So random, September/October '25

Ah, my favorite two months have come and gone!  July and August were dynamic and a little depressing, while September and October have been pretty chill.  I got all of my cats moved over to Casa Pizarro, and as a result I no longer have to worry about driving two miles in ice storms or driving rain or God knows what kind of weather to care for them.  See, I had been waiting for our handyman to build a fence so they could all go outside, but Mama wanted a patio instead so we've got that (the cats are all indoor anyway).  The transition has not been smooth; the girl cats all hiss and glare at each other, Adric hasn't come out of hiding since I brought him over, and Tommy went missing on the 29th.  Turns out the little devil was trapped in a pile of laundry; by nightfall he'd freed himself and was back to his old self.  Oh, and my surviving parakeet, Shirley?  I got a brand-new cage for her, new toys and everything, and I went to get her out of the old cage and found her dead.  So now I've got a nice new cage, a nice new travel cage, toys and seed and cuttlebone and everything, and no bird to use it.  Yet.  Mama says that we can get some new birds when we're done moving everything else around, so the cage won't go to waste.  Nor will Shirley's old cage; I plan to sterilize it and get some zebra finches.  Mama is very fond of zebra finches, and frankly, so am I.

Alrighty, first image is on August 31st.

Rita Cheryl and Silver Bird strike a pose.  As I discussed not too long ago, they're both ready for fall, and indeed fall is now in full swing.  I've experienced colder Halloweens, but this one today isn't exactly swim weather.

September 2nd.  I found two fall dresses in Chatty Cathy's wardrobe, and I dressed her in one of them.

Usually we have a mini-summer in September, but it was still so mild on September 2nd that I started to wonder if this fall would be different.  The heat broke back on August 19th, and it hadn't cranked up by the 2nd!  Not that I missed it, LOL!  Y'all will get to see Cathy's other dress later; it's a smidge more appropriate for Halloween.

September 7th.  I was gearing up for Monst and Amooooore Doll reviews and had to move these two.  Big surprise, I pushed the reviews back.

They look funny peeking out of my walker bag.

September 8th.  A new arrival and an old one.

I'd planned on introducing Dell to her pen pal Mosi, but Cotton Candy Mia met her first.  The two made very fast friends; note that Mia is wearing Dell's charm bracelet. 

September 12th.  Head shot of my new-to-me B.F.C. Ink doll, Kaitlin.  She too will be getting a review...in the spring.

Back when this blog was young, I moved Heaven and Earth to find a B.F.C. Ink doll to fill out an outfit I'd bought on sale.  My search was fruitless and I forgot in time, and then I remembered, LOL.  Kaitlin is the result.  Mama is very fond of Kaitlin, by the way. 

September 14th.  Kaitlin strutted her stuff as best she could.

Later B.F.C. Ink dolls were jointed all over, but my doll is a first wave doll and is only jointed at the knees.  There are a number of other quirks about Kaitlin's jointing that I'll discuss when I review her...and that's not scheduled until next March.

By September 15th I already had Kaitlin out of her stock clothes and into her secondary outfit.

I love how the hat makes her eyes pop.  I wish she had something on her neck, though; a big neckline like that always looks good with a necklace or a scarf.  I'll see what I can do...

September 26th, Failbook memory from 2018.

I think this may be the first picture I got of Freya.

September 30th.  Cloe accompany me to work.

Cloe is small and easy to carry, so I may make her the blog mascot.  Jade was and still is my favorite of the Bratz dolls, but this Cloe reminds me of all that was good during my adolescence.  Capri pants, high heels that were both cute and comfortable, and cheap lip gloss that smelled nice and had glitter in it...LOL, kinda dated now, but I had a heckuva lot of fun.  Now I just wear whatever's clean and comfortable.

I must say, Cloe is photogenic even when her hair's not doing what I want it to do.  But then that's the case with a great many of my dolls.

Yep, that's our side-view mirror she's in!  I've never done that with a doll before.

October 3rd it was Lorifina's turn to go for a drive.

Lori fits nicely into my walker bag, despite her long legs.  She's not as compact as some of my other dolls, but getting her oot and aboot was small potatoes.  Even so, I only took her to Sonic, LOL.

October 7th. 

When I get bitten by the Bratz bug I rediscover the Bratzillaz all over again.  Believe it or not, I tend to forget that I have these, even though they're jointed and have striking eyes (note how Jade's eyes seem to glow).  Even though the Bratzillaz are fairly flagrant rip-offs of both LIV and Monster High, I like 'em a lot.  They're characters.

