I just got Lovestruck (late as hell to the party) and the SOUND I MADE when I found Sophie and Ulrike cuddling in bed!!!!!!
Which is kind of hilarious because that is absolutely not the biggest recent development in their lives ๐
Welcome, Lily <3
this house was commissioned from me and I immediately fell in love with this aesthetic! a village, a forest, a cozy place where grandchildren come to visit their grandmother... view the interior here!

Meet Sophie and Ulrike Ballard-Faust, my sweet little cherub potatoes whom I will absolutely never get over.
After a bit of a whirlwind romance, they had a small but beautiful wedding on the beach in Tartosa with their closest friends. (Neither of them has any (human) family beyond each other... for now.)
Ulrike has made great strides in her art career, turning out masterpiece after masterpiece, and Sophie is well on her way to becoming a master nectar-maker out of their ever-expanding home and garden in Chestnut Ridge.
They also have a mare named Willow, who was Sophie's horse before they got together and who now loves both of them dearly. Ulrike, wary for the longest time of actually riding a horse, finally went for a relaxed ride with Willow yesterday! (Sorry I didn't get pics of that!) It was good for both of them, and she's got a mind to do that more often.
And most excitingly, Sophie is expecting! They wanted to wait until they had their shit at least relatively together before bringing kids into the mix, and they're finally feeling like they've got the basics down. They found a donor and are expecting a healthy baby girl!
More on this little growing family to come--I love them so much it's obscene, and honestly find someone who looks at you the way Ulrike looks at Sophie!!--but I just wanted to briefly introduce them and dip my toe into posting my own Sims before I lost my nerve :)
Devon, accompanied by his campaign staff, appeared on David Letterman as part of his media strategy for the campaign. Maybe heโll do TikTokโs next.

๐๐. ๐ ย โ ๐๐ซ๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐ฌ โ ย | ย RIVA DORATA, TARTOSA, MAY 1998
While serious publications prepared to cover the most prestigious premieres, interpret the thoughtful commentary of illustrious casts, and divine the future of cinema from the awards race, most people would encounter the Tartosa International Film Festival in pop culture. Accordingly, executives at entertainment giants Day One and MondoVibe had an unprecedented idea. Stephany Fox was as ubiquitous in Simerican culture news as her Tartosan counterpart, Giannino Adimari. Putting them together on one screen had never occurred to anyone. It was a smart moveโan intercultural novelty, like the festival itself, that blended respective knowledge, style, and personas for a global audience. It was a lucrative move, too, with collaboration translating directly into cheap, constant, breathless coverage.
Entertainment, the spectacle and celebrity, piqued general interest more than the artistry. Everyday consumers may venture out to see a movie months laterโperhaps Captivated for horror fans or Into the Wild for romantics, although sexy, gritty, action-packed thrillers like The Last Con and The Phoenix invariably outsold them these daysโbut wouldnโt recall having seen them first in festival coverage. On daytime television or in grocery store aisles, what they noticed were the famous and beautiful people whose names they, somehow, already knew. They tuned in for salacious gossip about their personal lives, all torrid affairs with co-stars and spiraling substance abuse and workplace calamities swept under the foreign label of โcreative differences.โ Photographs of attractive faces and physiques, glamorous attire, and adoring crowds caught the eye. Cheeky headlines shouting half-truths held it long enough to ensure they glimpsed an advertisement or two. If they wouldnโt flip to page six or sit down for a full segment, they would at least pause with a wistful gaze to wish they, too, were arriving in sunny Tartosa.

