Little Models: Part 1 (by Katie)

  The girls love it when I give them "makeovers". My little trick is using gel pens. Take a pink one and put it on your cheek then get rid of the lines and make it look like blush by rubbing it with a wet paper towel. For eyeshadow I do the same to their eyes except I don't rub a wet paper towel on it. It comes off super easy. Anyways, the girls got the idea to do modeling, where I am supposed to give them makeovers and take pictures of them in outfits I choose. Beth was at a friend's house and it ended up taking over 2 hours just to do Lucy and Claire, so I'll do Abbie and Beth another day. Lucy demanded that she gets pictures not only of her in two outfits, but in a costume as well. I gave Lucy purple "eyeshadow" for her green eyes (I love green eyes!) and actually, she looked natural with it, as in I didn't need to "get used to it". Here are Lucy pictures:



This was the only good picture of this pose, and its REALLY blurry.



I wish I knew how to turn pictures. *Sigghh...* Oh well.


I love this picture of Lucy. She really rocks Hello Kitty!


She made up this pose herself!


Notice that tuft of hair sticking out at the top of her head?
And do you remember when she cut off a bit of her hair?
We do sometimes have trouble hiding it.

She just had to be a ballerina :)

After an hour taking of pictures (Trust me, these are only 1/4 of her pictures. The others aren't so good.) Lucy had finally been convinced that she had taken enough, and I could do Claire. Of course, I thought this would be more fun until I realized that Claire will only wear like 5 shirts and has pretty much only dirty pants in her drawer. I had sooo much trouble choosing her outfits. I mean, look at this one:
A funky, modern short-sleeved shirt with a frilly bottom and hood...
with rolled up fuzzy winter pants?
It's all she would wear.

Well, the top is cute.


We really had fun with this outfit...


...a LOT of fun :P




Claire's kinda like me, we can't really smile on command.
It's a super cute picture though.
