She thinks maybe stretching will get the blood circulating enough to re-oxygenate her brain.
The suite mates have all been too busy to keep up with laundry so Grace is scraping by in jeans and a hoodie that were hand me downs from her brother. She collapses back on the couch as Soraya breezes through.
Soraya is texting her study partners to find out where the review session is.
"A girl may be reduced to wearing her roomate's brother's old clothes but she should still take the time to fix her hair," thinks Soraya. Besides, the cute guy she has had her eye on all semester is joining her study group and she wants to make a good impression.
Kara also believes in looking her best. She made her boyfriend lend her this outfit so she would have something to wear to her exam this morning. Only fair since she spent the night before helping him write a twenty page research paper.
He doesn't know it yet but he's not getting the jacket back.
"Oh my god, Chandra, I'm going to fail!"
"I thought you said you had an A- average going into this exam. You'll pass with flying colors. You just have to believe in yourself."
Easy for Chandra to say. She's wearing her father's old letter sweater for luck. "Maybe I should get a rabbit's foot or something," thinks Grace.
Sometime later Marissa sees that Grace has passed out so she tips quietly through the lounge.
It was a beautiful spring day when she left the suite so she put on a colorful sundress. Then the wind started blowing and it got so cold her boyfriend made her take his jacket so she wouldn't catch a chill on the way home. "Such a gallant gentleman," she smiles to herself.
"What time is it?" yawns Trichelle.
"Heck! What day is it?" moans Grace.
Trichelle may have been up all night but it doesn't look like she was hitting the books. Now it's time to pay the piper.

I have to turn in my grades by noon this Sunday but I've been playing hookey. Today I went to Walmart and found a cache of Justin Bieber dolls on clearance:

I don't have much use for even one Justin Bieber let alone the six that came home with me, but the wardrobe department insisted this was a prime opportunity to build up the menswear collection. Unfortunately the ladies grabbed everything before the fellas even got to try it on. May be once exams are over the guys will get their chance.

I wondered why everyone was wearing male attire. $7 is not a bad price for a complete outfit that looks better than anything Mattel makes for Ken.
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for thinking outside the box.
Now what will you do with all those nude Biebers?

The nude Biebers have surprisingly well-made articulated bodies. I am contemplating painting or dyeing them.
DeleteThat is an excellent price for Bieber dolls - even if you don't want the Bieber. A single Bieber fashion pack sans doll cost $7.99 anyway.
ReplyDeleteLoved the flow of your story and how you introduced each girls outfits!
Glad you enjoyed the story. I have paid $7 for Justin Bieber fashion packs before so I figured the dolls were just langiappe.
DeleteThose big sweaters makes it seem like a nice, cozy evening at home with a cup of tea... and no studying whatsoever! :D I'll have to keep an eye out for Bieber fashion packs.
ReplyDeleteYes, the ladies do look very comfortable. Today is the last day of finals so they will be able to relax very soon.
DeleteI love the college theme and the story. Reminds me of my college crew. Great price on those dolls. I do think you should dye those bodies. They are really well made.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have discovered that the Bieber dolls are very well-made. Unfortunately I don't have any brown heads that would fit on those bodies even if I dyed them.
DeleteHello from Spain: I really like the photos and styling of your girls. Your typical reflex floor young girls students. The outfits are perfect and varied. Many nights I stayed in the room preparing my final exams. Many hours of study, many days without leaving the house and lots of coffee. The end result was very good grades. I'm sure your girls will approve all examinations. Very good buy the doll Bieber. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteHi Marta,
DeleteWhen time comes for their 20th reunion, Trichelle will wish that she had been a diligent student like you and Grace instead of a party girl. :-)
Congratulations on those finds, LimbeDolls!
ReplyDeleteThanks for merging the fashion show into the story.
P.S. Regarding those extra Bieber heads ... perhaps you could customize them to look biracial?
Hi D7ana,
ReplyDeleteI thought about trying to "colorize" those Bieber dolls but I didn't want to come up with something that would look like "black face." I have already swapped two of the One Direction heads onto Bieber bodies with more articulation. Who knows what other solutions will present themselves.
LOL, I hear you about the "black face." Wouldn't be a good look - wince.
DeleteThanks for sharing that the One Direction heads can be placed on the Bieber bodies - would be nice to have them poseable ;-)