October 13th.  My resident brown-eyed redheads strike a pose.  Both of them are new-to-me.

Y'all have met Billie (twice), and the other doll is Zelia, a Hearts for Hearts Girl.  I have Dell waiting in the wings too, because I love H4H Girls' bright eyes and shiny hair.  But then Billie's eyes are nothing to sneeze at either.  Nor is her hair.

October 14th.  Two of Treesa's Build-a-Bears, Raina and Hal.

I love these Build-a-Bears!  They're unfortunately quite addictive. 

October 18th.

This shows San Juan Carmen and Kaitlin together.  I thought I'd have Carmen's review ready by now, but obviously I don't.  I was trying to pound home the point that Carmen is not terribly attractive, but spoilers, I'd already pounded home the point so I edited this out.

October 19th.  Treesa requested a picture of Danica and Billie together since they both have freckles and short red hair.  I thought it was a good idea.

It was cool enuff for fall clothes by the nineteenth, but Billie's new things weren't in yet.  More spoilers, her ensemble (and Camille's) are full-tilt winter garb rather than fall, but then temperatures last night fell into the high thirties, so it's all good.

October 30th, after a week of moving cats from Point A to Point B.  A girl on my favorite Cabbage Patch group said she missed me, so I shared my It Girls.

Christa loves Beryl June on the left, and I think it was another C name that loves Candela Laura.  Said Candela was her dream Jesmar.  Said dream Jesmar just fell into my lap pretty much, so I told her to keep her ears to the surface, and if I ever decide to do a Cabbie cull she'll be the one who gets Candela Laura.  Christa, same goes for you.  If I have to start giving them away you get Beryl June, hands down.

I've actually thought about that, believe it or not.  Let's be honest, some of our dolls are special and we want someone to take extra care of them if something happens to us.  I don't have my wishes in paper, but I plan on divvying some of my things up in case the Big C or some other terrible illness signs my death warrant, or if I decide on a whim to drop the doll hobby (highly unlikely).  Tam gets Sandy McCall, that much is certain, Christa gets Beryl June (and possibly Rita Cheryl if she wants her), and the other lady on Failbook gets Candela Laura.  So if I have anything that you want willed to you, speak up and I'll make a note of it.  Don't worry, I'm fine right now!  I just want to have my little ducks in order...just in case.  'Cause sadly, you never know.

And with that happy thought I bid y'all a cheerful adieu until this evening.  Some of my dolly children are dressed up for Halloween and I want to share.

Hugs,

If it's not too early for Disney then it's not too early for me

Walt Disney World kicks off Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Bash today (it'll run until Halloween proper).  I can only imagine how those cast members must feel in those Halloween costumes, particularly when August is so cotton-pickin' hot!  But then again, a lot of those cast members have to run around in full-body costumes anyway, folks like Mickey and Minnie and Donald and Goofy, so it's hot 100% of the time.  Still, I hope they'll be okay!  Heatstroke and heat exhaustion are no joke (I've had the latter).  But either way, Halloween Season has begun at Disney World, and if it's not too early for them then I can do it too.  Halloween is Mama's favorite holiday, and she...well, she's bought one little Halloween-themed outfit so far.  Exhibit A.

Silver Bird is already ready to hit the streets and gather some candy!  She's even got her little bucket, which the sticker says came from Oriental Trading Company.

Oh Lordy, I used to love Oriental Trading Company catalogs.  I look back on it all and realize that most of it was just junk that could clutter up a kid's room, but to my child's eye it was TREASURE!!!  A lot of the Halloween stuff glowed in the dark, so I always loved those catalogs the best.

Rita Cheryl is a little more understated than Silver Bird, but she too is ready for the oncoming fall, and the blazing weather that will inevitably come before Halloween gets here.

I do have a jacket and footwear for her to wear when it does turn cold, but for now Rita Cheryl is happy as a lark without all the frippery.

Of course no post of mine is complete without a Cabbage Patch Kid.  Mama got this for my Kids, and I promptly assigned it to Idalia Gale.

There's always gotta be one in the mix who WILL.  NOT.  wear a dress, and for me that someone is Idalia Gale.  Oh, she'll wear dresses when I push the issue, but it's like pulling teeth without anesthesia.  Idalia Gale is a jeans-and-overalls Kid, full stop.

