A problem arisen and a temporary goodbye.

A NOTE FROM OLIVIA'S OWNER

Hi everyone.

So this is probably a big disappointment, but needless to say, I have kind of lost interest in continuing this blog. I still do love my dolls and all and will most definitely continue my YouTube, but I've been thinking of branching out this blog to leave space to do even more awesome things.
Now, this doesn't mean I'll never post again.
I still do have a bit of interest in this blog, and perhaps I'll continue posting here because I don't want to let thi
I've created another blog called the dolls have the phonebox, about a thirteen-year old doll named Elune and her everyday ponderings in place of this one.

Ciao for now, Skye.

Oh my goosems.

So I just thought I'd tell you guys about something I'd witnessed earlier today.
I was walking around Montmarte with my friend, Anastasia, when all of a sudden, I saw Louis Tomlinson from One Direction! He and Eleanor were eating ice cream by the Seine River. At first, I was shaking my head, thinking that it wasn't him, but that made no sense because Eleanor was there too. I was wondering how we were going to go up there, and hatched a plan. I pushed Anastasia behind a bush and whispered into her ear, "Look Ana! It's Louis Tomlinson!" I pointed at him and Eleanor.
"Oh my goosems, Olivia! That's Louis Tomlinson!" Ana exclaimed.
"Ana, you know he probably just heard you!" I told her.
"Oops?"
We climbed out from behind the bush, and started to approach them. But close-up, that's when I noticed some off things about them. Louis's stripes were green. Eleanor's hair was darker than usual. That's when I realized, that's not Louis and Eleanor! It was just two doppelgängers that look almost exactly like Louis and Eleanor together at the same place and time we were.
That's new.

Ciao for now, Olivia.

Hogwarts!

Hey! It's Olivia again. I just wanted to tell you guys about something. If you're an AGTuber and a Harry Potter fan, then you might want to read this. It's called American Girl Hogwarts. It's a virtual Hogwarts for AGTubers!
There's only one student enrolled so far, (the awesome Quinn from izzydog158)
Check it out here: http://AmericanGirlHogwarts.blogspot.com/
It would be totally awesome if you participated! (All participants will get a shout out! :D) Thanks so much! (:

1 DIRECTION

Hey guys!
'Tis the Livvster here. Answer to the question you just asked your computer: I don't know why I'm such a spazz-tastic person. Well I just wanted to check up on you guys. And ramble about my unusual love for a certain boy band from the United Kingdom. (Hint: IT'S 1D)
I'm just a bit obsessed. I watched them in Sheffield, actually a while ago. And Harry, if you saw his hair...it was like a forest of curly hair. (Not a stalker! xD)

A stroll in the park.

Luci & I went for a stroll in the park yesterday! It was tons of fun! Dad & I (mostly Dad) took some pictures. The scenery was just beautiful!

Dad took this on my Diana f+. So Luci was trying to climb the fence because she dropped her phone over. Imagine how that turned out..

Candid shot number 1!

Candid shot number 2!

A self portrait of moi!

And we have chosen!

So, yes, it took us a while, but we finally chose a place to live in! And it's Paris! There's a fabulous apartment complex with a great view called the Etoile Jolie. I really love it. And the inside, it's..well...jolie! We have apartment 8F. I'll be posting some pictures later.

Ciao for now, Olivia.

Settle down.

"I want to settle down, want to settle down. Won't you settle down with me? Settle down."


So apparently, father Xenophilius (otherwise known as my epical papa) has decided that he wants to find a job, an apartment, have a steady life, and settle down. Now, we've already chosen four places that we could possibly live in: Paris, Barcelona, Northern Ireland, and the Netherlands. I *think* Dad is leaning toward Paris, it's just magical and fantastical. And amazing! Paris is definitely gorgeous. Plus, it may help with my photography in Paris. Then, I'd be able to say "I studied photography in Paris". WHO DA BAWWS NOW? That would be, like, epic. (My American-ness is coming out!) In fact, we're in Paris right now, because air fares have gone up, and up, and up. And euros, I still haven't gotten used to them. And I'll update you guys on where we choose.

A list of epic stuff that are..epic?

Hello! (: I know I haven't been online in quite a while, but I do appreciate your guys' awesomeness! Now here's my absolute list of essential things.

1. Doctor Who. It's the most amazing show in the history of flabberwhackin' pies. I talk about it from time to time, and it's just wonderful. If for some crazy reason you haven't yet heard of this blissful-ness, then you should watch it. If you watch it, I *highly* advise you to watch 'Blink' as your first episode.

2. Arctic Monkeys. In this case, they're just wayyy to awesome to be capped. AGILE BEAST & ALEX TURNER & Jamie Cook & Nick O'Malley. Emphasis on the truly amazing MATTHEW J. HELDERS III AND ALEXANDER DAVID TURNER. I'm sorry, they're just amazing. They do indie/alternative rock, and something about their music is just darn epic.

