 		[UPDATE] Sentinel - Isabella Levenay - July 21, 2005
Quote:
Publisher
By CORINNE HATHAWAY

The great, lamented Isabella Levenay may have left us, but her empire lives on -- that is, unless her warring heirs tear her legacy apart in their squabble for a share of the stake. In the latest news in the Levenay saga, her nephew, Isador Levenay, has penned a kiss-and-tell exposé of the inner workings of the company and its dysfunctional family. The book is expected out from White & Olson in a few months' time.

The Sentinel was sent an advance copy of the manuscript under the condition that no excerpts could be printed. The book paints Isabella herself as a draconian perfectionist who was cold to her family, her children as weak and surrounded by sycophants, unable to make independent decisions, and reveals the petty and often cruel interactions between all of the family members in the years since Isabella's death, as each heir has fought for greater control of the enterprise -- and that's just the first few chapters.

In response to the news, Levenay's current CEO and Isabella's son, Oscar Levenay, was simply furious. "Isador has no right to be telling tales in this way," he said. "This is nothing but an act of jealousy and greed. How would he know what went on between my mother and my siblings? He wasn't there. ... I assure you my mother was a very loving and warm individual." Oscar Levenay indicated that he is going to be pursuing legal avenues to prevent full release of the book on the grounds that it is libellous and untrue.

Isador Levenay declined to be interviewed at this time, but said that he would be happy to speak in depth after the release of the book as a part of its promotional effort.

Haute designer Isabella Levenay began her business as a modest couturier in the Artist's Quarter in early 203. By the time of her death in 265, her brand had become one of the most recognised in Perplex City, and offered merchandise ranging from clothing, handbags, and accessories, to even home furnishings, beauty products, and a highly-regarded chain of retreat spas. The Levenay corporate empire is estimated to be worth PCL7.2 billion, though it is impossible to precisely calculate the true worth of the privately-held company.

MORE NEWS IN BRIEF:
Missing Children Found

Two children who went missing from a family excursion were located in the catacombs yesterday after only a few hours, police say. The children, 2 and 4 years old, are unharmed, but understandably frightened by their ordeal.

FUTURES
For the week of July 18

The Half-filled Jug (July 11 - August 10)
There is a fine line between lovability and lunacy, duckling, and you've been doing a bit of veering these days. Try to tone down the hysteria and get in touch with what really matters.

The Dragon (August 11 - September 10)
Broke much? One word for you: budget. Sure, it takes a little bit of discipline, and that so is not your strong suit. Just think of it as a fun game to see how much money you can not spend, and your high score is the balance left in your bank at the end of the month.

The Three Balls (September 11 - October 10)
Gosh, I'm scared for you. You've been hanging around some dodgy characters lately, huh? Cut your local psychic a break, promise to lock your doors at night and make sure your mum always knows where you are.

The Dice (October 11 - November 10)
If anybody ever needed a little sharp red, it's you, poppet. There's something big whacking you right on the nose, and you too dull to just put the pieces together. Why don't you jumble it all together and take another look?

The Maze (November 11 - December 10)
What I wouldn't give to be you this week! Just between you and me, though, you might want to keep it under your hat for a while. You're about to feel the hand of luck, and that can make people a little jealous.

The Apple-Thief (December 11 - January 10)
Loving, laughing, two by two; is that what humankind's to do? If that's the truth that sets us free, then where does that bring thee and me?

The Hand (January 11 - February 10)
Someone you love is easing out of your life. Settle in with some ice cream and cry on Madam's shoulder, poor baby. It hurts, I know, but now isn't the time to fight it, it will all work out for the best, and I so am not just saying that.

The Baby (February 11 - March 10)
Oh, just charming. I know you've got the market cornered on immature, but isn't that a bit much even for you? Be brave and make with the apologies before they sail you out of town on a rudderless dinghy.

The Eagle (March 11 - April 10)
Thinking about a big change? Start with a haircut instead. It might change how people react to you just enough that you can figure out how happy you really are, after all.

The Spider (April 11 - May 10)
You make those webs look so easy, but we both know how hard it is to keep up that cool nonchalance of yours. Maybe you should take a little rest from the weaving and see how things pan out without all the help from you. You just might be pleasantly surprised.

The Wave (May 11 - June 10)
You, sweet pea, need to get back to nature, or something like that. Me, I'm an urban kind of seer, but you need to go and surround yourself with some trees and grass for a while, or something like that. I'm told it's cleansing.

The Archer (June 11 - July 10)
Splash a little paint on your walls, hot stuff, and buy some new curtains. You've been leading the frugal life well enough, and you do deserve a little luxe now and again. And anyway, I see a happy windfall coming your way by week's end.

And remember, sometimes it's better to sneak in the side door than to march in the front

 		Also: it's minor, but the ads now actually link to their respective sites instead of being static images.

 		Again, guys, If you don't respond to the spambots, it's easier for us to find the spam when we get here.

Thanks.

Will do in future!

 		PXC Folks: I'm locking this topic because it seems to be a favorite dumping ground for our serial spammer. If you ever need it unlocked for the game, please PM any of our fine admins.
