#erosglossymasquerade

[v-stone-blog1]

Almost everyone was in costume, only a few people actually showed their faces, everywhere she looked there were masked faces and soft fabrics. Everything looked beautiful, and it would be perfect, would it not be for the smell. Every time she want to a party the smells got to her, it had been that way all her life. If the smells got too strong her stomach would roll, her head would spin and Veronica would get sick.

Needing a breather she made her out of the crowded ballroom and into the more quiet gardens. It was peaceful there, with only a few stranglers around, mostly couples sneaking into the cabanas, few people talking and  most importantly she could breath. Getting closer to the railing she leaned against it, taking a deep breath, and rubbed the bridge of her nose. It always gave her issues.

Closing her eyes Veronica just said there, enjoying the somewhat cool breeze on her skin. Completely oblivious to everything around her. That was until she heard a particularly loud noise next to her. Turning around with wide eyes she took the scene in front of her with mixed feelings.

It seems Los Angeles caught a serious case of the love bug this year. It almost makes me excited for what the rest of Valentine’s Day has in store. With all the breakups, makeups and hookups– even I have trouble keeping up with all the romance and lust that liters are little corner of Hollywood. However, I will try my best to keep you up to date with all the romance, lust and angsty encounters we have all witnessed lately.

Shall we begin with our most recent couple? Eli Hawthorne and Luca Haseotes weren’t shy to reveal their new relationship and on every corner of social media, that is. I think we get it by now. He stole our beautiful dancer away from Kai Owens– who, need I remind you all, is his ex-band mate? Ouch, that one has got to hurt. Even more so since they were seen rather close at a certain charity event recently. As for Luca, has’t she ever heard of the sacred bro-code? We can all say that we don’t know whether to be shocked in this situation or if we all expected her to move on so quickly and in the most scandalous way.

Also makes us wonder what our Ice Queen, Paula Young, thinks of the relationship? Last I heard, her and Eli haven’t even spoke since their breakup. She was also seen cozying up to Kai Owens on New Years and at our eventful heist stolen charity event. What is with these girls and their taste in the boys of Poet Eureka. Next thing we know one of them will be swept away on a horse in cowboy boots by the one member who left the stables for a simpler life. What do you think girls, is Gunner the next heartthrob to hog tie one of our vixens’ hearts?

Speaking of hearts, we are all concerned that our lovely Natalie Lake’s is about to be or is already broken. The worst of it is that it is all because of her husband Robbie Lake. Now, we don’t know what goes on in the Lake Mansion; all we know is that it doesn’t involve Robbie because our resident #DILF never seems to be home. Instead there are rumors of blondes– and lots of them too. Did he not learn the first time he left someone in the dust? I wonder if his ex-fiance called this one or not. I just can’t wait until the truth comes out and our lovely Mrs. Lake can find someone deserving of her.

Luckily, Robbie Lake isn’t the only one who knows how to play the field. Is that Ji Nee’s body guard I see locking lips and dipping his toes in the deep end with what seems like every girl in Los Angeles, including quite likely the designer herself? Come on, we all think Arkin Theriault is a good looker but how does his ex-flame, Nina Westbrook feel about seeing him with not one, not two, but three other women who all just so happen to be younger than her? I don’t know about you but if I saw my man kissing up on either Sofie McClean or Kitty Diaz, I might go into a jealous rampage. Then again, maybe she’s fucking out the frustration with Kai Owens again - she was seen entering his house recently after a tense moment at our last party. 

We’ve all got our eyes on Bryce Brooks, wondering who our heart-throb homewrecker had with him before, and who he has with him now. Romance seems to be a tricky web for the Brooks Twins, but now that all of our leads have come up short, we wonder if we will ever get closure? In the meantime, Reese Dowling and Kitty have been getting closer, if you believe the rumors. Could this be the next couple we never knew we needed, or is it a clue to the drama that was recorded? 

Since we’re talking about couples we need - Channing Rinaldi is back in town! Seems like Xavier Lachapelle wasn’t ready to receive him, but that shouldn’t be a problem to the wave of admirers both of these stars seem to gather with those gorgeous smiles. Make-up or break-up, love birds! Someone else wants a turn, I’m sure. 

Our eyes are particularly drawn to a few of the more flirtatious faces around L.A. We’re all eager to try and stay up to date with the romantic trysts of Gabe Ingraham, Jett Larson (are they still not a couple to root for? Oh, well, we ship it!), and Jesse Andrews. In a room full of love, what new names may come to light in the twisted spider-web of overlapping romance and seduction? All we can say is we’re still dying for Ross Harwell and Jake Ryleigh to make their love official. 

Ta-ta for now!

CASPIAN as perseophone + INDIANA DRAKE as hades

“i’m just letting you know now that you’re only hades because you’re the only person deranged enough to try and kidnap me with your undying love for me. also i’m pretty sure your closet is a portal to the underworld.” 

“you literally come here willingly.” 

“and all of your shit in the way of the exit keeps me from leaving for six months!”

Paula Young as Phobos

The god of panic, flight and rout, Paula came to the masquerade wanting to go unnoticed while still finding a way to be herself. Phobos resembles much of who she is on the inside-- the Paula no one knows. With a specially made mask, skeleton accents on both hands and a short wig plus dramatic makeup beneath her mask, she walks through the masquerade with her head held high and dress following behind. Everyone knew she had a dark side, but was this what anyone expected? Too bad no one knows who the woman is, leaving a chill behind in her wake and watching from corners of the room.

