The End & New Beginnings

I hope everyone's holidays 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 the moon. 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 eyes. 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 technically bought in 2012 but she arrives sometime this week. I still consider her a 2012 goody. I do have a 1st lady for 2013 but she will remain a mystery until she arrives. Two mystery ladies remain to enter the vinyl community. 

I've made no resolutions this year except to really limit the amount of dolls coming in. Me saying I will stick to 10 dolls is crazy. That will never happen. I picked up 10+ dolls at The Fashion Royalty Convention alone. I don't set limits but I think Fashion Royalty will be my main focus. I believe I can limit myself to less than 10 Barbie's. There have been no Barbie's that I feel I missed out on in 2012. All the hyped up dolls were boring to me. I didn't like the finished product on a few dolls that sold out.

Stay tuned for my upcoming sales announcement. There are a lot of dolls being voted off the island. Consider this my New Year Clearance Sale. Time for some to be loved in their new homes :O)

    This is my first time seeing this particular version of Adele. She uh, kinda looks like she smelled something she didn't like. o.0

    Her styling though is quite awesome.

    Happy New Year Anika!

    I feel exactly how you feel about her. She photographs very well, but her appearance is just so so (in my opinion) in real life. I plan to keep her so I am hoping that she will grow on me. Looking forward to seeing your new dollies.

    OMG!! Main Attitude Adele is one of my next purchase for the 2013!! She so awesome!! Lucky you!! I limited the number of barbies too, here we have tons and tons of blonde caucasians barbies and a very few minority of Nikki, Teresa and Raquelle. Boring!!! I can't wait for your New Year Clearance Sale :)

      Hi Marta, thank you for the compliment. I'm trying to get really choosy with the dolls I get. It took me some time to get here :O)

    So does this mean Main Attitude Adele is one of the dolls being 'voted off the island'. Can't wait to see who ends up on the sale page. It will also be interesting to see what dolls are added to your collection this year although none of us will be keeping count to see if you keep your resolution.

      She's not voted off...yet. I say that only because I will let her hang around for a moment. I think I will try to get that tweak and see how I feel from there.

      Hey I said no resolutions this year LOL

    Oh oh ... well, sometimes dolls don't *click* for us. Or sometimes we have to tweak them. I have a Hasbro Kristin, Maxie's friend, who I either need to tweak or to sell. Sigh.

    Still ... sharp fashions. You know how to pick the winners ;-D

      Thanks Dana. I have a few ladies from the Big M that missed the mark for me. I kept them for some strange reason but now I'm letting them go to someone else.

    My favorite Adele with this sculpt is SC Adele. I personally believe that both MA & ME photograph better than they look in real life. I am really thinking about changing the lip color on both. Either way I love both so they are permanent residents on my island.

    She does look like she has an "attitude" but she is gorgeous.

Flea Market Fun

Image
I was talked into going to Englishtown (flea market) and boy am I glad I went. I wasn't enthusiastic at first since we were leaving  after noon which means all the good stuff is usually gone. I didn't take a ton of money but for about $20 I found some goodies I'm proud of.  My 1st find of the day I picked up the Sophie & two NFL Jerseys for $3. I love LIV bodies for body swaps. Those jerseys will come in handy for either the ladies or a couple of guys. Next find I up 3 dolls and 2 books (not pictured) for $6. Not sure which Christie's or Teresa this is. Teresa must be a ballerina (note the purple colored plastic legs). The Christie's are pretty. They came dressed as you see them. Teresa is having a slight wardrobe malfunction. The last find of the day I was uber happy because I spotted the Princess of Ancient Mexico for $4. She doesn't have her headdress,  necklace, or armlets but hey for $4 I'm still happy. I've wanted her for quite...

Mass Blogger Interview Answers For Ms Leo

I decided to answer Ms. Leo interview questions from   I Luv Dolls . Give it a try I'm interested in your answers too When did you start collecting dolls? Oddly enough I didn't start collecting dolls until my late 20's. My brothers had action figures (Star Wars, GI Joe). What was your first purchase as a collector ? My 1st purchase was Kelly Barbie's littlest sister in her crib. I guess we can say I loved the littlest one (at the time) first. How many dolls do you own? Really not sure at this point but figure I have over 300 Kelly & friends. My Fashion Royalty collection is about 130 - 150 at this point (I haven't inventoried lately). I'm pretty sure Barbie & friends is about 350 or more (remember haven't inventoried in a while). This is just a guesstimate so I will say about 800 including all lines but I may be exaggerating since I've also been selling stuff for a few years now..LOL What is your favorite doll and why? I'm not g...
