Moving forward.

It's all a little bittersweet after today's unpleasant news regarding All My Children and One Life to Live but an update is an update and perhaps there is some small comfort in knowing the stories can continue in some way no matter what.

Or I'm just talking out of my ass.

Anyway, back to Blair and her Mens.

Riverview was missing a few elements, mainly the salon where Blair would need to get the job that would propel her to her lifetime dream of becoming the uber fashion maven she wanted to be. After fiddling with the World Editor, I managed to put the salon into a crater. It was a compelling situation and I was curious as to how people would get there but decided to just wipe it out and try again. The second time was successful and I jumped back into the game.

Apparently, messing with the world gives Sims a disquieting sensation. The minute I went back into the Cramer Manse everyone jumped out of bed. Blair and Eli sprinted into the other bedroom and immediately got back into bed and went back to sleep. Tomas went to have something to eat and then he and Todd ran outside to have a brief chat before they went back to bed.

The next morning Todd headed off to work on another case and Blair went to the salon to get a job as a Stylist. As it happened, they intersected there. The guy Todd needed to interview for his case was one of the handful of people who had to check out the new business in town. With her new job, Blair now has the ability to 'Discuss Fashion.'

So she did.


(As always, click pictures to embiggen.)

While they were conveniently separated from the rest of the household and away from eyes that might be colored green by jealousy, Blair decided to get her flirt on. Their flirtations were successful but that's about it. Blair kept having to pee something fierce and she was also beginning to smell having neglected to shower that morning.


Still, it's a start.

Todd left to do other things... probably play tag and be inappropriate around people. Blair remained at the salon to drum up some clients for herself.


"How about a nice pair of pumps?"

This makeover was actually a success. However, her first official makeover was not so much. Blair's got to learn to chat up her clients first. Lesson learned, she's still new.

Meanwhile, Tomas painted.

Eli went to work at City Hall and constantly wanted to boost his charisma.

Blair came home and managed to drag Tomas away from his easel and go look at other people's easel work aka: the art museum. It was a canny way of getting some alone time without the other two guys around... in case they wanted to inconveniently come home while Blair was trying to score.

Once they were alone, Tomas kept trying to go to the bathroom. Damn you, toilet! You are always getting in between Blair and her conquests! Luckily, Tomas' need to make water wasn't critical so, once again, Blair turned on the Flirt-O-Meter.

Promising, no?

Bugs, Blair? Really?

Apparently so. Tomas digs the lovebug talk.

Success!!


CURSE YOU, TOILET! I SHALL BE AVENGED!!

Love how Todd's just hanging out by the door waiting for Blair to stop freaking the hell out over the appliances.

Tomas scored the first kiss and they became romantic interests. Yay! Then he went to the bathroom and they went home in separate cabs. What?


Tomas went straight to bed and Blair decided to use that time to put the moves on Elijah. The great thing for Eli is that a lot of interactions boost his charisma abilities so he got twice the, uh, pleasure. However, three rooms away in a deep sleep, Tomas sensed that his new crush was being untrue.


Blair! How could you?!

Well, it probably would have been more dramatic if Tomas had been able to get in there and cause a scene. As it was, he stood behind them awkwardly and thought mean thoughts. Most of them featured Blair's picture with a big X through it. "I X you out of my heart, you bitch!"

The confrontation fizzled.


And Tomas got his revenge by feeding Elijah his own teddy bear. Eli went to bed horrified, traumatized, and still burning to get with Blair. Alas, Tomas, your evil deeds towards beloved childhood toys did not get you the result you were looking for.

Todd came home with another best friend under his belt (is playing tag that freaking magical?!) but hungry, smelly and wearing his ANGRY face.

Tomas got into bed with his wanton woman and spooned. Apparently, he does not go to bed angry.
