Beltane Masquerade Ball - 1:08 am

The interns and I absolutely looove how Yeardley skirts the line between sexy and trashy so well. She always comes just within the realm of sexy but pushes it juuuust enough that we all know she's too naughty for most to handle! She's wearing a slinky purple number with a thigh high slit! Seriously! We were about to ask where Kalamere was buuuuut our sources are telling us he just showed up. Gooooood thinking.

Speaking of good thinking, Magenta showed up to get in a little quality time with the wifey. Who can blame her? Audrey's looking hoooot!

Wow, wow, wow. Who knew Thorn could clean up? It seems she's taking being on the Beltane court awfully seriously as well because she is looking STUNNING! We're not sure what's more fantastic -- her purple single sleeve column dress or the beautiful braid her hair was pulled back into. She definitely was a more subdued version of herself as she tried to be on her best behavior.

What??? Kalamere is an idiot! We hear that Yeardley left to head to his place but he's sticking around to hang out with.... JOEY??? OMG! Joey is T-R-O-U-B-L-E! We're still not sure what sort of game Kalamere is playing with those two women but we're pretty sure one of them is going to hurt him. Bad.

Rekah's Birthday Party - 10:46 pm

Lesson for the men of RhyDin. You never let your girlfriend go to a 'no pants' party unattended. Why? Iona just showed up in a French maid costume. Yep. And if you're not there, you're missing out on that sight as is her boyfriend who is no where to be seen.

I'm hearing from my sources now that I left too early! Isn't that the story of my life! Evidently Kazzy popped out of a cupcake in a glittery number and a shower of confetti and sparkles. It's not a party in RhyDin until someone pops out of a cake!

Joey didn't remain on her own long after we left. Teagan showed up but the conversation is a little... lacking. It seems that Teagan just cares about the food and complaining that nobody is telling her that she's hot and Joey can't keep her eyes off of Kalamere who just showed up. Unfortunately for her, Kalamere can't keep his eyes off Yeardley's legs in that skirt she's wearing. You know what? We're actually starting to think that he might have the hots for her more than she has the hots for him.

Aw! Lucky showed up IN A KILT! And he was seen presenting Rekah with a gift. She was thrilled that he showed, of course. It's so not his type of event and his new wife wasn't there so it wasn't like he was forced to go. That man is such a sucker for the women in his life!

Rekah's Birthday Party - 10:04 pm

You just knew that Rekah's birthday party would bring out some faces you hadn't seen in a long while. The first it seems is Joey! In a mini dress (of course), Joey just strutted her way in! More surprisingly, she was there by herself! She never is without a date. And, of course, I had to show up to take the opportunity to escort her. Lovely!

She had questions about a certain HAWT duelist -- Kalamere -- and his new lady -- Yeardley.  I have a feeling that Joey might still have some feelings of her own for her former... well, we wouldn't call him her former 'boyfriend', maybe 'friend with benefits' might be more accurate?

Oh! And now I get to see Amthy's dress for myself! It's adorable! Purple with a flouncy skirt with poodles embroidered onto it. She's rummaging around in her cleavage.... and, oh, pulling out a gift. Iiiiinteresting. Really, who wouldn't want to stick their hand down there???

Rekah's Birthday Party - 9:33 pm

Rekah is too friggin' cute! The birthday girl is in a purple sparkly dress and a pink tiara. She seems to be having a great time already! She's bouncing around and greeting her guests. We hear that her boyfriend couldn't make it tonight. What a bummer. He did have a small party for her in the Outback the night before last, though. 

Hahaha! We die! If you're not at Rekah's birthday party, WHY THE HELL NOT??? Cooper is! And he's wearing a bath towel wrapped around his waist and cowboy boots. LOVE IT! Someone please for the love of God get us pictures! Ravie's there to keep an eye on him to make sure the ladies don't get too close. But, nevertheless, it's evidently a sight worth seeing!

If Cooper in a bath towel isn't enough for you, Harper and Yeardley are in school girl outfits! Sign us up for that school, baby! Harper's in the DJ booth spinning some great tunes and Yeardley's making sure Rekah's having a great time. Those two ladies are looking HAWT and neither of their men are anywhere in sight!

