Dear Friends and Followers,
No words can describe how much fun this has been. I thank every one of you from the bottom of my heart for following along and your kind and supportive comments.
My lung disease has entered its end stage and I have decided not to renew this blog in January. I know I can always continue with one of the free blogs with advertising but the reality is that I am dying. I am at peace with that, receiving excellent care here at home.
Of course, I can’t leave you without pictures. I haven’t been up to the doll room in some time. My wonderful husband brought down my new portable, foldable roombox from Tiny Frock Shop and my eleven Momoko dolls. They have been trying on ball gowns and party clothes.
I apologise for the font changes. Another reason to leave WordPress. I simply can’t get my oxygen starved brain to navigate it anymore.
Akiko looks stunning in her sparkling pink gown but decides to go to the club on NYE instead of the ball.
Akiko spent so many New Year’s Eves looking after Tommy and Salyndas’ baby that she’s a bit nervous going out. (It’s amazing how babies rarely grow in the Dollyverse.)
The girls do look gorgeous in their gowns but Chiyo doesn’t like this look at all and leaves to put on a flapper girl inspired outfit for the new year instead.
Chiyo as flapper.
Scarlett, late for the group photo, looks ethereal in Chiyo’s gown.
As does Yuki in her gown.
In the end, she also opts for the club with her friends.
Scarlett does too.
Darcie is charming in her gown but…
She feels much more herself with her dress and trademark cowboy boots.
This photo really doesn’t do Momoko justice in this cute little gown.
This outfit from SouoL by LouoS looks even cuter.
Moriko’s red gown seems designed for a different era.
But she’s clearly a very modern young woman!
Mizuki skips the whole ball gown experience and gets ready for the club.
Niko is ready as well.
Himari and Heidi are ready to go but Heidi is only 17 and needs a fake ID to get in. Himari reassures her that Chiyo can make her one quickly and easily. She sends a text and waits.
Chiyo tells Mizuki and Niko that she’ll meet them inside and heads off to help Heidi.
New ID in hand, the girls set off to meet their friends.
With that, I’ll say a fond farewell to you and the West Enders. I hope your holiday season is wonderful. Should you be on Facebook, I have a dolls’ only page called Dr Bonnie Panenka and will keep posting there as long as I am able.https://www.facebook.com/DirksDolls
Just to let you know, something as simple as answering comments and messages can be very arduous these days. So if I don’t write a response, please forgive me.