Going a size down now, I have a Halloween-themed outfit for So Surprised Suzie around here somewhere (always somewhere!), but because I'm so organized I can't find it.  Never fear, I've had this outfit waiting since last winter.

There's always something available for a Baby Face doll if you know where to look, and not to brag, but I know where to look.  This particular dress is an eBay find, from Luvable Creations.

This next doll is a new face to the blog.  She's Lorifina, though I call her Lori.

Lorifina dolls came in simple little sleepwear, and items for this doll can still be found on eBay, but a healthy cottage industry also exists for this doll, and that's what this is here.  The eBay shop is dea850, and most of the items in this ensemble are handmade.  The shoes are not handmade, being Lorifina-brand shoes.

Pretty sweet kicks, I must say.  These slid onto Lori's feet with zero fuss, by the way.  Lori has sizeable feet, and the openings to the shoes looked kinda small, but they gap open enuff that I had no trouble getting these on her.  

From the very tall to the very small, here's another new face.  Meet My Mini Baby!  Ayla Diamond is her name.  Ayla...I've got another Ayla in my collection, but don't tell the Baby Name Genie that.  I like the name Ayla anyway, so I can live with having two.  Here's the new Ayla; she looks nothing like Big Ayla.  My Mini Babies have sweet little faces...but they're all asleep!

Yeah, I ripped Miss Emily's blog off again, name generator and all.  She recently talked about tiny blind-bag silicone babies (posts HERE and HERE), and when she mentioned that Etsy has a thriving market for clothes, I was sold.  Most of the items for these dolls are crocheted, and I love tiny things that are crocheted.  Crocheting something that small is NOT easy; I've tried it and it made my hands and eyes ache.  This little outfit came from PaulasCrochetArmoire.  As an aside, the Star Babies in the second post are WAAAAY more expensive than My Mini Baby, but the only way they're superior is in the name (I think they're also handmade, so that's something).  Staaaaarrr baby, flashy little shiny little lovin' machine!  LOL, I freaking love the Guess Who.

Ahem...not all of my kids are getting ready for falling leaves, fun-size M&M's, and pumpkin spice lattes.  Summer Daisy is ready to soak up some rays.

Thank you again, Treesa!  She said she wanted to get that little outfit to me before summer ended, and she succeeded!  Maybe that little outfit would look better on a neutral-colored critter like Flaxie, but I STILL haven't found Flaxie!!!  The pink provides a nice contrast to Summer Daisy's fur anyway.  As an aside...have y'all seen this year's Build-a-Bear Halloween cats?  They are ADORABLE!!!  One of 'em has ghosts printed on its fur.

Mia isn't really dressed for fall either, but she and the next two dolls look so cute that I wanted to include them.  I guess frogs can be for early fall, since they're still hollering on warm nights.

There's a story behind this outfit, one that shows that our local postal service still has problems.  I ordered this super-cute little outfit for Cinnamon, one that mixed go-go dancers and tie-dying, and IT.  NEVER.  CAME.  The tracking number said "delivered," but I never got my cute little outfit.  So, not wanting to give the shop a bad review for something that was out of their hands, I messaged them and they offered me my choice of the other outfits.  I picked the frog dress above, as it was the same price as the lost dress and since Mia needed something nice and new (Cinnamon didn't).  We see the result!  The eBay shop is called Park Ave Doll Clothes, and they have a nice selection of items for a number of vintage dolls that aren't the easiest to clothe.  They've even got some things for my buddy Sasha.

Lastly, here's two more of my Cabbage Patch Kids, Rowena Skylar and the beloved Candela Laura.

As usual, these were gifts from Mama.  Candela Laura's set has Peppa Pig and Rowena Skylar's set has brightly colored insects.  More springtimey, these colors are, but my cares are nigh next to zero.  By the way, remember when I told y'all that Beryl June (one of my double popcorns) has a fan?  Candela Laura does too; a friend on Failbook told me that Candela Laura was her dream Jesmar.  I have seen a couple'a Jesmars that look a lot like Candela Laura does, so if my friend looks hard enuff she should be able to find one.  Candela Laura kinda just fell in my lap...but then so did Rowena Skylar, LOL!

