Gene's Rejuvenating Day at the Salon


This is a story of a beautiful star saddened by her ever increasing sallow body. With options dwindling, what's a gal to do? A day at the salon for a body transplant might just be the answer.

And in no time, Miss Marshall emerges refreshed with a new and improved body. Not only does she look and move like a supermodel but even thinks she's a bit taller. And her skintone is just the way she likes it. Now she is off in search of the perfect fashion for her new look.

  1. Melissa, I love this storyline. Gene has the most gorgeous face and as she moves through the photos she does become more radiant. The face softening photo reminds me of a favorite line from The Women. "Your skin makes the Rockies mountains look like chiffon velvet?" Wow all the hats are fabulous and I love the outfits and your dioramas. Thanks for this. Don

    1. Thank you Megin! I was happy to find that some of my favorite Tonner and D.A.E. Originals' Vivian fashions actually fit better on the Vita body. Melissa
