a narrative of my 2 yr old granddaughter's day of extensive,frightening, sometime painful testing told in a way that made the memory of that most difficult day bearable for her anxious parents and for me, gramma fifi
It was to be a long eventful day for celebrity star, Eliza Blue. She was sceduled for an entire day of film shots and testing for her role in 'Sleeping Beauty'. Eliza swooped into St. Mary's in the arms of Prince Andrew long before daylight with an entourage of fans in close attendance. She was wearing stylish blue denim and a delightful pink pullover adorned with purple daisies.
Her whispy blonde hair was coifed to resemble a soft dandelion ready to be poofed into the gentle morning breezes. Her attendants followed as she was greeted by the staff. All of them eager to gain her favor as they led her to her reserved suites. As with all of her appearances, the sight of that beautiful demure smile and those large inquisitive eyes the color of liquid sapphire, brought ooohs and ahhhs from the onlookers as she passed.
Photo ops are never easy and the filming of Sleeping Beauty would be no exception, but Eliza Blue would bravely rise to the occasion with a sweet willing spirit. Preparations were long and difficult. Some were painful and she shivered with cold in her scant costume. Her attendants hovered and her fans waited outside hoping to catch a glimpse of their star as they moved her from set to set. At last preparations were finished and the shoot could begin. Eliza dozed as the photographers moved her little body this way and that...all trying to get that perfect picture...all of them marveling at this true little 'sleeping beauty'. Finally the shoot was over and the sleeping Eliza was placed in the waiting arms of the handsome Prince Andrew.
Smiling fans once again lined the hallways as he gently carried her to the special room of dreams. In this room she would slowly be awakened with soft squeezes and a million little kisses. Her attendants were relieved that her long day was nearly over and the filming had been a success. Eliza blue sweetly left the set just as she had entered...wearing the stylish denim and delightful pink pullover adorned with purple daisies. Her many fans waved good-bye as she was whooshed away. Eliza looked back waved and left them the gift of her beautiful smile.
Enchanting...delightful...are two of the words that come to mind. What a treasure awaits Eliza Blue when she is old enough to understand! Sounds like a truly magical day to me...Hugs, Ruth
soft and alluring, just like your description of Eliza Blue. My only nit-pick has to do with formatting. I think this would be adorable as a magazine article-- but since that is NEVER going to happen, I ask myself, okay, so how can you make it LOOK like one? Answer: it's in the formatting. You'd have to set up your page in columns-- two would probably be best, with both sides justified. And then, perhaps a pic or two placed strategically within the text, and a BLAZING HEAD LINE with a captivating lead-in. You could get some roll ends at your local newspaper, and cut it down to size to fin in your printer, and print it off, and even then go so far as to "clip it out", laminate it, or frame it for the darling, perhaps with purple daisies dried and preserved with it inside glass... just me day dreaming.
What an adorable gift, this little vignette, and what a great way to soften a traumatic event. So.... did she get the part? --Charlie
Oh! what a marvelous way to tell a story! A keeper for sure. Never have heard, read, or knew of such a way to tell, grandma. I am sure to let hear it to the great-grandchildren so they can look at hospitals as adventures places where fear has no place.
Thanks.
