My goal for tonight is to get all caught up on the site's regular features. First up, the calendar! Thanks to Annarwaya, we have a beautiful September calendar featuring Leia. And although I missed out on August, I wanted to post the gorgeous calendar that Siyara made. Beautiful job, Siyara, and sorry I wasn't able to post it in a more timely fashion!

Next up is the poll! The new one is to your right... Since this site tends to attract more prequel fans (I think) I'm interested to see how these results turn out since normally I would be sure the Original Trilogy would be the favorite. We'll see! And here are the results for the last poll:

What do you think of Queen Amidala's distinctive make-up? [362 votes total]
It's gorgeous and just perfect for the character! (155) 43%
It's so unique and cool! (121) 33%
I like it. (33) 9%
I've never really liked it. (35) 10%
Eww, it makes her look ugly! (9) 2%
I do my make-up like that all the time. (9) 2%

This is the first time in a long while that the winner happens to be my choice too. I love everything about Amidala's costumes...

Also tonight, I would like to welcome Marie Therese and her beautiful new site Born of Starlight as my newest affiliate. This site has a lot of promise so be sure to check it out!

Lastly, the wonderful Tinnie who ran SWFFAQ's fanlisting has had to close it unfortunately. However, she is open to letting someone else adopt it, so if you're interested get in touch with Tinnie at eleniel [ @ ] gmail.com. Okay, I think I'm caught up now! I still need to do fan art, but that's a big project I'm not going to tackle till the weekend. So instead, I will have a new character on Friday! And for all you fangirls asking, it's not Anakin! Not yet at least! ; )

Hello!! I know it has been such a long time, and for that I heartily apologize. In fact, I hope there are still people out there reading this! As some of you speculated in the comments, real life was keeping me insanely busy the past month. As you may remember, I graduated from college this past spring. Last month I got two part time jobs and right now I'm in the middle of applying for a few full-time jobs. Plus I did take a bunch of short weekend trips. So it was a busy summer for me and I hope you all had a great time too!

Again I would like to apologize for the hiatus - it was never my intention to go that long without updating. And fear not, even if real life does that to me again at some point, I won't ever give up on this website. I've spent way too much time on it to ever just let it die!

And while I don't have anything prepared for tonight (I more just wanted to post quickly and let you all know I was still alive!) here are some links about some new Padme stuff coming out soon. Thanks to Ben!

12" Snow Bunny Padme - I honestly think this looks kinda creepy, but they haven't made any 12" Padmes in a while, so it's neat that they are making some again!

Dinner Gown action figure - This one I think looks awesome. They even got the hair right!

Alright, I will be back soon this time, I promise! I have new characters, new pictures, new puzzles, and new fan art to ad and even a contest that I'm really excited about! Thanks to everyone for understanding about how real life can get!
