Pink’s Madness. 7.3 Defying Gravity

Pink and purple. Much better mix don’t you think?

Welcome to Week 17

Sunday

So you think I can make 16,557 in groceries in a week? We’ll soon see.

Oh she knows she’s got it going on.
It’s like she was primping in the bathroom and suddenly realised something sinister. Hehehe.

Damon Ridgeway ( Malinda Ridgeway’s son (Verlaine’s grandchild)) marries Jana Knott, (the ex husband of the Libros twins’; Carmelo, third wife’s child with him)

Rahsaan Abe and wife Pamela (Newell) welcome son Rolando to join big sis Janet (by Caryn Rao).

Dedrick Coastal and Sharon Grossman welcome Aileen.

Tera Pepper and Charlie Crews (married to Judith Radon) welcome son Nikolas.

Jarred Radon/Rollins welcomes his third child, and second with his current wife Vicki Rollins named Dexter.

So she finishes work and immediately hugs Daniel Pink. Yes he has a girlfriend; Janice Libros, one of Verlaine’s grand kids. Daniel as you may remember is Vita Pink’s son with Jevon Daniel.

Then she realises 4 star celeb Bernard Rockwell is about, and she’s not above acting all girlish and giggly to get a look in. Leann Bennevidaz (Jarred Radon/Rollins daughter) is the bored blonde. Tana Adayo is in the background arguing with Daniel. She’s not to pleased he’s been flirting.

Don’t ask me how, but they became flirty and now Juliane has a star level. Wait 2 star levels.
Bernard (Harrington) has a wife called Krissy Rockwell (loosely related, very)
Tana is getting angry with Leann now. I don’t know why.
Dereck Cliante is walking past looking worried as Emily Yamamoto brushes straight past him.

Needless to say Dereck gets a hug, whilst Emily his long term partner watches in the background, and Daniel is somewhere having a breakdown.

Andrae Hinds/Darwin gets a hug. He’s Verlaine’s son. And a grandfather.

I wonder how she’ll charm the boys when she’s got her bump. Hopefully twins.

As Sunday ends the groceries make 1,978.

Monday

Tolstoy is a very attentive father-to-be this time, constantly wanting to massage his wife. He wants a girl. I guess Steel really is his favourite. She is after all the only one he wants to do things with.

This involves wanting to play chess, and wanting to beat her at chess. Ever the supportive father.

I love money plants, just sold of 8 grand in money plants, plus they gave me another seed. This is doable this week. Only 5,297 left and my regular grocery sale should meet that. Never doing this career again I can tell you. Puts me off doing any of the self-employed careers I can tell you.

Juliana puts her maternity leave to good use.
Hold on what is Steel doing home? It’s 11am she should be at school. Blasted child.
Oh great Smith is home too. Brilliant. Just what I need, delinquent ex adorable children.
You know Juliana is 10 days younger than Tolstoy. Hadn’t realised the gap so big.

Huh Seth’s not at work either. It must be the day for it.

And Udnekwo is giving herself the wasteful moodlet by voluntary having a bath. Stupid Sim.

By the end of the days harvest Seth manages to reach his total. With some to spare. Oh yeah! One Agricultural mastermind in the house. And the last. Now what job next…

Well he wants to be a PI so may as well let him join the ranks of Edith Prescott.
Plus it will be a nice way to check on the happenings of the town.

I wish someone would fix the plumbing there are puddles everywhere.

Ok I’m not gaining him logic skill to help his career, unless he wants to, likewise he won’t do stakeouts unless he wants to. But cases are ok because he needs to something and it’s the main part, but only 3 a day, like he would get in the fire, or paranormal tracks.

However his first 3 cases bring him to level 3. I like this track.

He wanted to conduct a stakeout which of course prompted him to want to do five more. This could be a very good week.

Tuesday

Gilscarbo and Ramon Coastal welcome Juliet Morrigan. This prompts Seth to want five grandkids. He only needs one more, so hopefully he can hang on until Juliana delivers.

The house just suddenly reminded me of some particulary garish baby stuff.

Sorry I was looking up baby things for mum. Well not for mum she’s not making me a big sis again, but for her to buy for my younger brother’s baby due in May. But lets not get started on that as it is incredibly easy for me to become bitter about that.

He will automously wake her up to do things with the baby bump. She doesn’t like him much right now.

She better not damage my babies doing that.

She does it for a 3.5 skill bars. Yay, which is what she needs for walk when she goes back.

My first Vamp gnome. Oh no there’s a second one. Now which ones have they replaced.
So none of my existing gnomes are missing. So what to name them.

So Laura because I am happily catching up with Lakeside Heights at the minute.

Oh SB commented a while back, I know I should remember what she writes, Oh she does Sessions which was next on my list of to-reads.
I’m allowed to forget who writes things. It’s not embarrassing at all.