Gem! You read that right, folks! Gem is in the building. She just showed up in a hot form-fitting purple satin number. We hear that she's still a bit bruised up but is looking fabulous! So glad that she showed up! Also in attendance is the adorably pregnant Audrey in such a cute dress highlighting that perfect baby bump. Love her!

Of Dragon Skin Boots and Other Matters

Really, you've got to have balls of steel to not only date Rekah but to start meeting her friends. Like Taneth, she's the little sister that EVERYBODY looks out for. Her new guy -- a fae named Jasper -- has been making the rounds and meeting her friends. And he seems like a really, really nice guy! In fact, we're starting to get a little thrilled for her!

Rekah introduced Jasper to Ali and Fio as they were hanging out with their adorable son who was busy playing with spacemen until he passed out in his dad's lap. Ali and Fio make us so freaking sad! How did this happen? Our sources said that it was even depressing to watch. They both got along well and both seemed painfully depressed. After Fio and the toddler left, Ali (who we believe is currently living at the Inn) went about throwing back drinks. These two were so darn perfect together and those two kids need BOTH of their parents. We're glad that they seem to be getting along enough that they can spend time with their kids together but why couldn't they make it work??? This is one of those break-ups that make us want to cry.

Talk of Rekah's birthday party is heating up. It sounds like it'll be A FREAKING BLAST! It's being held on Leap Day -- Wednesday and the party starts at 8. The theme is NO PANTS! Love it! We will definitely be trying to sneak in some sources. Maybe even some live updating from the event. In fact, I am desperate to make an appearance. I HAVE to drop off my present in person!

Ali and Fio weren't the only gauntlet that Jasper had to face. He evidently got interrogated by Yeardley as well. Better be careful of the landscaper! She's sure built like she could take someone out with her shovel. Jasper is definitely an odd bird. We didn't quite hear the details but he's evidently got some sort of connection to Caedia which usually means trouble. It seems that it's hard for him to leave the Outback and that in doing so, he may put Rekah in danger. It seems his primary focus is keeping Rekah safe. Adorb!

Jasper got a much easier time of it from Taneth. Then again when does Taneth not love someone??? We hear that he showed her his wings and she was instantly hooked on the bright, pretty colors. 

Robyn and Colt seemed awfully chummy. We hear that the Granger and the Daniels have been seen quite a lot together recently. We told you that Colt and Tenacity had 'short term' written all over them! Don't let the cute blushes and girl next door looks fool you, though, Robyn doesn't seem to be the one man kind of girl either. We hear that she's been seen with a number of men! Kissing, discussing dates, hand holding. This girl must have quite the rolodex!

And another sad mention, Iona was overheard saying that she hadn't seen Jake in weeks. We really had high hopes for them. He really seemed into her and we're sure she could have used the support over the last couple of weeks given how close she is with Anya. Iona didn't seem to have much to say on the subject of Jake. We hope she's not heartbroken.

Icer and Aurthur were seen dancing in the Inn late into the night. Rumor has it that she's going to have ANOTHER batch of baby dragons. Good Lord! Isn't there dragon menopause? If she doesn't approach it soon she will single handedly cause dragons to be the racial majority in RhyDin! We're all for some sort of open dragon hunting season. What? You would turn down a pair of dragon skin boots? I think not!

Who was that cute short-haired teenage girl that was seen with Audrey the other night? Audrey does surround herself with some beautiful women but our sources couldn't name this one and the description doesn't ring any bells with us either. If you saw the two of them and know who she is, drop us a line here at the Den of Gossip and tell us EVERYTHING you know about her!

Valentine's Disco Ball - 11:49 pm

Ali showed. In cargo pants? And he thinks he's at Rekah's birthday party? WTF? I have to admit that I blame him for the break-up of his marriage. Fio and Ali? It was so perfect. UGH! But, actually, he's so out of it that we feel a bit bad for him. Has he totally become a social misfit without his wife at his side? Worse yet, is he hitting on Rekah? That's, like, breaking up with your wife so you can date your stepdaughter. Yuck!