The jumble of colors and themes doesn't matter too much since fall is a mixed bag in the Bootheel anyway.  Some years it stays hot until the middle of November, and another year it snowed in early October.  Still other years have seen the temperatures see-saw wildly, with a wave of severe weather accompanying each swing.  Last fall was very wet, thanks to Hurricanes Francine and Helene.  Seriously, Helene didn't cause my area anywhere near as much trouble as she did Appalachia, and she was STILL a doozie!  I hope it's a long time before the country has another terrible storm like that.  I wouldn't mind a nice long soaking rain though, as the crops are starting to need it.  Speaking of hurricanes...here's Erin's baby picture, taken on the 11th. 

Not gonna lie, this hurricane has me concerned.  She formed in the Cape Verde area, where some of the worst hurricanes form, and she's got nothing but the wide open sea in front of her.  Those waters are warm, perfect for Erin to grow.  So we'll see what happens.  As for me and for much of the east-central part of the U.S., the weekend and the bulk of next week are looking to be hotter than the hinges of hell.  We're not quite to "Everyone in McKinney is dead" mode, but we'll be close.

ALICE UPDATE:  My resident black widow has had a third clutch of babies, and I've seen her oot and aboot a couple'a times, but no more pictures so far.  Alice hides when I come around, and I can't say that I blame her.  I'd hide too if something a trillion times my size looked at me.  But Alice is alive and well, still spry, still beautiful, still nimble as a jackrabbit.

Sunny love,

Fall WILL come!

Or at least I keep telling myself that.  A cold front came through Thursday night and it's nowhere near as hot as it was on Tuesday.  So fall eventually will come...oh Lord, it had better!!!  Anyway, Mama got these cute little outfits for me, and the fabric on the little dresses got me to thinkin' about fall.

These are a size that I've never owned before; American Girl sadly doesn't make separate clothes for its mini dolls, but Etsy does.  That's what these are.  I have several of these mini dolls, but at the moment the only one within arm's reach is Silver Bird's doll, Maryellen Larkin.

I love Maryellen.  Jus' sayin'.  So let's see how these look on her.  Dress #1 is cream-colored with flowers, leaves, and an orange sash.

The lace looks more like something Josefina might wear.  This fits Maryellen like a dream, but the ribbon is a smidge big and a smidge long.  I also wish I'd switched her hair bow out, but the only bow I have for Maryellen right now is the one she's wearing.

Dress #2 is burgundy with sunflowers and black and white checks.  It ties at the waist and at the neck with matching ribbons.

Again, I think the ribbons are too big, but anything smaller likely would've made the ties hard to do up.  And hard to sew too, for that matter.  I love the print on this dress, though!  Sunflowers are a summer thing, but overall this dress looks very autumnal.

The dresses are more my speed, and they're more like what Maryellen probably would wear most of the time, but the blue jeans are what Silver Bird is dying to see.

Yeah, that's definitely more what Silver Bird would wear.  She's always preferred jeans and shorts to dresses, and like me she projects herself onto her dolls.  Maryellen doesn't mind; like my dolls, she's just pleased to have something new to wear.  

Somewhere along the way I removed the extra rubber band from Maryellen's hair, and that allowed Silver Bird to hold her doll close.

I love it when I can get my dolls to do that!  I wish that more of 'em could cradle their dolls in one arm, the way I did when I could carry my dolls around, but can't have everything!

Maryellen's new clothes were supplied by GumbieCatDollClothes on Etsy, and by my mama.  Who else?  Gumbie Cat also makes clothes for Kruselings and Lottie, and other small dolls and stuffed animals.  I also saw a few things for full-sized American Girls, but for the most part it's all about the small dolls.  Suits me.

Cordially yours,

The big four

For classic rock fans the term "the big four" refers to the first four British bands to make it big in the U.S.:  the Beatles, the Who, the Stones, and the Kinks.  I like all four of those bands and thus refer to the big four often, but when one is a hardcore American Girl fan there's a different kind of big four.  For some reason these four are held in higher regard than most.  #2 and #4 are on the top row, and #11 and #15 are on the bottom.

By luck of the draw I have #15 and #4, better known to me as Jettivee and Silver Bird.

