The halloween party

 So it was Halloween and the zombies were all having a huge pinochle tournament.  I was getting ready to go to a party with Edgar.  This was my costume.  I am a space girl.  Hee hee  space girls WISH they could look this good.

 I had not decided what hair to wear yet I almost went as a bald space chick, but I had too many options to let that happen.:)

 I went with the blue because it accents my eye...areas.... don't you agree?

Here is me trying on the green hair, in this one you get the full look of the outfit.

So, Anyway I found out that Edgar just got a new job at a straw mat factory, he says he can really put himself into his work not.  Just as well I guess.  His job as a agricultural vermin deterrent specialist was only seasonal.   I'm very excited for him, as long as he does not lose himself in his job

and it just keeps getting better!

This is so very exciting!  I have been approached by a major design company to have my own line of greeting cards!  I almost had to pinch myself to see if it was a dream.  I don't know details yet but apparently they are going to be taking a ton of pictures of me and using them for greeting cards!  How cool is that?  I have been thinking about it all day! What will the line be called?  Quinnies cards? Mannique's messages? oh oh oh Q box greetings!  No, wait that will probably get me sued.  oh well I will leave that to the pro's.  My job is to rock the shoot like I always do!  I think I will try to write a couple of the cards too, then I will get double pay!

Just think soon your birthday will be the best ever cause you will be getting a picture of me!!

Ta for now!  Q

I am a star!

I knew it was only a matter of time!  I am now being officially acknowledged in the recent StudioCalvin sale of Blue Girl, I will miss her, and I have been requested to do a photo shoot with a VERY prestigious modeling agency.  Maybe you have heard of them?  (I think it is the Brookings Institute) I am going to be photographed by the legendary Melanie Brooking!! Eat your heart out Naomi Campbell!

I think I even get a sales commission for Blue girl since they named me specifically.  I need to talk to Amanda about getting me a makeup artist.  I really am getting too important to do my own hair and makeup. 

OK Mel, I am gonna get my game on and rock your shoot!  Lets do it!!

Fons & Porter?  Are you out there?  I can't wait to be on your magazine!

Q

in the danger zone

We went for a walk again today.  Apparently Rob and Amanda are thrill seekers cause we went right back to where we saw the bear!  I took a picture of the area, so if you walk there you will know to be careful!  I looked for bear tracks but I think it was windy or something cause there weren't any.  I wish Edgar had been with us.  I'm not sure a bear is considered an agricultural vermin but My little straw man Eddie said  he would have jumped between me and that mean old bear.  He is such a sweetie.

River and Stevie are finished and are about to move into their Zombie Containment Units.  You should be getting a full pic spread soon.  Rob is interviewing them to make sure their bios are accurate.


Thanks for dropping in and watch out for bears!

Q

OHH! Butt tags

Now I get it! I took Blue girl aside and asked her what a butt tag was. I didn't know Zombies could blush, but I think she did a little. She turned around and lifted her skirt. There it was plain as day…A little tiny baby tag with the StudioCalvin logo. It was adorable! Blue girl said she was really proud of her tag, because it made her an member of a very select set of Zombies. I was talking to Larry and he said he had written to a bunch of his friends who were all asking how to apply to be a DDZ (Doll of the Dead Zombie) .

According to Larry, the first allowed into the DDZ, it was pretty tough to get in. Remember Pinky? she didn't make the cut. Don't tell her that. It will break her heart. We told her she was too valuable to the team to let her go, and that someday she could be in the Smithsonian as the inspiration to the DDZs.

Gotta scoot! Happy Monday! Q

OH OH OH TDS Tid Bit time!

The plastic things on the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Just so you know.

River and Stevie

OK, Rob said no pics tonight. He said they are not quite ready for their public release yet, I guess River still needs a mouth or something and neither one has their butt tag, whatever that means.  Don't tell Rob, but I snuck my phone in and snapped a couple quick ones to show you.... pardon the quality.  I'm sure Rob will do better when they have butt tags.... what a silly thing.

<----  So this is Stevie he keeps gloating about being steam punk.  I do not think it means what he thinks it means.

<----- This is River the Zombie Hippy.    I have not had the heart to tell River that the '60s called and wants their pants back.

                               

New DDZs!

So Tic's spot in not even cold... well ok maybe it is 'cause zombies don't produce body heat.  He is only just on his way and two more zombies meander in!  Stevie and River.   Stevie, from what I am hearing, used to be a computer nerd.  He says the last thing he remembers from his non-undead days was trying to over clock his new CPU by 3000 %.  I have no idea what that means, but  apparently it  exploded and he is now covered in computer bits.  He seems nice tho, just a bit of a nerd.  River is an old hippy who is all about green this and save the earth that... I bet I will still get trounced at cards.  Oh well.  I'll try to goad Rob into getting some pictures tonight, if he does I'll post em!

Tic finds a home

Now I won't do this for every one of the DDZs cause, well some of them, I am pretty sure, cheat at cards.  Tic, however was not one of them.  He is a great little guy and I am delighted to say he has found a home!  congratulations to you Tic, you were almost every bodies favorite.  To bad you came from a small remnant of cloth, there will be no other Tic.  Live well, .... well... not exactly live... ok .. be happy Tic we will miss you!

Q

New DDZ

WOO HOO! Halloween Elvis is not only here he has ushered in a DDZ sale!  In order to make sure they have a home by halloween StudioCalvin has dropped the price to $25 on all DDZs too sweet!

Come see the DDZ collection while they last!  Q

There Rob that should fulfill my contractual obligations :P

AHHH!! This is where I left my blog!

I wondered where I left it.  It has been a while so I thought I would fill you all in on my latest activity!

I have to tell you all what happened last night.

  We were all out for a walk after dark and we are walking down a street that is divided with trees shrubs and a winding path down the middle.  We are all talking and joking around when I hear Rob say, oh hello kitty... and Teeny Screams THAT IS NOT A CAT!!! She then hides behind Rob.  Well Amanda and I had been talking and looking the other way so I just froze... My years of experience as a Textile Display Specialist probably saved my life here.... Amanda says: "What is not a cat?"

Well I look over to see this black blurr running towards us!! It was HUGE!  My first thought was... what the heck is a bear doing in town... then all I could think was oh no... you are supposed to play dead for a bear and I was too scared to move.. I just stood there! No doubt looking like a giant bear treat.  I knew I was done for.  My life literally flashed before my eyes... that was a short flash and one for later discussion... but it happened none the less....

Then as the great beast closed the distance close enough to strike I closed my eyes and tried to find a happy place...

That is when I hear Teen say... Oh it's a puppy!!  I thought she had gone mad with fear and was also looking for her happy place... I kept my eyes shut and prepared to feel the hot breath of the massive bear...

The next thing I hear is giggling and laughing... how sad I thought. If only I were brave enough to laugh in the face of a bear.  I opened one eye and saw Amanda Teen and Rob bent down and petting a small dog.  I can only guess that it had charged in at the last moment and scared the bear away!  Brave little animal. I am going to give it a treat the next time I see it for saving us from the bear.

OK, that is it for now I am off to see Edgar, the agricultural vermin deterant engineer.  He has some consoling to do. ;)

Later!  Q
