Hump Me Day

Dress: Gorgeous Earth Goddess Gown won from the lucky chair at Dragon and Rose @ Lemania Indigo. Try your luck; chair changes every 20 minutes. Outfits in store range from $100 - 390 and permitions despite the sign at the front of the store claiming everything is no transfer are inconsistent with some outfits being no transfer, others transferable, and still some being a mix of the two permition options. There are several $25 lingerie sets that are transferable as well as vendors from D-Factor in store which vendors display that the items are transferable. So look before you purchase items. There's also a may day hunt going on and the store has many may poles for sale for $1 as well as a couple of $1 and free outfits. (Lucky Chair - F - http://slurl.com/secondlife/Lemania/160/6/30)

The Story So Far - A Biography (chapter two)

The Story So Far - A Biography

Chapter Two

So it was 2001 and Chris Evans played a leadrole in the movie Not Another Teen Movie. This movie was directed by Joel Gallen and released on 14th December 2001. Chris's co-stars were Chyler Leigh, Jaime Pressly, Mia Kirshner, Eric Christian Olsen, Deon Richmond and Eric Jungmann. Among others.

(Chris & Chyler Leigh)

Chris played the role of Jake Wyler, a popular jock at John Hughes High School, who takes on a bet from his friend Austin (Eric Christian Olsen) that he can transform the ugly girl Janey (Chyler Leigh) into a prom queen before prom night. Jake's evil sister Catherine (Mia Kirshner) is trying to stop Jake from succeeding just as Priscilla (Jaime Pressly), Jake's cheerleading ex-girlfriend.

The scene we all know and love is the scene where Chris only wears whipped cream, cherry's and a banana. He said about this in an interview:"Yeah, I had to kind of warn my mom and grandma about that scene. They gave me this bag-like thing to wear - it was all I had on in the scene. They told me it would be a closed set, but that's not how it worked out. It was pretty strange to stand there with all those people around."

In 2002 Not Another Teen Movie was nominated three times at the MTV Movie Awards for Best Cameo (Molly Ringwald), Best Kiss and Best Line. The movie was also nominated by the Teen Choice Awards that same year.

(Chris & Jaime Pressly at the Not Another Teen Movie premiere)

Although the movie was a succes it wasn't Chris's big breakthrough. After Not Another Teen Movie Chris played in the television pilots Just Married (2003) and Eastwick (2002).

And in 2004 Chris played the role of Kyle in again a teenmovie The Perfect Score. Co-stars were Erika Christensen (Anna Ross), Bryan Greenberg (Matty Matthews) and Scarlett Johansson (Francesca Curtis). Just a few years later and Chris and Scarlett would meet again in the movie The Nanny Diaries.

The Perfect Score is a story about six high school seniors who are planning to steal the answers to the College SAT exam. With all consequences...