                                                   HEBE: goddess of youth.

    the power to give eternal youth; the figure of youth. (           she sees herself as a figure of youth. everyone doesn’t take her seriously due to her age or she is confined to roles due to her age or she is worried about due to her age — ophelia feels as if her age is unescapable, as if she is always going to be boxed in as ‘a child star’ with no room to grow. when researching goddesses she found herself drawn to hebe — not because of her helpful qualities — but because of her title as the goddess of youth. ophelia thought she may as well use her youthful status for the event, turning what she sees as a negative into a beautiful costume. hebe is often characterised as wearing a white flowing dress, flowers in her hair and with a gold cup in hand. ophelia took the concept and asked her stylist to design something even more youthful — opting for a white dress made from tulle that evokes the feeling of youth through the childish play of the fabric and the illusion it creates of being a ballerina dress. the sheerness of the dress is a nod to ophelia’s growing maturity and the fact that hebe was often depicted with one half of her dress falling down, exposing a breast. she paired the dress with a dainty silver heel with a bow, feeling as if she is a child again playing dress up. her hair is styled in soft blonde waves, scattered flowers woven through down the back and a feather headpiece. her makeup is soft and subtle, translucent. her mask is dainty, completely covered in lace and then tied up with a ribbon. to honour it being valentine’s day ophelia has painted her nails a blood red. on her wrist she has tied on a scarlet ribbon and attached a piece of paper with ‘hebe - goddess of youth’ scrawled onto it; if anyone wants to know who she is, all they need to do is look at the piece of paper.       )

Pheme, also known as Ossa,  was a tremendous gossip, she was said to have pried into the affairs of mortals and gods, then repeated what she learned, starting off at first with just a dull whisper, but repeating it louder each time, until everyone knew. In art, she was usually depicted with wings and a trumpet.

“Don’t look so shocked, my little sister was upset I didn’t walk the red carpet last time. I’m only doing this so she’ll stop doing my head in.”

ANNOUNCING…

THE FIRST EROS VALENTINES MASQUERADE

It’s our favorite time of year again and because without all of you there wouldn’t be an us, so consider this your personal invitation to the L.A Informants first annual Eros Valentines Masquerade! Honestly, we think you deserve it after the Blue Moon Festival debacle that’s left us all in dire need of a little R&R. For one night only, you’ll all be living like the Greek Gods and Goddesses of our favorite myths, and don’t worry... we’ve thought of everything!

The venue is a lavish hotel where you’ll arrive at a red carpet that ends as you enter the ballroom, where you’ll be able to dance the night away with your sweetheart. If you’re feeling a little lonely this lovers season, stop by our bar for a taste of Olympus with some sweet ambrosia paired with our signature peachy cocktail; love potion number 9. If savory is more your style, don’t worry we thought of you and our menu will include a variety of top-shelf drinks and an extensive dinner selection designed to evoke the most passionate feelings of desire.

Now, you know there is a catch or two. One, there is no VIP, tonight everyone on our guest list will be treated like a God or Goddess. We are all equals here together. As for the second, it’s just a little more severe to the usual reminder that the informant will be watching. During this event you won’t know who is working for the informant, so be on your best behavior, or don’t.... we’ll all be wearing masks anyway. Do you trust your friends to not become foes?

AREA 1: THE COURTYARD

You’ll leave the red carpet and enter the courtyard surrounded by Pear blossom trees, tranquil ponds, and lush gardens fit for the Goddess Persephone.  Servers will greet the guest with roses and coconut water refreshments. The courtyard will act like the pearly gates welcoming you to Mount Olympus. You are free to explore the tranquil gardens where several private massage tents will be set up for single or couple massages for all of our guest.

AREA 2: THE HUNTINGTON BALLROOM

Once you exit the courtyard rose petal paths will guide you to the Huntington Ballroom where the room is a paradise to your senses. Large golden ceilings with marble accents set the mood for a lush paradise fitting for any God or Goddess. Greeted by eloquent cupids; you’ll receive your gift bag full of exclusive gifts ranging from the luxurious to the intimate.

After receiving your gift bags feel free to find a table where you’ll be served from a menu built to tantalize and inspire your mood. A band will be performing all night setting the perfect atmosphere for intimate dancing and if you’re in need for a little liquid courage stop by the open bar where the nectar of the Gods will be available to you all night.

The ballroom is the perfect setting for dancing, drinking and indulging in light romance, but if you’re looking for more the best is yet to come. No need to flash a key, because the horseshoe garden will be open for all.

AREA 3: THE HORSESHOE GARDEN

You’ll enter the horseshoe garden from the ballroom where you’ll ascend a grand staircase into your very own Mount Olympus. The lush garden overlooks the San Marino valley, and the landscape will have been designed exclusively for our Masquerade event. Here you’ll be free to explore the grounds in horse-drawn carriages, or if you’re in the mood for intimate art commissioned by the local artist. You can enter our updated tunnel of love; an enclosed, ambient walk through the stages of love and the intimacy that blooms with love, or more often than not, lust.

The garden will be equipped with a dance floor for those who wish to dance; a bar will be at your disposal to wash down the ambrosia that will be served on golden platters to all who wish to partake.  For those looking for a little more privacy, there will be private cabanas available for relaxation and privacy where you can have drinks delivered directly to your cabana. This can, of course, include more devious uses. However, you won’t know which tents have surveillance cameras... so choose wisely. Not all you do may be kept secret.

And lastly, you social butterflies we provided a professional photo booth so you’ll remember the night for years to come! Hammocks and cushions in the gardens surrounding hooka bars packed with the sweets are available in every level of the garden. We have thought of every luxury one could desire, every vice and we’ve included it in our masquerade in one way or another.

Just don’t forget... we are always watching you.

This will serve as the activity check for the week.
