Not For Profit Monday!

Grumbling Grem often has a sour expression planted on his face but we hear that Monday evening he was spotted looking down right pissed off in the Red Dragon Inn. Once Mad Kazzy showed, his ill humor did seem to ease a bit which suggests to us that his rotten mood was about business, not his personal life. G. Grem and M. Kazzy were just as cuddly and over the top as ever!

The Many Faces of Fio was spotted with a dog. That?s just what every crazy girl needs ? another living being that depends on them. Hopefully, Awful Ali will lend her a hand. He certainly seems to be spending a lot of time with her lately. The pair seemed completely enraptured with one another as they shared dinner and the company of the lovely Rekah. If A. Ali and T.M.F.O. Fio get any closer, we?re going to have to start calling them Alfio! This relationship is actually starting to grow on us. You have to admit that they?re pretty darn cute together!

That Kacey seemed awfully jittery! We haven?t seen much of her these days but she was in the Red Dragon Inn Monday night making short work of some scotch. When a fight erupted in the Inn causing some loud noises, she was seen jumping to her feet and appearing quite a bit startled. We sure hope things are okay with her! She was seen chatting with Chief Mischief Maker Eless later into the night. We?re sure that if anything?s wrong, C.M.M. Eless will make it right again! She?s just that AWESOME!

Speaking of C.M.M. Eless, we hear that she was interrupted while talking to Redhead Tara by Lil Lirssa who took the opportunity to pressure C.M.M. Eless to take on one of her friends as an apprentice. C.M.M. Eless seemed eager to accept the help. We hear that L. Lirssa has been spending quite a bit of time these days finding jobs for orphans. In a way it?s a shame that the girl seems so dedicated to non-profit work. If she took those skills and her mad crazy connections towards a for profit venture, she?d be rich within the week. All the better for the orphans of RhyDin that she has not! We?ve got to say that we?re greatly impressed by the little lady she?s turning into!

Well, well, well! It seems that Badsider Princess PJ and Brale Brother Reap are certainly looking like quite the couple! We hear that they were doing some major macking on one another. Surprisingly enough, we have a feeling that there might be more than one or two women in RhyDin who are disappointed that B.B. Reap seems to be a taken man! B.B. Reap has been keeping company with quite a few pretty women in recent months. B.P. PJ has always seemed to have a special place in his heart, though. Better believe we?re going to be watching to see where this heads!

You?re NEVER going to believe who was in the Outback calling duels Monday night!

How?d you guess??? That?s right! it was SUUUUPER Des! No word as of yet on where she has been hiding out or what she?s been up to in recent months. She was too concentrated on the matches to talk much to her friends. She certainly seemed to be in fiiiiine form, though! They don?t get any lovelier than SUUUUPER Des and we?re SUUUUPER glad that she?s back!

The Gov MAN-tastic Matt seemed a bit shaken. With the troubling news facing the city, it?s no wonder he?s a bit upset. It took a long conversation with FLAWLESS Koy to get him to calm down. Our sources reported back that he looked quite broken up. This second term certainly seems to be weighing on him! We hope that it doesn?t become a burden for their marriage! With a new baby in the house and challenging careers, we?re certain there under more than enough stress!

Brotherly Love Wednesday!

The unique Risa was back behind the bar of the Red Dragon Inn Wednesday night. It seems that she and her equally unusual man, Wesker, are still quite close. The bar was pretty quiet early in the night which gave him plenty of time to eye up his little honey. This girl certainly must have something going on!

It seems that Darcy has a brother! Just what this city needs, right? Anyway, his name is David and he decided to auction his sister off right smack dab in the middle of the Inn. Claaaassy! Darcy was sold off to a guy named Drake and it didn?t take long for her to cozy right up to him. Amber seemed a bit disconcerted that a brother would sell off his sister like that but Darcy made it clear that she was quite comfortable with the arrangement. Don?t worry, Amber. You?re not crazy. We find it just as unsettling as you do!

