"Premiere" Dreams

Image
My newest title gives way to the fact that I'm still dreaming about all the fun I had in L.A. at the Fashion Royalty Premiere Convention. We flew out of Newark airport on United Airlines. The flight was six hours oy vey. Thank goodness I had my travel dolls with me. This year I chose a classic and a newer doll to accompany me. Let me introduce Morgan (Splendid Jordan) & Antoinette (Urban Antoinette Adele) The flight out was 6 hours long. When did it become the norm for airlines to charge you for everything except water & soda. Maybe  it's me or the airline I chose..LOL.  We arrived safe & sound. Day 1: We arrived the day before the actual festivities.   There was a pumpkin carving contest put on by the hotel employees. I really liked this one. My ladies couldn't resist a photo op. I met up with my friend Cecile aka Chynadoll Creations. First thing I unpacked was my shopping bags. I was tired as all get out but shop I must. I use the big bags from

Still Going...

I'm still in the process of clearing out my clutter. If I knew the task would take this long I would've cloned myself..LOL I've started listing everything on ebay so if you need some new goodies. You can click the Sales Page at the top or here's my link to ebay I listed some Silkstones, Convention goodies,  Madame Alexander, & some Fashion Royalty. Back to the grind as they say :O)

Friends, Food, & Dolls..Oh My

I'm still here just not posting.... I've been trying to keep to my clearing things out task. I have a lot to go but I have to take the pics to post the stuff to sell. I've never enjoyed the whole organizing thing even if it is necessary :O/  I took time out of my agonizing task to go out with friends for food & doll time. Any doll time is necessary. My friends Marti, Joelle, Ebony, & my sweetie John met at Brother Jimmy's BBQ. The food is delicious but must remind myself not to go eat when I'm starving LOL. A good time was had by all. We discussed the newest releases coming from Integrity, Mattel, and just new stuff in general.  After eating Ebony, John, & I headed to Bryant Park for some doll fun. I must admit John was OK with our doll fun :O) Here are some pics. My models of choice are Eden, Annik, Adele aka Ms. One, Natalia, & Dania. Ebony's ladies are Ayumi & Darla. Our photo sessions ended early due to the heat and a sudden rainstor

Been Busy Working On Downsizing

Hey everyone sorry to be M.I.A. but I've been working on my goal of downsizing the collection. I've been sorting and boy is this work..phew. I've come across stuff I forgot I bought. I started listing on ebay. I'm trying to keep the auctions manageable by doing 20 or so at a time.  I have lots of stuff going so click the link at the top for my sales link to my eBay page :O) But just in case here it is again: Dollz4moi's Auctions P.S. Don't let shipping quotes scare you off. I will send correct invoices

I Just Couldn't Resist

I can't believe it's been so long since I posted.  Time sure flies and I've been having fun. I have so much to catch up on, some old some new. I know you're all curious about the tit le so let's get to it.. So last week or was that two weeks ago Kmart had the unheard of Buy 1 Get 1 Free on all Barbie and they meant ALL. I ran to the Big K to see what was left. I missed out on my first $20 discount on BC.com but Kmart so made up for it. The beauty was no shipping costs :O) So I managed to get the following goodies Look dolls & outfits Katniss, Look clothing, & Spain I paid for the dolls first then the clothing .  I found and bought t he Look dolls f or $24.99 and the outfits for $19.99. Katniss was on sale for $24.99 from $32. Katniss and Spain were $24.99 and the outfits the same as the first set. So I spent $90 on what would cost well over $190 (remember Katniss was on sale). Di d anyone else hit the sale ? I wish they would do this more

The First Lady of 2013

Image
She has arrived and was well worth the wait. I'm so glad I had some extra money for the deal she was :O) My 1st lady of 2013..IFDC Exclusive Shake It Up Korinne!!  The coloring of this lady is exquisite. I love her. This one I must blame on one of my very good f riends Marti. His photos of this beauty made me crave her.  I love that she appears to have a BOD (Brides of D r acula) body. Excuse the cleavage but the lady is HOT!!    She already has an ego since she feels she's numero uno but Adele has something to say about that. I mean the very 1st Adele. She's #1 and has been for years. She might have to flex her muscles with this one..LOL   This lady will be seen a lot along with a few others. I plan to photogra ph my dolls more. They have been neglected long enough. I feel some joy coming back . Stay tune d  

Behind Curtain One We Have...

My first mystery lady ... World On A String Eugenia. She was the doll I purchased before Main Attitude Adele but arrived here after. It's odd how the mail works at times. I consider her my last lady of 2012.       I do love everything about this beauty. She ha s side glancing eyes but they work in this instance. I t was Robyne of Desperately Seeking Dolls fame who helped me see her clearly. I knew I saw her before, but it w as Robyne who made me see the helper version Point of Departure Eugenia (FR Convention 2011)resemblance.   I wanted this beauty before that . That bag is gorg eous and h er ensemble is a mix & match haven. I can say I'm 100% happy with her. What's your opinion? I'd like to know :O) Th is is Lucky one of my furry kids. He just had to get in on the act. He's such a ham but a very cu te ham ;O)

The End & New Beginnings

I hope everyone's ho lidays were great. I spent my 1st day of the new year doing absolutely nothing..LOL. I watched a couple of marathons on TV. They had some of my favorites playing so I had a choice of The Honeymooners, The Twilight Zone, & The Odd Couple. Love Ralph Kramden..bang, zoom, to t he moo n. I can talk TV all day long :O) .  The last day of the year bought me Main Attitude Adele. I love everything about her except her face..hmmm. I do have two other ladies with this new facemold but Main Attitude would be dead last for me. I'm hoping I can get her tweaked somewhere along the new year . She is the first of the new facemold to have the straight black hair. Maybe it's the side glancing eye s. She takes great pics but she's off for me IRL. I know she is getting a lot of love from others but you can't win them all. Check out her awesome accessories . Love the shoes , purse, jewelry, & the outfit.   I also have another new lady
