Diego finally got his butt out the bed and got dressed for the ball. He was trying hard not to go, but Halle insisted. Turns out there's a doctor's convention on the ship. You will see a few familiar faces and a few new ones.
Don and Paulette are chilling and watching the dance floor. Don isn't much of a dancer. Paulette is hoping he will oblige her with a few dances. Paulette is decked out in a Shasarignis original.
Christine is here wearing a Barbie Look fashion. Her depressed friend is no where in site.
Dr. Sheppard and his wife Debbie are at the convention.
"I know I already told you this, but you look beautiful tonight." (Dr. Sheppard)
"Thank you." (Debbie)
There is absolutely nothing verbal being said here, but I can almost hear them breathing.
Dr. Locicero (left), Dr. Isiah Washington (middle), Dr. Miller (right)
"It's so good to have you back on staff, Dr. Washington." (Locicero)
Dr. Washington seems to be distracted by something off in the distance.
That's Dr. Yang, resting her feet.
"So is your wife going to make it tonight, Dr. Locicero?" (Dr. Miller)
"I hope so. She was trying to get our son Darrin settled in." (Dr. Locicero)
"Dr. Yang, dance with me. This is one of favorite songs." (Dr. Washington.)
"I don't know." (Dr. Yang)
"Oh girl, get on up on that dance floor." (Dr. Miller)
"See this isn't so bad, is it?" (Dr. Washington)
"Well, I don't want our coworkers to suspect anything." (Dr. Yang)
"What you don't want them to know you have the hots for me?" (Dr. Washington)
"Funny. Funny." (Dr. Yang)
"Can I get you a drink?" (Dr. Locicero)
"No, but that chair is looking really good right about now." (Dr. Miller)
"I'll get that for you." (Dr. Locicero)
"So are you going to stop by my cabin tonight for a nightcap?" (Dr. Washington)
"Nooo. It would not look good if someone saw me going to your cabin." (Dr. Yang)
"We could just say we were going over some work." (Dr. Washington)
A little faster song is playing, but Diego is keeping up with Halle.
"Honey I need to rest. Dance with my friend Christine." (Debbie)
Debbie is also wearing a Sharignis original. Looks like her husband was fiddling with the back of her dress.
"Well let's see what you got, Christine." (Dr. Sheppard)
"Uh oh. You are in trouble. That's my song, Happy." (Christine)
**It might seem crazy what I'm bought to say.**
"Oh no, she's breaking out. Don't show me up." (Dr. Washington)
"Well get those feet moving." (Dr. Yang)
**Because I'm happy. Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof.**
Halle is putting it on Diego.
"What in the world is she doing?" (Debbie)
Maybe Christine has had a little too much to drink. I think she is trying to get closer to Diego.
She gets an eye full when she does get a little closer.
"Looks like Dr. Sheppard has his hands full." (Dr. Locicero)
"Now take it easy on me. I'm the king of the two-step. But that's all I have." (Don)
"Don't worry baby. I got you." (Paulette)
Epilogue
1. I had to give a nod to Isiah Washington, who is set to return to Grey's Anatomy soon. First few seasons of Grey's Anatomy, Dr. Yang and Dr Washington were having a secret affair.
2. Dr. Locicero is the name of my doctor.
3. There are 3 Sharignis dresses in this story. Paulette, Dr. Miller, and Debbie are all wearing her creations. The outfits she sent me were such perfect cruise wear. Here is a tutorial link for the dress Debbie is wearing. Shasarignis Tutorial She has a ton of tutorials for other clothing pieces, too.
I love Halle's dress. James Bond Barbie's dress? I am a dancing enthusiast so i enjoyed this post.
ReplyDeleteDuke of Swann - Yes that is James Bond Barbie's dress. It is quite nice Only thing is it was sewn onto the doll, so it doesn't have velcro. I love dancing, too. Glad you enjoyed it.
DeleteTJ is a good choice for Isaiah Washington. I stopped watching Grey's Anatomy after Washington was removed/fired from the show. I am glad he is returning and hope it works out well.
ReplyDeleteThe Shasarignis dresses are nice! Thanks for sharing the link to her tutorials.
Love the final song!

DBG - This whole story came together at the last minute. I wasn't going to do it at all because it was daunting thinking about dressing enough people for the ball. Yesterday morning I turned on the radio, which I hadn't done in months, and I got the energy I needed to make it happen. All the extras in the story just happened to be in the same room as the dio. A few were still boxed. TJ was still laying nearby. Debbie just happened to be there, too. So the story came together.
DeleteI haven't really watched Grey's Anatomy since Isiah left, either. I have the DVD series with him in it, and I will throw that in occasionally. He was my favorite character.
Shasarignis tutorials are so inspiring. She can hand sew an item faster than anyone I know, and she makes it look so easy.
It looks like everyone is having a good time - although Dr. Sheppard may have to do something about Christine. Thank you for the link to Shasarignis tutorial.