I understand why AG collectors scrabble for a first-issue #6 since those are rare, and I think I can also fathom why #4 is special since her head is unique.  But the other three...believe y'all me, I mean no hate at all towards these dolls, but I do wonder why collectors seem to love them.  When one pops up on the Failbook group I'm in everyone goes nuts.  These dolls have a lot in common, I'm noticing; they're all brown-eyed brunettes, and none of 'em are white.  Both Silver Bird and Jettivee LOOK fair-skinned in my pictures, but believe y'all me, they're not white dolls.  Jettivee is dusky, and Silver Bird has a golden cast.

None of 'em had short runs either.  All four dolls were released in 1995 and all four were available for over a decade.  #15 had the shortest run (she was discontinued in 2007) and #2 had the longest (she was retired in 2012).  Compare that to #48, who was released in 2009 and retired in 2012 and is also something of a unicorn for some collectors.  Based on all that I'm wondering why these particular four send American Girl collectors into a collective tizzy.  They're cute dolls, no question, but then so are the ones available for purchase now.

As for me myself, I'm glad that I've got Silver Bird and Jettivee in my bunch, but I won't turn my nose up at either #2 or #11 if they should appear for a good price.  Jeez, I'm such a glutton!  

Love to all,

Halloween 2022

Amelia and Rita Cheryl don't have costumes at the moment, but they can still dress up cute!

Rita Cheryl is actually wearing Luciana's new coat instead of her own, but as we'll soon see, Luciana is wearing something else.  Now to the costumes.  C'mon, y'all know I've always got someone dressed up!  In her spotlight post Marina stated that she wanted to be a mermaid for Halloween.  Welp, I made it happen!  It cost way more than I should ever spend on doll clothes, but I regret nothing.

This is the oft-derided Sparkling Mermaid costume, available from 1998 to 2000.  It was always one of my favorite costumes; the other options back then were sock hopper, hippie, cowgirl, black cat, and princess, and the mermaid seemed (to me, at least) to be the most original.  Even today I don't see many mermaids among real-life Trick-or-Treaters.  This outfit seems to be unpopular among other AG fans, and...well, I guess I can see why, since it's not the most flattering getup in the world.  It's kind of hard to move Marina around in it too.  Sitting her down was an effort, for example, though that's not easy anyway since she's a young doll and thus a tightly strung one.  I was able to sit Marina down, though, so it is possible. 

I also had a difficult time placing the wrap as it's quite long, but luckily for me the AG wiki has some instructions for tying Josefina's rebozo.  I chose one of those methods for getting the wrap on Marina, and it works fair enuff, though the ends still drag on the ground.

Loop around the waist, cross the ends in back, bring the ends over her shoulders and tuck them in.  Reasonably easy, though it does hide some of the cute sea critters on the wrap.  The seahorse is visible here, for example, but the orange starfish on the right is all but invisible.

These critters are ON THERE, by the way!  When I was a little kid I presumed that they were sewn on to the wrap, just like a trio of plastic perfume bottles on my favorite top.  I thus predicted that the sea creatures would fall off with ease, just like my perfume bottles did.  Joke's on me, because these appear to be molded onto the mesh of the wrap.  See?

Or at very least the crab appears to be looped securely into the mesh.  However, if one looks closer one can see that he is very firmly glued onto the mesh of the wrap, rather than looped or molded in place.  The glue is even more obvious on this yellow shell.

Glue isn't always the best way to put an outfit together, but this glue looks and feels quite strong.  I don't think I'll have any trouble with sea critters going AWOL.  One thing that bums me a little about this ensemble is that the critters on the net aren't painted like the critters on the crown.

The pieces tie together just fine, stripes or no stripes, but...well, I like stripes, okay???  Polka dots will always be my favorite, but stripes are also pretty great.  Anywho, this costume is not a favorite among American Girl fans for this reason or that, but I actually quite like it.  It goes well with Marina's hair, and it comes with shoes.

American Girl's second mermaid costume inexplicably does not come with shoes.  As cold as the weather can be during Halloween, shoes are a must.  At least around here they are.  Anyway, I respect this outfit for its originality in a world full of princesses and sock hoppers.  Oh, and it's also green.  Y'all know my feelings on the color green.

On the other hand, putting together a sock hopper costume is relatively easy, and the components (flat shoes, a sweater of some type, and a long, swirly skirt) are easy to move around in.  Perfect for a little kid, I'd say.  So Silver Bird isn't the most original, but she does look adorable.  Silver Bird chose to be the sock hopper this year.  This is an Etsy getup that I've had on hand for awhile.

