After an exhaustive review of all the applications for new volunteers, I have the pleasure to announce the following new additions to the team! They have been specifically selected to represent areas we believe have been greatly neglected:
You asked for it and we listened! It has been widely suggested that Journals be eligible to be featured as Daily Deviations. So starting today, the talented StephenieMeyer will be eagerly awaiting your suggestions!
OscartheGrouch will be taking care of Scraps and Storage to uncover those hidden gems that are truly.. hidden.
kimkardashian will be watching over the brand new Selfies category! (read below for more about new categories)
professorXavier will be minding the new ThoughtART gallery
We are constantly reviewing requests for new additions and changes to the category tree, to reflect the demands of the latest artistic currents. As a result of the last review, the following categories and sub-categories will soon be added:
:thumb357924083:
:thumb361582525:
We also will be adding some new Journal sub-categories:
Personal > Rants
Deviant Events > SOPA signal boosts
Deviant Events > OMG there is a hacker loose again
You will now be able to send your suggestions via your thoughts! Just think of the appropriate volunteer (according to this list) while looking at the deviation you want to suggest.
From now on, Daily Deviation suggestions will be received on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 8:00am to 1:00pm and from 2:00pm to 5:30pm PST 
Please note exceptions: Not applicable the first Monday of each month, in which case it will switch to Tuesdays. Also affecting the third Wednesday of each month which would switch to Thursday, except in the event of a Full Moon. Furthermore, if it is a leap year, it would be Saturdays, not Fridays, but only for January and February.
* Schedule is subject to change.

Please note that the requirements for Community Volunteers have been reviewed and it has been decided that beyond the attributes of community spirit and the ability to work with a team, new applicants will need to demonstrate "Musical Attitude". New CV candidates can now send their audition videos singing why they should be chosen to the following address: cr_the_musical@volunteers.deviantart.com

DressI bought a new dress, and I look fabulous in it! Of course I look fabulous with anything, lol!
ShampooI wonder what would happen if I decide to use conditioner BEFORE shampoo today... mmm I'll keep you posted... if I return.
Shower thoughtsAll the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from the downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation.Also, I need to buy some milk.