This David is going to be GREAT blog material, though. Just watch and see! Within hours of hitting the Inn, he had made the rounds to all the pretty young women and had delivered at least one witty pick-up line or dazzling compliment to each.

We hear that The World?s Hottest Tender Tucker spent a good portion of his night lecturing Saucy Serena about her behavior. Iiiinteresting! Could he be unhappy with the tension between his ex-girlfriend and his co-worker/good friend??? We?re definitely interested in whatever this is that?s still between T.W.H.T. Tucker and Doc Eva. The two clearly need to get some closure if they?re ever going to move on from one another!

It seems that there?s not a whole lot of bad blood between Psycho Skid and The Many Faces of Fio! He was seen spending a bit of time with one of her personalities before taking off once Awful Ali arrived. We hear that the reason that Psycho Skid hasn?t been seen hanging out around the Inn has little to do with T.M.F.O. Fio and much more to do with a project that he has thrown himself into. Kind of scary, isn?t it? The idea of Psycho Skid focusing his energy on a project? We hate to even imagine what it might be!

Tense Friday!

Playboy Shane seems done with his sulking over his ex girlfriend?s betrayal and has now moved onto flirting with every halfway decent looking girl in sight. We have no idea the identity of the lady he was seen chatting up Friday night but she seemed to be soaking up all the lines that he was laying down! Nice to see that the boy hasn?t lose his touch! We hear that the girl was even seen leaving with him. Wow! Doesn?t take much in this town!

Well, what better way to start a relationship than to have your brother sell you to your new man??? Darcy was seen hanging out with Drake again and they were definitely acting like a couple. She was even taking the time to introduce him to her friends. He friends seemed pretty accepting of the new man in Darcy?s life but then again they probably don?t expect much out of her. The fact that he has all his teeth and can tell you the day of the week probably means that he is a step up!

Awful Ali was seen having a very serious looking discussion with Faye after Faye met The Many Faces of Fio? again??? Because one of sources SWEARS that the two ladies already knew each other. Who knows??? We don?t ask a whole lot of questions when it comes to T.M.F.O. Fio! We are, however, dying to know what it was that Faye had to say to Awful Ali! Could she have been warning him not to become involved with the crazy girl??? If we were his friend we certainly would!

While one third of the love triangle seems to have moved on, Dark Knight Verin has not given up hope that SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee might someday be his! The pair were seen at the bar where D.K. Verin was laying it on thick once again. Seriously, man, if she hasn?t given in by now, don?t you think it?s time to give up hope??? We only give them another couple of months. SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee will get bored teasing D.K. Verin and move on to torture a new man!

Say what you want to about Old Man Tass (he?s definitely old and lecherous) but he has an amazing ability to surround himself with only the hottest women! If a new one begins swimming in his social circles, chances are that he will meet her and kiss her before another man gets even his first pick-up line out. Friday night he was seen in the company of his wife, Sex Pot Kitty, along with Den Mama Sid and the always beautiful Bel.

Lusiphur was also present to make for an odd crowd. The large collection of Bloods were present to confront True on? well, we?re not entirely sure that telling that truth won?t get us killed. We?ll spill a lot for your entertainment but we don?t want Bloods busting down the door of the Den of Gossip any time soon! We hear that O.M. Tass attempted to stand up for True but the Bloods weren?t hearing it AT ALL! When Redhead Tara showed up to joing in?. well, let?s just say that the confrontation did NOT go over well. There was a whole lot of tension all around!

The Return of a Classy Broad Sunday!

SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee and Amber were seen trying to lure some poor unsuspecting sap away from the hearth to sit with them at the bar Sunday night in the Red Dragon Inn. We?re not entirely sure what they were up to but the idea of SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee and Amber working together for a common goal is sort of frightening! Thankfully, it didn?t last long as Amber became distracted when she spotted Darcy at the bar. It seems that Amber has a wee bit of a crush on Darcy?s woman-crazy brother! She was overheard calling him ?handsome? and asking Darcy to tell him that she said hello. Iiiinteresting! Certainly not the type we would have thought she?d go for!

