Oracle CEO Larry Ellison just bought the Hawaiian Island of Lanai to gaze at Tori Praver's hometown, Lahaina, a stone's throw away in West Maui! ;) http://travel.usatoday.com/hotels/post/2012/06/oracle-corp-ceo-larry-ellison-buys-most-of-hawaiian-island/787776/1 Tori Nation knows, however, that not even the 6th richest person in the world (Ellison's net worth: $36B USD) can buy Tori's beautiful mind, heart, or soul! :wub2: Ellison's got the jump on the rest of us by buying a greedy 98% of the beautiful little island. What can Tori Nation do with a measly 2% of Lanai? :blueeyedbaby: We can have my broker purchase a remaining acre on Lanai's northeast shore to build a Tori Nation Shrine dedicated to Tori, complete with a statuesque statue of her. The Tori Nation Shrine on Lanai will house a high-powered Tori Telescope that Tori can turn on and off remotely to keep her privacy. This telescope will give Tori devotees a chance to catch a glimpse of the angelic, fearless, principled leader of Tori Nation in her hometown and at a safe distance to prevent fainting in her presence. Tori is a tall drink of liquid made from better stuff on earth than Snapple could ever concoct and deserves such monuments to her wonderfulness worldwide. Of course, Tori's legendary humility and down-to-earthness would veto any of these adoring gestures by Tori Nation.

Thanks for the "refreshing" vid clip, Babylola! Tori looks so cute with her long hair tucked behind her ears. I love to hear her speak and move! Thanks to Tori's natural good looks, she looks good with or without jewels!

Tori may look amazing to some and not so amazing to others. On BZ and on Babylola's FB, we can see she is an amazing model regardless of one's tastes. She certainly knows, however, how to multi-task! No question! Tori manages her modeling career and her swimsuit business professionally, competently, and quite sweetly as her Instagram candids and photographers' comments attest. :morning: She also keeps in touch regularly with her fans, friends, family, and her fiancee while traveling all over the place. Not to mention all her charitable giving. . .! Tori is not just a super model; she is a Super Woman who deserves a suit with a ST (for Super Tori) on the chest and cape. Might as well throw in Wonder Woman's golden bracelets and lassoo not because Tori can't handle any trouble that may arise, but because she is a wonder and a wonderful wonder at that! I love this cute pic she posted as we rarely see such personal photos of celebs/models when they are young or of their parents. Pictures of Tori's Dad and Mom on BZ certainly show us where she got her high cheek bones and striking eyes among other things. Her Dad looks as timelessly handsome an A-Lister as Tori does a beautiful one! Ryan, her deceased younger brother, is so adorable, too. It is amazing that Tori shares these pics with us and is a testament to her sweet, giving, and grounded nature!

Babylola has given sooooooo much to Tori's BZ pages, especially in the last few weeks, and she has created Love Tori Praver on FB. Because of all that work for Tori, Babylola can make a mistake with the only other model she likes anytime! I'm sure it was just slip caused by working too hard on TWO sets of pages dedicated to Tori! Here's to page 132 and the Summer Solstice coming soon to a Northern Hemisphere location near you!

Timeless Tori Gorsuch cannnot seem to let her go. Tori may be gone but not forgotten there as today's Gorsuch daily email shows :

Thanks, Babylola, for exploring the other agencies that represent Tori! Have a good weekend and thanks again for creating Tori's FB page!

Babylola, I am glad you beat me to the punch with Happy Birthday wishes for Tori! You have done so much for Tori by contributing tons of pics to her BZ pages and starting an awesome fan pages on Facebook! :wub2: I hope Tori and all of her family and friends know how much those of us in Tori Nation , and those who are lucky enough to come into contact with her, appreciate her birth and every single thing she has done since that auspicious day in 1986! In Tori Nation and beyond, this entire week should be called Tori Week! As a week-long celebration of Tori's birth, people can post pics and/or comments on BZ and FB explaining why Tori is so awesome. The Birthday Girl. . . Looking Too Cute, Cute for Comfort: Showing She Can Always Have Fun: Looking Like a Natural-Born Killer Beauty:

BigMax, Thanks for such a great summery treat of our super, summmer sistah! :wub2: Love the roller SKATES in the age of roller BLADES! Hope the weekend has been good to all!

Babylola, You have started Tori's FB pages so fast and furiously! Thanks for getting that going and putting in so much effort! You are worthy of the honor of running Tori Nation's FB pages!

