Oh!  The day is finally here!   I jumped out of bed.  It was the day I had been waiting for!  Me and my spectacular Nina were going to a fabulous play downtown.

One winter day me and my spectacular Nina went to a fabulous play downtown. 

I wore a beautiful sparkly blue dress that my very special Nina bought for me.  It had a white shiny jewel of Cinderella on the top of the dress.  I wore an enormous can-can under my dress.  Can-cans are poofy and itchy.  It amazingly makes my dress flare when I spin like a ballerina.  

My terrific high heels glow when I walk like a princess.  I wore fantastic pink and purple eye shadow, lip gloss and blue stick-on earrings of Cinderella.  My curly hair was in a beautiful bun.  I wore a beautiful headband.  I was magically beautiful in my Cinderella costume.
