After too long a time, I finally got into the doll room to catch up---honestly all the dolls were still in summer clothes...mostly because we had 80's in October here in Chicagoland and even high 70's in November.
Of course shopping at Vickie's is totally necessary for the Gals and Guys, too.

Zoe is waiting on two special ladies, who are both about to go to a fun event at Navy Pier. Even if they are 'old' girls...they are dressing for a rocking time.

Lavender: I will say this is a great shop!
Brunette: I still think this outfit is a bit racy...but I am a Repro...so technically I can wear anything...old or new.

Outside waiting at Barbie and Ken's backyard, Genevieve: I think this is a perfect dress for dancing past Midnight.
Lavender: Well no time to waste, our Uber will be here in 5 min.
Brunette: I wish I had brought a coat, this skirt is definitely air-conditioned.