Would someone please stop Jochin from dancing? He is going to put someone's eye out with all that hip thrusting. That is all.

Locke is dancing to 'It's Raining Men'. That's one sentence I never thought I'd write. Well.... Hallelujah!

We hear that Yeardley, Tenacity, and Harper are cutting a rug out on the dance floor. HOTNESS! Yeardley's even trying to con Kalamere out onto the dance floor. Now THAT would be a feat. But if anyone can do it, we think she can. He actually seems pretty taken with her!

The Ergin brothers are really scoring big! Bashir has stayed tight on Robyn since his eyes landed on her and we hear that Tumay scored himself a couple dances with Anya! Both of those guys have heavy doses of the dark and mysterious thing going on. We think the ladies are pretty smitten. Yay! We're so glad that two lovely ladies found dates.... even if the dates are of the dangerous playboy variety.

The Relationship Run-Down!

Sometimes even we here at the Den of Gossip can't keep up with RhyDin's notorious bed-hopping. We've been putting together this little cheat sheet on some new (and old) relationships and so, in the build-up to Valentine's Day, we thought we'd share it with you! Enjoy!

Kalamere and Yeardley :
Yeardley is evidently intent on destroying our theory that Kalamere had a Baroness fetish. He certainly was linked to his fair share of ring-wearing, butt-kicking women. That's not to say that Yeardley looks like a push over. She definitely has the spunk we expect from a woman that catches Kalamere's eye. While the choice is interesting, it's the level of interest that Kalamere has shown that surprises us the most. We know him best for taking one woman to a party but making it clear that he's open to taking other women home from that party. Lately, he doesn't seem to have eyes for any woman but Yeardley! We are shocked but it seems like one of RhyDin's most... well, gregarious playboys might just be off the market!

Locke and Katarina:
Just how long has RhyDin's Prima Ballerina been on the arm of the men's fashion designer, Locke? Well, longer than he's been one of RhyDin's favorite fashion designers! The first time they broke the society pages as a couple was September of 2008 when they stepped out to the Harvest Festival Ball together after each had just gotten out of pretty serious (but entirely wrong for them) relationships. Now almost three and a half years later the pair are finally wed! We were really hoping for a nice big wedding to attend but it seems the pair ran off and eloped just a couple weeks ago. Such a bummer! But considering her crazy family, it's probably understandable. We're thrilled for the happy couple!

Calix and Jackie:
What would RhyDin be without it's week long relationships that end with a drunken wedding? We'll blame it on Jackie's youth that she got caught up in the insanity so early on into her stay in RhyDin and we'll blame her hotness on the fact that Calix married a girl he hardly knew. Thankfully, while Calix seems anxious for babies, Jackie has put the halt on expanding the little family unit. Might be nice if they took some time to get to know each other after all. We doubt she holds out long. Married within a week, pregnant within six, and divorced within thirty. And a prop bet if the over/under on pregnancy and divorce doesn't interest you, we're putting the odds of a drunken fight leading to her punching him in the middle of the Inn by the end of the month at 3 to 1.

Colt and Tenacity:
Jackie's brother, Colt, has evidently sniffing up Tenacity's tree. We always hoped Tenacity would end up with a good, straight-laced guy. After all, she's just the sort of naughty that a straight-laced guy needs in his life. Unfortunately, that guy is NOT Colt Daniels. He's just as naughty -- if not more naughty -- than her! We hear he's got a reputation for having more than one pot on the stove, if you know what we're saying. But, then again, Tennie seems to be the sort of girl to have a guy in every (space)port. Although the pair seem to be a favorite among their friends, we don't bet these two have any staying power but it'll probably be hot and heavy while it lasts!

Jochin and Harper:
Yeah. Jochin and Harper. This is the sort of insanity that happens when we're not around to keep an eye out for the lovely ladies of RhyDin. Jochin??? He's the epitome of a RhyDin Bad Boy. All bad assery and no class. Harper, on the other hand, has a sharp wit and gorgeous good looks to accompany an incredibly intelligent mind. The only thing we can figure is that she took her break-up hard. And, for that, we feel for her something fierce. If Jochin warms up her nights a bit, more power to her. Our sources tell us that they started hooking up at the end of November so they're going on over two months which is about a month longer than we'd think he'd be able to keep her attention. We're just really hoping that she's not expecting to find her happily ever after with him. He is SOOOO not the happily ever after type!