ReplyDeleteCarrickters - Dr. Sheppard is going to take Christine back to her seat real soon. I can't believe how perfect Shasarignis clothes were for this cruise. It really was perfect cruise wear.
DeleteHello from Spain: Christine is very pretty and elegant dress Barbie Look. It is a very elegant and glamorous dance. I love Dr. Sheppard, in the television series and in your story. The three Sharignis dresses are fabulous. Great gift. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteMarta - That Barbie Look dress is very nice. They all had a great time at the dance.
DeleteHi Vanessa, it was a great party! and you made a great choice of gowns!
ReplyDeleteKisses
billa's dolls - Thanks. I'm glad I was able to pull it off.
DeleteThe doctors are great characters in the story! It's a very elegant ball. Christine is very funny when she has had to much to drink :-).
ReplyDeleteNymphaea - Adding the doctors was the easiest way to fill up the ballroom. I've been wanting to debox the Twilight doll for awhile now.
DeleteGreat story. Paulette is very cute. Diego is quite the romantic. Glad to see the Kenya male doll against other 1/6 dolls his head doesn't look too bad against theirs. Thanks for the link to Sharignis I am thinking of making some pieces.
ReplyDeleteAG Lanc - Thanks. I think it helps that TJ is bald. If he had hair, it would probably seem even bigger. Hope you have fun with Shasarignis tutorials. She has quite a few of them.
DeleteWhat kind of doll is Dr. Yang. She remind of Disney's Pocahontas' friend Nakoma.
ReplyDeleteOops. Meant to end my first sentence with a question mark.
DeleteKenyaDoll - Dr,Yang is just one of the standard Fashionista dolls. She is part of the last wave of articulated ones. I bought her to use as a bodyswap because I have 3 Racquel dolls already. Who know? I just may keep her as is.
DeleteNow that I looked back and saw her face, I can tell she is Racquel, one of the newer East Asian faces. She is a deadringer for Nakoma! LOL! I don't remember Fashionistas with hair tinsel but then again I didn't really keep up with the Fashionista line.
DeleteBTW, I love how you used the old school Christie! When I had her as a little girl, she always reminded me of the first Aunt Viv from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
KenyaDoll - That Christie doll does look like Viv. I think that is what her first name will be, if I can remember it the next time I need use her.
DeleteEverybody looks awesome and the clothing is perfect cruise wear. Halle is getting Diego all hot and bothered again.
ReplyDeleteMuff - Halle has definitely let down her guard. I can't believe how many of those outfits were perfect for the cruise.
DeleteHola, la ropa es muy bonita, ya vi los tutoriales.
ReplyDeleteEsta ha sido una historia muy interesante, esperemos todos se diviertan sin tener problemas despues.
lindaivette - Me alegro de que el check out los tutoriales. Ella hace que parezca tan fácil. Halle y Diego son conscientes de los otros huéspedes, así que al menos deberían estar bien.
DeleteBonjour Vanessa !
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful as always! I love how you put the characters in value and even the dresses. I never think to do so. This is why I'm glad I find someone like you! Thank you! This gives me more ideas.
Shasarignis - I couldn't believe how perfect your whole wardrobe was for the cruise. Hopefully your tutorials will get some views. I'm looking forward to your new outfits that will either hit your etsy store, or your tutorials.
DeleteOh so Shasarignis's tutorials can be hand-sewn? Cool. I can do hand sewing ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the cruise passengers dance, especially Halle and Diego.
D7ana - All of Shasarignis tutorials are hand sewn. I don't think she even owns a sewing machine. Have fun.
DeleteWhat?! Isaiah Washington is coming back? Though he wasn't my favorite character, I deleted Grey's from Tivo when he got fired and stopped watching altogether. Anyway, Halle's dress looks even prettier on the dance floor. Love it that you played Happy ;-)
ReplyDeleteKenya - Yes, he was on the Arsenio Hall show and they talked about it. I think Christine is leaving the show. I really enjoyed the first cast of characters that were there. I haven't watched it in years. I had to play a fast song to get some space between you and Diego. It didn't really work. Oh well.
DeleteHi Vanessa! That beautiful dance, your gifts are fabulous! The dress is stunning, how much elegance! Your kids had fantastic!
ReplyDeleteKisses!
karmen - They had a really good time at the dance. It's always nice playing dress up.
DeleteGirl, I give you much credit for being able to use all you doll stuff! You are not letting that Grand Hotel go to waste. I knew I did the right thing buy seller you that Happy Family house! I knew you would use it. I fell happy evertime I see it. Are you still thinking about painting the Grand Hotel? If you are using it as is, why bother?
ReplyDeleteMs. Leo - That hotel has been a school, a banquet room, and a hospital. Lol! I wasn't planning to use it for the cruise, but it was already in position, so then I saw how perfect it really could be. No plans to paint this one at all. It is working just fine as it.
