Dear Playmofriends  :wave:

Those of you who have followed my project of "Summer Garden Party on Regent St" are already aware of the amazing response of my Friends from the online Playmo communities accross the world who have said YES to participate to the project by creating a unique character to fit in the colorful and numerous cast !

I must admit that when I first drawn the shape of the future grand gardens on sheets of A3 paper I would never have dreamed that one day, I would receive creations from some of the most creative and talented members of our Community.

Thanks to the wonderful idea of our Friend Tonguello ( Gaston ) who first offered to create a character to join my happy little Victorians in their summer adventures on Regent St, I have received over the past three months parcels from countries as diverse as Argentina, USA, Greece, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France and of course England.

In each of these parcels, were little characters lovingly packaged accompanied by a little hand written note from my Friends and this is for me, nothing short of magical and I would like to thank them all from the bottom of my heart  :love:

I have created this thread as a THANK YOU to those who have created these wonderful characters and a reminder of who is who as far as Summer Garden Party on Regent St is concerned.

The Cast & Guest Stars of Summer Garden Party on Regent St

Milady de Winter created by our Friend Gis from the Netherlands ( Playmofriends )





The evil and deadly seductress from Alexandre Dumas novel "The Three Musketeers" is being played by Eleanora Duse, the most famous Italian actress of her time and archrival of Sarah Bernhardt. Her beauty was legendary and so was her appetite for men and fashion. She was simply known as "Duse"  :love:

Thank you dear Friends  :wave:

Sarah Bernhardt created by our Friend Lazoutte from France ( Tricornejock.com )





Still celebrated today as one of the greatest actresses of all times, the Divine Sarah as she was known was legendary on both sides of the Atlantic. Her incredible beauty and talent filled theatres in Europe and America. As the world was running short of superlatives to describe the Divine Sarah, she decided that money was far too common for her fees and demanded to be paid in sumptuous jewels which will not fail to attract certain predators in tuxedo  ;)

Lady Van den Hesse created by our Friend Tonguello ( Gaston ) from Argentina ( Playmofriends )





Lady Van den Hesse is the queen of high society and is celebrated from New York to London and Paris. Born from a wealthy family in Buenos Aires ( Argentina ) she now defines etiquette wherever she goes and is feared accordingly as one word from her can make or break a reputation. Her impeccable taste for organising lavish parties is well known and this summer garden party on Regent St should be no exception. She is the Aunt of Lady Charlotte Waldorf Astor

Lady Charlotte Waldorf Astor created by our Friend Emma Jane  from England ( Playmofriends )





Lady Charlotte was born Waldorf and later married into the prominent Astor family. We catch up with her as she returns from New York on the latest Cunard Steamer to prepare the opening of the Summer Season in London. Her husband, Lord John Rudolph Astor is still in New York working on his latest business venture : the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

So many magnificent creations, and Karim, you have showcased them beautifully here. Thank you for re-introducing them to us, so we can get to know who's who a little better. It must be so exciting for you getting to examine up close these customs from so many different skilled artists. What a privilege that is! Thank you so much for planning this wonderful party. :love:

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.
