High Heels and Bling Bling - Is It In The Genes?

Have you read any Fancy Nancy books

written by Jane O'Conner and illustrated by

Robin Preiss Glasser?

Nancy adores all things fancy and loves dressing in boas and

sparkles and feathers.  She loves to use fancy words in her

world.  Unlike Nancy, her family is very ordinary.

She tries to teach them to be fancy.

If you have any Fancy Nancys in your world, they would

love these fabulous books, young or old.

I have decided that I am a Fancy Nancy.

I don't think I was born this way.

I remember being more of a tom-boy,

but once I discovered my inner Fancy Nancy I

embraced her totally.

I have sweet little Fancy Nancy granddaughters.

I am glad that they are!

One Fancy Nancy granddaughter decided she wanted to

"open a shoe store".

She brought down some of Grandma Jackie's high heels

and sandals and set them up on the piano.

They were "for sale".

Fortunately none of the guests were my same size.

Our little entrepreneur is 5 years old.

She came for a sleep over for 4 days while

her mother went to Girl's Camp for Church.

She announced, "I want a complete makeover."

It started with getting her ears pierced (with mom's permission)

but then she wanted her hair cut (had to call dad for

permission on that one.)

Then she announced, "Well, I need a new outfit too."

Then it was, "Well, what about shoes?"

This little one is so delicate and cute.

She already wears bling bling.

She doesn't ask for much.

I think this one may be the ultimate Fancy Nancy.  A sweet little

Minnie Mouse voice comes with this darling.  I can't help

but hear her voice and have my heart melted.  She

can have whatever she wants.

This is our latest Fancy Nancy.  Hope she loves

all the pretty things grandma and mama put her in.

Is it in the genes?

I don't know, but my mother loved high heels,

I love high heels,

my daughters and daughter-in -laws

do too and a whole new generation

loves to get mine down off the

shelf and clatter around in the house in them.

It must be in the genes!

Pink, purple, red, these are all Fancy Nancy colors.

Fancy Nancy belongs to

Pink Saturday.

She would be here every week!
