The first episode this weekend was all about ten year-old Tia and her family. Each year the family celebrates Tia’s adoption day…grateful for their family. Their family has been going through some hard times yet still they find time to remain active in their community. So when the special day came, Tiffany wanted to do something extra-special for them.
It was touching to think that Tiffany was willing to eat the cost of the party so that Tia could spend the day as a princess/diva -priva! However her parlettes were not happy about the concept of working for free. With reluctant and quiet yeses, Tiffany moved on to her sister. “You know I don’t work for free” Terra told her sister. As a mom with small children, it was hard for her to make the sacrifice. The Pink Pastry Parlor is Tiffany’s dream…not necessarily Terra’s. She pulled out all the emotional sister baggage trying to get her sister to volunteer. I was thinking….why not barter with her? Tiffany should have offered to watch her kids for a night or help her complete a project on her list. Instead, Tiffany caved and told her sister she would pay her. In sister fashion, the conversation wasn’t a quiet one. Parlettes overheard causing a mutiny! They were furious.
Being called on the floor by her own employees, Tiffany walked into an angry group of “volunteers” who suddenly found the strength to stand up for themselves. Admitting it wasn’t fair; Tiffany decided to pay them all. It was the right thing to do. However with all the heart, love and money Tiffany was throwing into this party, the drama still wasn’t over. Her oven suddenly wasn’t working. Fortunately they got the oven online and the priva cupcakes made it to the party. Arriving in a pink hummer limo, the girls began their day of pampering and fun….a perfect was to celebrate Tia’s loving family. Her mom gave a speech and it was so sweet, except for the part where she told her daughter that she came from nothing and was making something out of herself. However I am certain is was all with the best of intention and the love was obvious. Tia was truly a beautiful Priva!
The second episode focused on Denim, a serious 8 year old Diva. It took a lot to impress this little girl. When the mom suggested a pajama sorority party, Demin was less than enthusiastic. As Tiffany mentioned candy and food, Denim noted her preference …a chocolate and strawberry buffet. She did perk up as they discussed pranks to pull on the one who was first to fall asleep. Oh my, it was clear this was going to be interesting especially since it was an overnight party. Let me interject – as someone who has thrown multiple overnighters with anywhere from 30 to 50 kids, overnighters are ROUGH. No one will be sleeping! [read more…]