3. HARRY POTTER. Now for some reason, I didn't caps Doctor Who. But Harry Potter, the storyline, the way it's delivered, the effects, just perfection. I love the books, and the movies are exactly how I pictured them. Now of course you've heard of Harry Potter, unless you've been living under a rock. (sorry if that offends any under-rock-livers)

I hope you enjoyed my list of things that are vital to life! XD 

^.^ Oh, and I'm still in Paris. There's been a slight change in plans, and we're not probably leaving anytime soon. More updates on that later.

Ciao for now, Olivia.

Easter.

Hello fellow inter webbers! ^_^ Happy Easter, or belated Easter, I'd suppose. I would've posted yesterday, but we were at mass in the Notre Dame, (yes, we're in France We'd never miss Easter mass in the Notre Dame!) After mass, we had to go to the hotel to reserve a room (which would make so much more sense if we did that before mass). Then, we had an Easter picnic at the park. Beautiful scenery! (I'm wearing that striped dress that I was talking about in my New Years post) Happy Easter, nevertheless!

Ciao for now, Olivia.

Cupcakes. Robots. Olivia. Feature Film!

Hello peeps! (Heh, get my Easter reference?) Anyways, I'm in Wales right now, staying at my ex-half twice removed uncle in-law, Louis's house.  Since it's almost Easter, we'll be taking a quick flight to Paris so we can attend mass at the Notre Dame.
Anyways, on to IMPORTANT news. I am starring in {another} feature film produced by girlyiscute studios! My first film was 'Pink Christmas', which you should definitely watch. (Find it on girlyiscute's page!) Now I'm really excited, but I can't tell you what it's about. We wrapped up the filmimg a while ago, and we're just adjusting a few things. There will be more updates to circulate around the interwebs later! I'm not entirely sure when the release date is going to be, but we're aiming for a spring break premiere date via YouTube! So we just wanted to let you guys know that.

cardiff smells of happiness and pajamas.

PS...I got 2nd place on Just Us Dolls Here's March photography contest! I'm extremely excited that I got second place on my first ever contest!

Ciao for now, Olivia.

Shiny Teeth

Hello everyone! So we're still in Spain, and as lovely as it is here, Dad says we're going to visit out ex-half twice removed uncle in-law. Apparently, he lives in Wales, which I'm super excited about, because I've only been to Wales once during Christmas (I've got a brief post covering all that jazz), and it wasn't great, so I'd love to enjoy Cardiff, thank you very much.

Well, anyways, Luci got braces! The paperwork was kind of confusing, since Dad had to use Siri to translate practically every word ('twas in Spanish). But, alas, Luci's teeth with be as beautiful as....something very beautiful that I can't think about at this very moment.

Well, that's basically all I had to say other than RAVENCLAWS ROCK YOUR SOCKS.

P.S. We'll be holding a writing/photography contest at 10, 15 followers! Tell all your compadres about Cupcakes. Robots. Olivia. and receive a virtual cupcake. (you realize you will not be given an actual cupcake.)

Ciao for now, Olivia.

Spring.

{insert cheesy yet inspirational poem about spring.}
Being fashionably late for spring has its perks.

And so, this is my entry for Just Us Dolls Here's photo contest!

Ciao for now, Olivia.

Informing Information

Hello there, my dear buds! ^_^ During my leap of absence, I gained two more followers! *PARTY TIME!* Thank you so much, more posts to come! I realize I haven't been here in a while, but I'm not dead, honestly! Just been real busy. Father Xenophilius (aka my dad) banished me from the laptop because of 'something quite terrible', as father would say.

Well, remember how I said my aunts/cousins were coming over? Well they did. And it wasn't pretty. Dad rented a small apartment with a great view of the Eiffel. Since it was raining, (as it always does in Paris)  there was a leak in the roof. Then it just came downhill from there. The food got wet, the power went out, the tap water was freezing, and when Dad shouted for help, I was snuggled into my Snuggie taking a nap.

I then woke up and realized that I promised my Dad that I would help him with setting everything up, and basically making his sisters think we were rich. Great daughter, aren't I?

But Dad finally forgave me for my siesta, and we are currently in Spain. But he didn't let us go to the spa in Nice. But from my experience, Barcelona totally beats Nice spas all the way.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I made it into to PAGMA (Professional American Girl Modeling Academy) season five!

Wait hold on. DOCTOR WHO MARATHON!

Ciao for now, Olivia.

Sisters & Cousins, Apples & Oranges

I have some amazing news! As in Amazing. As in AMAZING. As in AH-MAZING!

(amazing < Amazing < AMAZING < AH-MAZING) Ok, not that amazing. But Dad says our cousins are coming over for a visit. You see, Dad has these snobby socialite sisters. Top class, and all that jazz. They're triplets. (Yep, Dad only had two years of freedom before his crazy sissies were born.) They know we live in Europe, but they think we're a 'highly established family' that lives in 'high society Paris'. I'm guessing they don't know Luci & I don't go to school or that Dad is a temp. The best is Chiswick. Kay? Oh, or that we travel.) But any who, they have these kids, my cousins. Obviously. That was implied. THEY are actually nice. But the triplets and their children are going to stay over at our 'apartment' in Paris for a week or two.

