Lilli Lalka's Lazy Afternoon

We all need, here and there, a break from the mad rush. And sometimes, in summer, a veritable paresse overcomes our most focused intentions and the magic of repose takes place. 

Dolldom is delighted to celebrate summer with the radiance of Julian Kalinowski's Lilli Lalka doll. For this exclusive entry, Lilli Lalka epitomizes sunshine with styles perfect for, well, spending a very lazy afternoon. With color saturated fabrics by David Rose Designs and straw hats by London milliner Waka Murai, this will be one après-midi of luxuriating relaxation.

Lilli Lalka herself requested that this entry be accompanied by Marlene Dietrich singing (like nobody else could) "Lazy Afternoon" by Jerome Moross and John La Touche.

It's a lazy afternoon
And the beetle bugs are zoomin'
And the tulip trees are bloomin'
And there's not another human in view

But us two.

It's a lazy afternoon
And the farmer leaves his reapin'
In the meadow cows are sleepin'
And the speckled trout stop leapin' up stream
As we dream.

A fat pink cloud hangs over the hill
Unfoldin' like a rose
If you hold my hand and sit real still
You can hear the grass as it grows.

It's a hazy afternoon
And I know a place that's quiet, 'cept for daisies running riot
And there's no one passing by it to see
Come spend this lazy afternoon with me.
