Dollz4moi's Vinyl Musings

I have to admit to myself t hat I have a small MH addiction. No, it's not that big a deal. I love certain characters. I found out from a friend where to find the Scaris line of dolls. The y may be old new s but they are new to me. I went and found 3 that I l ove . I found the deluxe Scaris Rochelle Goyle, Clawdeen Wolf, & Jinafire Long !! An early birthday gift to me :O) I love Jinafire.. her coloring is gorgeous. I like her eyes even if some consider them big. I figure hey she's a dragon so shouldn't her eyes be a little oversize? My next favorite from this line is Clawdeen. I love her and the outfit. The belt is not my favorite but her outfit is cute. I love that she has an Eiffel Tower earring. Just look at her :O)  I love Rochelle's shoes oh heck her whole outfit is tr es chic..oui? I don't need her since I like the 1st version better . This lady is going into the MH sell pile but the clothes stay Now I need to find Scaris Ghoulia ...

The holidays are fast approaching and I hav e t o start by saying Happy Hanukkah to everyone.  I have had a long overdue photo shoot with some of my ladies. I have been neglecting my dolls as of late so it was nice to get them out.  I visited a friend and Christmas is in full swing in her beautiful home. She allowed me to take pictu res of my ladies in & around her beautiful decorations.       

Today was the day I was going to over to my awesome friend Cecile's , Chynadoll Creations , h ouse to play. Things happened and well we couldn't get together this weekend do we had a virtual play da te and decided to share it with you all . We both redressed some ladies and here are my results :O) I redressed All in White Colette, Strict Elegance Luchia, an d Main Event Adele. I hope you all like. All the ladies clothing was made by Kathi Stareprawo of  Frau E fame. The bags and the nec klace that Adele is wearing is also by Frau E. The rest of the jewelry is all from Integrity. Colette's boot s are from Mattel. This was fun and I have more ladies to dress

I know you're all shaking your heads at this new title. This has become a necessary thing to do. This is not pointed at anyone in particular so take no offense (I mean it). I started this blog for me and my hobby which is my dolls and toys that I love. I enjoy sharing certain things wi t h those who do take their time out and read my ramblings. I give so many kudos to you all for this I thank you.  My point is this is MY BLOG. I choose what to post & when. I see so many who put this pressure on themselves to keep the masses (their followers) happy. If you don't post to your blog but once a month that's your prerogative . I would hope that people choose to follow because of similar interests and love of dolls & toys. If I checked tomorrow and no one followed or read my blog my worl d will not end. I say that simply to say if you don't enjoy your blog or posting then stop. Anything that does not bring you joy and happiness (the same thing I know) stop doing it. ...

I'll start with Happy Halloween. We survived Sandy but the cleanup will be going on for a while. I posted these pics on Facebook but I'll put them here as well. We had water 40 feet from our do or. Thank God it receded but the mess it left behind. Most of the pics are from the water & wind damage Yes that is a tanker that got washed up down the street from us. I thank God that ever y one survived. I've heard from lots of family and friends. Now I hope the cleanup gets underway quickly . I need t o get back to the city for work & my sanity.  

Well friends it's 7:45pm and all is well for now. There has been a lot of wind and some flooding down the street from me. It's a little scarier now that the sun has gone down. I can usually see Manhattan from my bedroom or kitchen window.  It's not there now. I just hope & pray that everyone stays safe throughout this.  I will try to post again if we still have power .

Sorry this took a little longer than anticipated. I overslept but I'm in under my deadline :O) Day 3 - I went to the WClub luncheon and the centerpiece was the lovely Elise. I had the chance to buy her but sold her to a bigger fan than I.   We also received a gorgeous FR2 shoe pack (no pic yet). Three sets of shoes for the FR2's in your life. After lunch it was nap time or packing time in my case. I actually started to get everything together Friday night. I decided not to ship a thing O_o . So before the final Saturday night dinner I worked my suitcases like a game of Tetris..LOL. I still ended up buying a duffle bag to use as my 2nd carry on for the plane ride home. My recap is not as full as some others but I'm getting to the goodies now. I may have to put up a Part III for a couple of other things I picked up. I did stick with my list but a couple of other goodies slipped in LOL  From the convention collection I came home with 3 ladies. Adele, Colette, &...

I know I still owe you all Part II of my convention recap but I've been sidetracked. I have started my selling spree again. If you go to the Sales tab above and click on my ebay sales. I've got some FR, Monster High, and there will be some clothing & more. Part II of convention recap will be up later this afternoon or evening. Think of this as a commercial interruption..LOL Hey this also my 100th post..WOOHOO!!

The convention was held at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando, Florida. We arrived at the hotel on early Wednesday afternoon. This was the view from our room inside & out.  balcony shot outside Gorgeous right :O) Here are some shots of the lobby. There are some beautiful Asian themed items there.  I love the jade ship in the lobby. view from balcony inside hotel My travel dolls I chose for this trip were Nadja & Erin. Erin sort of got waylaid as it took too much time to redress two dolls everyday, so Nadja got the full time job as it were. Reese belongs to my friend & convention roommate Cecile of Chynadoll Creations   fame (adorable isn't she?). Nadja Erin Reese Day 1 - Room shopping was 1st then hit the meet & greet by the pool. No pictures but a fun time was had by me. I was even mistaken for someone famous..LOL. Not sure who they thought I was but I made 3 new friends Day 2 - Thursday Was up bright and ear...
