Joanna: Alright, girls, boys, get in positions. We’re almost on!
Debra: Parents and loved ones, thank you all for attending this year’s Youth Ballet Recital! These students have been working so hard to prepare for this and they cannot wait to showcase their skills to you all this evening.
Debra fades out: I’d like to thank those who helped make this event possible...
Ella: I’m so excited! I can’t wait for mom and dad to see me on stage!
Karlee bratty: Well, make sure you don’t mess up, Ella!
Ella: What do you mean, Karlee?
Karlee: There’s going to be a lot of people watching us out there. So, don’t mess up or you’ll make us all look bad!
Ella proud: Karlee, I don’t mess up! I’m a great ballerina. I’ll probably be a pro one day like Miss Debra.
Karlee: A pro?! You wish, Ella. You just think you’re better than everyone because you’re a princess or whatever. That doesn’t make you good at ballet!
Victoria: Don’t listen to her, Ella! Karlee just likes to be mean when she’s nervous. We’re all going to do great! Right, Karlee?
Karlee: Whatever...
Ella: Thanks Victoria. I know it’s going to be a great show. Don’t be a downer, Karlee!
Debra: And of course, I want to thank all of you for supporting these young artists today and everyday! Now, let’s get this show on the road! Here are this year’s International School of Ballet’s Youth Ballet students!
Bria whispers: I’m going to pee my pants from excitement... or from this baby on my bladder...
Emmitt: Please don’t, my love.
Bria: I’m so proud! She’s good!
Emmitt: She’s amazing!
Later...
Bria: Baby!!! That was amazing! You were so good! Your dad and I are so proud of you!
Ella: Thanks, mom! Did you see my pirouette? Miss Debra says its been getting better!
Debra laughs: Yes, Ella is simply marvelous. I really believe she has a future in ballet. If I were you, I’d consider some more private training for Ella.
Bria: Really? And you’re not just saying this because you offer private training, right?
Debra chuckles: Oh no, while we do offer private training, I do more of the class training myself, but my wife can help you find the best tutor for Ella within our company. I really believe Ella has a natural talent.
Emmitt: Well, I don’t see why not! Right, honey?
Ella: Yay!
Bria: Alright, sign us up!
Thanks again @budgie2budgie for these adorable ballet decos!

Julia: First to hit the press box are some of the Duchess of Umbrage’s relatives including her cousin, Maia Adler and her two children, May and Kali.
Julia: Maia is wearing the infamous strawberry dress. Her young daughter, Kali, dazzles in a pink dress with sequins while her oldest daughter, May, opted for an orange jumpsuit with bright yellow accents!
Julia: It’s no surprise that Maia and her family would be in attendance as she and Grand Duchess Bria are quite close and often refer to each other as sisters. Maia and both her girls were featured in KBE promotions which supported the sell out of the line. We anticipate that Maia and/or her daughters will grace us on the runway as well tonight.
Julia: Next we have Brittney Simself, TRH Grand Duke and Duchess of Umbrage’s PR Manager. Tonight, she’s wearing a sequin leopard print dress, sparkly black thigh high boots, and bold red lips. Ms. Simself will be the show’s MC tonight.
Julia Martinez: Next on the red carpet is the Simsten family. You probably know Debra Simsten for her fruitful ballet career. She’s performed multiple times in SimDonia and even met HRH Duchess Ella of Umbrage. Debra recently opened a ballet studio in Brindleton Bay with wife, Joanna, which her daughter, Victoria, is enrolled, as well. Rumors state that the Duchess of Umbrage will be joining the ballet school in the upcoming season.
Julia: Rounding out the Simerica guests is the Young Entrepreneurs Reward recipient, Noemi Pierson and her plus one and famous sister, Melany Pierson, daughter of the late Brytani Cho. Noemi has big dreams to be the CEO of her own business! As the reward winner, she will get a tour of KBE along with a meeting with the Grand Duchess of Umbrage herself!
Julia: The lovely ladies are twinning in black and silver sequined mini dresses by @balmainforsims along with daring updos that we’re currently obsessed with! Congrats on winning Noemi!
Look at @storiesbyjes2g’s girls!!! They are way too cute!
HRH Grand Duchess of Bria’s Staff Join the #WearKBE Campaign
Looks like another successful launch for HRH Grand Duchess Bria of Umbrage and her lastest KBE Collection. Sims all over the world are sharing their sims in their KBE gear and with their KBE PR boxes.
Members of the Duchess’s staff share photos including Jade Anderson who is the Director of Operations of KBE Simerica. She shares a photo on the KBE Simstagram inside the KBE Newcrest store with the pink polo.
