Mall Diva Excuses

DSC01799.JPG
Diamonelle NEVER needs an excuse.

Mall Diva has not been able to supply further "Gone with the Captists" material because she has been busy successfully auditioning for lessons with this teacher at NSU, who accepted her and gave her a scholarship (half-price lessons). He also said she was a "natural violinist," which reminded me that Ysaye told Gingold's mom the same thing.* And Mr. S. cautioned against pushing Mall Diva into international competitions too early (!) This does not mean she is accepted to his studio at NSU, however, so she still has a lot of work to do. We hope she might have a little time for the Captists tomorrow.
Mrs. Weirsdo

*On the other hand, who the heck is Mr. S. kidding, "natural violinist"? HE didn't sit through the screaming.

Paternal Indulgence

DSC01930.JPG
Hobbes Junior went out to the most expensive toy stores in Hobbesywood--even the Arshmolean Gyfte Shoppe--and bought the doll the most foolish little things, and he had a beautiful little nursery made just for her.

Father Knows Best

The first time the little doll got sick, Hobbes Junior summoned three doctors to the house, and he was constantly discharging nurses who simply were not good enough for his child.

Hobbes Junior: Parent or Pariah?

DSC01639.JPG
To Annie’s complete surprise, the novelty of fatherhood did not wear off. Hobbes Junior thought his daughter completely marvelous, and would buttonhole dolls and animals on the street to relate details of his dolly’s miraculous progress.
