It Was All A Dream

Oh goodness, BB 3.0 #5 has been dreaming about Jay Chou.  Initially, she even had me fooled into thinking this was her husband.  But no! 

This is her husband and two girls.  He is on the police force, so she spends too many sleepless nights alone, which probably prompted the Jay Chou dream.

Jay Chou is actually her sister, Kyori's, boyfriend.  Scandalous!  Actually I don't think so.  Kyori had called her earlier that day to tell her of an argument she and Jay had.   That was probably on BB 3.0 #5's mind as she dosed off.  She and Kyori are relatively close, so I can't imagine she is trying to steal her boyfriend.

Kyori and Jay have a somewhat tumultuous relationship at times.  They both allow their careers to interfere with the relationship.  He being a music star and she being an actress, tend to get in the way of the true love that seems to be there.  There's too much flirting, too much management influence, and too much time away from each other for them to take this relationship anywhere serious.  Let's hope they get it together.  I think they make a really nice couple.  

P.S.  If my internet will cooperate, we will take a look in the church later to check on the wedding guests.

Has Anyone Seen the Flowers?

The wedding party is pretty much dressed.  Now they are just putting on the finishing touches.

"There.  That should do it.  Oh, wait.  One more thing."  (Dominique)

Kara is finishing up Ciana's hair.  They decided to put it up after all. 

"Oh, Kee honey, you look so adorable!"  (Leslie)

"Do you know where the flowers are for her hair?"  (Kara)

"You know, now that you mention it, I haven't seen any of the flowers." (Leslie)

"I'm here to deliver one handsome ring bearer, smartly dressed by his stepfather-to-be."  (Adele)

"Oh, is that my baby, Jacob?"  (Danielle)

"Ooooh, doesn't he look handsome."  (Kara)

"Ms. Danielle, you look really pretty."  (Nicole)

"Thanks Nicole.  I think we both look pretty." (Danielle)

"Adele, do you know where the flowers are?  They don't seem to be here."  (Leslie)

"The flowers were all together in the other room.  Let me go check."  (Adele)

"I haven't seen my veil either."  (Danielle)

"Okay.  I will look for that, too.  I can't imagine where else they could be."  (Adele)

Poor Adele.  Danielle is going to owe her big time when this is all done.  I don't think she knew what she was getting herself into by volunteering to be the wedding planner.

Meanwhile Back at Hotel Monaco...

With all the guests that are headed to Morristown, I was a little concerned about not having enough food at the reception.  I alerted Adele to the potential problem and she jumped into action.

Paul is the head chef at Hotel Monaco.  He is taking a call from his boss, who announces she is on the way down.   Oh, this can't be good.

"Hey Paul.  So how are things going with the Taylor reception?"  (Lauren)

"We are doing well.  We are pretty much on schedule."  (Paul)

"Well, I hate to do this to you, but I just got a frantic call from the wedding planner and it seems like they need to add about 30 more people."  (Lauren)

"They need to do what!  There's just no way.  I can't prepare food for 30 more people." (Paul)

"I know it's a major inconvenience,  but we need to figure out something fast."  (Lauren)

Paul walks around the kitchen thinking.  Lauren isn't too far behind him.

"You know you are going to owe me big time if I pull this off."  (Paul)

"I wouldn't ask you if I didn't trust that you could work your magic."  (Lauren)

"You don't have to keep buttering me up.  I will figure out something." (Paul)

Lauren is elated.  She thanks Paul then heads back to her office hoping there isn't another crisis waiting for her.

Paul has been here for over a month now.  He's been hanging out with his wife and two kids.  No time to chat now.  He has to get back to work preparing more food for the out-of-town guests.  Can't wait to see you guys!

Lauren is wearing another wonderful outfit from Gabi-mates.  I have been meaning to share the whole outfit with you, but haven't gotten around to it.  It comes with an awesome vest coat, leather boots, and a leather handbag. 

Guests Are Arriving to the Church (Photostory)

I am doing this as a photostory, but I really wanted to squeeze in an extra video.  I figured I might be stoned if the next video I posted wasn't of the actual wedding.  So here goes.

The guests have started arriving to the church.  