Don’t be offended that they are vamp gnomes. Really it’s a good thing, them being my first and it being all exciting and everything.

Oh and the puddle is either the sink or the dishwasher.
There’s also a shower and bathroom sink on the leaky side as well as a laptop.

Angelita Barbarossa has passed. The first of Verlaine’s children to do so. She was from his second tour.
Her long term-partner Johnnie Ly passed 4 weeks ago exactly. They had a son; Marlin together.
Well if you exclude the one who died as a toddler.

Caryn Rao passes. She had Janet with Rahsaan Abe, and had a very onn/off relationship with Unigwe.

Logan Witherspoon is having doubts about popping the question to his girlfriend Stacey Darwin.

6.53pm Labour begins.

Logan’s friends think the relationship is a bad idea.

Steve Darwin passes. He’s Andrae and Lacy’s half brother. He also has daughter Gayle with Kyra Inkbeard, and is grandfather to Lyndsey.

Stacey has been saying her relationship with Logan wouldn’t last, and she didn’t want it to.

Steel is developing a habit for greeting the paparazzi. I think she fancies herself as an actress.

Welcome Sheldon (Sidney). Held by Juliana.

Insane, Neurotic,

Classical, Frogs Legs, Green

Welcome Shakespeare (William). Held by Tolstoy

Insane, Evil. (Bored of)
Soul, Stu, Orange

You know we haven’t had green ruling the roost yet. We’ve had Orange (twice).
Steel’s Lilac has been in at least once.
Dr Smith’s Violet hasn’t appeared either.

That’s just for your information should it affect you heir choice. Although tradition woul dictate a female heir.
Saying that it might be nice to go for unusual looking Sims for a change should any of them develop that way. Although we already know that Steel and Smith will be cuties.

Hold on I feel I should mention that I HATE green. Really HATE green.
But I do want a girl.
Maybe if there isn’t a huge gap by the time Seth/Udenkwo ages.

By midnight Juliana is using the weights again.

Wednesday

Thomas Pink and Katherine Lai welcome son Garret Lai.

Tolstoy wants a baby. There’s no room in the house. Both Seth and Udenkwo do want 10 grandchildren. Seth has 7, Udenkwo 6. So it would help.
Ok so the next woman he meets in a suitable place e.g. tourable or with a bed will be seduced.

Thursday

Christy Libros passes. She had two daughters Natalie and Abby, and a grandson Rafael.

Mary Chatman is the step-daughter of one of the U’s. She’s dating Thomas.
Needless to say Tolstoy gets his way successfully.

This prompts Tolstoy to do the walk which is nightmarish slow, especially when the lots are off the road.
Udenkwo is 90.
Seth is 89,

Oooh a lot of the spare T’s are pregnant. That’s nice. We’re in an agin population situation you see. Only 8 babies, 8 toddlers, 8 children in the hood. Well 20 teens.
Although by saying that I’ve probably jinxed it, and we’ll see an influx of babies next week.
Although I could start a fertility drive. Every woman at the hospital at certain times immediately gets pregnant if they have a aprtner/love interest. It’s irritating to do it with the men.

Hey Tennyson finally has a love interest! I had given up hope on her. Seriously she never had a friend, or romantic interest since she moved out. Yay! Rumour has it they’ve been into public woohoo. I guess it takes a certain kind of male to do that. In this case Steve Becker. And you’ve guessed it, he is loosely related. Well he’s on the tree.
Timothy Yamamoto( V grandchild)
Demetria Biddle (Tim’s wife)
Lyndsay Becker (Dem half sister-same dad)
Steve Becker (L’s half bro- same mum)

I’m also going to put a vamp or two in the hood to see what will happen.

I can’t believe I got Tolstoy to have an affair twice. I thought he would be faithful.
Oh you don’t know about number 2.

Brandy Fennel. She’s on the tree, but not at all blood related.

Oh and Juliana is still addicted to the weights. She’s doubled her skill requirement for work at the moment. And seriously she is looking really muscular. She’s only been doing it for 11 hours.

Andrae Darwin died. He was one of Verlaine’s kids.
He has three children : Racheal, Ramon, Dedrick with long term partner Vicky Coastal. And two granddaughters. Juliet (with Gilscarbo) and Aileen (with Sharon Grossman) She died W13D4. He married Adrina Hinds W14D4. She died a few Sim hours ago.

Friday

Tolstoy still enjoys regular chess games with Steel. He wants them, and he needs the logic for work. It’s all great.

Tolstoy is at level 5 for work. I was hoping to go through a profession a week, but then there is no way I’m going for architecture, and I think the stylist may cause too many error 12’s.

Steel is getting a B, and Smith an A.

After beating Steel at chess Tolstoy feels ready to take on the ranked players.

Tolkein is deffo pregnant.

Mrs Muscular decides that cardio is a better bet, especially because she wants more star ranks and well being fit is more important that muscles for a woman.

