Midge: Well, it's cooler here than our apartment, and I think we are all going to dinner.

barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Alan: It's not too hot to go home... and the house is empty.
Midge: Well, if there was room in that pool....(chuckle) maybe. Sit down and maybe you will cool off!
barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Alan: Just keep that in mind..
barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Richelle: So what are we doing for dinner?
Chris: It's still too hot to eat...maybe if it cools off. It's still 85 at 6:30. There's chips and popcorn.
barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Teresa: Thanks for having me, this was fun, but I have to get work. I've got a special story on the 10 o'clock news.
Barbie: Go for it, and that suit is fabulous
barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Barbie: You know boys will be boys.
Teresa: Somethings will never change. (sigh)
barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Barbie: Ken, Rob....??? Haven't you ever seen a swimsuit?!
barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Really......?????
Rob: Um, I was admiring the hat...
Ken: Errrr...Great shoes. Isn't she on the news, Dear?
oldnewgreenredo |
Midge: When do boys grow up?
Richelle: Thankfully never, but hopefully maybe a little bit in time.
Chris: How many years do we have. Oh, well, it's so hot. I think I will go in the pool.
barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Barbie: Teresa really does have a great figure.
Trish: Well, your suit fills out pretty well...(snort) Besides, they're talking about football...now anyway. They have attention spans of gnats.
barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Barbie, I've been waiting all day to get in here.
Chris: The water is divine...and this strawberry thing is great.
Trish...Totally nummy!
barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Richelle, anyone else need a drink refresh?
barbieoldnewgreenredo |
All the adults have an assortment of libations....and frothy drinks.
barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Rob (left): That was the best play ever in NorthWestern history, but...
Ken: He missed it....jeesh!
Ryan: So where are we going for dinner? ( I skipped lunch, darn it!)
barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Typical, the guys are together and the girls are still gabbing.
barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Midge lets out a long appreciative sigh.......
Ken: Hey Midge, something wrong?
Midge smugly: "Just staring at your FINE Bootay", she sighs.
barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Wolf Whistles and Cackling from the pool!
Ken: What the....?
barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Midge: So how does it feel to just become an object....just a 'bootay!'
barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Ken: (Hmmm, hot tempered and hot temperatures). Okay, I get the point...thanks for the HR lesson.
Midge: Anytime, Dr. Ken, you should know better and pass it on to your cohorts over there, please.
barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Alan: She has a point you know.
Rob: I plead innocent, I can't see past 5 feet without my glasses, Teresa was just this fabulous orange blur with a great voice.
Ken: Yea, Tangerine dreams, no....uh...lovely, talented, lady.
Ryan: What ARE you guys mumbling about?
Ken: Are you just married or dead, Ryan?
(Laughter)
Barbie: What are they laughing about. You know, I have the teensiest little bikini I use for sunning, which would just
BLOW THEY TEENY BRAINS OUT!
Trish: (laughing) Now, is that really Fairplay!???

Fun scene! I love the adult beverages, would love to find some. Also still can't get over the backdrop, it's fab. I'm with the dolls, it has been waaaaay too hot out so far this summer! Stay cool:@)
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn, I double checked an ordered from Temu but they are out of stock from the vendor I ordered from. IF you DO
Deleteorder from them to through paypal or another paying service and not directly through your own credit card. I've ordered quite a few things from them.. on mini's you really have to watch the size, and make sure it isn't dollhouse scale and tiny, otherwise good service 90% of the time.
Barbie seems to be having a better Summer than I am, I'm envious. *LOL*
