We'll Always Have Paris Metro

At least, I hope we do.  In this post are photos of twelve, twelve, outfits that Lludmila has snagged free from Paris Metro or their art gallery for just visiting or as part of a hunt.  If they never give out one more thing, they have certainly contributed more than necessary to the beautification of avatars.  Witness:
 Pink and black animal print gown, bronze gown, yellow print dress and hat.
 Gowns in Lludmila's favorite end of the spectrum (note how happy she is in the center photo where she also has that gathered chiffon at the top - she just loves that!).
 Pink to purple gowns - Oooo, have to love the pink organza with the black spots!
Pants outfit, black and silver outfit with the gathering up top again (Woot!) and something with a touch of red.

I had taken all the photos, arranged them and photoshopped them, and then what happens?  There's another free gown!  Are these people crazy or what?  This is the Barbie experience I didn't have as a child.  Oh sure, I had dolls (I had Midge, actually - I was destined just to be someone's sidekick, I suppose) but my parents weren't going to shell out for the outfits.   I had to be content with clothes made from scraps or just fancy handkerchiefs tied around Midge's neck.  

Lludmila is my little Zombarbie.  But, oddly enough, decades later I can't bring myself to shell out for outfits either.  Wonder where that came from, eh?  Thank you, Paris Metro, for allowing me to live out my Barbie fantasy ... for free.  Y'all are just too nice.  Put up a tip jar or something.

Note on the skirts: I especially like the way the panels move, so I'm always snapping a photo either right after attaching the skirt (which means taking it off and putting it on again a few times) or after switching poses, whichever gives just the right flounce or twirl.