The World?s Hottest Tender Tucker seemed all out of sorts Sunday night. We?re not at all sure what got into him but he did not look the least bit comfortable in his own skin. Can he STILL be getting over Doc Eva??? She?s pretty but she?s not life-altering HAWT! Come on, man! Get a grip! We hear that Chief Mischief Maker Eless had some consoling words for him but T.W.H.T. Tucker still took off pretty abruptly. Odd.

Queen of Class Sylvia was seen in the Inn! Swooooon! We fully admit that we?re not the least bit an unbiased media source. If Q.O.C. Sylvia asked yours truly to run away with her, nothing would stop that glorious union! Our dream woman caught up with her dear friend C.M.M. Eless and discussed the trials and tribulations of being a mom. We?d so love to be adopted by her!

Maybe we?ve been wrong the past couple months about which half of the Tucker/Eva relationship is having a hard time getting over the break-up because T.W.H.T. Tucker was looking mopey Sunday night and when Doc Eva came in with Manly Mason she was all smiles! The pair playfully chatted up their friends including Our Darling Taneth and C.M.M. Eless. They both seemed in fantastic spirits! Rumor has it that their good mood stems from the news that they just moved out of the Inn and into a place of their own.

Interestingly enough, our sources have been reporting back to us that Doc Eva?s new BFF is none other than Jalleia! Don?t remember her??? Well, she splashed into gossip papers early last year for a relationship with Alex and a very public feud with his ex. Very classy broad if we remember correctly!

Prof. Jolyon was looking a bit rough Sunday night. It seems that he was in quite a state over the continued disappearance of Lil? Lirssa and the arrest of Saucy Serena. C.M.M. Eless and his ?gal pal? Real Estate Mogul Rena were on hand to distract him from the bad news. We can?t really feel all that bad for him, though. When you keep company with trouble-makers, trouble will come your way and you?ll have not a soul to blame but yourself!

Heart-to-Heart Tuesday!

Booo! Booo say we! We have always been one of Lucky Lawyer Lucien?s biggest fans (come on, he?s HAWT) but we have to admit that we are quite disappointed with him. It seems that thanks to his hard work, Not-Doc Anya is now Doc Anya again. Bleh! How can anyone trust this woman? She?s as slimy and over the top as they come! All the gawdy jewelry! The dating two men! Needless to say there was no mirrored celebration in the Den of Gossip as Slimy Doc Anya and her close knit band of Yes Women were doing in the Red Dragon Inn Tuesday night. We hear that the champagne (we?re sure it wasn?t the cheap stuff and we?re sure that Slimy Doc Anya wasn?t paying) was flowing freely and that Topaz, She-Devil Aja, Michiko, and True were all imbibing of it.

Whatever.

We hear that some new girl was seen chatting up Awful Ali! Our sources say she definitely seemed to be trying to have a heart-to-heart. He?s certainly got something that the womenfolk like! Unfortunately for her, Awful Ali only had eyes for? Deliciously Sinful Sin! Oh, come on! He?ll be the first to tell you that nobody can look elsewhere once they?ve had an eye full of D.S. Sin! The pair of men were in fine decadent form, sharing a bottle of tequila and some of their typical chatter.

As usual, Awesome Alain was attracting quite the number of female admirers in his brief time in the bar! The man of many jobs continues to be one of the most sought after bachelors in RhyDin despite his well documented womanizing ways! He was seen hanging out at the bar with Chief Mischief Maker Eless, Lucky Lawyer Lucien, and with the recently jailed Saucy Serena on his arm. Iiiinteresting! He does like the bad girls! We hear that C.M.M. Eless, L.L. Lucien, and A. Alain all were busy talking business. There?s something really HAWT about that!

Alright! We?ve seen enough! It?s been a while but we?ve got to bring back the ?Sluttacious? moniker and give it to?. DARCY!!! That girl is NO GOOD! She?s got way too many men eating out of her dainty little hands these days. It certainly doesn?t help her cause that she?s the ringleader of those awful jello girls?. so SLUTTACIOUS Darcy it is! It has a nice ring to it! So what sent us over the edge??? We hear that she and Playboy Shane were doing some serious flirting Tuesday night at the bar. He?s definitely always seemed to have a bit of a thing for her!

