Rainy day Monday was followed by Overcast Tuesday. Nikki and Tamaki found two older rain garments and decided to show off the fashions. Imagine someone actually thinking these fashions were cool? Ha, ha, ha. Nikki wears the red and yellow plastic raincoat while Tamaki wears the blue rain cape with green collar. Nothing says classy like plastic rain wear!
Melody overhears their plans and quickly dons her old raincoat and boots. Her hair looks unruly because - in her haste to catch up with the teenagers - she ran out before her Mummy could finish brushing her hair. Mummy will not be pleased with that.
The girls hear Melody behind them and wait for her to catch up. What's such a little girl doing out alone in the park? Why are her pigtails hanging like that? Melody wants to take a picture in her old raincoat. Nikki pauses to consider. Would Melody prefer to return - after her Mummy does her hair - and have her photo taken then? No, no, no. Melody wants her photo taken here and now. (Mummy might not let Melody back out again or it might rain or anything could happen to stop her having a photo taken in the park.) Tamaki agrees that Melody's mother would not likely allow Melody out again. So they allow Melody one photo before they take her home. Here are their photos below:
The plastic rain wear worn by Nikki and Tamaki are generic fashions from the 1970-80s. They are NOT Mattel fashions ... at least, I doubt that they are. Melody's raincoat, dress, hat, and boots are Mattel fashions though ... they are part of a rainy day set from 2005.

Love the raincoats! Too cute!
Thanks, Vicky!
LOL, what on earth are you talking about, because those rain coats are the height of coolness! I especially like Nikki's.
Melody's hair however is a hot mess.
Great photos. That red raincoat looks very '70's to me, what a great colour combination.
Lovely outdoor photos!
Hi and thanks, Muff, Carrickters, and Limbe Dolls! I like the rain coats, but the young girls tell me they look dated. Hrmp. Melody's mother had a mini fit when she heard a photo was taken of Melody with her hair like that. Oh the scolding that followed. The red raincoat "belonged" to my Baggie Francie.
I lucked out with those photos so I took those dolls with me. Found that lovely spot with a tree branch set to the side. I like outdoor photos ;-D
Mummy? LOL! You've been watching too much Downton Abbey. They red and yellow raincoat is eye catching. Melody is cute in her raingear even with her hair combed.
Vanessa, LOL, you always make me laugh. I haven't been watching too much Downton Abbey; Melody's "Mummy" has though and guess who's absorbing Britishisms along the way? Uh huh, Melody. If she goes to pre-k, the other kids will get her out of it. Maybe, lol.
I've been gloming on The Mentalist, seasons 2 and 3. Simon Baker is CUTE, but Tim Kang just might be CUTER ;-D The Season 4 DVD comes out mid-September: don't know when the FLP will get a copy. I haven't been watching The Mentalist on regular tv - it's on at 10PM when I try to wind down. Emphasis on try, lol.
