Pinned
Hopefully, this is the final Iggleverse attempt, final as in, I won't just randomly reset it. This is of course the pinned post so if you are just jumping in this is the post you will want to resort to!
Song of ALL TIME!!!!
- mwehehehehehehehehehe
- I needed time to refocus, tomorrow I will reply to ALL of the comments!
- Thank you everyone who has supported me as well! As for the name drama thing I'll be moving on but I will put a link to the post I've made to Aurel's introduction post for future reference and the next time he appears in a post. Just want to make sure all my mutuals hear the truth of it all.

I make it home a little late and of course I must tell Hugo about the photoshoot.
Hugo: You look amazing in that outfit, I am sure you will jump off the page.
Marisol: Of course I will! Maris- I mean, I always stand out! Beauty, class, grace, ele-
Hugo laughs: Ok ok, I get it! Have you ever wanted to be a model growing up?
Marisol: No, I have not really thought about it. It seems like a career with a very short shelf life, beauty can be very fleeting after all.
Hugo disagrees with a firm shake of his head.
Hugo: I have a feeling that you'll still be as beautiful to me as you are now when we are both old and wrinkled. Beauty does come in many forms after all.
Hmmm, perhaps he is right, only time will tell, I do love that he's already thinking years in advance.

And so I do a bit of posing, nothing fancy, and I can't wait to see the finished version of it and how it might appear to the world!

Week 3 ~ The Perfect Canvas ~ Wednesday
Marta: Aren't you stunning! Ok, ok, let me explain how this will go...
She tells me that the idea for the shoot is a Selva inspired article about the culture and fashion and such of La Ciudad and while I am not the main subject my picture will appear in the magazine. It is nothing big, it is nothing major, but I'll have a blurb in it as a 'local artist' and so I don't consider it nothing at all. More people will know about me when it releases than before and that is what matters. Baby steps, BABY STEPS!
Marta: So it's simple, you'll just stand there and do a few plain poses. I'll snap a few pictures, and that will be the end of it.
Marisol: I think I can do that!
Marta: I think so too, looks like you're made for it, honestly. I wouldn't be surprised if you get even more work after this.
Marisol: It is possible but a blank canvas will always remain my passion.
Marta: Who knows, maybe you can do both?
Hmm, she has a point, Marisol could do both, couldn't she? The world of fashion might even need Marisol, for a rental, at least. It could be something to think about.

Me and Isabela go our separate ways because I'm sure she's a busy woman and so am I! I head to La Casa Azul, the famed restaurant here that will always hold a special place in my heart since I've met Hugo here. Well, I sure hope it does, I do imagine my future with him is happy and lasting.
So! Today I meet my photographer, a woman by the name of Marta Torrez.

Week 3 ~ The Perfect Canvas ~ Wednesday
So its time for a little self treatment! I know I can use it because I can't have my picture taken while my nails are all plain and lame and I can only imagine that Isabela needs all the self care in the world being pregnant and all. So, SPA DAY!!! Can't be too long because I must get changed and meet my photographer soon too!

Week 3 ~ The Perfect Canvas ~ Wednesday
Like I mentioned, I will be having my picture taken today but before I get to that I've decided to get a bit of self care and Isabela wanted to tag along which I'm more than happy to let her!
Marisol: Hola Amiga, how are you doing?
Isabela: Umm, good and all, life is just changing, big big changes!
Marisol: Tell me about it! I've moved in with my boyfriend!
She looks a little confused and I suppose she should be since she doesn't really know Hugo all that well but eventually she does congratulate me.
Isabela: I hope that goes well but I have something going on as well that is also, umm, well...I'm pregnant!
Marisol: Oh, oh! Congrats! Well, that is much bigger news than moving out!
I do remember she said they were trying so that is really great news! She is right, life sure is moving us along quickly! What is that phrase? Life comes at you fast?

But as I mentioned Hugo has to go out to work today and so I cannot hog him, unfortunately. I couldn't if I wanted to because my schedule is also full but before we get to that I must do some research for my next freelance art project.

Week 3 ~ The Perfect Canvas ~ Wednesday
After I finish cooking breakfast it was nice of Hugo to come out, showered and dressed, to join me. I suppose he has to go to work soon, he's a manager at a tech company? I should probably learn more about that, but it's nice to just you know wake up and be able to spend time with him? That's the beauty of living with with your guy I suppose!
Hugo: So, how are you liking the place? Regret it yet?
Marisol: I love it! Not as colorful as my last place but that can certainly change
Hugo laughs: Definitely not as colorful but I trust your eye when it comes to that.
Marisol: You better! I'm an artist after all and mixing and matching colors is kind of my thing!
Hmm, I won't over do it on the colors, at least not in the main area? I think this place already has a vibe to it and I will just lean into that. It's not a bachelorette pad anymore and its not just all for me so I do think most of the house should be a lot more neutral? Hmmm...

I am still getting used to the new place as well because the living room you see behind me will be changing. Not sure how I'll decorate it but I'll be moving some things around or buying new furniture or...
As for the kitchen, it came completed! I'm not sure if I'll keep these colors or if I'll change the whole thing entirely but I don't think Hugo is fond of the pink? Actually, I'm not sure! Haven't talked to him about it!

A big day for Marisol as it will finally be my photoshoot day! I would not expect much, just a picture or two and nothing risqué! Marisol is the modest type after all!

The Name Game...
Now, before the regularly scheduled legacy posts hit the dashboard today I feel I must address something, normally I would ignore it. I've been here a decade, when have I been in any drama? Normally I would have just messaged this person, because again, I really don't care to do drama or anything like that, but I discovered it because of a reply I had read on one of my posts by a shared mutual. I thought it was funny and since they tagged the person, I wanted to go to their blog and see it for myself but I could not.
Odd, I can hover over the @ but couldn't go to the blog, it says it doesn't exist. I'm blocked I figure. Maybe it should have ended there and it would have been a shame if it had because I would not have seen the post claiming that I did things I did not do. I'll put the rest under a read more as I do love to type.
But this post just comes as a defense since in that post we have a lot of shared mutuals (its a small world!) and I do not want them to think that I stole a name or character from you and then that I deleted your post. Explanation below.