Y'all may remember from Marina's spotlight post that Silver Bird chose this getup.  I had this on Lindsey last year, but Lindsey's body is one of the slimmer bodies and didn't fill it out very well.  Spoiler alert:  Silver Bird's chunky Pleasant Company frame doesn't either, but since when have Halloween costumes ever fit perfectly?  The blouse tucks nicely into the skirt, so that's a plus.  Oh, and the proper shoes?  These...actually, I can't remember if I had to buy these separately or if they came with the outfit.  Either way, Silver Bird has the required saddle shoes.

Once I read (in American Girl Magazine, ironically enuff) that in some areas black and white saddle shoes were worn only by boys, while girls wore a blue and white variety.  Brown and white shoes were worn by both sexes.  I haven't found any information online that confirms this, so take it with a grain of salt.  Regardless, Silver Bird's shoes are the classic black and white that we all know and love/loathe.  I grew up wearing saddle shoes, believe it or not, so I grew to love them.  Silver Bird is one of my girls who prefers going barefoot, but as I mentioned above shoes are not optional during this time of the year.  So Silver Bird may not be as original as Marina, but it's at least obvious what she is. 

Luciana, on the other hand...Luciana's costume isn't immediately obvious, unless one knows me or her.  She's the Ninth Doctor...with the Eleventh Doctor's bangs.

Okay, Number Nine wore a pea coat as opposed to a leather jacket, but Luciana gives no flying burritos.  As long as she keeps that jacket away from her Tribble then all should go well (remember that Goldie tried to eat Lark's jacket once).  If y'all go back to Luciana's spotlight her decision to be the Doctor should be no surprise, though her decision to be the Ninth Doctor did surprise me (she prefers the Beloved Tenth, LOL).  I guess I should be glad she didn't want to be the Sixth Doctor, with that loud jacket he wore.  There isn't much to say about Astro Luci this Halloween; she's clad in black, and I have to admit that she looks pretty sharp.  

And with that, my lineup for Halloween this year is complete...except I think Silver Bird has something on her mind.

Silver Bird:  Either one of y'all fancy a dance?
Luciana:  Let's kick it!

Oh Lordy, I know where this is going.  Cue "In the Mood," Marina!

Marina:  I'm on it!

Glenn Miller for the win!  Don't get too close to the edge, y'all.  Remember what happened the last time Doremi tried to fly?

Luciana:  Served her right!
Doremi:  I HEARD THAT!!!
Silver Bird:  Oh crap...

Uh-oh, looks like my lineup ISN'T complete!  Luciana, you and Silver Bird keep dancing and I'll show off Doremi's costume; she's a princess, just like she wanted to be.  Like Marina's costume, this one is one of the older ones, the aforementioned Medieval Princess costume.

It's mostly velvet, one of my favorite fabrics, plus some sort of polyester (I presume) with a sparkly upper layer.

Both the sleeves and part of the skirt are made of that, while the bodice and other parts of the skirt are made of this velvet.  It's thin enuff that the lighter color shows through. 

Doremi's crown is made of gold...lame?  Sateen?  Some sort of shimmery gold fabric. It has no stretch, so it fastens in the back with Velcro.  I love the plastic jewels up front.  The front of Doremi's dress has these too, but the pictures of those wouldn't focus.

On her feet Doremi wears these cute gold slippers that are made of the same fabric as the crown.  These are elasticized and unfortunately like to slip off.

Doremi is the only one who has her Trick-or-Treat bag. 

Silver Bird's costume never had a bag, Marina's costume is missing the bag, and I had to piece Luciana's costume together so she doesn't have a bag either.  No problem, they can use these Rainbow High bags.

Luciana:  Sorry, Marina, but there's no green one.
Marina:  Never mind that.  You're standing on my wrap!

If you girls are good girls tonight I'll share my Almond Joy bars.  NOW my Halloween lineup is complete.  Line up, y'all!  Marina, you stay between Doremi and Luciana, lest they kill each other.

Marina:  No problem.

Even Doremi's friends love to hate her.

Doremi:  I HEARD THAT!!!

What're you gonna do to me, squirt???  You're about an eighth my size!  Anyway, Silver Bird and Luciana have unfinished business.  Fire up that radio again, Marina!

Luciana:  This sure beats resonating concrete!
Doremi:  How come no one asked ME to dance???

Behave yourself, Doremi, or you'll get a rock.  

Happy Halloween,
RagingMoon1987
