Beltane ? Crowning of the May Queen!

Seriously. Did you really think there was any way we here at the Den of Gossip would miss this???

Why? Because we HEART Beltane! This one was one of the more fabulous crownings in recent memory! Paper lanterns filled the trees in bloom and the path to the Glen was lined with torches. Booths were everywhere with games, tests of strength, fortune tellers. Performers of all sorts and sizes were everywhere you looked and music filled the air. It was everything that we have come to expect from a Beltane celebration in RhyDin and so much more!

And how could we not start with the new May Queen?!?! For some reason, Rekah decided that as May Queen she should wear a dinosaur costume?. with a tutu. Yes, folk, this is your representative of fertility and abundance. Le sigh! That, unfortunately, wasn?t the most curious aspect of her arrival. SHE CAME WITH MEGA-WITCH DAWN! Seriously??? When did these two become friends and who decided it was a good idea?

Anyway, she was adorable when crowned by the Headmistress of events, Risa, who was her usual upbeat and peppy self in an off-the-shoulder peasant dress. When it came time for Rekah to choose her Green Man, she proudly named?. Vir Callide??? Who??? We have NO details on this guy but our sources tell us that he is quite hot in a rough around the edges, mountain man sort of way. Iiiiinteresting choice! He was seen spinning around the dance floor late in the evening with Rekah as well as with Shylah who was in a gorgeous white and purple floral printed maxi dress.

Okay, just wondering, guys, who decided that it was a good idea for Gideon to be the Marquis of the May Queen Court??? First of all, we wouldn?t want to see him anywhere neeeeeaaaar Lirssa! He?s as sleazy as they come. Always has been. Always will be. The problem is that too many of you RhyDin women are far too eager to become notches on this man?s bedpost and he?s only too happy to oblige you all. You?re just making his ego larger and larger. It?s going to get to the point where it will suffocate you with its size and girth. Oh, shut up and get your minds out of the gutter. Dirty, dirty girls.

Speaking of dirty, dirty girls, he was seen making eyes at Clover who was on hand to man the Alpha Cologne booth as she is evidently the brand?s spokeswoman. We haven?t reported on her yet but she?s just what you would expect from a spokeswoman for a product with Harris?s name on it. She was wearing a purple latex dress. Yeah, you read that right. And heels that were way above the classy/trashy limit. That classy/trashy height level on heels is a slippery slope, ladies. And while we?re talking heels, please explain to me why you all felt the need to wear sky high heels to a party in the Glen??? We here in the Den of Gossip do agree that fashion comes before comfort BUT NOT SAFETY! You silly birds deserve the sprained ankles that you?re waking up with this morning!

OMG! The Ryans were there! Now we believe it was a little late to have babies out and the nighttime Beltane activities can get a bit? well, crazy. Particularly that bonfire lighting! You never know whose boobies will be left a-flying! Best keep the kids locked up tonight, peoples! Anyway, even though those kids were out too late around too much booze, we do have to admit that OMG! CUTEST THINGS EVAR! But with AJ?s genes how can you go wrong? ?even when paired up with Stas. But they had the little things on leashes. That?s the problem with you RhyDinians, you treat your kids like pets. THEY?RE KIDS! Eventually the nanny came to pick up the kidlets and mommy and daddy got a little? frisky, if you know what we?re saying. We?ll just leave it at that!

We hear that the Ryans were seen joking with their good friend, Sivanna! Insert wolf whistle here! Seriously. Sivanna?s fashion sense and raw hotness never fails to impress and Beltane is just her sort of party. You know, debauchery at its finest!

Always a great mingler, Eless seemed to have a fine time, passing out little beautiful nosegays to guests and chatting with her friends. As much as it pains us to say it, we have to admit?. we didn?t like her dress. It was colorless! This is Beltane! We want to see bright colors and beautiful prints! Don?t get us wrong, the nude flowing dress was stunning but it just wasn?t exactly Beltane-esque. We expected more from Eless. She has two more evenings to redeem herself! Of note, though, in all the mingling that Eless did was a very flirtatious conversation with Kalamere. I know, I know. You people think I?m off my rocker but I?m telling you that Eless/Kalamere would be some FANTASTIC chemistry.

Mason was on hand at the Delectable Cravings booth looking as handsome as ever but there was no Eva in sight! Booo! We haven?t seen the pair together in so long that we?re beginning to wonder about the state of their relationship. We thought we?d hear wedding news by now but there?s nothing but silence. Definitely curious, is it not? With all those single loose and drunk women running about, we would have definitely kept an eye on Mason if we were Eva! Our sources spotted Mason at one point giving a party-goer a hard look and a stern word for eyeing little Lirssa! That girl is NEVER going to date with Mason on hand!

