The Twins Lisa and Keisha

The Twins!
Here is the other Laurent sibling that you have not met.


Keisha and Lisa. They are fraternal twins. Maybe it was
because there were two of them or maybe is was because
they are so vivacious but ever since they were born they
really turned up the volume and excitement in the
Laurent home. These two really love color but in
different ways.


Lisa is the oldest by two minutes! she really loves
colorful makeup. She went to school to be a
makeup artist. She is the more outgoing of the two.


Keisha is the younger of the two. She is taller and and
a little heavier. she loves wearing colorful clothing.
Sometimes little too colorful. Keisha went to secretarial
school. She is not as outgoing as her sister. She is very
honest and trusting. Lisa and the rest of their sibling are
always making sure that Keisha isn't taken advantage
of. Keisha can also be stubborn.

They are very close as most twins are. They are also
close with their brother Tre'.

My Next Project!

The Laurent Family Home
Test Shots!

My next project is the Laurent family home. It will be the
scene of many other posts, so I need to get it right. Since
KiKi and her husband Terrence are from tropical climates,
KiK from Rouba and Terrence from St, Malcolm, their home
needs to have a tropical feel.

I am still working on the Ancestor's room also but now I am
taking some test shot of the family room. It is the hub
of the Laurent family home and it is a high traffic area. It
has to be big enough for many of the family members to
be in it at one time. The Laurents have grown children living
with them. This is a part of both their cultures to do so.
So there are many adults
living in the house.


KiKi loves earth tones and that is reflected in many areas of
the house. When the family room is finished I will introduce
other members of the family that haven't made the blog yet.
I am post these shot for feed back. I want to know what
you think? How large should the room be? What do you
think of the colors? Does it need something else in it?


I got this shelve and the rust vase at my favorite thrift store
for 4.oo total. I knew they would go well with the look.


Unforturnately I tried to put furniture polish on it to close to
the time I was taking pictures. once it dries it should all be an
even tone. Next time I will use a pait brush to do it. It will go
on more even that way. Right now there ar light and dark
areas.



A little seating area.



African elephant.


Morroccan sofa.


Roubian chests and honey wine pot.



Gardening hat. Nothing here is permanent. The pillows will
be sewn when I am sure they are staying.

African zebra.


I purchase this zebra for the Laurent home but my husband
thinks that it should be for him. The zebra commentates
Dancing with the Stars and American Idol (I don't know
about that man sometimes!)

Princess Kidagakash 'Kida' Nedakh

Princess Kida



I purchase this doll two years ago in a thrift store but I
didn't know who she was. I purchased her loose with
her original outfit without shoes and other accessories
I liked her! It is so unusual to see long gray hair on
people (most seem to cut it short). It is even more
unusual to see in on a doll (I think it is gray and not
platinum). I liked her face but not the eye color
(purple) so I changed that first. They are now black.
Now, at least to me, she looks better. She also has a
long neck. It is a little longer that most Barbie dolls.
It made her look elegant. Her body reads Disney. I
looked her up. She is for the Movie Atlantis: The Lost
Empire. I remember seeing the male figure, Milo in the
stores but not her. There is debate as to if she should
be included in with the Disney Princesses. I didn't see
the movie, nor do I see the importance of her being a
Disney Princess. Aren't we all princesses? (Hold your
crown and nod your head!)



She has a stone at the collar bone. This made me want to
find a new body for her (I didn't think I would find a body
with that kind of neck though) but I could never find one
the right complexion. For me it was easier to just cover her
up for now.

I tried a few outfits on her but none worked. I remember
that I had seen a women with gray hair wearing purple so,
I found the only thing I had in purple. I was a snake skin
halter top with matching pants.




I think they look good together. She is a stylish older woman.

She looked sort of like Donatella Versace! Then that is what
she will be, a hot trend setting older woman rocking her gray
hair! Met Viki Laurent-Thompson, wife mother and
businesswoman.
