An Unconventional Uniform

Image
         Hà-Sen, as you know, made a somewhat startling choice when deciding what her maid's uniform would be.  Thank goodness that a visit from my American friend, Trixie and her personal maid was not only enjoyable, but solved the problem.      As you know, The Maid helped me settle in here in Eze, and I became so fond of her.  I have many reasons to be glad that she made this visit with Trixie!      Sen showed her the "uniform" and, as you can well imagine ..... The Maid was somewhat taken aback. Even though Hà-Sen explained, and demonstrated, what a lovely  curtsy the full skirt allowed her to  perform, The Maid was not impressed.     The Maid felt this might require a shopping trip and a lot of conversation.  Being so young, and having the dream of working in French film, Sen had a very " cinematic" view of what the maid of a "glamorous and famous and so successful" (her words) writer might we...

      I've noticed that Fate usually seems to ignore our very  existence until a moment arises when it sees the chance to pass close by and very casually toss a banana peel right in front of our beautiful shoe.

       I am not the only Elenoir in the world.  Many of us know that multiple time lines weave and interweave throughout the universe of dolls.  So while I am not the only Elenoir, I am the only Elenoir in my time line.  Thank you to Aquatalis for creating me, and for sending this particular 'me' to live with Marilyn.  It seems to be working out quite well.  Let me begin by telling you who I am in this part of the doll universe.       As I've said, my name is Elenoir.  I was born in Vietnam,  Saigon to be exact, on November 24, 1934.  That means that I have the astrological sign of Sagittarius.  It is said this is the sign of wanderers who are ruled by the planet Jupiter.  I have wandered indeed. And plan to do so for the rest of my life.  My Lunar sign is that of the Green Wood Dog.  This is said to make me sincere and reliable.  Also considerate and understanding.  I hope I exhibit...
