and
love-inspired
Valentines
Day
In This Issue For quick access to our articles please click
the
on the left menu bar. Valentine kisses and an Anniversary Issue
all in one...can it get any better? Love is everywhere in Moove all year long,
and even Cupid has a wonderful second vacation
home just on the outskirts of West Moove.
But the blossom of love blooms with more
vibrancy and with a sweeter scent when the
fourteenth of February arrives; and our Valentines
insert available on page 7 has all your Valentines needs. Whether you are looking for formal gowns, club fashions, or something sparkly, the amazing designers in Moove have been
pumping out Valentines Day goodies since
the day after Christmas. They are indeed the working class
heroes in our close-knit community of Moove
and the song, "Working Class Hero"
by Ozzy Osborne is the purrfect song for
our Designers article. Speaking of HARD, this issue was harder to
put together than I thought it would be.
It was not just trying to figure out which
articles and stories to include in the "Best of the Crystal Angel" series, it was the memories of friends,
family, joys and sorrows that overwhelmed
me like a wave from the Ocean. I often found myself in tears as I remembered
traveling the world with Angeleyezs, Mela
and Mom (Beads) - or when I heard a song
from a past issue (like "Sanctuary"
by Grant Lee Buffalo) and thought of my Dad
Jargon ( I miss you Dad and hope you are
back soon), or sitting having tea with those
that are no longer with us. I found myself having to take breaks and
run into Moove to visit with Auntie Nymph,
Pops (MysteryMan) and dear Auntie Craftie
Lady for comfort and to be able to refocus
and carry on. They are all so dear to me. I thought of how so much has changed this
past year. The loss of Angeleyezs and Wizzly
to a greater power and how, with the help
of nearly 70% (according to our Poll) of
the residents of Moove, the Crystal Angel
has become the flagship online magazine for
our wonderful community. I reflected on the amazing kindness shown
to me as I struggled to grow and learn about
things I never experienced before - and I
thanked God for bringing Mela into my life
and to the magazine. If it had not been for
her, there would be no Crystal Angel. Our "Best of the Crystal Angel"
series begins on page 3, after the third installment of "Beanz", the ongoing saga of our
life in Moove. From our odd and disturbing encounters in
Salem, Mass to the meeting with the Guardian
and the rip in the fabric to the hostile
welcome we received at the House of Blues
in Las Vegas - the journey of Angel Kiss
and our friends from Moove just seems to
be getting weirder and weirder - and the
Peyote brought the wierd to new colorful
heights.. We are currently still analyzing the results
of our recent poll to determine the impact
of the Crystal Angel on the daily lives of
Moove residents. The initial poll results
has helped us to change several design choices
of the Premier Fashion and Design Magazine
to better serve our readers and fans. We
have removed many of the full page ads between
stories, minimized the number of advertisers,
shrunk the size of the pages, and are working
to offer better navigation. We plan on posting the poll results and our
plans in the next issue.. Our Valentines Day insert also takes a Trip
to the Spa, a video of the latest fashions
to spice up your romance, and our new contributor,
the Roving Reporter. With Tassy leaving for the new Kitty Kat
magazine (Ask Ally), Skye Blue has stepped
up and accepted our offer (huge pay and stock options) to join the Crystal Angel staff.
We could not be happier. Our Angel Kisses Grant Renewal Program is
in full swing, and we are proud to announce
that we have given $900,000.00 in confidential
grants in an effort to maintain our community
and keep our friends and family with us.
To the anonymous board members who review
the grant applications, I want to say I love
you and I thank you for stepping forward.
We will be refilling our Trust Fund this
month and any donations from our community
would be greatly appreciated. We have continued to improve our Designer
Search Tool and wish to thank Lothar and
Moove for all the support and love shown
to us. We have also added a Live Help application
found at the left of all C/A pages and have
changed out the past issues to the current
design layout. We believe all of this will
add to the overall enjoyment of experiencing
all the Crystal Angel and Moove have to offer. Each of our magazine pages, as is the case
with every issue, has a wonderful sound file
that goes with it. We have changed the player
to a flash player which looks like this and relocated it to the top of the page.
This should allow everyone to be able to
enjoy the full effect of all of our pages.
If music is your addiction, our Valentines
Radio offers great kissing and snuggling
tunes to get you into the spirit. This month we offer Jefferson Airplane, Wolf Mother, Wolf Stone,
Wide Spread Panic, Ramshackel, Kid Rock,
the Jayhawks, Lita Ford and many more., If the sound file does not play, please click
the play icon. If you like the music and
wish to buy the CD, the CD cover at the top
right of each page will take you to Amazon. We are working on adding a direct link
for all songs to
the download offered by
our friends at Amazon. Often the page you are viewing will have
more than one sound file that goes with it,
so take your time reading and enjoying the
pictures. We highly recommend using headphones.
You never know exactly what you will hear.
LOL Last but not least, the Crystal Angel offers
thanks and blessings to all who have participated,
offered comfort and advice. and sent kind
thoughts and words to Mela and me over the
past year. The Crystal Angel is truly YOUR
magazine, we are just the caretakers. It
is all of you that have allowed the Crystal
Angel to enjoy amazing growth and reach more
and more readers every month. Our December
Issue fell just a teenie bit short of 12,000
page views, up from 8000 in October and the
only reason for this jump is all of you.
Thank you so very much and please know, we
love you just as much as you love us, probably
more. To begin enjoying all the Crystal Angel has
to offer, please
use the button at the top right and the bottom right
of each page, and
we do ask that you visit
our advertisers as
they are the ones that
allow us to offer
this magazine and ad space
for the designers
for free. Happy Valentines Day, and thank you one and
all. Please know,
that you are loved and
cherished.
Peace and Love Forever
Mela and Tory