Harrison and Tina are making their way inside. 

"Wow, there are a lot of people here already."  (Tina) 

"Honey, Mikayla and I are going to the restroom.  We will be right back."  (Michelle)

Meanwhile, the sisters are taking care of their daughters.

"Now what happened to that bootie, Sophia.  I don't know why I bother covering your feet." 

"Taylor, are you sure you don't have to go potty.  I would feel better if you tried to go." 

"But mommy, I don't have to go." 

"Don't wait until we sit down and tell me you have to go." (China)

"Alright, munchkin.  Nice and dry now."

"Hi ladies."  (Michelle)

"Hi, Michelle.  Hello, Mikayla.  Are you guys all ready for the wedding?"  (Sylvia)

"Isn't it wonderful.  Everyone seems to be excited about this wedding."  (Michelle)

"Well, they make such a lovely couple.  It's hard not to be excited for them." (China) 

Adele emerges from inside the church.  She still doesn't know that her husband and daughter are there.

"There's your mommy."  (Mike)

"Mommy?"  (Sydney)

"Oh my gosh!!  What are you two doing here?" (Adele)

"Well we missed you, so we wanted to surprise you." (Mike)

"Honey, I was just talking to you a couple hours ago and you said you were going to spend the day with the boys." (Adele)

"Well that wasn't exactly true.  Your sister and I have been planning this for the past few days." (Mike)

"I should have known she was in on this."  (Adele)

"So how long are you going to make me wait for a hug." (Mike)

"It's so good to see you.  This wedding has been taking up all the weekends I was supposed to have with you and Sydney." (Mike)

"Honey, I know.  I just got so caught up and I couldn't let Danielle down." (Adele)

"I know how engrossed you get in your projects." (Mike)

"Speaking of projects, how's the house hunting going?" (Mike) 

"Well, about that..." (Adele)

"Wow, the church is filling up fast.  These folks aren't playing." (Sylvia) 

"Well honey, I am glad you are here, but I do have to get back to this wedding.  After today, you will have my undivided attention."  (Adele)

"I'm counting on that."  (Mike)

Oh look.  Lisa and Charles have arrived with their family.  Chad looks so cute.

Aww, and Chelsea is dressed in her bunny outfit.

"Mommy, I want candy."  (Mikayla)

"Honey, I think she needs a diaper change."  (Frank)

"Really?  I just changed her before we got in the car."  (Michelle)

"Well, smells don't lie."  (Frank)

Poor Chloe.  There's nothing like a smelly diaper.

There have been a number of out of town guests that have arrived, too.  You can see them on my Facebook page.  www.facebook.com/vansdolltreasures  You will see several large pictures and you can see the rest of the guests if you click on "SEE ALL"  in the Recent Posts section on the top right column.

The Husbands Have Arrived!

A few of my woman have been waiting for their men to come to town.  They are finally here.  I am only showing twoof them.  My Barbie Basic 2.0 #4, has had her husband the longest, but she hasn't let me take his picture yet.

First up is Jay Chou.  Good lawd.  I think I am catching Ebony fever over here.  He doesn't have his body yet.  He quickly borrowed a body, so he could quickly hug his wife, Barbie Basic 3.0 #5.  They have two girls.  The Only Heart Asian sisters.  Mom and Dad were too busy saying hello, so I couldn't bring the kids in.

Here he is solo, before his wife came charging in an grabbed him.  I can't blame her.  He is a Headplay sculpt from Ebay.

Next up is Michael Jordan.  He is Adele's husband.  He is actually going to surprise Adele.  She thinks he is still in Chicago.  She doesn't know the whole time she was talking to him on the phone earlier, he was at her sister's house picking up Sydney.  As you can see they are lurking in the halls at the church.  Adele has yet to see them.

He bought Sydney the cute bunny (Only hearts mini toy) for Easter.  Stay tuned to see what Adele's reaction will be.  I sure hope it's a good one.  She didn't seem to be too thrilled with the conversations she and Michael were having on the phone.  This is the newest Michael Jordan Headplay sculpt.  I couldn't reveal that he was on the way until I had him in hand.  The last time I told of something before I hit the buy button, it was gone before I could get to it.  So I have learned to wait.  

