Charlotte is in desperate need of some summer pajamas. Since the only nightgowns you can buy in the store have Disney characters splattered all over them and are made out of polyester, I decided to make Charlotte some nightgowns out of old t-shirts. I figured my old Robin Sparkles Mall Tour 1993 shirt would be perfect for the first test project. (Please ignore the fact that I messed up and made the armholes waaaaaaay too big and did a cruddy job finishing them because the way I cut the shirt didn't leave enough scraps for binding.)
In order to convince Charlotte to put on the nightgown, I educated her on all things Robin Sparkles. She is, of course, the fictional 90s Canadian pop star from the show "How I Met Your Mother". I looked up the video for "Let's Go to the Mall" on the computer and Charlotte was entranced. (Peter liked the video too, but only because there was a robot in it.) After watching the video, Charlotte willingly put on the nightgown then. After I took a few pictures she insisted on me taking a video of her. Peter couldn't stand being left out, so he jumped up to be a backup dancer/singer. Yes, that is a dog collar he is wearing around his waist as a "utibbity bewt" (aka a "utility belt" a la Batman).
Is anyone worried that we missed the opportunity to get these two into show business while we had a chance? Me neither. They may, perhaps, have promising futures in Ultimate Sibling Smackdown cage matches.

They are like Sophia Grace and Rosie on Ellen. Peter is Charlotte's hype guy.
