I Love Shopping

I love shopping for toys :O) I couldn't resist the 50% Ken Barbie sale at TRU. I wish it applied to everything but I'm happy with what it did cover. I was able to fill in a couple of the gaps in my SIS dolls. I also picked up some things because they were cheap and body swaps happen around here. 









I also found myself a Diana Ross doll on the cheap on my eBay spree. She was in a lot with Ricky Ricardo in his tux. I've wanted one of these ladies for a while. They do tend to be a bit pricey at times. She was already on an articulated bod so that made it so much better.  They are both welcome additions to my vinyl world. I need to find something for her to wear she came to me nude.




My Momoko came too and I love her. I needed a brunette in the mix. I will set her free soon.



This pic is totally not doll related. I was out with some friends in the city and we were walking down 5th Avenue and spotted the Louis Vuitton display. All of these are purses and other clothing items made to look like animals. I just loved the concept

    You were bitten by the shopping bug! Awesome stuff. I intentionally stayed away from the TRU sale and looking at your items, it was a wise move on my part. I would not have been able to pass up articulated dolls. I would have been spending some serious bill money. I can't believe you got Diana! She wasn't on my list until last week when I saw someone on flickr who redid her as Janet Jackson. I received 4 dolls in the mail last week, and 4 more are on the way. And my holy grail Colette is on hold for me to buy her in April. Can you say empty refrigerator? Who needs to buy food when you can buy dolls.

Has anyone noticed that Mattel's Creatable World has taken over? Well, I certainly have. So much so that I now own five of their deluxe packages that includes a doll.  They now have single doll packs, deluxe clothing packs, single clothing packs, and wigs too. The deluxe clothing packs have variations from the deluxe packages that includes a doll.  The eight deluxe doll sets Single clothing packs  Deluxe clothes pack  Deluxe clothing pack  Deluxe clothing pack  They have been spotted at Target so far. They may be at Wal-Mart too. I'm not sure.  Have you been seduced by Creatable World?

Candi Girl You Are My World

Image
Like the title say Candi was my world for a moment (cue New Edition). This entry came about as a request from Dana of Philly Collector fame.  I think I saw these ladies in another collectors pictures on one of my doll boards. I had to ask the question and so it began. Candi was a quick detour in my collecting.   My sister-in-law Denise had a couple and I fell more in love. She eventually gave me a couple of hers. I started buying them from Paul David's (huge doll seller). I loved the work of Mikelman on these dolls and fashions. I know the dolls were 1st introduced from Helena Hamilton but Integrity & Mikelman were who I know them from.  I don't remember which was my first but here some of my faves of my collection.

Guess Who?

Hello again.  Is anyone still following? I didn't realize that I haven't updated this blog since May of 2018. I'm really sorry. I've been mostly active on Instagram under @Dollz4moi I'm starting the process of culling my collection. There's still a lot of stuff to go through including that I inherited my sister-in-law's collection. I'm going through the highlights of 2019. My Top Ten. Coming in at number 10 for me is the Drawn to You Misaki and Amelie from the 2017 Integrity Fashion Fairytale convention. Drawn to You Gift Set  I wanted the brunette Amelie from the set. I attended the convention but wasn't drawn to this set (see what I did there, lol). I started seeing her redressed and the hair redone and guess what? Now I needed her. When I started looking She was scarce or priced above what I was willing to pay for her dressed or nude. The set was available in the Integrity shop but I missed it. I kept watch on eBay for a bit. Still c
