As you can see (or will see soon after you clear your browser cache) the winning banner in our banner poll contest was banner number 3. I kept the names of the artists under wraps because regulars Ana (banner 4 and 5) and Celina (banner 2) were involved. Oh, and our own Rachel did a banner…banner 3. I smell conspiracy!
Rachel’s banner made it by a mere 3 votes. I think it’s really well suited to the site, especially with the added idea to have it transparent. A big thanks to the 3 ladies who submitted entries, including a new contributor Lidia (banner 1).
To mix things up I think I’m going to have the other banners go up for a few days each sometime in the future, and later in the year maybe we can do this again.

Good idea,Dazza.Switching banners from time to time makes the website more attractive.The other banners were great too so they can be alternate choices.I like it.

i voted for Rachel’s too! so happy it won! Does anyone know when exactly Natalie is moving to France?

@starprincess66-Benjamin should start as director of the Paris Opera Ballet in September 2014,so it’s possible Natalie will move to France some time in 2014.I don’t think she will move this year considering she has to do promotion for Thor 2 and the two Malick films not to mention the filming of Jane Got A Gun starting in March.
