Darth Vader


Though we should keep clear of the darkside, Tiago and Mia have a strange fascination with the Star Wars movies. Tiago can be heard singing Darth Vader's theme song frequently and was even sung for an Aunt instead of the birthday song.

So when my mom made a gorilla tape replica of me*, Tiago sweetly asked "Grandma, why are you taping up my mommy in that thing? It looks like Darth Vader."
Why would you want such a beast?




Well, nothing says made for you when the clothes are a perfect fit for an imperfect body. I found out that I am totally lopsided for one and I figure I will use that as blame for my ill fitting clothes. Here what will come of such darkness: (my sister's creations on her "Charlotte" aka her version of Darth Vader)





Thanks mom for being so eager to help me look gorgeous or at least well tailored. You are more then wonderful.




*a long process involving much gorilla and duct tape along with scissors to cut you out and a pillow to stuff your form perched onto some plastic tubing

Your Mom is amazing! I've never known anyone to have their own personal replica - well, not anyone who isn't a superstar! I guess you are :). Glad all is going well. Congrats on the 1st grader. We are having our own 1st grade fun moments. It's fun to see everyone growning up.
