Lol...shamrocks. ;)  I just woke up and haven't even made coffee yet, but I really can't remember when the last Catch 50 was.  Wasn't it...well, before...yeah, I can't think of when the last one was.  Does anyone else remember? :)

Took me a second (I guess I could use some of your coffee :P), but I finally remembered!  The last Catch 50 was for the red & gold Christmas dress... I found a picture on the Blog:



Looking through the Blog also jostled this memory (where's that coffee?) of the last Puzzle, for the New Year's dress... not many of my dollz got that one:



I used to do the Symbol Hunts for all my dollz, but it takes me twice as long since they installed the Facebook navigation bar at the top of the page (at least, that's what I correlate the increased time to... might be coincidence).  The puzzles are tedious... especially since, when you accidentally miss a necessary piece, it might be hours before you find it again!  I have to really want the dress to do the Puzzles.

What I really have enjoyed are the Pinatas... which are more about getting out & about, visiting other diva's pages, and forge a festive sense of cooperation & community ^.^ The Pinatas are less about you, going it alone... and more dependent on partnership with other players.  I also loved the "reverse" approach with the "Trick or Treating" trunks ^.^ The surprise element of the random candy count was fun... and it was up to you to decide how much time you wanted to invest, how far you wanted to go, what gifts you wanted to collect... which is nice if you have trouble "networking" (which is a complaint some people have about the Pinatas).  I know of one player who earned the largest trunk with the castle window and chaise lounge SIX times... that's a LOT of candy (LOL)!

And what happened to those "catch 50 things" for a holiday something or other.  Give me some shamrocks dog gonnit!!!!!

I'm with sierradane... I was really hoping for a Valentine's Day activity, so hopefully we'll see one soon!

Anyhow, not quite about the current Cinema quest... but certainly about other "quest" activities... and willowskye did ask (~.*)

It's amazing what can be done with all that STUFF in the attic.  A prime example is Lilysummers.  Look at her garage, I believe is the room, and be prepared to be totally AWED.  It makes you think things like: Hey, I can now turn that ugly bed to do that.

And as another doll (her name escapes me at the moment) pointed out, a lot of the items look a lot like items from previous Adventures with a slight modification. 

Oh yes... The Event.... *sighs* 

Those definitely "were the days" when you got more DB bang for your FEEZ/buck.  Seems like for every $10 you spent, that got you around 1000 DB?  Am I dreaming?  N0regrets... you probably remember that a lot better than I do.

I agree with you all. Now that I look at the adventure more closely it resembles some of the older flirts, and such. If I can remember before the "event" we had a flirt where we got a band called OMDs or something like that.
  And it does seem that quests are getting more and more expensive. I really, really dislike how in order to be able to actually do quests completely we need to buy fee'z. At least before the "event" we had a chance of doing adventures without having to beg parents to buy fee'z that are ridiculously high prices for little amonts of them. 150 fee'z for only 30$? ugh. (Not to mention them always putting more things in shops so it's harder to save money.)
  But I am starting to lose my patience with this game. The "event" crushed me, and I thought that maybe this site would be better... *shrugs*

Am I frustrated with the frequency/cost of adventures.  Yes
Am I frustrated enough to stop playing...at this point, no.  I have far to much invested now (both in time, money and the friends I've made.) Lol

That being said, I was coming to share something I just noticed about the Retro Level.  I'm currently watching my local morning news show and they were talking about The Oscars (Academy Awards.)  A clip from the new silent, black and white movie "The Artist" came on, and...one of the ladies was wearing the exact same black and silver dress we get from the last level (that gets us the Retro Room.)  Now I know where they got the inpiraration for the Retro level.  (They also showed a female character wearing the dress we have to buy in that level.)

Just an interesting fact about the Retro Level I thought I'd share.  Now I really want to watch "The Artist!" Lol

I just realized another great thing about the Retro Room...all those thousands of adventure wigs I have (that are not in my doll's hair colour) can now be worn in the Retro room...and no one will know it's not really my doll's hair colour! Yay!  There are many wigs I've liked, but have never used because they're not in the right colour.  (Can you tell I'm falling more and more in love with the Retro room every day? Lol)

Oh please let there not be an adventure for each week cause I wont be able to take it.

I finish the whole adventure and I used my phone's money that should hold the whole week but the thing is they sprung this adventure on us to soon. They could have left this for the first adventure of March. Then everyone would have had time to save up and not have problems.
