This is the first of Origen’s new spectacular events in Hollywood's new schedule. It will be a Valentine’s eve show, titled “The Aphrodite Festival,” starring The Pink Vampire. And what better way to spend the night before Valentine's Day than with Aphrodite, the goddess of love. The stars and Moon will shine the light of romance around us. The voice of Aphrodite (The Pink Vampire) will arouse those deep desires and passions in us, casting her enchantments over our hearts; as she did in ancient Greece. It is time to fall in love all over again, and the Aphrodite Festival is the perfect place to do it. Bring that special someone, or find someone new at this star-crossed event.

The set designers at Hollywood Studios have gone all out creating a Mt. Olympus style venue, based on the very bad, but fun and popular Hercules and Sons of Hercules movies of the 1960’s; which started such favorites as Steve Reeves and Jane Mansfield.

This event will allow either formal or costumed attire. Guests are welcome to come in togas or as their favorite Greek God, Goddess or Greek Hero. The part of Aphrodite will be played by the Pink Vampire. This event is expected to fill up fast, so guests are advised to come early to dance and to explore this fabulous full sim build.

The Pink Vampire Missing for 3 Days - Fans Frantic

 The Pink Vampire left her home in the fabulous Hollywood Hills Monday Nov. 23rd at about 2pm SLT, sources say. She was supposed to arrive about 11pm at the home of friends Don and Ellen Baker in Ely, NV where she was planning to spend a few days and share a Thanksgiving dinner. The Police blots indicate that the Baker’s reported The Pink Vampire missing at 2am the following morning. They were told that they would have to wait 48 hours before anything could be done. That is when Mrs. Baker mentioned the missing person was The Pink Vampire. The police immediately sprang into action. An APB was put out for the songstress’ easy to spot pink Mercedes. The FBI was called in after 24 hours of searching. It was at this point that news leaked of the missing star and fans became frantic. The amazing singing sensation and regular performer at The Hollywood Ballroom was gone without a trace. There were no breaks in the case until The Pink Vampire showed up on the doorstep of the Baker’s home early this morning, completely unaware that three days had passed since she had left Hollywood or that anyone was looking for her. When our reporters asked an insider, who wished to remain anonymous, about what happened, his only response was that her route did take her past area 51.

More on this story as it breaks…..