Kristina Abe/Lindley and husband Damien Lindley welcome twins Kendra and Kristal. Damian has a daughter with Janette Caliente. Kristina is the granddaughter of Verlaine.

Krissy and Bernard Rockwell are expecting. Loosely but really blood related. More on the tree than anything else.

Aren’t they just adorable?
Sheldon is in orange and Shakespeare in the green.

Davon Huntley (Voltaire’s son) and Lakeshia Thomason (Verlaine grand daughter) welcome twins Damion and Marisa.

Jaimey Patal (half sister to Libros) and Jeffrey Radon (V grandchild) welcome Callie.

Saturday

A new vamp gnome turns up.
Now what to name it.

SFE who writes Alyssa Richards

Steel: Insane, Virtuoso, Friendly, Dramatic.

How poetic is that. Plus she’s absolutely stunning. Her cleavage is rather large. This picture doesn’t really do it justice. She WILL be an actress. I will make sure that she becomes the top actress. She’s just to perfect not to have on stage. And although Rock star would fit the virtuoso trait she’s just too good for that. For the first time I want to declare an heir without a poll. I mean the cabbage patch twins are all very well and good, but Steel just lives up to my expectations every time. I said when she was a toddler that she should be dramatic and by honest fate she became dramatic. I absolutely adore her. I imagine there will be lots of Steel spam now.

Smith: Insane, Friendly, Perceptive, Good.

I know a bit bland.

Tolkein welcomes Ferby (male) and Elisabeth (girl) with Antonio Bates. He has 3 other children with different mums.

Twain Pink welcomes twin boys Tristan and Leonel. The father is Deshaun Seabottom (half bro to the Seabottom twins) he is married (no kids) to Nicolle Caliente (V grand daugher).

Trollope welcomes Nancy and Donavan with husband Cornell Goldbeard. They join Keenan.

Steel is not made of steel yet. She’s taking of Julina’s place on the bench whilst Juliana uses the jogger.

The teen Ursuala DiPaolo is wants Tolstoy to investigate if teen boyfried Rory Caliente will propose.
Apparently Rory brought some nice flowers with the intention of proposing and threw the flowers away.

Steel hasn’t forgotten her love of chess however, initiating her twin to the game.

Kent Goldbeard and Lakshmi Bone welcome triplets Cornelius, Dane and Willow Goldbeard. Both were shocked at their arrival as Lakshmi showed no signs. In fact both single Sims deny a relationship. Kent retains custody. Kent is Heather Goldbeard’s son.

Updike welcomes Cleveland and Selena Pink with his almost step-daughter Julia Huggins.
He has two kids with her mother and his fiancé.

Oh crud it just flicked to the house.

To show me that SFE the Dark can defy gravity and is flying!
Queue one of the best songs ever. In it’s rocked up format. Performed at the Royal Varity Show in 08 with Brian May (Queen) on the guitar.
The stage version of the song is even better especially when performed by Kerry Ellis, with Dianne Pilkington. And yes you can find that version on youtube as well, but seeing as this was on a TV show it seems more ethical in a way to share it.
Oh the song is Defying Gravity from the musical Wicked.

And ignore the fact that the dress doesn’t suit her. And yes I do use the term dress very loosely because it does barely cover her bum, but she was a fantastic figure even if it does make her stomach look bigger than it is.
She does have one and a half albums out with Brian May doing guitar on both but she is one of rare performers who always sound ten trillion times better live. She was born to be on stage.

Sorry I could talk about Kerry Ellis till the cows come home as the saying goes.

But the vamp wasn’t the reason why the camera flashed home, as I’m sure you realise.

And queue the Baywatch running. I’m surprised Steel didn’t use this oppourtunity to show you her bikini body.

Oh yes that reminds me.
Goopy Morrigan and Kate Yamamoto welcome daughters Christine and Meeghan.
Kate is Verlaine’s granddaughter. Verlaine’s step-son has twins with his granddaughter.

Uglow welcomes son Linford (formerly Shannon but I couldn’t keep that) with Jeffrey Radon, who has a daughter Callie (born on Friday) with his current partner Jaimey Patal.

The death causes Steel to become immediate best friends with her mum making her a Fae Leecher (1 star) which prompts her to want to be a Star News Anchor.

Juliana entertains the Grim for his services. And I mean entertain in every sense of the word, I just lost the picture.
Making her the only happy Sim in the entire house. Don’t worry. It’s not like the Grim is possibly fertile at all, and the game just wouldn’t be that mean to me.

Sorry rest in peace Udenkwo. I’m sorry your death was overshadowed by births and you flirty daughter-in-law.

Amy and Verlaine’s graves are to the right.

Then I get distracted watching Kizzy Yamamoto flirting with Steve Becker at the Gallery. Tolstoy was trying to find a lost pink flamingo there.

So that’s where the week ends.

Score: 676
