Barbie: Okay, make sure you clean up the table before playing your game.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Rob: Fantastic, another Touchdown.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

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! 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

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.

 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

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.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

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.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

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.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

So, Skipper it's your turn...you have to beat six flashes.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Skipper: Here goes!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Melissa: Keep Going!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

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.)

Jennifer and one of the Skarsgaards!

Jennifer: "I hate when the guy has a better chest than I do!!!"

Just some fun---phew, this is really the best the gang can look. 

I don't exactly go in for shopping for gowns or jewels. 

And my guys are more comfortable in sweats or jeans. 

But, it is fun to pretend...and get all dolled up!

Are your dolls having fun at the Oscars or the after-parties!!!

Diorama materials:

5 pieces of red felt-one used for covering the doll's stands, removable painters tape, Florist's foil for wall, clear glue, 1 sheet foam core---That's it. One daylight bulb and an adjustable light.

Dolls are all mine, most are thrift store rescues. Most clothing is vintage, and mixed sources.

Post Holiday in the HFIM house!

AD-FREE-Blog

HFIM House--Home for Impoverished Millennials is a combined townhouse/and Victorian mansion being refurbished by 16 (at the moment) Millennials. By contributing work, money, and expertise they pool together their resources and live on the far north side of the Loop, bus stop one block away--and in a neighborhood going through revitalization. Back to our running storylines.

Post holidays, it's 2 AM and Patrick (bar manager) comes home to the HFIM house. Barbie and Chelsea have just arrived from California and Disneyland from their 3 week vacation.

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

Patrick: Hey, Squirt and hi, Barbie. Looks like you had a great time, tans and everything.

Chelsea: Sure was fun, Patrick.

Patrick: Boy, your dog missed you, she didn't steal my shoes once this week.

Chelsea: I know...she won't stop licking me! I'm pooped and going to bed.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Chelsea: Stop licking me---I missed you, too. Yawwwnnnn. I can't wait to get in bed.

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

(Patrick rides the elevator up to his room, and drops off suitcases for the girls. Soft snorts and snores come from the bunkbeds. And a goan?)

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

Foofie: My small human is finally home. (sigh). And, no more waiting! (sigh).

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

(Back downstairs Rory stirs up a bunch of fried Italian sausage and onions for tomorrows supper.)

Rory: I can't wait to tell you----I got the understudy part of Belle in Beauty and the Beast at Drury Lane. Rehearsals start tomorrow. 

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

Barbie: That's super----a big break, what other part will you be playing, and what did you do to your hair?

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

Rory: The director gave me a choice of dying my hair or cutting it so, I can get it all under a wig. Small price to pay. I hope this is short enough. And I have No.2 in the chorus and I have a few bars of vocals, all alone. I'm so excited.

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

Rory: But it means, someone will have to take over food prep when we have night performances and those days I have matinees. I can still do all the ordering. 

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

Barbie: Wow, so much happening. Did you all have a great Christmas? And, what is that in the backyard?

Midge: Christmas was GREAT. But...Well, Aidan and Stuart gave each other skateboards and a ramp. At the Christmas party, Stuart took a bad fall, but was okay.

Barbie: Well, boys will be boys. It doesn't look that high?

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

Midge: WELLLLLL, this morning Stuart was trying to do a flip and broke his ankle! And guess who got to set his leg. Ken----he's on his ER rotation at the hospital. Stuart is upstairs in the guys room, cause the basement apartment has stairs.

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

Upstairs, Patrick checks on Stuart who is moaning in his sleep!

Patrick: Hey, Stu...how you doing? Do you need anything?

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

Stuart: Okay, I'm okay. Just took a pain pill.

Patrick: Well, just yell if you need anything? Nite! 

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

Rory: So, I don't know when I will be home tomorrow---so just add spaghetti sauce to the sausage and boil up some spaghetti. There's only supposed to be 11 or maybe 12---depending on if Stuart is okay to eat. I cut up all the salad veggies, and there's boiled greenbeans in the fridge. I hope this can be worked out. This is my first real job other than painting scenery at the Goodman and singing at the bar for Patrick.

Barbie: Sure, I will make sure someone does it. I don't know if I will be around, I have a meeting with Lara and Sindy at 4 PM about a space in the Hotel project. Maybe the boys can do some cooking?

Rory: Hmmm, maybe Nemo---he's done with football now, except for weight training. He should be home by 5-ish. 

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

Midge: Really? The boys cooking, I hope our fire insurance is paid up. 

Barbie: Boiling spaghetti, isn't rocket science. You have to have more faith, lol. And I will check on the insurance. Ryan should have sent out all the payments last week.

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

Barbie: Aw, Foofie...good dog.

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

Barbie: Just a kiss from your big Sis. Sweet dreams, Chelsea. 

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

Barbie: (Crawling into bed thinks-I hope I brought a little magic back from Disneyland, replacing Rory in the kitchen will be hard. Sigh......when you wish upon a star......dreams come true.) Night, night, house. Let's hope so.
