Dear Mark G. Harris:
I understand you made disparaging comments about my wedding ensemble. My dear close personal friend, Fashion Expert Nina Garcia, suggested that I send you a few photos from my portfolio. She also wanted me to remind you that a fabulous new season of Project Runway begins Wednesday, July 16 at 9 p.m./8 central. That’s a new time, so don’t miss it!
In case you hadn’t heard, my dear close personal friend, Fashion Expert Nina Garcia, is no longer at Elle magazine! She begins her new job as fashion director at Marie Claire in September.
Ciao!
Summer
Mattel Top Model
Oh, okay, you know… NO FAIR.
You can’t bait a guy to chomp at the bit to do a li’l disparagin’, only to use a model named after his favorite season, and employ what Dior called ‘les doigts de fées’ to create such stunning examples of flou.
If you need me, I’ll be in the up in the TRESemme salon, boiling over and trying to figure out how to steal that little plaid-&-celophane number in time for the Grammys, ya wench.
…stupid “end italics” thingie
FYI–no velcro was used in these designs.
You are DYING to come over and play Barbies with me, aren’t you?
Play? I’ll vamp you out of the room– no playing about such serious business.
Amateur! I was dressing Barbies when you were still fantasizing about your first bowl of oatmeal.
hahaha! Dang, I guess me throwing around the few French words I know hasn’t fooled anyone.
LOL!
Holy crap – those ensembles are just fantastique!
Thank you! At last: French I can understand.
Yesterday, a new edition of a grammar guide came into work. I bought it, as it was included in a sale and was better than my employee discount. All day long, it made me think of you. 🙂
That’s the nicest thing anyone’s said to me in days!
Quick, name the eight parts of speech! 😉
Blue! No yel—-aaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiighhhhh!!!!
Okay … three things, two things that disturb me. 1 – Nina Garcia is going to be at Marie Claire? I actually read that on occasion, and I never thought it was “fashioney” I might have to stop getting it. 2 – I really love Summer, she’s got strawberry blond hair, and I haven’t loved a Barbie since PJ and Skipper. And lastly I an so so so so envious of all you batiks and scarves etc … I want them – and Summer
PS the second picture is my favorite, and I think my Dead Dolls are a little jealous.
Does she have the hair extensions?
No hair extensions.
Gorgeous! 🙂
Thank you!
WOW, Becky!!
Summer’s going to take that as a compliment. =)
I heard that after this photo shoot Summer and Earring Magic Ken did lines of coke off Allan Sherwood’s ass, stole Barbie’s jeep, and knocked over a convenience store.
heh heh
just as i suspected…
Then Australian boogie boarder Blaine brought an overdosing Midge back to life with a big ass needle through her chest plate, and GI Joe told Master Billy to “Get the Gimp.”
I can neither confirm nor deny any of these rumors.
But are these designs fashion forward?
Yes! Well, anyway, a couple of them are. Hush, you.
P.S. You ARE Nina Garcia, aren’t you? I forgot she’s one of your alter-egos.
Hey, Becky, you got any of the old Steffies around? I’m wondering if Summer compares, or uses the same head-mold.
I don’t have any Steffies, to my knowledge, although I’m sure I have dolls with the head mold, as it was apparently a very popular one. I’m telling you, your next trip, it’s Barbies OUT OF THE ATTIC time so we can research them on a rainy day. Or an incredibly hot day with 98% humidity.
The Steffie pictured here is supposedly a 1972 doll, and Summer’s head mold is dated 1971, so it’s a definite possibility. The eyes can really throw me off–I get so intent on the painting that I forget about facial shapes. I looked at photos of some PJs (also Steffie head molds) in profile, and I’m pretty sure you’re right.
I think I’m going to buy the other Top Models because I really like this set, although, again, the permanent pose makes it harder to fit them and make them stand. That, plus all the pieces, might make them frustrating for young girls. As for older girls, my complaint about this particular Summer is that her hair messes too easily. She’s still stunning.
I used to like my sister’s PJ when I was a little boy, so that must be what it is…. There’s something about your Summer. : )
Dear Summer,
Big big fan of your work … that walk is FIERCE!!!
Could you please ask Becky why Dr H told me that it was Ringo’s birthday today?
Smooches!

From Becky
Dr. H is correct. Today is Ringo’s birthday. Is that your passive aggressive way of pointing out that I didn’t do a tribute to Ringo today?
Last night, I dreamed that you lived in a very large, one-story house. You had several rescue dogs, including a bloodhound. You hired Timmy (NOT Tim) to be your housekeeper. Your book had been published but I still hadn’t read it. You were all nonchalant and said something like, “Oh, there’s a copy around here somewhere. I’ll get it to you.”
Also, I kept staring out the window looking for the “bad guy.” I think this is because I watched the scene from Foul Play on youtube in which Goldie is watching out the window while Dudley Moore gets his bachelor pad and himself all ready to seduce her.
Re: From Becky
1. Was it passive? HAR HAR HAR
2. rescue dogs, a double edged sword. Would love to have them, including a bloodhound… however Dash is NOT about to share, so it would mean he went to college – and I could not bare that.
3. As soon as book is published I’ll send for Housekeeper Timothy and his things, Rexford included. Provided we have a home in the Marigny.
4. Nonchalant? That must mean I was sucessful! HURRAYY!!! You are the next person on the list, no publishing till you read.
5. the Bad guy … at first thought I thought that this to be Greg. Then I remembered Mark and the Bobba’s – perhaps they were doing a surprise fashion attack.
Smooches!

Re: From Becky
3. Oh, no, I’m sorry, I would have to lie down in the road and die under the wheels as Tim drove away. Do you want that? That is why I made sure you knew that in the dream, it was Timmy, my OTHER writing partner, who was your housekeeper. Now if you get him and Paul to move to NOLA from up north, that’s fine, because then I could see him more often. But unless you want my demise on YOUR RICH AND SUCCESSFUL SHOULDERS, please don’t lure Tim and Rex away with promises of fast living and loose bitches (of either gender). Thank you so much.
Re: From Becky
Oh … Well no offense to your OTHER writing partner, but I would have to insist on Tim and Rex. I also don’t want you die under the tires … so I’ll put away the fast lives and loose bitches.
Re: From Becky
Wait … I WAS RICH AND SUCCESSFUL?!
Re: From Becky
Yes.
Re: From Becky
And I can’t believe that I dream such wonderful things for you and you want to move Tim and Rex away. Mean, mean, mean.
Re: From Becky
I said I put away the loose bitches!
Re: From Becky
so rich that I blow my nose with twenties?
Re: From Becky
So rich you don’t have snot.
Re: From Becky
I was snotless? That’s pretty damn rich. That makes me pretty damn happy.
