"Penelope! Kate is ready for you in mum and dad's room." Lindsay, Harry's assistant, pokes her head into Penny's bedroom. The three-year-old's little finger pauses on the trigger of her camera. Placing the mint green memory catcher on the floor, she bolts out the door into the hallway.
"Who Tate?" Penny asks Lindsay, wrapping her tiny fingers around the kind woman's hand.
"Kate is the stylist. Remember the lady who brings all the clothes for daddy?" Lindsay smiles at Penelope before they turn the corner and walk straight into the master bedroom. Penny nods her head, remembering the racks of clothing that come through the door often. "She is helping you get ready for Nan's 66th birthday party tonight."
Penny surveys the room: five different rails are placed around the room, one for each member of the family.
"Kate, I have Penny. She is ready for you." Lindsay announces to the stylist.
"Oh I've been excited for this one! The Gucci gems I have picked for her are brilliant." Kate claps her hands together in excitement.
"No Gucci." Penny is blunt, looking up at the woman like she descended from space in a UFO.
"No Gucci?" Kate looks shocked. Did those words just get uttered in this house? Let alone the master bedroom? "Oh Penelope! Don't be silly. I have lots of dresses with sparkles!!" Her voice sings as she attempts to pull the three-year-old into the world of fashion.
"No spaw-kles." Releasing her grip on Lindsay's hand she folds her arms across her chest. "I not Gwacie Bug." Her eyebrows kink in an offended expression.
"Oh no sweetheart! Grace is wearing florals. Let me show you!" Kate walks over to the bathroom where the glam squad awaits. "Hey Grace love, can you come and show your sister your outfit?"
"Oh, Penny wants to see MY outfit?" Grace's hand rests on her chest, flattered at the fact that Kate wants to show off Grace's full Gucci outfit. The oldest sister walks out of the bathroom and into the Master bedroom. "Penny, wanna see my outfit?"
"No tank-you." Penny shakes her head. Turning on her heel, she steps her foot on the side of the bed frame, hoisting her body onto the bed. Laying on her tummy, Penelope props her head up her two hands.
"P, look! My outfit is all Gucci! Gucci is fashion! Fashion is fun!" Grace twirls in place, showing off her black dress covered in gold leaves, cream leather jacket decorated with pink florals and a pink bow, plus green socks that land on her knee.
"Mmm.. no fass-on for P." Penny is unamused. Crossing her feet in the air, she kicks them down, bouncing them off the mattress and back up to her bum.
"See Penelope, no sparkles, just lots of flowers." Kate shows Penelope the outfit her sister is wearing. "The sparkles would be different than Grace." Pulling out a baby blue ruffle dress, glittered with gold around the collar and a big glitter bow around the waist, she asks, "Do you like this one?"
