Dear, sweet Darlings,
Leave your mental and physical baggage at home and 🔑 check into 💞 The HoneyJune Suite! 💞 at The Dynasty Inn! Because Dynasty's June calendar was simply MADE for lovers. It was also made for: loners, group-ers, polycules, and intergenerational situationships. Don't feel your romantic vibe is represented here? Let us know! We [likely] want to take care of you! Let our room-service cater to your every whim. (The room we service is... our theater.)
Speaking of rooms n’ services, what’s your favorite hotel? We’re very partial to The Madonna Inn over here, but we always love traveling and getting bewitched in new locations and accommodations. Tell us about your top hotel/motel/inn/retreat recommendations that you think fit our love for enchanting aesthetics! Why? WHY NOT! Human connection, inspiration, the non-zero chance we’ll give you tickets to an upcoming show or up to 3% off popcorn! WOW! Now, That’s the Dynasty Difference!™
In other mus’ (in this instance, “mus’” is short for musings. So instead of saying in other NEWS, and setting up an expectation for crackerjack journalism on current events, you can use this cute li’l segue as an entrée into a musing of any type you like!) one of Van’s shrimps from her Walstad aquarium is…. 🥁 PREGNANT! Wow. Crustacean gestation initiation. 🥵 We’re so excited for Marge Shrimpson. We cant wait to watch her bloom into her shrimpternal instincts. This also means that Marge found true LOVE with an aquarium mate which is just such great news about the environment Vanessa is fostering. We’ll have to wait for the births to determine who the father is. Will it be Prawn Hamm or Zach EfPrawn!? In the last week of Jam's growing world of backyard bird listening he's had the pleasure of hearing from: A Phainopepla (what a name!), a Brown Headed Cowbird (ok!), a Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher (you get 'em!), a Northern Flicker (rare!), and just this morning a Spotted Sandpiper (taking a little vacation from the beach!). You are now all caught up.
Now, as our slate of livestreaming offerings grows, so do instances of folks trying to PIRATE THEM! And not the fun kind of pirate. We're talking little internet wormy worms undermining the hard work of our talent and team! No treasure to be found on THEIR boats! (The boats in this case, are, we guess, their morals?) In any case we're beefing up our security and will use this newsletter real estate to share our evolving security protocols:
🏴☠️ DYNASTY’S PATENTED “HIGH SEAS” APPROACH TO PIRACY™ 🕯️📜
Hear ye, hear ye: It has come to our solemn attention that certain internet knaves have taken to PIRACY, and in doing so hath robbed a humble house of corn 💔 and the performers within.
Well here at Dynasty….pirate crimes do PIRATE TIMES. Bootlegs? Meet peg legs 🦿, unrelenting scurvy 🍋❌, and a mandatory summons to DYNASTY SIBLING ACTION COURT 👩⚖️🧑⚖️ for CLAIMS OF ALL SIZES.
Repent, turd-hearted wayward souls!
Purchase thy rightful ticket 🎟️ or suffer for thine wrongful doings, you freaking twerps. This isn’t freaking LimeWire. You are literally stealing from the artists you claim to love.
And we will FIND YOUR IP.
We will TELL THEM who stole from them.
We will SHOW THEM unflattering pictures of you.
And yes—we shall banish you from our flarpin’ enchanting world forevermore. 🪦🍿✨Thus concludes the warning. 🫡
brinely,
VanJam

JODIE SWEETIN (FULL HOUSE) and DREW SEELEY (ANOTHER CINDERELLA STORY) lead a cast of nostalgic stars in “WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY J?” — a new Y2K boyband-obsessed story written by award-winning screenwriter VICTORIA MALE, for a live table read fundraising event.

Event sponsors include REELWORKS STUDIOS, VOCATION, and THE SUCCESSFUL SCREENWRITER, and is produced by LIONESS DEN PRODUCTIONS in partnership with IMPACT24 PR, JENNIFER SMITH from RAT DANCE PARTY, and the ALWAYS IN THE CLUB FOUNDATION.
