OPENING NIGHT at the HAUNTED DUNGEON!
It was a lot of work for the girls to set up a third floor (basement of Vickie's Vintage) and call it the Dungeon!

Grizella: Look if you must, but don't touch....Ehhhhahahhahhahha, unless you must.
 |

Grizella: Don't mind my friend Frank...but he is watching you...beware!

Faizah:(muffled through the mandatory mask) This is gorgeous, so delicate---I have to have this.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
El: I'll be happy to take it to the register so you can look around!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Miniver(R): Could you put this up at the register, please...it's so cute!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Faizah: Oh this would be a perfect belt without the spider...please!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Ella: I had no idea you would have so much ....we are having a Halloween Party at the Grand View---I need to find something to wear?
Elise: (L) Well, I'm sure you will find something here!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Ella: Could you hide this, it's for Callie...I know she will love it. I want to shiop some more!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Colette(Callie): I go by Callie now, my Paris days are long gone. How is almost married life treating you---with Monsieur Henri.
Emilie: Mon cher ami, very fine. We are as you say her, like podded peas. And, you with Gerard?
Callie:(cringes) Well, Mama is certainly enjoying your share of the the condo. She has Opal and I stuffed in that small bedroom. I miss you---you were a very good friend. Gerard is Gerry, and his usual self. But, he managed to get me a contract for some background singing for commercials...I can't wait for the pandemic to end, so I can perform again...soon!

Callie: (hmmm, these are all so pedestrian...I have to think of something outstanding, out of this world, so I can be 'noticed' again. Sigh....)

Callie: OH, MY! Scary Spice boots...they are a little worn---YES, this is a start for the GrandView Party!

Henri (L): Hello, haven't I seen you at the GrandView.
Cal: Why, yes, I'm staying with a friend while they finish the sixth floor. I've taken a studio up there in the clouds. It should have a great view of the park.
