Easter - Resurrection
A perfect time for rebirth as well as resurrection.
Wow! Where did summer go? Wasn’t it just Memorial day? Didn’t Labor Day come out of no where? Well, we live in California so summer is not officially over until November when Daylight Saving Time ends, right?
Eventhough, summer is not over — as far as we’re concerened, school is back in session. The Savvy Dolls are definitely pro education and believe knowledge is power. However there are some things that school doesn’t teach you. In an effort to spread the Savvy Dolls propaganda, we will drop some knowledge that will make you savvier than your classmates.
Lesson 1:
Stay in school! Yes it’s boring sometimes, and the teacher is clueless sometimes and your fellow students are idiots sometimes, but you must persevere. It’s a test. It tests your self discipline and your will power. Survival of the fittest. While you’re there, you might as well learn something. Learn something about the subject taught in class, learn how to socialize with people, or learn how to tolerate injustices when you don’t get as high a grade as you felt that you deserved. Just learn something! Don’t waste your time in class. You have to be there, so just make good use of your time there.
Skye’s Parisian routine revolves around the night life. She goes out at about 10pm — this is early for Parisians! They do not get to clubs until midnight. Luckily clubs in Paris do not shut down at 2am like they do in California. At 5am when the clubs close Skye waits for the first Metro of the day to take her home to her tiny apartment in the 10th district. As she is going home in her going out clothes from the night before, others in the Metro are dressed up for work or school. She gets looks and stares but she’s too tired to really care. She glances at her reflection in the subway car window. She still has jewels on her face and the braids in her hair a little out of place. Overall she didn’t look too bad. Just tired.
After a nice shower she finally hits the hay at about 7am. She wakes up at about 3pm, has a late brunch, tidys up her apartment, and gets ready to go roam the city at 6pm.
Although boys were the last thing on Skye’s mind when she headed to Paris, she has a list of new admirers as well as a few that she has her eyes on…
Robert is a tall musician that caught her eye as he strummed his guitar and crooned in the bar that she frequented. He had an alternative edge to his good looks. His intelligence and depth is what ultimately had Skye hooked, lined and sinkered.
A week has gone by in Paris for Skye, and what an eventful week it has been! Skye reports that the French have been very nice to her — although she did come prepared with a few French phrases:
“Bonjour” - hello (literally “good day” and you greet any stranger that you make eye contact with in the street with “bonjour”. You see the French are a friendly bunch!)
“Merci” - “thank you”
“S’il vous plait” or S’il te plait” - “please” (please and thank you’s are always welcomed in any country)
“Parlez vous anglais?” - Do you speak English? (once you get the basic phrases out, the natives should be more receptive to speaking English if they know any)
After some persuasion from Victoria and Phoenix, Skye decided to spend one month of her summer abroad in Paris, France. Why did Skye need persuading to go to the “City of Lights”, the “City of Love”? She came up with a few reasons:
1. She’s not looking for love.
2. The “City of Lights” is not cheap! After all it costs a lot of money to keep those lights on.
3. None of the Savvy Dolls were available to go with her.
The Savvy Dolls were at the Andez Hotel (formerly the Ivy Hotel) this past Friday helping out ‘Party For A Purpose with their fashion show.
Have you missed us? Well, we’ve missed you. We know you’re dying to hear about all that’s going on in the Savvy Doll’s House.
Did anyone catch the Savvy Dolls at the W Hotel this past weekend? If you didn’t you missed it. Phoenix, Zoey and Abriel all came out to share some good times with Eden before she ships off to the East Coast and Portugal. Besides an Alice In Wonderland themed art show and fashion show, Phoenix made quite an impression on the dance floor at the W. Even the DJ had to give her props as he announced over the mic “Damn you’re hot!” and later told her that she was his favorite. As usual the Savvy Dolls had their share of admirers.
