Sin! Sex Pot Kitty and Lucky Lawyer Lucien stormed out of the Inn even! Shock reigned supreme for quite a while before people began congratulating the newly married couple.
We hear that the celebrating went on laaaate into the night and we must admit that these two are incredibly cute together. Only time will tell if they can stick it out in the harsh limelight of RhyDin but we certainly are hoping for the best for them. We certainly wouldn’t want the first marriage we officiated to end in divorce!
TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM!
