Gene’s Final Curtain Call ~ Part III ~ More Favorite Gene Photographs
Last night I dressed two of my Gene dolls in fashions recently acquired. They are waiting to be photographed and I visualized them looking over their shoulders as they retreated from the front of a stage on the last night of their performance. In a few days I will have begun to attend my first and last Gene Marshall convention.

I am so bummed about the new Miss Revlon doll. I keep hoping that each time I look at her I will find something pretty about her face but it’s not working. I wanted to adore this doll because I had a Little Miss Revlon doll as a child

Comparing glow sticks with flashlight, one would notice that safety glow sticks can glow brightly for twelve hours, and they are lighter than flashlight. Using safety glowsticks, you can be rest assured that you will no have illumination issue. With flashlight, you cannot be sure, but to take backup batteries. A glow stick produces light based on two chemical ingredients. Glow badges are simply glow sticks in badge shape. They can be stick on clothes or on furniture for decoration. There are usually two sticks of 1” or 1.5” long inside the badge. So to make a glow badge glow, the mini glowing sticks need to be broken.
