Those in italics have five or more pieces of usable visual, written, or audio propaganda already. If you have any visuals like photos or videos, or if you have something to say in words, submit it to this blog before round one begins on June 25th!

If you don't see a name you submitted here, it's because most or all of their career was as a child/they were too young for the cutoff, their career was almost entirely after 1979, or music was something they only dabbled in and are hardly known for. There are quite a few ladies on the list whose primary career wasn't "recording artist" or "live musician," but released several albums or were in musical theater, so they've been accepted.

So by now, most Feldman parties happen at Angie’s house pretty much 😂😄 also I took so many random pics of Luke and Chelsea flirting, Maya spending time with her family, Luna and Yaritza being happy and goofing around with their cousins and just fun, chaotic and random stuff

Almost every Feldman was over at Olivia and Angie’s house to see Imran age up and to just hang out as a family. Kaitlyn and Maya loved seeing their nieces and nephews and Abby was happy to see her sons Vincent (who’s leaning more towards staying a human sim) and Noah (who wants to be a vampire like his dad Caleb). Plus Luna and Yaritza were super excited to see their cousins 

[purplesimmer455]

Harry threw a Spooky Day party and Kaitlyn and Maya dressed up as Lia and Penny (from my Stardew Valley game) while Luna was a pirate, Yaritza was a Winterfest tree and Abby was Llamawoman 😄😊 

[purplesimmer455]

Harry invited the Feldman/Chens over for Happy Bunny Day and while Kaitlyn was on the computer and Abby and Luna were talking to Harry’s son, Quinn, Maya hung out with Harry and chatted with him about their respective families

Harry: Luna is such an adorable kid, Maya. She goes after Kaitlyn but she has your amazing eyes

Maya: Aw thanks, she is such a cutie, right? And so is your son, Quinn. So, how are your mom and dad?

Harry: Oh (He pauses) Well, when I was 19 I found out that my dad was cheating on my mom with his 23 year old yoga instructor (seeing Maya’s raised brows) I know, right? Anyways mom divorced him and now dad is living with Diana and acting like he’s some hip cool younger guy and not even really acknowledging that he cheated (he grimaces) 

Maya: Oh my god, Harry, I’m so sorry

Harry: it’s alright, thanks Maya. I just feel bad for my younger brother Alex. He idolized dad and the cheating and divorce hit him hard (Maya bites her lip and nods sympathetically) Anyways enough about my life, what’s going on with you? 

[purplesimmer455]

Kaitlyn finally had a fan meet-and-greet at San Myshuno’s Star Gazer lounge 😊✨

[purplesimmer455]

Part 2 of the dinner party at Angie’s house: the original caterer didn’t show up so Abby’s ex husband Caleb showed up instead. Also Luke and Chelsea were super flirty and so were Maya and Kaitlyn. And oh yeah, each person was doing their own thing, and by the time the party ended, Maya, her sisters, her sis in law Chelsea, Kaitlyn, Luna and Caleb were all chatting and sitting around the kitchen island 😄

[purplesimmer455]

Toddler playdate at Del Sol Valley’s park (I replaced the empty lot with a cute park I found on the gallery) Maya, Kaitlyn and Abby also had fun splashing around in the sprinkler 😄⛲

[purplesimmer455]

Sadly, Maya’s cousin Lola’s husband passed away and it was pretty hard on the family, especially for his son (Lola’s stepson Dustin) and Lola herself 🙁. Maya and Luna witnessed the death as well and were also pretty sad but luckily Kaitlyn was there for the both of them afterwards (Kaitlyn’s so sweet) 

[purplesimmer455]

Who says the gym is just for exercising? Definitely not the Feldmans 😄😁 (also how cute is Maya’s new pink athletic wear top? it’s by @hezzasims)
