This is a dress I designed way back in second grade.

St. Patrick's Day

Last night I designed this St. Patrick's Day dress. I also wrote a letter and left it for the leprechaun. 

Dear Leprechaun, I really want to know your name, and want to know if you are a boy or a girl, and will you be friends with me? My name is Leslie Rose Watson. I am nine years old and I was born in 2000, February 18th. I was also wondering if you could clean my room and for payback I will let you stay in my house for the spring, and please make a hole in the wall and have a slide and a bouncy trampoline at the end and a treasure map and please give me a rat named Leslie Rose Watson, Jr., a female.

Sincerely. Leslie Rose Watson

P.S. I will help you clean the room if you wake me up.

Well, when I woke up, my room was still messy. Mom was making pancakes and they turned green like the always do on St. Patrick's Day. The milk too! While I was feeling sad about the leprechaun not answering my letter, the printer in my Dad's office started printing and there was a note from the leprechaun, and in green ink! It said: 

Dear Leslie Rose Watson,

        I’m afraid you have me confused with some other magical creature.  We Leprechauns are mischievous and love to make messes – not clean them up.  And we don’t leave presents – we take your things and hide them.  We’re not bad or mean.  We just like to have fun!

        As far as bringing you a rat, you might want to ask the Easter Bunny.  I hear he brings presents sometimes.  But I saw your room.  Where will you keep your rat?  It’s pretty messy in there.  Are you a Leprechaun, too?

        Have fun today finding all the things I and my fellow Leprechauns have been hiding.  Thanks for the offer to stay with you, but I would miss my family.  I’ll come back to visit you again next year!

Fairy Ballet Dress

This is a fairy ballet dress that they perform in, and also they usually wear them when they are doing private profile photo shoots about the show.

Bouncy Ball Dress

This is my Bouncy Ball Dress. Whenever you fall down, you bounce back up!

Two New Designs

The dress to the left is called the Sunny Dress. I like to call it that because whenever you get scared it lights up. And it also comes in PJs!

The dres of the right is the Cuddly Dress. It's made out of fake fur, and I say if you use rat fur, you're insane! 

I love pet rats, especially the one I am going to get this month after I clean my room. 

His  name is Orlando, after Orlando Bloom. Orlando Ratatat Watson.

The Fairy Queen's Dress

This is the Fairy Queen wearing her royal gown. It has diamonds on it and a spider web to hold it together.

Leslie Rose Watson interviewed by her Father

Dad: Your new Christmas dress is lovely. It’s low-cut, off the shoulders, and it has a nice, wavy green belt.

Leslie: Well, it’s not actually a belt. It’s a tie-around that is attached to the dress.

Dad: Oh, so it just looks like a belt. Where do you find your inspiration?

Leslie: I find my inspiration from Mom wearing all her dresses, like the one with all the sparkles on it, and how it shines in the moonlight. And I was thinking about making a candy dress too.

Dad: Ooh, that sounds yummy. Tell me about that.

Leslie: It’s going to have a rainbow lollipop on the chest. And a licorice belt, and a maybe Laffy-Taffy shoes.

Dad: I bet you would feel funny wearing shoes like that.

Leslie: No, they’re hard. They never melt.

Dad: Back to the Christmas dress. The bottom seems to slant to one side. Is that a new fashion?

Leslie: It’s actually going to the back of the dress, like a wedding dress.

Dad: And what is that in her hair?

Leslie: I did that to show my strawberry-blonde hair. You could use ribbon, or die, or…

Dad: Licorice?

Leslie: No. That would be for the candy dress.

Dad: I love the heads you draw for your models. Tell me how you came up with your model’s look?

Leslie: If you look at people straight in front of them, their heads are mostly flat. Plus, my friend Maria taught me to draw like that.

Dad: What’s next after the candy dress?

Leslie: Maybe a cotton candy dress?

Dad: I see a candy theme developing here. Aren’t you afraid people will eat their dresses?

Leslie: You can only eat the dresses if you own them. And I plan on making them cheap, about two dollars, so everyone in the world can own one.

Dad: Sounds like a great marketing plan. Thank you for talking with me today. I can’t wait to see your next creation.

Leslie: Thanks. I had a really fun time. And, we might be able to send this to the president. His daughters might like my designs.
