It's Almost Fall! And Mario Party News!

Hey Guys!

   Well, Summer blew by fast! So much happened in the past few months that I wasn't keeping tabs on time. I almost got too busy to post! But here I am, so let's chat shall we? To update on my personal life, I'm just finishing up the preparations for Isle Delfino's "End of Summer Festival" that's going to kick off on Thursday the 21st. Everything is going just as planned, and all the venues look great! I'll be sure to get pictures posted either the day of or during the weekend when I'm at the Bros' house.

   Speaking of Bros. Luigi called me to give me good news. Mario and Peach are finally home and safe! OMIGOSH I can't wait to see them, I've been worried sick! After I heard of what Bowser did to Mario and why he kidnapped Peach I wanted to jump in and help so bad! I tried getting Luigi to let me talk to Mario, but he insisted that the poor guy was exhausted and wanted to let him rest. But before I hung up I reminded Luigi about the Festival and wanted to see if they all could come. Luigi said it sounded fun, and that he wanted to come with Daisy. So that's nice.

   Next up... How about that Nintendo Direct! My Blog Editor sent me the footage and we both flipped at everything! The one thing that we are both excited for though is "Mario Party: The Top 100"! My Blog Editor LOVES Mario Party, she told me that the first one on the N64 was the first video game she ever played, and it's still her favorite! I too have an untold love for Mario Party as well, it's almost like a class reunion every time it comes around! The locales that they go to have been awesome as well, like how Toadsworth managed to book an entire cruise ship for Mario Party 7! Of course nothing can top those original boards! Mario's Rainbow Castle is my personal favorite! This upcoming Mario Party is going to be one heck of a nostalgia trip. I also couldn't help but notice Mario's swanky new outfit for the occasion, looks sharp! But he won't be the only one dressed to the nines! My cute little party dress is sure to impress! I totally can't wait for it to be here! November can't come soon enough!

   Well, as much as I want to talk more, I gotta jet. There are still a couple of things for the Festival that I have to oversee! Hopefully the next time I see you I'll have pictures of the Festival, Mario and Peach! For now I leave you with a pic of me modeling my party dress! Blog ya soon!

In case you're wondering about the
lighting, the studio I did this at was
experimenting with new lights.
We apologize if it doesn't look just right!