Dearest Babylola. . . :wub2: Tori Nation can be used by ALL people who love ALL things Tori! And, YOU, Babylola, would be voted President of Tori Nation by its citizens for ALL you research, find, and post on her BZ pages. Tori Nation is a land of equality and tolerance and is filled with Tori fans who are as humble and grounded as she is. :wub2: Still, Tori and all her equal fans would unanimously vote you "equaler" than most for all that you have done for Tori Nation's eponymous muse. And even after you have done so much for Tori and Tori Nation, you have found yet another way to bring Tori pics and intel to Tori Nation and, as important, bring new Tori starlet gazers and worshipers together in wonderment. Thanks for inviting us all to your new Tori Temple via Facebook! A creative way to "build a better mousetrap" that will keep Tori Nation logging on extra eagerly to BZ and FB to see what's new in Tori's Wonderful World! We will all visit and marvel at your creation and maybe take a split-second peek at Tori as we check it out, and I am sure Tori will, too! She knows that no celebrity can exist without his or her fan base! Thanks, too, for the earnest and persistent effort you have put in by bringing the latest and greatest Tori intel, pics, and vids to Tori Nation! You will continue to put in this amount of effort without any real expectation of reward but for the love of Tori and bringing the glory of Tori to Tori Nation! It's nice to see someone in this day and age do something simply for the love of doing it! Not for praise, attention, or. . . money! It has never been easy to find pics of Tori, and you are doing a great job! You won't need much luck this project because you are doing it from your heart , but a little luck never hurt anybody! Up to page 131 thanks to all your posts!

That's great, Babylola! I remember you mentioned wanting to do that several weeks ago. Tori would love an FB tribute page, especially with your good taste and ability to find Tori pics faster than anyone! Another saying that applies to what you are doing and also involves a mouse is "Build a better mousetrap, and people will buy it." Or in this case view it! Good luck! Let me know if I can help, but it seems you are far better at researching, posting, and computering in general than I am!

There is a small book meant for business readers called WHO MOVED THE CHEESE? In a nutshell, the researchers place a piece of cheese in a mouse's maze in the same place each day, and the mouse finds it and then can find it automatically after a few tries. Then the researchers move the cheese, and it takes far longer for the mouse to find the cheese each time they move the cheese. Of course, during each person's day, the cheese can be moved quite often. In some cases, you can change it back but in most cases, you have no choice but to figure out how to find the new cheese location, and maybe even leave a bread crumb trail! That's because some decision-making entity has made the decision for you and hopefully on your behalf. That entity may or may not want your suggestions and won't move the cheese back and simply wants you to get used to the new location or. . .leave in the most extreme case. Bellazon has moved a lot of cheese for us minions who have been posting statements and pics, etc. a certain way on these pages for quite some time without such a sweeping change. Of course, some like it, and some don't and some others don't care. My questions are: 1. Should we have been asked if we wanted a change? 2. If so, should we have been given a chance to give input? 3. Sometimes, as in the OJ refrigerators in the supermarket, there are too many choices (eg lots of pulp, medium pulp, no pulp, Vitamins A,C, E, etc), and it is easier to give Bellazon users no choice just to get the new site design rolled out. Most folks probably think having choice is good whether buying OJ, a phone, or having a say in designing this new site. We probably should, at least, have been alerted to the impending change. Maybe I missed it. Unfortunately, administrative decision makers and focus groups, etc. take a lot of time. I totally understand what Babylola says. It is not exactly a vibrant new look. The colors or absence of colors are muted and have little contrast, but as SnL said, there are upsides. Tori's reds in the latest Bobbi Brown screen caps stand out even more vividly thanks to the blah color scheme. Maybe that's what BZ intended when rolling this new version out. If I may speak for Babylola, the anger comes from the surprise, and for her and others, not a good one. People, generally don't like surprises like this. BZ could have easily found a diplomatic way to announce this change and may have some where in the administrative section. I wonder if there is a section on BZ that explains this new, seemingly unilateral decision. After taking a course in website design to rollout a new website for an international bank, I found that studying the best web sites in your industry and in others' help a great deal. Why reinvent the wheel? This meant looking at the sites of Best Buy, Staples and others as well as Citibank, JPMorgan (before the recent idiot error ), etc. I wonder if BZ looked at other models sites and sites from other industries when re-designing this one. That course said most important factors for a good site include: 1. Navigation (always a click away from home) 2. General Layout in terms of visibility of buttons and pictures. 3. Color Scheme. If you can think of sites you really like along functionality lines and aesthetic lines, you should specifically mention the site and what you think is great and ask a BZ administrator if he or she can implement another change at this time. Given the way it's been done so far (an unannounced change), you will probably get a "no," but you may get a response saying the site is evolving so suggestions are welcome. Finding the proper BZ contact who is qualified to talk about this change would be a good place as there seem to be many questions from us mice. Maybe this design saves space on BZ's server. I know most of you are better at finding cheese that has been moved than I am so most will get used to this "new look and feel." Whatever the case, Tori Nation's muse will always look Tori Terrific on any website design.

