SNEAK PEEK: Seafood Banquet Coming Up!

Hello to all you readers! 
Of course, this blog is the clear place to get news. With such island favorites as Diamond Giver, Genevieve Millianette, Island Queen, dark figures such as Azlyn and the Fish, and our very own princess Daisy, this blog has become the hottest place on the internet! 
However, everyone felt that it was missing one thing. Sure, you readers come here for news. But what about the hot, juicy celebrity gossip?
Society Gems Magazine has been granted exclusive access to this blog, where we hope to give you all the best coverage of the inside lives of your favorite celebrities!
Today, we start with a special SNEAK PREVIEW of our next issue, where we have been granted exclusive permission to cover the Island Queen's Seafood Banquet! This event is being held to raise awareness against the Fish Rebellions, and, as the only magazine allowed inside, we are sure to give you all the details you want to hear!

EXCLUSIVE! Our working cover for this weekend's issue
 
And here is the leading paragraph of our featured article: Why The Postponing?

While the Fish ravage the countryside, a Seafood Banquet is being planned within the walls of the Island Queen's palace. This party was intended to raise funds for the anti-Fish movement, a cause that would save our island from possibly years of war. And yet, today, the Island Queen postponed her party to next Saturday. This cancellation brings up a lot of questions. What were her motives? Many have rumored of possible other plans (any hot dates we don't know about?), but some have accused her of being in alliance with the fish. Others insist that their beloved Queen could not possibly have anything to do with the rebellions tearing her country apart. Others have asked: what is next for our country? Will the fish see this as a victory? Many are inclined to think not, but some have already heard rumors of another fish attack that got out of hand. We are still awaiting a comment from either the Queen or the Fish themselves to confirm or deny this report. 
Response from her guests, for the most part, seems rather joyous. "YES YES YES!!! :D :D so happy" said Diamond Giver, one invitee, in a private message. Already several have responded that they will still attend this postponed event. But this does not answer the fundamental question: Why did the Island Queen postpone her party in the first place? We at Society Gems believe we have uncovered the answer. 

Read the rest of the article, and more on the Fish Rebellions, the Diamond Island Split with Azlyn, and more in the upcoming issue of Society Gems Magazine!

Not swimmin' with the fishes!

Greetings humble islanders!

Your beautiful island noblewoman has safely returned home! I know you all have missed my darling blog posts that once graced your computer screen! Woe is me that I have not written in so long. Nevertheless, in my defense, I was forced to flee my home. I know that all the peasants are probably thinking "Oh, but Genevieve, the most magnificently gorgeous human being to ever touch their feet to land [which is of course inaccurate because I'm too rich and important to have my toes come in contact with soil...eww!] you  blessed us with the knowledge of your epid, your mobile internet device." To my dismay, my epid fell out of my llama skin coat pocket as I was walking up to Azlyn Aeron's castle. Into her mote of piraƱas. 
He thinks technology is delicious.
With a sliding of extremely expensive technology against llama pelt, one of the only epids on Earth was lost. Thus, on my journey from Azlyn's home to mine, I could not communicate.
The journey was brutal, I had to spend a whole half-hour (30 minutes of torture!) riding one of the giant fish that was enslaved since the war. We travelled along the coast until I reached the wreckage that had once been my estate. 
It was a disaster! Dead fish strewn across my lawn, the leftovers of war (no food pun intended, those beasts are not in my taste!) Fish were piled in every room. A few smart ones had managed to live in the bathtub for a while...
My feline Domitus Enobarbus wasn't thrilled. 
yet soon realized that soap isn't fish food. 
Naturally, I was rather upset (I had lost 1000,00000,00000 of my 100000,00000,000,00000,000000,000000,0000000 in that palace!) Not to mention some family heirlooms, such as my mother's hairbrush and my first 1000-dollar bill [rewarded to me when I was five for dusting a lamp... never doing that painstaking chore again!] Yet I recruited some 100,000,000 peasants to rebuild my gorgeous place of residence (and I gave them the sickly looking fish, which I believe is a fair exchange for the very little I ask of them.)
So my mansion has returned to full beauty and perfection! My llamas ran away though, so my llama farm project has been somewhat setback, though I will inform you of my future ventures!

From the beautiful,
Fitz Lady Genevieve Vertiline Constance Esther Rowena Millianette

Also, regarding recent events in our country's history, the splitting of Diamond Island does not concern me at all. I am great friends with both the Island Queen and Azlyn, thus I have no complaints. Not to mention my palace is directly in between the two nations. Yet I hope to someday (when I get my affairs, and llamas, in order) to establish the land on which my palace resides as a neutral ground between the two nations (such as Washington D.C. in the United States.)
