Steven's New Job Part Two!

The Offices Of WJBS

One more thing about Steven. He is a grandma's boy! So
the first person that he want to tell good news to is his
grandmother.

Steven: Hey Grams, guess what?

Camille: Hey Honey! I sure miss you walking with me on
the beach! What is going on? Is one of your sisters getting
married?

Steven can hear the ocean and birds in the background. He knew
his grandmother was at her favorite spot on the beach!
Steven: No Grams! I'm going to tell them what you said. He he!
I just got a promotion!


That is wonderful honey! You have been working soo hard!
I've shown all my friends the program you did on your
grandfather and me. They think it is wonderful too!


Camille: I 'm doing a special treat for your grandfather
for Valentines Day! He will be flying in this weekend. You
might get an extra story out of it ! He he!


Steven: You guys are worse than mom and dad! I love that
you two still love each other after so many years of marriage!
I sure hope I'll have that too!


Camille: I'm sure you will honey! For every pot there is a lid!
A good marriage needs work! If you don't learn anything
else from us learn that!


Steven: I am writing that down right now! In my new position
I will have my own show. It will be a feature. I will get to pick my
own team. I'm asking for Toure' to work with me! I know how
important it is to have people you can trust around you when
you are doing something this big.

Camille:What about the Gallery?

Steven: I won't forget about the Gallery!
I now how important it is to have something of my own! You taught
me that. I am working those details out. I'll talk to you soon Grams!
I've got to get to work. Love you!



Let's see where Toure' is?


Steven thinks to himself: He must be on a shoot. He isn't picking
up! Steven leave him a message. Hey Toure' man, it's your coz.
Give me a call as soon as you can! It is important. Later!

Toure's phone vibrates in his pocket!


Mean while back at Mr. Kingsley's office....
Harold shows up to do some repairs. Harold has repair
contracts all over town.


Harold: Hey Emily, I have your office on my list today!

Emily: That's great! What do I get?

You get a new headset. It is the state of the art... and


Wow! This is fantastic! I can hear the calls and the
visitors!

A mirrored table and lamp! Now it looks even more classy
in here.


Harold: Alrighty, I going to replace the microwave in
the break room! Take care!


Just then... Cabe the parcel guy shows up!
Cabe:Any packages to go Emily?


Emily: No, not today!
Cabe: Is that a new table?
Emily: Yes!
Cabe:Very nice! OK! See you tomorrow.


As Cabe was leaving, Mrs. Kingsley arrived!
Hello Mrs. Kingsley!
Pamela:Hello Cabe!

Hello Emily, is my husband in?


Emily: Yes, but he is on a conference call.
Pamela: I just wait here and chat with you!
Emily and Pamela got to know each other over the phone when
she was dating Brian Kingsley. Pamela worked the desk at the
Villa in St. Malcolm and would call his office at lunchtime.


Emily: So this is your first winter! Are you ready!

Pamela: I hope so! This is my first time seeing the seasons
change too. It is really beautiful.


Pamela: I purchased a coat and boots! I keep hearing about
these long johns? Are they for women too?
Emily: They have them for women too. It has not been as
cold this year so I don't know if you will need them.
Don't forget gloves!

I thought I heard a familiar voice out here!

Hello honey, I was hoping you could join me for lunch?

Brian: Sound wonderful!
Emily, I have a very important lunch meeting! Hold my calls!


They are soo cute!

SIS Marisa

I just wanted to show you a little of what I have been up to.
Yes, I have been swapping bodies! Well, that is between
preparing to do another post on Steven. So you Steven fans,
stay tuned! I purchased a SIS Marisa last week. For some
reason she wasn't sell in my local WalMart. I didn't need
another doll with this face mold but I did needed a
doll fix so I got her. Those of you who said that her skin tone
was hard to match were right but I did have a Fashion Fever
Teresa body (you know the ones with the short torso) that
matched well.

So here she is on that body. I am going to make her a character
but I'm not sure who. Maybe Etienne's little sister or
Bea's little sister. She is wearing the AA Star Doll dress. I didn't
like it on that doll but it looks cute on her.
I think it is the complexion.

Thank goodness no sidewards glancing eyes!
That is better for me. I'm not A fan of the side glancing
eyes. I have Trichelle heads I need to sell!

What happen to Marisa body? Well as new dolls go, she did
have a bad body. The legs bended and it was not one of those
hollow leg dolls. I found another doll who because of her body
wasn't getting much play time!

Jakks- Jose and The Pussycats Valerie!


She was about the same complexion as Marisa. She had
clothing and shoe limitations because of her body. I do
prefer Mattel bodies and it makes dressing dolls easier!
The belly button body will work for now!

