Grandville Summer Festival!

Hello doll friends,

First up, I gotta show you this. My 4 year old was playing with my Barbie cast-offs and set up this little scene. (That yellow thing on the table is a TV shaped eraser.) Dig the lamp she made with a wedding cake and the pole from maybe a Barbie dress form? Adorbs.

Anyway, this weather (raining pretty much daily for the last month or so) has wrecked my spray painting plans. Much of the royal storyline rests on this painting project. So for now I decided to continue the other stories I have going.

Enjoy:


"Ho-ly crap, what on earth are you wearing?"
"Aw, Sook, I feel bad enough."

 

"Seriously. You are wearing khakis. You look cray cray. You're like somebody's mom right now. Please explain this situation."
"My boss said my outfit was too sexy so I had to borrow something from Le Skater Dork over there at the cafe. Jeez, now I owe her one. Oh crap Channel 1 News is here."

 
"Thanks John. Lavita Terrell here at Grandville Park for the annual Summer Festival. Behind me here we have some lovely flowers being sold by local teens Penny and Sooki. Gotta keep them occupied, right folks?

"Cafe Boulanger is here, represented here by responsible teen, Maura [ah! Finally a name!] with their fantastic coffee and delicious pastries.

"Carmen Kirpachi is making a rare appearance, offering tarot, palm and crystal ball readings.

  

 
 "Aria Figueroa is selling an array of perfumes, lotions and other beauty items.

"Scottie-Beth, formerly a pilot for La Sirene airlines, now manning the produce stand we've all come to enjoy in Grandville.

 

"Later today, local rockers, The Vinyls will be playing. So come on down to Grandville park before you miss all the fun!"

Dani and Pia have just been introduced by their sisters and are feeling out the possibilities of friendship.

 
Marisol entered the gypsy's tent but was skeptical, "I don't believe in this stuff. If you're a psychic, what's my name?"
Carmen laughs. "It doesn't exactly work that way, but...I am getting an impression.The sun? The sun and the sea? Sun and sea. Mar y sol."
Marisol is dumfounded. "Okay, let's talk about my future, Madam Carmen."

"Mom, are you going to buy anything or not?"
"Meh, I dunno, what's good?"

Nikki and Judah enter the park.

"I'm so nervous," Nikki says, taking his hand. "I never dress like this. This is very short. This is obscene, I should go change."

"Nonsense. I think you look beautiful. And hot."

 Shameless PDA ensues.

 
"Oh I see Dani over there. Come, I'll introduce you."
 [I love how Nikki looks like she walks like a neanderthal.]

"Oh, look. It's Nikki, Penny notices.
"And Mr. Snow!"

 "Oh hey! Hey, Nikki?"

"Hey, how's it going? Hi Mr. Snow! So...You two, huh?"

"Listen girls," Judah says calmly. "I'd rather you didn't mention this to Raven just yet, okay? Can I ask you to do that?"

 
"What? Totally! It's in the vault! You can trust us! Totally," they both said over each other's words.

 

 

"Yup, we're screwed. You better call your kid."

Okay that's the end of part one folks. More in a few days.

But wait, there's more.

Here's the park from afar. Included because I love when you guys do that. 

And when I was moving dolls around, I saw this:

Interesting....I feel another twist coming on folks! But Lavita will certainly not be into sharing...

 

smooches!