The Latest Wedding Video

Well the new video is ready.  I am only showing one picture.  I want the rest to be a surprise.  This was one of my favorite pictures because I didn't realize how well I captured Julian until after I was in edit mode.  This was sort of a blind shot I took because of the angle.

Do You Have Doll Families Attending the Wedding?

If you haven't heard, there is a wedding in our midst.  Can you feel the excitement in the air?  Well today I am shooting the next video, which will feature the ladies and the rest of the wedding party getting dressed for the big event. The actual wedding will be the next video, scheduled for next week.  For all you Julian fans, he and his 'suit', as he put it, will be appearing in the new video.

Due to the excitement, several doll enthusiasts have stated they are dressing dolls for the big event.  Chynadoll Creatisons and Hey It's Muff  are two that mentioned it.  You can actually see Muff's dressed doll, her dressing room dio, and behind the scenes dio tips by clicking on her link.  It's really cute and well done.  So this gave me the idea, last week, to let people post their pictures to my Facebook page of their dressed dolls attending the wedding.  I'm sure Rod and Danielle would love to see who their out of state guests are.  Please let them know what state or country your doll resides in.

Share your wedding guest photo on my fan page .

The facebook interface just changed, so it's a little confusing.  The status and photo upload is on the top left side.

Happy Easter from Morristown!

I was able to get a few of the families, that came to the church early, to take some pictures.  Keep in mind they haven't completely pulled it all together yet.  Jewelry is missing.  Hairbows are missing.  In some cases, shoes are missing.  

This is me and my husband.  In true form, my hair isn't done and I am missing my jewelry.  Even though my husband Keith is unarticulated, I love him to pieces.  

"Honey, wait right here, I'm going to get the kids." (me)

My husband messed up this picture, but Alicia and I are looking pretty nice.  Oh yeah, she said, "check out her purse".  I couldn't find my son Tyler.  No telling where he is.

Here are the Trotts. China, Darren, and Taylor.  Look at Darren trying to look all dapper.  Taylor is sporting her new Tigger dress (an Ebay find).

Pictured here are Tina (psychiatrist), her daughter Shantavia, and her grandaughter, Jada.  Tina and Shantavia had to swap dresses.  Tina was too old to be wearing that short dress.  See that fashionista dress doesn't look so bad out of the pack.  It would have looked better if I had gotten the lighting right.  I sure hope they plan on fixing Jada's hair. 

Chris and Kara Judd.  They will not be performing at the wedding to my knowledge.  I probably should check the itinerary again.  As I was looking through my clothes stash, I found the shirt that Chris is wearing.  I bought it 8 yrs ago.  It is vintage and I had never taken it out of the pack.  I knew one day it would come in handy. LOL!  His sweater is one I made.  Kara's dress is from Stardoll.

Their daughter Jolisa, insisted on wearing pink.

Here's Michelle Robinson and her daughter, Mikayla.  Her husband, Frank and other daughter are around somewhere.  I just saw these two coming from the restroom and I grabbed them for a picture.

I found a few stragglers meandering about.  There's my son Tyler, Zahara and Nikaya Taylor, and Chad, Lisa and Charles' son.  I made Tyler's pants yesterday while making Julian's tux. Nikaya is wearing one of the new Bratz dresses.  Oh, I see some more kids coming.  Hold on a minute.

Ok.  We're back.  Oh, I see the Lees are here already, too.  That's their daughter Ming on the right hand side.  It was hopeless trying to get all the kids to look at the camera.  You know how short their attention span is.  Let me get them back to their parents.  I don't want anyone mistaking me for a babysitter.

"MOVE TAYLOR" (the gang)

There is always one ham in the bunch.  Like I said, let me get these kids back to their parents.

I noticed these two when I took the other kids back.  Jessica and Sophia.  These are Sylvia and Christopher Redmond's kids.

The baby is wearing a new outfit.  I didn't notice the booties were leather until her mother put them on her.  Would you believe she has lost a bootie already.  I forgot to tell her mom to secure it with a little sticky stuff.   These babies are just like real babies when it comes to socks and booties.  They must kick their feet when I'm not looking.

 HAPPY EASTER!