Here she is on her new body. Gone are those sloth feet.


I'll have to find her a new outfit. Bea already has dibs on the
jumpsuit.

She is happy with her new body too!

Bye for now!

Old Photos- My Photo Archives From Before My Blog!

Today I looked at some old disc of photos I have taking over
the years. Most of them fall in the three categories.
Plants/gardening (there are more of them than anything
else.) Family and dolls.

I thought I would show you where I began. Not that I
have come such a long way but I lot of times you don't get to
see the beginning of things. When I started purchasing dolls,
I had doll couples but not families. I purchased guys to go
with girls or visa versa. The Laurents were my first family in
dolly land. (Although it was a while before they got their last
name. )

Here is a picture of KiKi with the first Terrence. I always
saw KiKi's husband having a beard.

He is now Terrence's best friend Menelik, the father of Malik.
I wasn't taking photos with much background back then.

Here is one of the first shots I took of the new Terrence and
KiKi as a couple. I have to give this new Steven doll a beard and
some gray hair.


I really like what I did with him and he inspired a family
and my blog.

As you can see, I even restyled them and took more pictures.
To me, they looked soo cute together. I could see the chemistry
in the photos even with the very poor camera back then!

I knew I wanted the Happy Family Grandparents as his family.
I thought he looked like a combination of their looks.

Did you know that grandpa had dimples? He is the cutest
thing! I knew he would be a pilot and I purchased this uniform
for him.


I did remove some of Grandma's wrinkles. I thought they
went a bit overboard with them.

Here is a shot of the Laurent men! Two are missing. LL and Termaine
are missing.


Above: Terrence, Toure' Steven, Tre' Grandpa Stephan and Terrell.
this is the first group photo I did. It was before I learned to change
the lighting! LOL!

This is I character haven't introduced really yet. I guest It is a preview.

Mean While.....

Mean while over at the college campus, four girls meet at the
Student Union. All four were transfer students and will be sharing
a dorm suite next year. This meeting was planned by email when
the room assignments were posted on the dorm website.

Side note:
This is Phyliss! This is one of her many part-time jobs.



Xia’ was the first to arrive.


Marie saw her sitting there and came over. Marie: Hi, Xia’ right?
I’m Marie. Xia’: Yes, Hi Marie. I guess the others are on their way.


Marie: I’ll take this seat. Xia’ thought Marie looked like fun!
She seemed… as her mother would say-spunky. She had a
great smile. Where are you from?

Bea sashayed in like a model! The two girls turned her
direction. Bea searches their faces as she walked their
way looking for hate. It wasn’t there, just surprise.
Marie had done the southern pageant circuit too long
to let her face give away her smirk. She made her face
blank and smiled. Xia’: Hi! I’m Xia’ and this is Marie.
Bea: Hi, I’m Bea. They both said hello and Xia motion
the seat next to her.

Bea noted that each girl was pretty in very different ways.
She wonders if this was too much beauty for one suite!
Bea: So I guess we are waiting for one more person.


Reecie was the last too arrive. She came from tryouts at
the athletic campus and had to take the bus back to the main
campus. Reecie: Sorry I’m late! She said with a Trinidadian
accent. I had to get the bus after basketball tryouts to get here.

Marie : So you play b-ball. I do too.

Reecie looked at her.
Yes, she was chucky but she had the eye of the tiger
about her. She was not a girl to underestimate!
Reecie: We will have to play

Just then...

He is hot!

Hi Phyliss! What is the soup of the day?
It is chicken noodle Dan.

Reecie: I think it will be interesting going here!

Agreed!

Xia': Alright let's get to it!

Bea: Well...I went by to see the suite, we will all have
our own room but we share the living room, kitchen and
bathroom. Xia’: They let you in? Bea: Well, not exactly. I
talked this guy at the desk into letting me see the room.
The all laughed.


Xia’: A CIA agent in the making. So
what the size of the rooms and the bathroom.

Bea smiled and looked at the rest of the girls. Reecie would
not take too much bathroom time. She could tell she was a
"minimalist". The other two, like her, would want bathroom
time. Bea: The rooms are a good size. The bathroom isn’t
too bad either but the living room and kitchen seems
small.

Xia’: So who is bringing what?

Reecie could tell that Xia’ was a down to business
kind of girl and she liked that.
Reecie: I am coming from Trinidad, so I’m not
lugging a lot on the plane. I will just bring clothes and
my ipod. I might buy a few things to add to the place.

They stayed about an hour working out some of the
details of their living arrangements!
