(no subject)
I've come up with a photo-posting theme for every month in the next year. It differs, depending on wher your chosen celebrity personality is from. I've got American, UK, and Mexican holidays listed, but if your character is from another country, please, post as necessary.
EXAMPLE
Cyd Charisse celebrates Christmas in December with a party for family and friends.
So I, as Cyd, would post photos of myself/myself with others at this party in the classic_evening journal.
-OR-
Errol Flynn goes to the Oscars in January.
So he would post photos in the classic_oscars journal.
-OR-
Esther Williams and Fred Astaire were goofing off around the MGM lot.
They'd post photos in the__lot journal.
As you can see, there are a number of things you post photos of each month, so it shouldn't get too boring after a week or two each month :) (I hope)
