Little Round Chick says:Your title is too funny for words. Interesting selection for Simon. Is he a dark and sinister baddie like Snidely Whiplash? The GGP sugar skull would be singularly appropriate for a first class bad guy. Great pick and it goes so well Simon Lefiligree.

Deb D Grammy Chick says:I love the title! It’s perfect for this interesting pick. Very cool!

J Yee smart chick says:Thanks faerygoth and little round chick!!!
little round chick, regarding your question about this new character, I’m not sure if he is a dark and sinister baddie like Snidely whiplash… however I do like that whimsical lil’ sugar skull, it could represent some other qualities besides negative qualities… such as appearing sinister, but maybe actually having a heart of gold… hopefully Lynn chicky LE will fill us in on the scoop about Simon Lefiligree…

Valentine Chick says:Too funny! As the Bead Turns…

Little Round Chick says:I must have missed the introductory episode of “As the Bead Turns.” When did it premier? And you are right about the lil’ sugar skull it is deceptively cute. Who knows what evil(?) lurks in the heart of the sugar skull? The Shadow knows and so does Smart Chick.

Mayan Chick - Lilly says:Great pick!

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Joyce, this is TOOOOOO funny!!! Thanks for continuing the saga by finally putting a face/skull to the name of Simon LeFiligree, our evil villain! He looks just as deceptive as I imagined he would! Excellent choice!!!
AquaKitty and Simon go waaaaaaay back, having first met in high school. As so often happens, they parted ways after graduation and one took the path of good (AqK) and one took the path of evil (Simon). After many years, their paths have crossed again, in the Battle of the Beads being waged here at LB. How will this battle end? Will good continue to triumph over evil? So far, Simon has tried to outwit AqK, but AqK has bested him in every confrontation. Who will come out on top when the dust and beads settle? Da Da Daaaaaaaaa
To be continued……..

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Little Round Chick, the saga of AquaKitty began back in May (?) on a pick done by Anita/Funny Chick. Lorrie/Bubbly Chick wrote some chapters and so has Kitty/Chicky Cat. You can search for them by going to the search section of Fresh Picks and typing in AquaKitty or AqK. It will bring up all picks with those words in the title. I think there may be 1 or 2 with Simon LeFilegree in the title, too. Happy reading!!!
On Aug 15, 2009 at 6:56 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:BTW, anyone is welcome to add to our continuing saga, so if you have an idea, please contribute it! If you don’t feel like writing a mini-chapter, just suggest your idea to one of us and we’ll run with it! LOL
On Aug 15, 2009 at 6:59 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:LOL Joyce, I totally forgot to tell you how much I love this pick — not just the story!!! Great colors and gem choices! Perfect GGP pieces, of course! Of all the skulls, this is my fave!!!
Did that last sentence sound weird or what?!?! ROTFLOL

Little Round Chick says:Well, I just did a quick read through of the Tales of AquaKitty. Has anyone bothered to compile an anthology of all her tales? Surely there is a publisher out there just looking for new and fresh series of adventure stories. If we work it just right AquaKitty would be set for life with a vast treasure of BEADS and PEARL! Then she could give up her night job if she wanted or just do an occasional trek through the wilds of the LB store room searching for the perfect BEAD.

Bonnie R says:Have you noticed that the 50mm Black Silver Leaf looks like there is a face peeking out on the right hand side?
On Aug 16, 2009 at 1:20 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Bonnie, do you mean the 30mm Black Silver Leaf? I can’t find one in the 50mm size…. Anyway, very cool! Is it another character lurking in the shadows? LOL
On Aug 16, 2009 at 4:15 pm #
J Yee smart chick says:chickies, I also do think that the ongoing saga of Aquakitty and his assorted sidekicks and er hum… former classmates like Simon do deserve a book…
Now I’m curious too about the black silver leaf that you mention Bonnie, which one is it, makes me wonder… who else “lurks” in the LB Bead Garden…
, anyone else see the fab looking gray striped agate that LB had so quickly in the “limited deals” section of this sale, they’re ALL sold out, so I left a comment on the “moving sale” message section asking if they could get more of that fab looking agate…

Valentine Chick says:Chicky LE~ Maybe AquaKitty had something to do with the disappearance of the POD for the day! Could that be the new chapter? The Case of the Missing POD!!!
On Aug 16, 2009 at 4:36 pm #
Little Round Chick says:Brave Little Mermaid is trapped on the ocean floor! She was looking for the Mango Potato that Little Puffer couldn’t find in the vast LB store room. Aqua Kitty and his assorted side kicks are no where to be found! Who will save Brave Little Mermaid? or will she meet an untimely demise?
BTW the onyx and tourmilated quartz are a fine pairing.
On Aug 16, 2009 at 4:43 pm #
Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Very neat pick!!! Love it, especially with the tourmilated quartz. That happens to be my newest obsession.
Always glad to have a new chapter in the saga of our hero Aquakitty! Tell brave little Mermaid to hold on!
On Aug 16, 2009 at 11:43 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Joyce, I agree with you that the striped gray agate would make a fabulous addition to LB’s shelves!!! It looks beautiful!!!
So much yet to learn about AqK and his former classmate, the evil Simon LeFiligree…..if that’s even his real name…… Da Da Daaaaaaaaa

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Ah, yes, “AquaKitty and The Case of the Missing POD” — sounds quite perplexing, doesn’t it, Jen?
On Aug 16, 2009 at 11:50 pm #
Fashion Chick aka SC says:It would be great if the POD returns with a twist. Say maybe a FREE strand of beads for the designer? Perhaps AquaKitty could pass along the idea?
On Aug 16, 2009 at 11:58 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:That’s a great idea, Fashion Chick!!! I’ll suggest that to him! LOL