Speaking of Lirssa! She served as the May Queen Marchioness and looked utterly adorable in a very grown-up single shouldered dress with a wide ribbon cinching the waist. She looked so happy when she was crowned! She?s becoming such a lovely little lady! Fio was there as the proud mama to watch her girl get crowned and looked almost a little too understated in a simple gray dress with a string of pearls. Sometimes we still worry about Fio. Certainly, she?s doing much better these days but she often looks like she could use a week long vacation on a tropical island.

Kate arrived on Lucky?s arm ? no lie ? and the pair seemed awfully cozy all night long. Oh, don?t give me that friends ?B.S.?! Plus, what husband in his right mind lets his HAWT and naughty wife attend BELTANE with a good-looking man in a kilt??? That, my friends, is just inviting disaster to your doorstep. We think their body language was oooooozing all sorts of naughty things. We know it?s wrong to encourage an affair but, omg, how juicy would it be??? And our sources report back to use that there was a SMOOOOCH shared between the pair on the dance floor! What a fabulous slut!

It seems Niamh is still with her baby?s daddy, Brishen, for some godforsaken reason. We do NOT get what it is that she sees in that man but she definitely is into him. The couple were there with their adorable little one and while, yes, it was too late for him to be out in our opinion, at least he?s too young to spend the rest of the week repeating the naughty things he heard unlike the Ryan children! They were on hand to support Brishen?s sister, Lilli, as the old May Queen gave way to the new.

Silver Mark sales were fast and furious around its tent and Alain was there to make sure everything was running smoothly. We hear that he didn?t stick around long, though. His wife-to-be, Sophie, showed up and whisked him off. There?s been all sorts of rumors being spread that they actually had broken up but it certainly didn?t seem that way. Alain greeted a couple friends but as soon as his girl whispered in his ear, he was off. That Beltane air will get you every time!

Aja was there with her sister, Ajia, enjoying the festivities. Those two wild broads never miss a rip-roaring party! We hear that Aja was overheard musing as to why ?Green Man? sounds like such a dirty phrase. ?Uh, because you have a dirty mind??? We?re pretty sure that Aja can make any word dirty in the right tone. We?re telling you, there?s something about that Beltane air! Everybody?s mind slides right into the gutter and it gets progressively worse with each night of the festival. So if you missed last night, better not miss tonight or tomorrow night!!! You?ll certainly be one sorry goose if you do!

Gwen, who was named one of the ladies in waiting, was running around collecting ?shinies? in a cute fairy costume with pink wings! We hear that she was able to pick off quite the collection of goodies off all the drunks. So if you?re waking up this morning with a hangover and realize you?re missing your watch might want to go track down Gwen!

Joey, Joey, Joey. This girl is often a walking mistake ? from how she wears her hair to how little she chooses to wear to what guy she has at her side. She did look decent Saturday night even if her dress was a touch shorter than what we would care to see her in. However, Sylus was her date for the evening. There?s just something wrong about the two of them together. We hear that Sylus was overheard teasing her about a ?melt down? she had in public. Yeah, that?s a good idea. What a caring, sympathetic boyfriend, dumbass. He then smirked at her when she mentioned marriage AND didn?t offer to escort her himself to the masquerade ball when she mentioned seeing if Kalamere would escort her AND encouraged her to let Antonio (who was manning a kissing booth) kiss her wherever she wanted AND spent part of the night talking about his ex. Okay, not only is he too dumb to have her but he?s too dumb to liiiiivvvvveeee! Come on, man! YOU ARE DATING JOEY DAMARCO! EVEN THOUGH SHE IS A WALKING, TALKING MESS, SHE?S STILL TOO GOOD FOR YOU! Now wise up and start treating her like you?re damn lucky to have her!

Collie didn?t go for low-key (but then when does she ever?) when dressing for the evening. Our sources say that the green satin dress definitely made her stand out but we suppose we?ll have to forgive her more formal attire since she was on hand to marry any couple wishing to tie the knot. If you never know when you may officiate a wedding, I suppose you would dress a bit formally. Her husband, the always sleazy Darien, was at her side, making inappropriate comments since that seems to be pretty much all he?s good for.

?And this, folks, is just the first night! It?s the best weekend of the year to be in RhyDin! Our sources will be there for tonight?s bonfire lighting! Will you???