TRANSCRIPT:
STEPHANY | Hello from Day One, live in Tartosa! Iโm Stephany Foxโ GIANNINO | โand Iโm Giannino Adimari, for MondoVibe! STEPHANY | Itโs the first day of Tartosaโs annual International Film Festival. Weโre at Riva Dorata this morning and, as you can see, a crowdโs already gathered on this beautiful overlook.
STEPHANY | The Tartosa Grand Hotel is well-known for its gorgeous views. The hotelโs signature speedboats ferry guests here from the mainland, meaning anyone can arrive in style, butโ GIANNINO | And, actually, the Tartosa Grand Hotel is impossible to get into this time of year. Why? Itโs reserved for the festivalโs most special guests: golden ticket holders, the invitees.
STEPHANY | Thatโs right. Every other hotel and inn in Riva Dorata is booked up, tooโitโs the people in this crowd, maybe with tickets to see the new films but most likely here to do some celebrity-spotting. This overlook is a go-to area for tourists and locals alike.
STEPHANY | Life in Riva Dorata is typically languid, relaxed, and quiet, but it comes alive in a new way for this springtime festival. GIANNINO | The locals are used to the fanfare and take pride in welcoming everyoneโnew faces from other places but also Tartosan artists here for a homecoming as well.
STEPHANY | Heโs here with composer Lee Thompson and up-and-coming actress, Sierra Moss. Moss co-stars in The Last Con, a classic dramatic thriller from Teresa Salame. Thompson scored Hudson Waverlyโs irreverent comedy, Trash Tease, also premiering this week.
GIANNINO | Which, oh, can I give my personal opinion, Stephany? STEPHANY | [Chuckles] I canโt stop youโ GIANNINO | Waverly is a genius, and maybe a comedy deserves to finally win the Golden Laurel this year. STEPHANY | Maybe. Thatโs for this yearโs jury to decide.
STEPHANY | The invite list has more than just industry people, though. While film folks are representing the โinternationalโ spirit of the festival, ambassadors in the form of bonafide royalty do it in a different way. GIANNINO | See, thereโs the Renaldis from nearby Saocossaint looking stylish and ready for some festival fun! STEPHANY | Vivica Haywood is over thereโa celebrity stylist, here as one of this yearโs โfriend of the panelโ guest.
STEPHANY | Armorican actress Anita Garcia is a panel guest as well. GIANNINO | Can you tell us what that means, Stephany? STEPHANY | Organizers, led by producer and festival president Sanja Dinapoli, as well as artistic director Bruno Raffaele Como, send two kinds of invites: to those screening films and to โfriends of the panel.โ People who will, as they say, โenhance the festival.โ
GIANNINO | There, Max Kyle and Lena Scott! They were on MondoVibeโs festival โones to watchโ list. Plus a spread in Vogue Simerica last month and a profile on Scott Group in Venture before that. STEPHANY | Kyleโs screening an important documentary. Itโs wonderful to see people who have such immense success in really powerful sectors put their energy toward, not just the arts, but social justice. GIANNINO | Ah, yes, true. Fashion is icing on the cake!
GIANNINO | Speaking of fashionable people: another princess! STEPHANY | Many countries are represented at the festival, some unofficially like with Princess Leonor of Uspana. Sheโs attending as a plus-one for an A-list invitee, Renzo Ledford. Heโs debuting two filmsโ GIANNINO | Maybe making up for time away building a family with the princess! MondoVibe covered that. Two movies, two babies! STEPHANY | How about that?
STEPHANY | The most esteemed arrival today is Queen Nicola of Corrilea, who has been a fixture of the global film industry for, well, six decades. Sheโs an active member of Corrileaโs royal family but also the boards of several festivals, including Tartosaโs.
GIANNINO | And cameras love her just as much now as they did before her retirement! A living legend. Maybe the fountain of youth isnโt just a myth after all, and sheโ
STEPHANY | Hereโs Yuling Zhao. Sheโs premiering a buzzy period drama. Having already established herself as a talented storyteller, itโ GIANNINO | Kiara Bello! Tartosan beauty. Why havenโt we seen her on screen lately? I blame the comedian, who many say isnโt even funnyโ STEPHANY | Maybe inspiring attendees, like Yuling Zhao, can get her back on screen soon. The festival is famous for networking.
GIANNINO | What comes after this parade, Stephany? STEPHANY | The board and jury meet while these stars settle in behind the hotelโs walls. Of course, we can assume many wonโt get much rest before the big opening dinner this evening. GIANNINO | Hair and makeup! If weโre lucky, we may glimpse some black tie outfits while theyโre filing into Palazzo Ofelia.
STEPHANY | Oh, look, Tylerโs starting her snap interviews soon. GIANNINO | Rae Donovan! Now, this is a big comeback year for her. STEPHANY | And, when we come back: over to you, Tyler.
good morning sunshine โ๏ธโจ
