TAMARA OBSCURA || NEW LAYOUT

Well, here it is. Finally! TAMARA OBSCURA‘s new layout. A huge debt of gratitude to Christine @ PINKCHAOS.ORG for the lovely and stunning design. I’d struggled for months with various things that Christine brought together so effortlessly. If anyone needs a quality website designed for them, Christine’s your go-to gal. Thank you so very much Christine. No words can express how thrilled I am with the new design.

One thing though, with Christmas rapidly approaching and some personal issues I have going on right now in terms of family responsibilities, the transferring of the pages in the old website will take some time to transfer here. I’m still trying to figure out how I’m going to set up the new press section, so until I have that done, I’m going to be using the dropdown section in the top sidebar box for that so you can still read the articles. I also have a whole whack of house cleaning to do behind the scenes in clearing out the old files that once encompassed this site. I hope to have that done throughout December. With so much new here at TAMARA OBSCURA, I’m going to have to take the time to breathe it all in. So for now, I hope you love the changes. I know I do.

As always, take care and be safe.

Yours, Dianne

TAMARA OBSCURA || 11/22/2010 – LOS ANGELES PREMIERE “FASTER”

Okay, I made you wait long enough. Here are the event images of Tamara attending the Los Angeles Premiere of the film “Faster”. They’re a mixture of MQ and HQ. Enjoy. I’m not going to post any thumbs for the album as I’m in the process of getting the site prepared for the new layout.

TAMARA OBSCURA || THE MAIN MONKEY BUSINESS

The title refers to a Rush song off of their “Snakes & Arrows” album that infers something is up. Something is. I’m going to be doing some monkeying around behind the scenes in getting the gallery fixed, and by fixed I mean, it’s in a shoddy state. Since I put this site up, I’ve gotten more proficient at organizing the galleries of my Stephen Nichols, Ted King and Mitch Pileggi sites. This one I’m afraid I kind of put up on the fly just to get something up on Tamara. I’m really disappointed in the way it looks organizationally for the new layout to go up. Plus, I’m going to be updating the database to a newer more svelt version of Coppermine. So for a time the look will be plain old, plain old. The new layout will be up, fingers crossed, next week, or at the very latest the weekend. So please forgive any hinkiness you might find in the viewing.

Another thing, I’ve been able to get a hold of about a dozen images of Tamara’s last event, the “Faster” premiere in Los Angeles. Hopefully I’ll have those for you sometime tonight. Sorry for the sluggishness of the updates and uploads but there’s been so much to do to prepare the site for the new layouts. My apologies.

Yours, Dianne

TAMARA OBSCURA || HAPPY THANKSGIVING

On behalf of TAMARA OBSCURA and OBSCURE MEDIA I’d like to wish Tamara’s American fans a Happy and safe Thanksgiving. Please be safe and if you’re drinking, think of a designated driver or just staying the night. Take care.

I’ll be back later with some new event images I’ve found thanks to Lori. I should make her a regular contributor here with all the nice nuggets she’s finding us. In the meantime, enjoy Turkey day!

Also, I’ve managed to fix the comment issue we’ve been having for quite some time now, so feel free to use the comment feature if you’d like to leave a comment…or two…or a thank you to Lori! I also want to thank all those who have sent emails to me on the new event images I’ve posted on Tamara. Yes, it is so lovely to see her again in whatever fashion. The new event images I’ll be posting, Tamara looks sensational and here’s hoping it’s the end of the sabbatical Tamara’s taken. Welcome back Tamara!

Yours, Dianne

TAMARA OBSCURA II A TAMARA SITING

We have a Tamara siting, at last! Thanks to Lori for navigating me to these. Tamara attended an art exhibit in Los Angeles on November 12. She looks lovely, as always. So good to see her in whatever capacity. Hope you enjoy these. Again, if you’d like to comment, please use the Shoutmix in the sidebar. Until I get the new layout done and the new content management system up you won’t be able to use the regular comment section on the posts. Sorry.

As for that new layout, I’m hoping it’ll be done soon. I really want to give the site a facelift for both my sake and for you guys who’ve stuck by me all these years.
