I have found two new pretty photoshoots, and have them added to the gallery. Check it:

Finally, after a while, Jessica Chastain Network has new layouts, done by the amazing Sweet Revelation! We used the pretty InStyle photo shoot, which is one of my favorites!

Our gallery also has a new look, matching with the main theme, and she made us a pretty Twitter background, too!

Please, let me know if you spot any error. I was able to view the layout on IE, Chrome and Firefox with no problem, but just in case, just report the error to me.

It’s been a very busy day for me, but I managed to add some pictures of her arrival, HQ sized. More will be add by tonight, for sure. Enjoy the first ones:

I was stalking Jessica’s Facebook page as if there was no tomorrow just to read her reaction on her Oscar nomination, and she posted a few minutes ago:

OH MY GOODNESS! I am in absolute shock. I didn’t expect to receive an Oscar nomination! I really didn’t!!! I don’t understand this great year. I’m in Paris and was in a fashion show when the nominations were announced. My life has become a dream. Thank you all, for your love and faith in me. I’ve more blessings than I can count. Today is a beautiful day that I will remember for the rest of my life. My love to all of you xxxx jes