Dad says once they leave we can all have a spa day at Nice, so the ride should be two hours on a plane. On car, it's about  8 to 9 hours. D: BORING CAR RIDES SUCK! Sorry, I had to. Well they'll be here in a few hours, so I'll update you then.

Ciao for now, Olivia.

Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day, fellow earthlings! ^_^ It's me, Livvie, and I've had so much fun today. Dad brought Luci & I to a small restaurant around the Champs Elysee. Well, that general area. And before you ask, yes Dad did take us to France. Not that Turkey's boring or anything. It's pretty cool there, actually. But who wouldn't want to be in the City of Love on Valentine's Day? (That was a rhetorical question.)

We started our expedition yesterday, in the afternoon. Since it takes a pretty long time to get from Istanbul to Paris, we took a last minute plane to France. I pretty much slept through the whole ride, then woke up at a train station. It was morning already. Most of today was the train ride to Paris. There were no three-seaters, so while I sat next to Luci, Dad was crammed at the back of the train car and  had to sit next to an elderly woman who smelled of cheese. The train finally stopped 20 minutes in, and we were free to roam across the lovely streets of Paris. Dad didn't tell us what restaurant we were going to; he wanted to keep it as a surprise. When I caught a glimpse of the restaurant, my face was ambushed with joy.

A plain, simple hot dog stand! He knew it would remind me of New York. I really miss New York, but come on, who doesn't love Europe? (Once again, rhetorical question.) The hot dogs were much better than those cheap Americans one. If you make something, then let the French try making it. It'll turn out x17 better than yours. Well I had a bacon-wrapped hotdog with loads of ketchup, mustard, onions, relish. You know, the works.

Ciao for now, Olivia

Checking.

16 days, eh? Haven't accomplished much. >.< Sorry about that semi-hiatus. Although I'm back (and blonde as ever!). Be aware for more posts. And follow. And comment. Oh, you know the drill. ;) (Oh, and PS, we're in Turkey right now. Istanbul is lovely at this time of year.)

Ciao for now, Olivia.

Chapter 2.... kinda.

So, yes. I woke up at the Bonebell's house, and it was quite spectacular yet crazy. Now, I shall fast forward through the day, and long story short, Lissie & Lottie probably don't want me in their house or on their show anytime soon. I kinda blew it. Teehee.
Now for some good news. I'm starting a new online newsletter called The Awesome Sauce & the Bad Breath and it's going to be awesome. Hence the whole 'awesome sauce'. Check out the exclusive sneak preview! HELLO! I'M AN EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEEK TO OLIVIA'S BRAND NEW ONLINE NEWSLETTER! CHECK IT OUT & CLICK HERE NOW! :D

Ciao for now, Olivia.

Chapter 1.

I'll be telling you guys a story which is epical yet horrible at the same time. It's far too shocking to tell you in one post, so for your dear convenience, I will be splitting this post into two parts, or as I prefer to call them, 'chapters'.

Ok, so during the past week, Dad brought us to Inverness, Scotland so I could visit Lissie & Lottie, and maybe even score a minor part on their show. That would be awesome on my résumé for when I apply for a job as an actress. Well anyways, when Dad was driving us to the Bonebell residence, we ran out of gas and had to get a tow. I didn't want to wait the full seven hours, so I pleaded for Dad to let Luci & I walk to Lissie/Lottie's house. Come on, it was only three blocks away. He didn't let us because apparently, Inverness is a 'very dangerous' place. So I had to wait seven hours in a towing station. If that wasn't bad enough, I had no WiFi, and Dad was too cheap to buy me 3G, so my phone was pretty useless because I had no apps. All I was left with was an old gummy bear that I found in my back pocket & a stick on the ground. Somehow, Luci & I incorporated a game with the red gummy bear & the stick.

Sometime, I must've dozed off because I woke up on a king-sized bed with French pink sheets,  a thick, cream blanket with dainty lace sides, and a sore neck. Where the heck was I? This place looked quite familiar. I raced through the door & into the hallway, where I found myself the bathroom. I rubbed my neck with some sorta ointment that was labeled 'Neck Cream'. How..original. It didn't help, but it did make my neck smell like apple pie for the rest of the day. I heard a sound, kind of like door opening gently (otherwise known as 'creeeeek') & I screamed. I didn't know what was gonna happen! In the mirror, I saw Lissie with tremendous eye bags & a man with a camera shooting her while brushing her teeth. I'm at the Bonebell's house!

Stay tuned for chapter two. ;]

In which my New Year was quite lovely.

So update number one, I've got an iPhone, or an iPhone 4S, or whatever you wanna call it! 'Twas a late Christmas gift from Dad. And Siri is pretty marvelous. I asked her math problems, and darn is she the ultimate calculator.

Well, as if it were not a surprise, I'm posting via iPhone! :D It's pretty epical, I've gotta say. So I'm obviously really happy. And as if that weren't enough, my New Year's day was spectacular! Luci & I played with sparklers in front of the Colosseum. It was really cool.

Oh right, on to the second update, if you have a YouTube (which I highly recommend you get one!), be sure to check out "Pink Christmas". It's my first lead role in a movie!

Ciao for now, Olivia.
