Ninth Place

 

Inspiration, Third image: In Enchanted (2007), Giselle fashioned a gown from the curtains found in Robert’s apartment.

 

Setting: A castle garden where a man and woman are talking Character 1 - Giselle Character 2 - Robert Dialogue:
Robert: My dear, you look ravishing today ! Giselle: Thank you darling, do you like it ? Robert: The colors are perfect for your skin ! Giselle: I thought so also, do you like the material ? Robert: I do indeed, so delightful and bright ! Giselle: Does the material remind you of anything ? Robert: Well, now that you mention it, my curtains ! Giselle: Do you think I would make a dress out of curtains ? Robert: No, of course not, that was silly of me ! Giselle: Do you like how it flows all billowy in the breeze ? Robert: I do indeed, the inside panel all filmy and soft ! Giselle: Well, darling did you really like your curtains ? Robert: I do, now hold on a second dear heart ! Giselle: Yes, darling this dress could be made of curtains ? Robert: And now I see that it is, what a talent you are ! Giselle: Oh thank goodness, I thought you would be angry ? Robert: So let me get this straight you are wearing my curtains ! Giselle: Exactly, they were too pretty for a window don't you think ?

This is NOT trash (per your comment on my blog,), Constance. It was inspired by the picture indicated. The only 'improvement" I may suggest is to add the "Setting" (as per the contest description and my example).

what a wonderful creation -- one of the best ones I've seen as entries into the contest. Yours is sharper, cleaner, and crisper. I've struggled with my entry for this contest. Hopefully, I will muddle through it over the next couple of days. :-) Yours inspired me, seriously. Best wishes with the contest and enjoy your evening, hugs, Sara

LOL! Now where did Giselle get that idea? Was it from Scarlet or Carol Burnette? She took Robert on a rabbit trail and at long last he is stunned.
