THE MAJORITY REPORT: MARCH 10TH, 2017

THE MAJORITY REPORT: MARCH 10TH, 2017
Beware the Ides of March! That day is coming up, and with the sudden imPlosion of guilt and regret, you can't tell what someone under duress is bound to do to you just to clean their own soul.

WHAT IS TREND CANNOT DIE
As seen in high fashion magazines, seen on TMI and imPort! Entertainment:
The world of American fashion has turned its eyes to Florida-based design house, House of De Marq, upon announcing a new design label STORMBORN X MARQ in collaboration with imPort, Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen. "We are very excited and honored to be working creatively with Queen Daenerys," was reported in the House of De Marq's official press release this morning. "We shall navigate the liminal spaces of unreality through fashion, and seek inspiration beyond the parameters of the mundane. We shall create a storm of fantasy and fabulousity." Notoriously elusive head designer De Marq, who could not be reached for further comment, has taken to Bwitter, posting blurry images of model fittings, landscapes, and obscure selfies with the hashtags such as #EYEOFTHESTORM, #FASHIONANDBLOOD, #UNBURNTUNTAMED.

The label will contain high end evening wear and jewelry, along with ready-to-wear fashion for professional women, inspired by De Marq's Westerosi muse.

Daenerys, most noted for her social media presence and fashion commentary in imPort entertainment, spoke enthusiastically for the label's future. "There will be a launch announced later this month, I believe, previewing collections to come. Proceeds will go towards Through The Glass, a nonprofit organisation that provides low-income women with professional attire and other career advancement services. Donations towards such a noble endeavour are most welcome."

EAT THE WOO'D
As seen on TMI, THEMport Weekly, and imTV:
Sources are reporting that long-time imPort couple Frederick Chilton and Raina are engaged. Post-Valentine's pictures of Raina reveal her wearing what is definitely a diamond ring. After nearly two years of waiting, fans of the couple can only speculate how truly romantic the proposal was.

"Chilton's had years now to plan it out. I bet he serenaded her with a song written by Rincewind. Because Rincewind's like a bard or something, isn't he? Like, a really sad bard?" One such fan wrote on Bwitter. Others responded that in fact Rincewind was flutist.

And while the fan response to this news was overwhelmingly positive and supportive of the couple, there were a few outcries from disappointed Marchill and Raintess fans. It's no secret the two couples are close, and during the rocky period, Raina was reportedly staying at the Hotel Castile. This led fans to draw their own (often lascivious) conclusions. Both pairings have a small, but highly devoted fanbase.

But no matter which ship you sail, one thing can be certain. Raina has changed her FaceLook status from 'It's Complicated' to 'In a loving relationship.' And we certainly wish Raina and Frederick Chilton all the best. Perhaps we will end 2017 with yet another imPort wedding!

HEARTS AND RECREATION
As seen in entertainment news magazines:
MULTIVERSAL PICTURES' first movie based on imPorts, THE WORLD IS ENOUGH, which revolves around the romantic story of married imPorts April Ludgate and Will Graham, held a stern lead at the box office for the first two weeks of its release. Critics are torn, some reporting it's good popcorn-eating fun, others calling it "too focused on the romance, not enough using super cool powers."

The usage of animals in this film has caused minor controversy as well, surprising no one. FORTY SHADES OF OCHER, the highly anticipated sequel to THIRTY HUES OF BLOOD ORANGE proved the only other movie audiences cared to see enough to knock it down to second. It's now performing in third, just below FUNIONS, the kid's film about Funyuns who function in a minion-like role.
Due to this success, MULTIVERSAL PICTURES has announced they are looking into more imPorts with stories worth putting on screen, and there has been talk of adapting events and imPort tales for the small screen as well. Keep an eye out!

THE RED SETTING
As seen in local news:
It's here, it's there, it's everywhere: "bElish". That's the name you will see scrawled across the roads and sidewalks of Maurtia Falls, spray-painted in vibrant maroon and brick hues. Looks like there's a new vandal in town, and he (or she) is going to paint the town red. Is this an homage to Ambassador Baelish? A challenge? Is there a deeper meaning?

WEATHER OR NOT
As seen on the Weather Channel:
Hold onto your hats, De Chima! On Saturday, March 11th you were be witness to a totally bizarre tornado just outside the city limits. This has literally never happened before in recorded history.

CODE SWITCH
The Homeland Security Advisory System has moved from MAROON to GLITTER because Mabel Pines would have wanted it that way.

wizzardly: But I can't. (I'd like to say it's been great fun)

I've not the first idea.

Are we entirely opposed to locking him in a closet until it's over?

A desire you share with many other imPorts, I can assure you. I have often said that the government could easily resolve our issues with the Porter simply by letting our experts research it.

[And access that will not be granted may yet be taken.]

I will say this, however: a commodity does not have as much influence over its own destiny as we do. We have a certain freedom to act, and the power to make our wishes a reality. If we are willing to use it.

I have no doubt they would be willing to do so, if they are approached in the right way. As this report shows, the two of you both have significant fanbases. Your union is an event worthy of recognition.

[Totally taking that hint, right there.]
slightlyoffchilt: (Didactic.)

I know, right? It always is. You gonna write a song for Raina and Chilts?

[personal profile] doctopussy 2017-03-15 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
If that's the case, then I'll have to be patient and see who among us reaches that point first.

[ Which is to say, he's fascinated by the scenario but has no particular urge to solve it himself (he's backseat geniusing) -- however, he is definitely using it as a way to analyze the imports; how will they react? Who should he watch out for? ]
doctopussy: (join me and together we can rule)

[personal profile] doctopussy 2017-03-15 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Therefore, I am assuming they wish to do no such thing, which is as unsurprising as it is idiotic.

Of course. I'm merely speaking of their perspective and approach, with the full understanding that I for one am not willing to leave my destiny in the hands of incompetent bureaucrats and the shallow public.

S'long as you keep doing good work, I don't mind, doc. And don't mind Len, he likes being a bit cold.

Well! I'm relieved with your stamp of approval, Mick.
wizzardly: (I can do a lot with a few seconds.)

[personal profile] wizzardly 2017-03-16 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a convenient thing to say to someone to get them to do free work for you.
wizzardly: (Size matters. Of course size matters!)

We could decorate the closet. With... flowers?

Apparently not the rags you read. Tell me, what paper was he featured in?

Gotta be honest, I ain't sure. It's not really my genre.

I got him a few though, so I'm hoping he's enjoyed them. Not sure how to judge quality with those things. Seems to be a the worse - the better deal.

Drinking songs can be good. Kind of... I mean they're not really appropriate for weddings.

You sound like a teenager who just discovered The Beatles.
wizzardly: Just consider it? Just for a moment? (I don't suppose you'd just let me go?)

[personal profile] wizzardly 2017-03-17 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
You say that, but then you get so upset whenever I use your shampoo.

Let's just let him hire a band then, in that case.
