My opera doll figurine will have to suffice for now.<\/p>\n<p>*Photocredit: Amazon.com<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2334 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/?attachment_id=2335'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivias-opposites-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivias-opposites-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivias-opposites.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/?attachment_id=2336'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivia-and-the-missing-toy-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivia-and-the-missing-toy-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivia-and-the-missing-toy.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/?attachment_id=2337'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivia-counts-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivia-counts-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivia-counts.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/?attachment_id=2338'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivia-forms-a-band-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivia-forms-a-band-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivia-forms-a-band.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/?attachment_id=2339'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivia-saves-the-circus-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivia-saves-the-circus-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivia-saves-the-circus.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/?attachment_id=2341'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivia-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivia-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivia.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/?attachment_id=2342'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivias-big-christmas-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivias-big-christmas-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.nycupcake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/olivias-big-christmas.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olivia is my favorite children&#8217;s book as an adult.
