:sign5: Guess you didn't expect this quite so soon... but hei..I had some free time, and this girl was already in my "to do" list. So here she is: Anne Boleyn was probably born in the year 1501 or 1502 in Bickling Hall in NorthfolkAnne grew up in France. She worked the household of Mary, Henry VIII's sister, who was married to Louis XII of France.Anne was a lady in waiting to Henry's wife, Queen Catherine of Aragon.Henry wanted Anne to be his mistress, but Anne refused. Anne told him she would be his wife, not his mistress. In 1527 Henry tried to get his marriage annulled so that he could marry Anne. In January of 1533 Henry and Anne were married in secret, she was crowned queen on June 1. On September 7, Anne gave birth to Princess Elizabeth. She had two other pregnancies but the children were either stillborn or she miscarried. By then Henry was interested in another woman Jane Seymour. She would become his third wife. On May 2, 1536, Anne was arrested and charged with incest, adultery, and plotting to murder the King. The charges were false. She was beheaded on May 19, 1536. A quote from the Venetian Ambassador said she was 'not one of the handsomest women in the world...'. She was considered moderately pretty. But, one must consider what 'pretty' was in the 16th century. Anne was the opposite of the pale, blonde-haired, blue-eyed image of beauty. She had dark, olive-colored skin, thick dark brown hair and dark brown eyes which often appeared black. Those large dark eyes were often singled out in descriptions of Anne. She clearly used them, and the fascination they aroused, to her advantage whenever possible. She was of average height, had small breasts and a long, elegant neck. After all this BIG history lesson (hope I got that all right) here are the meshes needed: Mesh Dress ballroomdance 301105 - Sims2_Fashion http://www.sim2-fashion.de/datenbank/include.php?path=content/download.php&contentid=610 Mesh Head Piece: Tiara Princess (Acessories) http://www.pronupsims.net/ Hope you like her !:grin: |

After a painting by Hans Holbein the Younger Jane Seymour was the third wive of Henry VII (1536-1537) She may have first come to court in the service of Queen Catherine, but then was moved to wait on Anne Boleyn as she rose in the King's favor and eventually became his second wife She died on October 24th, just two weeks after her son Edward was born. For her clothes you will need the mesh from Sims-2-Fashion http://www.sim2-fashion.de/datenbank/include.php?path=content/download.php&contentid=722 Unfortunately there was no possibility to make a convincing hat, due to the lack of mesh. So I’m sorry…the one on the pic is only a photoshop paste Anyway, I hope you like it! |

One more from the Paintings theme: The Blue Boy Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788) was one of the most famous portrait and landscape painters of 18th century Britain. The Blue Boy (c. 1770) is an oil painting by Thomas Gainsborough that now resides in the Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Perhaps Gainsborough's most famous work, it is thought to be a portrait of Jonathan Buttall, the son of a wealthy hardware merchant You will need the "boy pilgrim" mesh from All-About_Style http://www.all-about-style.com/themes_holiday.html Hope you like it and, as always, comments and suggestions are very welcomed :lol: |

Hi all As I said earlier, my son has been bravely fighting a cancer for these last few months, so I came out with the idea of the Warriors series, in honour of the millions of unknown warriors around the world. Next Tuesday he will undergo a major surgery. So I thought of making something that would embody all that everyone that is fighting a major illness, and all that love them, need in these moments: strength, joy, love and hope. To symbolise those feelings I chose two couples: Heracles (roman Hercules) and his wife Hebe, goddess of Youth and two Warrior Archangels. I hope you enjoy them. All comments, critics and suggestions are very welcomed.:love2: Heracles (Hercules) defender of mankind against chaos, the son of Zeus, the strongest and mightiest man that has ever lived, was one of the first of the Greek gods to be worshipped by the Romans. Heracles was driven mad by Hera and forced to murder his wife and children. In order to atone for his sin, he visited the oracle of Delphi and was instructed to submit to twelve labours. Heracles accomplished them all, and many others including the release of Prometheus from bondage. He is the defender of mankind against the forces of evil, the god of physical strength, courage and sexual power (both homo and heterosexual). He had many lovers and married 4 times, the last of which of Hebe (Juventas) the Goddess of Youth. He is usually depicted with a lion skin, from the lion of Nemeia, his first work.

All comments, critics and suggestions are very welcomed.:love2: Archangels: Archangels and angels in general are common to the three great monotheist religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Some scholars believe that this tradition of brought from Babylonian and are, therefore, of Zoroastrian origin. Although it is agreed that there were seven Archangels, there has been some debate on who the seven were. Most accounts name, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, the remaining three are generally chosen from Metatron, Remiel, Sariel, Anael, Raguel and Raziel. The Archangels were the divine messengers between the humans and God Technical details: Adult Male (am) - BodyBuilder Mesh: (Marvine) http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=17933
