Chris and Barbie try to say goodbye to the guys....no luck

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Chris: Maybe we can get their attention through the window? 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Barbie: If it wasn't so cold, I'd strip and try and to get their attention! 

Chris: They really are hopeless!

After class the girls head toward Vickie's Vintage.
Trish: Hi, ladies...anything I can help you with in the Flower shop or greenhouse?

Chris: Not today, I REALLY need some boots...wow, did you clear all the snow yourself.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Trish: It's not too bad, the concrete heats up and we haven't had that much snow this week. Good Luck shopping, Vickie's is always great. Don't forget Valentines' Day for your guys.

Barbie: Well, if you have some flowers shaped like footballs, I'll be back.

(chortling) 
Trish: My dad and brother are the same, can't pry them away from the tv this time of year.

Chris: Sis, are you going to look for anything...?

Barbie: Um, maybe some shoes for Chelsea, but it is hard if she's not here to try them on.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Barbie: I do have a coupon I could use????Hmm, lots of great things on this rack.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Chris: This turquoise jacket is gorgeous.

Chris: Look at these Pink boots, I don't know which I like better?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

I'll have to get some help!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: Well, two of these are your size...do you want to try them both?

Chris: Oh Yes, Please!
barbieoldnewgreenredo

These are perfect for shoveling the driveway. But, not really great for show or going out?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: These would be perfect at the mall, or the dance floor and in your size.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Chris: Thanks for your help, I'll wear the galosh boots, can you wrap those up though, please.

Vickie: Of course, anything else we can show you?

Chris: No, I'm in enough trouble now.

Zoe from upstairs: Barbie, Chris, let's do lunch this week!

Girls: Sounds Good, stunning outfits up there!!!

Meanwhile back at Chris and Rob's home.

Skipper: Here goes!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Melissa: Keep Going!

Suddenly Grumpy cat reaches up and hits the keyboard 9 times in a row. 

The girls give up and go upstairs. 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Grumpy Cat: (Sore loosers). 

Foofie: (I don't care, they left behind tasty sandwiches.)

Dressing for Holiday Parties!

 Ad-Free Blog


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.