A Stinger Thursday!

Our sources reported back to us that The Many Faces of Fio and Awful Ali seemed to be playing out some sort of classic porn movie Thursday night in the Red Dragon Inn. Okay, so there was no full frontal nudity but there were some really corny lines about a plumber coming to lay pipe. Really, we can?t complain about these two. On the adorable scale, they?ve officially reached pinch-a-baby?s-cheek level. Awful Ali is actually starting to grow on us! We hear that Deliciously Sinful Sin was not so impressed. We hear that he was seen rolling his eyes at the corny lines. Oh, come on, D.S. Sin! You know you love it!

D.S. Sin wasn?t without his own bout of icky cuteness for the night! We hear that for the first time in what seems like FOREVER he was spotted with Sullen Sal! We were starting to wonder if these two were still together. Sullen Sal has been spending a lot of time in the dueling venues and D.S. Sin has been seen spending a lot of time alone with bottles of alcohol. It certainly didn?t put any rumors to rest when our sources spotted them having a pretty intense argument in the Inn.

We hear that later into the night Psycho Skid walked in while T.M.F.O. Fio and Awful Ali were necking. A bit later, T.M.F.O. Fio were seen having a very frank discussion. Awkward, much??? It?s a bit sad actually. Psycho Skid FINALLY gave up his bad behavior and started acting like a grown man?. just in time to be dumped for Awful Ali! That?s got to sting!

What do you know? SLUTTACIOUS Darcy and Playboy Shane belly up to the bar and together once again. And FINALLY the pair began discussing the possibility of the two of them going out on a date. It?s about freaking time! This friendship has all the makings of one HAWT and SPICEY summer fling! By the end of August one or the other of them will cheat and it will make for a FANTASTIC blow-up of a break-up. Let?s get it started!

It seemed to be the night of strung out RhyDin Princesses. Redhead Princess Tara was talking to some doll and seemed quite confused about her own life. She wasn?t too confused to miss out on saying some not so nice things about her husband to SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee, though. And Badsider Princess PJ was looking ROUGH! When did she get so fugly??? We sure hope that there?s no Red Orc Brewery photo shoots coming up soon or else they?re going to need to get a SERIOUS make-up artist? and maybe a touch-up artist as well! We?re not exactly sure what?s going on in her life but she needs HELP! Quickly!

Preparing for June 26th Saturday!

Jokin? Jochin certainly has some unusual taste in women, no??? We hear that in the early evening hours of Saturday night he was seen in the Red Dragon Inn chatting and smoking with an unusual young Inn resident named Zoe. The girl?s a bit freaky but we suppose if there?s a common thread among the women that share Jokin? Jochin?s bed, it would be that they?re all a bit on the freaky side. Whatever floats your boat, buddy! You?re in the right town if you like them freaky!

What we wouldn?t give to have Awful Ali make us a meal! We hear that the dinner he put together for himself and the lovely Many Faces of Fio smelled AMAZING! The pair didn?t seem to have eyes for anyone but one another. That pair is really falling hard for one another it seems! We?re actually a wee bit worred for Awful Ali. We hope he doesn?t forget that as beautiful as T.M.F.O. Fio is, she?s also completely BONKERS!

Den Mama Sid was behind the bar! You do know that we love when she?s at work! We hear that she was quite a bit distracted Saturday night. She was seen whispering in hushed towards with Awesome Alain and company. Uh oh. You know when those two have their heads close together there is trouble a-coming! We?re sure that whatever is going on, they will handle it. After all, who would dare fight the combined forces of Den Mama Sid and Awesome Alain???

Chief Mischief Maker Eless was hard at work with Real Estate Mogul Rena and Queen of Class Sylvia as her sounding board trying to find a way to make the inn smell better! Ha! Maybe they should start by cleaning out all the old moldy sandwiches in the Lost and Found! Next they should give the Brale Brothers baths. If anyone can find a way, it would be C.M.M. Eless! We are sure of that!

