Hello Real-Life
Ooh La Frou Frou Girls!
~ A Little Note ~
Originally I'd planned for this post
to feature illustrated girl Hope
and a peek into her shopping bags
~ you know she loves shopping more than anything ~
... but ...
that will come next week!
Just as I thought ...
all of you darling real-life
Ooh La Frou Frou girls
are just as glamorous and romantic as the
illustrated ones ...
and we all love a good love story.
Everyone had such fun with
Sunny's romantic adventure last week
entitled
"Grand Flirt"
that I thought we simply must see
a bit more of what Sunny does next ...
so welcome to this week's episode ..
~ Grand Flirt II!~
Pssst ..
if you missed last week's
"Grand Flirt"
definitely back up and read it
before reading Grand Flirt II darlings!
Last week, Sunny received a
~ very glamorous invitation ~
and we asked your opinion of what she should do ..
so before we head back to The Mark Hotel
and visit Sunny again ...
I'll let you in on how your votes tallied up!
Most of you said that Sunny should
respond "yes! yes! yes!" ...
a few said she should say "yes"
but expressed a niggling little concern
that she didn't know him yet ...
and a very small group felt that she should
definitely turn this particular invitation down
at this point in time.
That brings us to a little step further
in Sunny's romantic adventure.
Welcome to
~ Grand Flirt II ~
When sophisticated city girl Sunny
receives any invitation that involves water ...
whether it's pool or sea ...
she finds it ever-so-intriguing.
In summer, you can often find her there ...
And when it's autumn and that invitation
comes from a very handsome stranger ...
one that she has seen only in passing three times in one week ...
the combination of this heart-skipping and memorable
~ Grand Flirt ~
and the thought of his invitation for a
private yacht dinner date at sunset on the sea
is almost too much to bear ...
Sunny has had to close her eyes,
take deep breaths
and search her inner crystal ball
to decide whether to go with her head ...
or her heart ...
... after all ...
dreams of candlelight
are so sweet ...
What is it about romance that is irrisistible and makes
life as sparkling as champagne bubbles ...
... as joyful as glitter in the air ...
... and how does it make trees bloom in luscious color ...
in place of bare autumn branches of everywhere ...
With all of those thoughts in mind,
Sunny suddenly knew what she had to do ...
so she slipped to the hotel lobby
and let the concierge know ....
"Could you have him send the car please?"
A golden autumn Saturday morning
finds Sunny with a secret smile.
She eats her breakfast
humming a little secret song.
She has her blonde hair trimmed
in the hotel salon.
Her nails are painted
in the palest gold
in honor of the season.
A day spent in luxurious preparation
is a joy in itself.
Sunny likes nothing more than
a luxurious long bath
and a dressing room filled
with personal favorite things ...
things that sparkle enough to compete
with the stars ...

Sunny likes nothing more than
a luxurious long bath
and a dressing room filled
with personal favorite things ...
things that sparkle enough to compete
with the stars ...
Sitting before her dressing table, each sparkling bottle
and gilded tube begs her to choose them ....as she remembers his smile from the limousine ...
Her make-up is perfection ...
she remembers there were initials on his cuff ...
what were they?
Lying before her,
rings in crystal bowls
ache to be chosen ...
... and hanging about
her dressing room are dazzling
jewels waiting, hoping to be admired
on her silky throat and
glittering from her wrist ...
For, what is a woman ...
without a certain air of mystery?
... of holding some things to herself...
... making him want to know ...
... need to know ...
more.
Sunny, dressed in a dazzling gown,
stepped into the lobby
of The Mark Hotel
just as the car arrived.
Sunny stepped out
into the autumn evening
and as the limo driver opened the door for her,
she bent to leave a note and a red rose
on the seat
with instructions to take them
to the gentleman.
