How Judgy Are You?…
Hoarders makes me sad. Don't know it? It's a reality show that goes inside the homes of messy people. They say it's a real thing. Gathering stuff, until there are only trails through one's home and rats in the kitchen, is the result of some sort of trauma. I figure I must be ahead of… Continue reading How Judgy Are You?…
Does It Reflect You?…
One of the Dolls passing through comments on my little home office. "Ooh is this where the magic happens?" We laugh, but later I consider, what does a Duchess Doll need in her work area? Mine, where my brain comes to explode, is of a personal nature. For instance, always in my sight line is… Continue reading Does It Reflect You?…

Online Fibbers…Oh My
Seems the single Dolls are none too happy about the boys' grievances. Not following? Last week, the boys expressed confusion as to what it is, exactly, girls want. While they didn't care for "everything," they did get an earful from the ladies. And the boys shot back with a list of their own. Refresher. On… Continue reading Online Fibbers…Oh My
It’s A Fever of Sorts…
There is the slightest break in morning air. Here in The Dale, that's big. It signals three digits are on the way out. It's Fall, of sorts. Though still stifling in the afternoon, soon we will, again, drink wine on the patio. Some girls lose our minds come Autumn. We believe Labor Day is the… Continue reading It’s A Fever of Sorts…
The Boys Have Questions…
Yes, there are boy Duchess Dolls. Every once in a while they come forward with opinions, questions and sometimes even corrections. They're wrong, but they're guys. You know, so we let them mansplain. I meet some new ones. "What do women want?" They don't like my answer, "Everything." Disclaimer: Every Doll is different. Boys, if… Continue reading The Boys Have Questions…
Do I Smell Football and Fashion?…
Two things make a girl giddy come Fall. Football and fashion. We can toss aside that sundress we've worn all summer. Loved it when we bought it--pre 120 degrees on the surface of the sun.