Cooper and Ravie:
First of all, how great is the name Ravie? Ravishing Ravie, Rakish Ravie, Radical Ravie. Love it! Anyway, the beautiful elf has taken up company with the cowboy and things seem to haven gotten pretty serious pretty fast. Despite how inseparable the pair seem to be, they have been pretty adamant about taking things slowly. Rumor has it that he didn't even kiss her until halfway into their THIRD date! That's like INSANITY in this town. In this town there's like a 50% chance you get proposed to on your third date! We're not really sure if Ravishing Ravie really appreciates Cooper's slow approach. She's got a little bit of a wild side. I think if it was up to her, they'd already be knocking boots on a regular basis!

Geist and Half of RhyDin:
The female half, of course. If it's got two legs and looks good in a skirt, Geist seems to be chasing it. He's been in the company of several gorgeous women over the past couple of weeks. However, he seems to have fallen into a pretty steady pattern with the lovely dark haired beauty named Damra. There's been a couple intimate conversations and some stolen kisses in the moonlight. We hear that he was seen giving her a bracelet just the other night. No idea if this relationship has any staying power. Time will tell if Geist has really found a woman who can hold his attention or if another pretty brunette will come along to steal it away again!

Jake and Iona:
No, no. This isn't either the Cowboy Jake or the Orc Jake. This one goes by the name Jake Malone and he's a good looking guy in his mid-twenties. We don't know a whole heck of a lot about him other than the fact that he certainly has a thing for RhyDin's newest It Redhead -- Iona. Now we certainly can't blame him for having a thing for her! She is SMOKING HAWT and has an absolutely adorable personality to boot! This relationship seems to be in the very very early stages but her friends aren't making it easy for her to keep a man! We hear that poor Jake's been told in no uncertain terms what could happen if he doesn't treat Iona like a lady. That's enough to scare off any man! Jake's still sticking in there, though!

Eze and Gem:
Well, well, well, we go away for a while and Gem seems to have find herself a good guy. The pair started dating about fourteen months ago and have been going strong ever since. Eze is certainly a good looking guy and definitely seems to have a good head on his shoulders but don't think there isn't that naughtiness in this relationship that you've come to expect from Gem! She refers to their house as "the Den" which is short for the Den of Iniquity. We can only imagine what goes on behind closed doors! And you better believe we've spent some time fantasizing on THAT subject! Rumor has it that Eze is currently quite ill and Gem has been spending a lot of time at his bedside tending to him. We sure hope he gets well quickly!

....Certainly there's plenty more that we've missed and we have our interns working double time to process your tips and to sniff out the best gossip! No need to fret! We're back in business and busy at work!

RhyDin Fashion Week Kick-Off - 12:53 am

Whoa, whoa, whoa. We asked our source to repeat this a half dozen times but she is SURE that she spotted Yeardley arriving to the event on Kalamere's arm! WHAAAT??? Word is here at the Den of Gossip that despite my shock over the match-up, they've been seen quite a few times over the past week enjoying each other's company. We're not so sure this has any staying power. Kalamere's a bit of a notorious playboy and Yeardley's a bit too guarded for her own good but definitely interesting! Is it just me or is it even more delicious because they were arriving late???

And, we are soooo ashamed, we got word back pretty quickly that the reason Fio isn't with her husband is THAT SHE DOESN'T HAVE ONE! It seems that the first marriage I ever officiated has ended. So sad. Our source is telling us that it happened just over a month ago, right before Christmas. No details as to what broke them up.

The Governor certainly doesn't seem to be letting any of that get to her. We hear she's still out there rubbing elbows with her constituents! In fact, she was seen introducing Arts to Koy not too long ago. It seems that Arts is looking to spice up her wardrobe and we all know that's a task that Koy is all too willing to help out with!