Celebrity publicist and friend to the Grand Duchess, Brittney Simself, shares her KBE Box and her favorite sweater for the collection. We love the white beret she added to the look!
Famous Ballerina and coach to HRH Duchess Ella of Umbrage, Debra Simsten, shares her pink box on Simstagram! The photo includes her wife, Joanna, and her embracing in front of the big pink box. Debra donned the KBE sweater while Joanna opted for the “Bria is My Queen” long sleeve.
We’re excited to see more sims in KBE!
After the show, the models headed backstage to prepare for the after party, take photos, and celebrate a great show!
Jade flagged down Noemi and Bria to talk about the KBE Headquarters tour that Noemi won.
Jade: Bria officially meet Noemi, our contest winner! I was just about to head upstairs with her to show her the offices.
Bria: Omg! It’s so nice to meet you, Noemi! You know what, Jade? We have time before the afterparty. I’ll give her the tour!
Noemi: Wow, thank you, Your Royal Highness!
Bria laughs: Just Bria is fine. Let’s go!
Bria: This is one of my favorite spots because the view of the runway is spectacular! We also did the Queen Collection photoshoot up here.
Noemi amazed: So cool!
Bria: Okay, I totally lied. This is my favorite spot! My office where all the dreams come true!
Noemi: It’s really pretty. Very Bria.
Bria: Thank you! Aesthetics are really important. A beautiful office sparks beautiful ideas!
Noemi: I love that! Is it okay if I ask you some questions?
Bria: Sure, have a seat. Okay, shoot!
Noemi: How did you take the plunge on being your own boss? Weren’t you scared? Didn’t you ever feel like you just... weren’t capable or ready?
Bria: Oh my Watcher, all. the. time! Literally constantly and at every step of the way. It’s so normal. But, the key is to have a good support system. People who believe in you and your dreams. I can tell by you’re amazingly dressed sister out there that you probably already have that. Rely on them. There is nothing you can’t conquer when you have the people you love by your side.
Bria and Noemi head backstage as the after party was beginning soon.
Noemi: Thanks so much for the advice, Bria! And for everything! I’m having a great time.
Bria: Yay! I’m so glad to hear it. Have fun at the afterparty. Let’s bring it in for a hug!

Bria: Well, it sounds like you have a crush Grayson. Why else would you be at your sister’s ballet class with me to talk about her?
Debra: And a 1...2...3....4. Good job, Victoria!
Grayson: Okay, fine I’ll admit that it might be a crush, but I don’t know. Seems like it doesn’t make sense to do anything about it.
Bria: Why not?
Grayson: Because, she’s in SimDonia, I’m here. She’s a Countess and a Lord’s daughter. I’m just Grayson.
Bria: Just Grayson? Honey, you are The Grayson and any girl would be lucky to have a sweet, caring, thoughtful guy like you. And no, I’m not just saything that because I’m your mom. But, you know if you want to be involved in SimDon-
Grayson: I know, Mom. I had this talk with Emmitt already. I just... I don’t know. I don’t think I want that life... It’s not really my thing.
Bria: Well, you know Em and I will be happy no matter what you choose to do. Your stepdad just wants you to know he supports you. You know he is going to SimDonia in a couple weeks for the museum opening and I’m pretty sure he mentioned Lord Donovan attending. Perhaps he’ll bring his daughter?
Grayson: Mom, are you suggesting I fly out to SimDonia with Emmitt for an event on the chance that my new crush might be there?
Bria gives Grayson a knowing look.
Grayson laughs: Alright, I’ll talk to Emmitt. But, when are you? Are you guys fighting or something?
Debra: Alright, let’s bring our soloists to the front. And go!
Bria: Oh, look! There goes my baby!
Debra: Excellent girls! Great form, Ella!
Bria: Whooo! That’s my baby!!!
As always, the theatre had large crowds awaiting the arrival of Emmitt and his family. “Simderalla” was still showing and Emmitt and Bria couldn’t wait for little Ella to experience a real ballet.
The three made their way up to their usual Royal box which was heavily secured due to the uptick in press Emmitt and his family were getting.
While Emmitt and Bria enjoyed the show, as always, the true best time was had by little Ella. To see ballerinas on tv and to see them in real life were truly so different.
Ella was in awe at the beautiful ladies dancing along the stage.
Ella in wonder: Omg! They are so pretty!
That wasn’t the end for the new ballet fan. She went backstage to meet the lead ballerina herself. Emmitt and Bria could only describe the look on her face as someone who’d just met their idol!
