Parkin Week Starts Today!

Hi guys! It's time for Parkin week to get going! If you've not read this post, please check it out for some extra info.

OK, ready?

Take it away, Parkin!

....................................................................................

It's finally happened. I am the Emperor of Rosie Apples and Friends at last. Apparently it's just for one week but I'm sure I can talk my way into being the Big Boss for at least, hmmm, let me see... all eternity.

Anywho, seeing as it's the start of Parkin Week I thought you might like to know a bit more about me. I do like to remain fairly mysterious, as you may have noticed but I mainly do that to annoy ol' bossypants blog lady.

Yes, she tried and failed on several occasions to unmask my secret male friend but I'm just going to throw it out there now. It was Ken. I know, I know, I'm embarrassed to admit it now but you see, I was in love.

True love. Described here though is how our romance of a lifetime ended. Don't be sad for me, he was a poobag. It all came to a head when he made us dress in coordinating outfits and participate in an "exciting" professional photo shoot. I say professional. It wasn't.  Nor was it exciting. O.K, it was a little exciting. I did get to wear a fluffy petticoat/tutu after all!

It didn't take long for me to become painfully embarrassed by Ken's camera hogging. There can only be one 'face' in any Parkin based relationship and that should be me. I'm practically Snow White for Pete's sake.

In case you think I am being unnecessarily harsh here there had been a lot building up to this point. It's just that this particular moment was captured on film. It was always, "Barbie's head is much smaller than yours." or "Barbie's boobs are way bigger than yours." or "Barbie wouldn't have actually eaten the cake I sent her. She'd have displayed it in her pristine kitchen." There is only so much one (extremely well-proportioned, if a little noodle leggy) Blythe can take.

But never let it be said that I don't pick myself back up again. Did I mention I'm the big boss around here now? Oh, and that Ken's a piddle puddle?

Tomorrow you will have my take on Teeny Tiny Tuesday. 

Stay Sexy,

Parkin

Gold Spandex and Trainers Part 5

After the "blonde bombcase" incident I have been even more curious as to the identity of Parkin's mystery fella. Being the nosey parker that I am, I donned my best private detective trench and fedora and secretly recorded her on her way out this morning, in the hope of catching a glimpse of this secret boyfriend. No such luck, but I did see her all dressed up in a gold bodysuit with turquoise belt and leg warmers. She'd *borrowed* my trainers too. I suspect she went to the gym but why so fancy? Gold spandex doesn't seem very Parkin to me...

The Blonde Bombcase

If you missed any of the previous action, catch up here, here and here!

To summarise: Parkin is being very cagey over the identity of her new gentlemen friend after being swept up in a whirlwind romance involving tea parties, miniatures and vintage Skipper.

Here is the next intriguing clue in the magnificent (that may be a little strong), mini-series 'The Mysterious Parkin'.

The time: Monday 02/05/2011 11am

The Place: Mine and Parkin's city penthouse*

Me: Hiya Parks, been shopping? Did you get bread?

Parkin: I didn't eat the last slice. Get it yourself.

Me: But you know I'm desperately trying to become a hermit.

Parkin: Wait until you see what I got before you start going off on tangents.
           I'm going to look amazing!

Teeny Tiny Tuesday: Romance Edition

I found this outside the front door this morning. A gift of Re-Ment cakes... it must be getting serious with this mysterious figure Parkin's being so cagey about!

I think I'm going to have to smoke out their identity somehow!

The cakes are from Have a Bite and come with the lovely box and also three crepes. There is another strawberry cream cake in the box. I really like the detailing on the cakes and the chocolate tops of the strawberry cakes are nicely glossy. There are some plastic rests for the crepes as if to display them in a bakery with price stickers, so if you are looking to build a set they might be pretty useful. Another versatile and lovely set by Re-Ment!

Curiouser and Curiouser

This is all getting very intriguing Parkin... I thought your pretty dress on Friday was a one off. It's certainly not like you... Does this change in appearance have anything to do with your mystery tea party guest, perchance? *wink wink*

Anyone we know?

Time for a Tea Party? Always!

Having a tea party, Parkin? 

Have a fun Friday evening!