We totally HEART Our Darling Taneth! She was overheard by our sources asking Awesome Alain if he would be a ?maid of the bride? in her upcoming wedding. Love it! Awesome Alain politely declined and, of course, C.M.M. Eless mentioned just how much she?d like to see him in a dress! We have to admit we?d like to see his legs as well! Intern Beauty is putting money down on A. Alain having chicken legs. That would totally ruin our fantasy of him! Evidently Rekah has already agreed to be a bridesmaid and if O.D. Taneth is going to have any more, she better get a move on it! The wedding is Friday, June 26th! We?re over the MOON excited for it!

Prof. Jolyon and Real Estate Mogul Rena were seen flirting up much of the night! The pair had their heads together at the bar before joining their favorite couple, Manly Mason and Doc Eva, by the hearth. What an interesting pair of opposite couples! Prof. Jolyon and R.E.M. Rena are too in control of their emotions while Manly Mason and Doc Eva have no control of their emotions. We have no idea what has made these two couples so darn close!

Maid of the Bride Monday!

Rumor has it that Chief Mischief Maker Eless and her frequently absent man, Connar, were spotted on the porch of the Red Dragon Inn Monday night having a quiet conversation. These two are much too subdued for our taste! They need to have a big fight! Entertain the masses! We do have to wonder how Eless feels about Connar?s frequent absences. We hear that she?s said that they will not marry for centuries and centuries. Iiiiinteresting!

We hear that Manly Mason and Doc Eva were having a terse discussion laaaate into the night in the Inn. No word on what their disagreement was over but the two have certainly been acting odd lately. Several of Manly Mason?s friends have been overheard mentioning some sort of illness that he may be suffering from. Well, we do so hope that he recovers and goes on to have many more blow-ups in the Inn! It has been quite a while since his last and we?re starting to long for one!

So adorable! Our Darling Taneth was overheard in the Outback Monday night confirming that FLAWLESS Koy will be making her ?maid of the bride? dress! Can you only imagine how absolutely stunning she and Rekah will look??? Her groom, Overlord Tormay, was also present and calling duels! The pair certainly seems to be excited about their upcoming nuptials! We know that we here at the Den of Gossip are excited!

Lil Lirssa seems to be back and is in one piece! Her friends will definitely be glad to see her. We?ve heard all sorts of rumors about her disappearance. We hear that she did have a bandage on one hand but otherwise seemed completely fine. In fact, she and Saucy Serena were seen teasing Real Estate Mogul Rena who was NOT with Prof Jolyon but a guy named Micheal! The pair were trying to help him decide on just the right flowers to get her in order to woo her! What did we tell you, Prof. Jolyon??? Let another one slip right through your fingers! It?s time to get your game face on, man!!!

Simmering Sivanna was around laaaate into the night in the Outback as well chatting with the handsome young Neo. For a woman living with another man, she certainly spends a great deal of time at Neo?s side. We don?t buy that there isn?t just the slightest of attractions between the pair. If there?s not, it?s a crying shame! They?d make fore one really HAWT couple!

Overheard Around Town!

- ?I find that women and minds are an annoying combination.? You can blame that one on Brale Brother Baker!

- ?We playin? telephone? I used to always add the word ?penis? even if I didn?t hear it. ? That little tid bit from Captain Sassy Pants Eve does not surprise us one bit.

- ?Good news!! Apparently I?m easy!? We hate to burst your bubble, Playboy Shane, but that?s not news.

- ?That is not what I donated. ? According to Neo when Deliciously Sinful Sin streaked the Charity Auction.

- ?Ali?s got like.. six cooches. He?ll show them to you if you ask.? Ali?s got six? what, Deliciously Sinful Sin?!?!

- ?Bout the same time you have puppies?? Head Pussy Panther in response to SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee asking him when he and S?jira were going to have kittens.

