Hey everyone, I’m back
And we have a new layout. It was actually up on Saturday, but then I got sick and haven’t had the time to change all the elements from the old layout, like the category images and such. I will try to finish that tonight when I get home from work and I’ll try make an update in the gallery as well.
I hope you like the layout

I’m so sorry but there won’t be any updates for a while, because my internet connection at home is in some mess. I don’t know what’s wrong or when it’ll be fixed, but I can’t access the internet from home, so I can’t really make any updates. I’m so sorry to everyone who’ve been trying to contact me or are waiting for me to add them as affiliates, I’ll answer everyone and add everyone as soon as my internet gets fixed.
All my love,
Ariana

It appears that Tarja has been spending the last few days in Argentina, where she made these very cute messages for her Argentinian fans:

“Starpulse” recently created a list of the top ten sexiest metal female singers. Tarja came in first place with 120.300 votes. Other singers on the list included Simone Simons, Sharon den Adel and Cristina Scabbia.

I’m sorry there haven’t been a lot of updates lately, things are very slow in the Tarja camp right now as she prepares for a tour starting in May and works on her new solo ablum. I am working on a couple of big updates though, so be patient and keep coming back
All my love,
Ariana

The official Winter Storm fanclub members sent Tarja some questions, and she has posted the answers on her blog. She revealed several new things, for example how she composes songs, and that she has arachnophobia, that there’s no place she wouldn’t like to perform in, but it really depends on the local promoters and her record company and some news about the Enough video:

There was an unfortunate misfortune during the process of the video Enough. The 3D animation designer had a bad car accident and he couldn’t be easily replaced. He is still today recovering and not working full time.
Nobody is to blame, just fate.
That caused a big delay for the original schedule. Just recently, we gave up. The record company has no chances to use the video for promotion any longer, as it should have been accompanied by a song release.
I do believe in signs, so why not to read this one?
I am very sorry to let you know that there won’t be a new video release of my song Enough.

According to www.metalhead.ro Doro is very happy with her collaboration with Tarja.

Doro is very happy about her collaboration with Tarja
Doro Pesch confessed, in an interview for MTUK, that she was very happy when the former Nightwish singer, Tarja Turunen, accepted her invitation to take part in her aniversary concert.
“The colaboration with Tarja was extraordinary. We sang together the song Walking With Angels. Everytime I listen to the song, I remember the duet with Tarja”, Doro said.
The German singer also said she hopes to work more with the Finnish artist in the future.
In an interview for Metalshrine, Doro Pesch confessed that metal music is the most important thing for her.
“I realised I’ve been living for metal for many years. For me, metal music always ment freedom, always ment being myself”, said Doro.
“Metal means doing only what you like, with passion and energy. I like agressive songs, but also melodic songs, so there’s plenty to choose from”, the German singer said.
Doro said in the same interview she never thought she’d have such a long career.
“After my second album, Hellbound, I was awfully tired, I simply didn’t have the power to start it all over again. That’s when I said that’s it, it will all end here. But here I am, at my 17th album. Maybe things that don’t kill you make you stronger”, Doro concludes.

Also, as you might or might not have noticed, we have a new gallery layout. I have also made new layouts for the media center and the fan-arts archive, but my computer crashed and I have to update the scripts before I install them. After that there will be some nice updates in all these sections, so check back.

I’m sorry I didn’t change the poll, like I said before, my computer crashed and I just fixed it today, but there’ll be a new poll up tomorrow. Since the results of this poll told me that you’d rather want to keep the fan-arts archive as a part of the gallery, I’m keeping it that way