Oooooooh, Baby, Baby. . . Babylola! You have been such a weekend warrior on behalf of a Tori Nation that has been hankering for new Tori pics! You broke the new Tori pic "silence" with quantity and SUBERB quality of RED HOT pics of RED HOT Tori! Thank yooooooooo sooooooo much for spending so much time for us Tori fans and for GREAT Tori taste! Team Tori Captain, have a fun, restful evening and Sunday and take a Tori pic research and posting break!

I was just flippin' Tori's BZ pages from Numero Uno and saw Hyperion's animated signature of Model Headshots with Element Abbreviations to imititate the Periodic Table: eg Doutzen = Dz with a pic and a short description of her chemical make up. He was so creative and such a perfectionist. In one of many Tori wallpapers, Hyperion took several Polaroids from Yamamay (that her probably made to look like Polaroids because they are square images) and placed them in an open folder with a paper clipped note, a post-it note with a fake note from Tori and her name on the tab. Unbelievable. He has so many of these intricate wallpapers and each is as detailed and unique as a. . . snowflake. I have gotten up to 25 going pretty fast. But the Hyperion pages start before that. I can't remember when. You'll just have to look during this quiet, reflective period in Tori Nation. It's always worth the refreshing trip. It's also amazing to think that was five years ago! You could go through high school or college! It was interesting to read the comments. Babylola and SnL are veteran fans and long-time citizens of Tori Nation, though each citizen has the same status regardless of when he or she became a citizen! Unlike most nations in which birthright and a family's history in a nation give automatic, essentially unearned status and power. Student, Graduate, or Worker Bee, have a great weekend! This Tori pic below was meant as a Happy Mom's Day for Tori's mom, but since every day is Mom's Day, I will just throw it in today. Tori's Mom and Her Little Mermaid Modelina:

I hope you made your Moms happy this past weekend, and I hope the transition to Monday was not too manic! I came across this pic of Tori quite by accident on Tori's Page on My Sexiest Women Blog. There are quite a few BZ babelicious babes with a number of pics on this blog. It is simply and tastefully done contrary to what the title may suggest. Our representative, the eponymous leader of Tori Nation, simply glows "Some Kind of Wonderful" and all sorts of beautiful in this pic that is at the top of her page on the blog: Well, if you are studying for finals or graduating, I hope the finals go fast and furiously and the graduating part goes as fast or slow as you want it to. But most of all, I hope you have an engaging graduation speaker and a job or internship lined up!

Boy, Babylola, you sure do know High Quality and Tori Quality! Thanks for helping bring Tori's BZ pages to a nice, round number that can only get bigger!

What a great portrait, elada! Tori really looks royal! Maybe we should have an oil painting commissioned and frame it in a big, gold museum frame! As babylola said, your first post was great, and this, your second one, is amazing as well!

Ditto, Mahi! That is such an adorable pic. What a wonderful Mother's Day Gift, Tori herself! Thank you, Tori Nation Ambassador Extraordinaire, babylola!

Thanks, elada, for keeping watch for our worldly, Cosmopolitan girl's pics appearing all over the globe. Being in Avon catalogues that reach different demographics than, say, Gorsuch, Tori will show even more women the epitome of natural good looks! Tori has always been an example of health and beauty for women from all walks of life.

Thanks, Babylola, for reminding us how healthy and hot Tori's skin and hair always look! I think she would make a good mermaid in a remake of Splash! with Darryl Hannah and Tom Hanks. Tori is even sitting like one, and looks so sexy/sinewy simply sitting!

Thanks, Tekka, for spotting the Bobbi Brown pic. I think Bobbi Brown was actually "inspired by the fresh, healthy, glowing look Tori has had since she was born." Thanks, Babylola, for making the pics so up-close-and-personal!

Oh m' Gawd, Babylola! You are such a weekend warrior for Tori Nation! Thanks for riding back and forth along the front lines of the Internet posting Tori Videos and Pics all weekend! All the cute, sexy, and fun pics of Tori have given Tori Nation a weekend to remember. And, your posts have added another page to Tori's BZ thread to bring the grand total to . . . 129! Thanks, Babylola, for your researching and posting efforts from so many sources!

I have seen Tori pics with babies and little kids. She's a natch with children. Tori's Aloha attitude will make her a relaxed mom, but they will start competitive, big-wave surfing upon birth ! I am so sure Tori will be a Natural-Born Mama Bear when she is ready and wants to be! Thanks for another cute, cute pic, this time two "babes" in one!

OOOOOh, babylola, the candids you posted are too cute for comfort. The pics from Tori's website are soooooo scrumpdillyicious*! Thank, you! Thank you! *Willy Wonka's Wonka Chocolate Bar was advertised as "scrumpdillyicious" just as Tori always has been and will be!
