Puppies, Balls and a Pretty Parasol
I spent last night caring for the Prince and I am happy to say he is feeling much better, we think he was suffering from a bad migraine. To cheer him up today we went and saw the husky puppies at the pet store 
they were quite adorable, though personally I would love to adopt a smaller dog, such as a miniature poodle. We had lunch together, and then returned to the palace where Mirai and I had a mission ahead of us!
Tonight is Tiffy’s school ball, and we were to help her get ready. After much fussing she left looking picture perfect in red satin corset and skirt, her hair done up in braids with matching ribbons and a pretty floral tiara. 
I hope she is having a wonderful night! I really wish there were more balls held around here, I have heard in Vienna they still have a ball season and it is quite fashionable for young people to learn the waltzes and attend in their finest gowns. I quite envy the Viennese!
I recieved a very long parcel today in which was my new parasol from BABY! It is their musical print, but you can hardly tell. I personally adore the contrasting pink on white and the pretty lace print border. Parfait is helping me model for you!

Some student societies around here throws balls about once a year or so, but I think these “modern” student balls feels…fake. I can´t really explain it in words at the moment, but they just don´t have an air of romance around them anymore.
I would really love to attend a carnival ball in Venice though…

Yes, Sofia, I understand what do you mean by “fake”. As an example, I won’t assist to my school ball because, well, there is only one waltz, I think? The rest will be popular music. And the dresses? No magic, no romance, only indecency and decolletes. I wish of a ball were there would be grand classical pieces and true elegance.

My sympathies to the Prince, I suffer from migraines myself on occasion and those are never fun. Glad he is feeling better!
I agree, real, old fashioned type balls would be lovely, and they’d give people more chances to dress up.
Lovely parasol by the way. ^^

Sofia Yes, a carnival ball in Venice would be maginificent! A real masquerade.
Porcelain Princess I heartily agree, the school balls these days seem more like fancy discos, there’s no real classical dance or music.
Olivia Thank you! I will pass along your sympathies. I’ve had a few migraines myself and they are far from pleasant.
Kyu All BABY’s parasols are lovely, I only wish they made a white one, and not allways “off white”
Yuri Me too! I collect parasols, they are one of my favourite accessories and so necessary in Australia.

Princess, I am certain that Tiffy will have been the Belle of the Ball after Your and Mirai’s clever attentions. Hopefully You and Your Prince will find a suitable ball for Your pleasure, or perhaps You could examine the possibility of promoting such a wonderful social event.

I don’t think you can have the romantic balls with the waltzes and the classical music anywhere except Vienna these days. You can still have stunning balls though! I went to one in Oxford where they had done the whole Union building up for the ball. Outside, there were burning torches and a marquee, done up to look opulently 1930s. (The theme was Hollywood Glamour). Inside, the library was set aside for the cloakroom, but all the other rooms had a different feel, a different theme. Seeing as this is a university in England, a lot was centered around drinking, but that can’t really be helped, I guess. The modern music was contained in the debating chamber, the rest was live and jazzy.
If you ever find yourself planning to go to England in early May or mid-to-late June in the next four years, I might be able to get you one (but probably just the one) ticket for a college ball. At college balls, the entire college is used for the ball - very large affairs. I’m missing my own college ball, but I’m in Japan, so I can’t really complain.
