Marie-Louise is cooking our dinner. I was giving her directions in French. They don't speak English and mon français est trés perfectible (needs much improvement)! All the same, it turned out quite well.
After dinner it was time for presents...lots of presents! But you won't get to see them all because if I showed everything this post would be about 50 meters long.
Marie-Louise didn't know what to think of this doll when she unwrapped it. I warned her that it was a Rainbow Brite doll that was not like the others. Her mom is pointing out the rainbow colors in the black fabric. In the lower center is an MIB USA RB doll to go with the European and Canadian dolls she got for Saint Nicolas day in December.
And a loose one to go with it that she could play with. It also had a lot of extra clothes.
A precious moment.
She really loves her new 47 cm/18 inch Dress Up Rainbow Brite doll! The magic of the original Blondine continues to this day. And it will never stop.
And they each got their very own Tagada or Starlight; which is one of their favorites in the RB line. Mom got the European version and Marie-Louise got the USA version. They also got lots of other stuff, not all of it related to the rainbow. We've been friends for over ten years. I've known Marie-Louise since they brought her home from the hospital over nine years ago. They used to live in the apartment below mine but now they have a small house just up the street.
Afterwards, they went upstairs to see the new arrivals in the Blondine Museum. They are the only people besides myself who have ever visited it in person.
In case you are wondering, that large Dress Up Rainbow Brite doll was made by none other than Jazzycreations. I found the fabric and told her what I wanted the clothes to look like and she took care of the rest, which included a new body.
