Mary Allison: fashion diva.

Have I mentioned that Mary Allison is interested in fashion? Maybe not?
Well, the child LOVES fashion!

(the above picture slipped in ONLY because she insisted that we take a picture of ourselves with our "friendship necklaces"on!) She called them that because I bought her one for her birthday and I liked it so much, I got myself one too. She now says we are "bound" by our friendship necklaces. SHe's a goob.

Ok, so maybe you have also noticed tha Marymallison (Ellie's newest way of saying it.), also knows how to POSE it up!

I think she studies America's Next Top Model. You are NOT going to catch her just looking at the camera without a full-on/ back arch/ hand on hip DIVA pose.

Then, we are lying around in the grass near the condo, and she says, "Miss Melanie, this is my super model pose."

The girl even said, "Check this out. I am 'smizing'".

Anyone care to guess what that is?

Well, in the "biz", it is "smiling with your eyes".

Like this:

Or better yet... this!

Or maybe it is more like this? Is this "smizing", Marymallison? I am just wondering.

Jay and Pam, MA's parents, be ready! She is going to be a handful of a teenager.

And not to mention, an EXPENSIVE one! She has high standards and good taste. Uh oh!

Is is just me, or does she look 6' tall in the above picture? Daaaaannng!

I think I was just "centhening"... that is, "lengthening with my camera"!

Ok, ok, Mary Allison, I think you are pretty. (She says I never tell her. I try to tell her my love language is gifts, not words of affirmation.... and didn't I buy her a "friendship necklace" after all?!)

She calls us her second set of parents.

And I guess we will claim her!

(WHen you are rich and famous, don't forget how we took you on all these trips, and that I was solely responsible for lots of public exposure and your first official portfolio!)