- ?Whatever happened to the golden days of the RDI?.where lesbians and loose women where only a hands-grope away?? Another classy line courtesy of Brale Brother Baker.

- ?Maybe she?s like an..uberlesbian? You know.. the kind that absolutely despise dudes, and wear burckenstocks?? Don?t blame us if you?re offended. Blame Brale Brother Reap? but we?re guessing you?ll have to get in line. He offends people just waking up in the morning.

- ? It?s called planned parenting, Icer. The problem with being fully sentient creature is we don?t mate just for reproduction, so to say. So the smart thing is to pick the times, instead of just letting yourself pop out kids like a bubble gum machine.? Therapist Chryrie?s thoughts on the dragon epidemic.

- ?That bothers you? Figured you?re the type that?s on your knees some way or the other sorta often.? Lil? Lirssa to Brale Brother Baker when he complained of getting his knees dirty by crawling around. Score: L. Lirssa 1, B.B Baker 0.

- ?Nah?.yer thinkin? of my bitches.? Brale Brother Baker in reply to Lil? Lirssa. Score: L. Lirssa 1, B.B Baker 1.

- ?That?s just gross, Half-baked. Really, isn?t there a law against doing that to animals?? Lil? Lirssa in reply to Brale Brother Baker. Ding ding! We have a winner! Final Score: L. Lirssa 2, B.B Baker 1.

Letters to Marc Franco!

Is it just us or are people who feel the need to close a letter without a lot of titles usually pompous idiots?

From the Desk of Lady Onyxia Uth Dravon Dragonbane

Dear Mr. Franco;

While I commend you for your ideas in the Children?s benefit, Noble House Uth Dravon is issuing a challenge to you.

Time to put your money where your mouth is. So far I have seen you do nothing but trash the reputation of the Riverview Clinic and the members of my family that work in the trenches there. You are quick to judge and believe the innuendo your so-called colleague printed. Yet, you have failed to look for yourself.

You have called my kinsfolk sheep, yet that term best describes what you are doing it seems.

Well, my challenge to you is to make your ?charity foundation? into something worth respecting. This will require more work than you seem to be able to put into checking your own sources, to be sure.

I found last night to be nothing more than an excuse for you to gossip and take snipes at others, all under the guise of ?helping the children.? As someone that prefers action over words, I must say your actions leave me many doubts as to your integrity and intentions.

So will you rise to the challenge, or be seen as another that exploits children for their own gain.

House Uth Dravon is watching and will not blindly sign checks.

Signed;

Lady Onyxia Uth Dravon Dragonbane
Magistrate of Order - Magistratical Council of Elders
Noble House Uth Dravon
Member of the Sovereign Houses of the Royal Rhydin Imperium
Dear Lady Dragonbane,

Being that I have never heard of you I can only assume that you are new to town. Therefore, I will excuse your ignorance. My interns and I have been a supporter of the local charities since we moved our publication to RhyDin two years ago.

I sat in a dunk booth at the Beltane Festival last year and all proceeds went to a local soup kitchen. I allowed myself to be auctioned off on several occasions for charity. The Gossip GangSTAR has also matched the interns salary up to a certain amount (which has depended on the year?s success) and donated it to their favorite charity. Finally, we have been involved in a number of charity events through our various sponsors. Simply because we do not feel it necessary to announce what we do for the community does not mean that we do nothing.

This charity was created when we at the Den of Gossip decided that we are here in RhyDin to stay.

I am sorry that you find fault with my behavior last night. Many of the people I spoke with I have met in the past and was following up on previous conversations. Following up on their lives is my job and, for them most part, I believe that they understand that. Had any of them asked me to leave them I would have. My conversation with the people of Riverview Clinic was entirely cordial and we did not discuss their personal lives at all.

If the people of RhyDin wish to continue supporting the Riverview Clinic that is their right. I have done all I can. Therefore, Riverview Clinic will no longer be mentioned in our publication. I?m beginning to find these sorts of letters tiresome. The inherent entertainment value is most certainly gone by now anyway.

Have a fantastic day!

Marc

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!
