Dollz4moi's Vinyl Musings

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...

It's that time of year again. The countdown is on for my 2nd Fashion Royalty Convention. This years theme is Tropicalia and I haven't really made an preparations except for airline & hotel. I have to shop for at least a dress or something..LOL. I will try to post a couple of times before then but if I don't you know why.  This year I made a list of stuff I'm looking for. I'm focused and I will share my list after convention. It's like playing Poker, you never show your hand. I'm also working on my travel doll(s). Not sure if I want 1 or 2 dolls this time around. I know who my 1st doll is but not sure of the other.  I hope to see a few friends and make some more friends while there. I don't remember what my table number is but I will post it. If you're going drop by and say hello :O)

  As  promised (even though I'm late) here are some of the goodies I've gotten in the last few months.   I found these dolls for $8, yes $8, at the flea market. The Dennis Miller doll was $2 o_O .  Is it just me or does this guy remind you of Tom Selleck. The man says no but I see him :O). I tackled the mermaids hair and gave her a new body. I really love her even more.  Flea Market finds Mermaid after full shot  I am having a new burst of Bratz love. I adore Sasha the most and I've picked up two that are the most beautiful to me. Crystalicious & Strut It Sasha. I also bought Strut It Fianna her eyes are beautiful.  Strut It Fianna, Crystalicious Sasha, Strut It Sasha I have to give MGA a big round of applause on the newest clothing they've put out. I would love to see at least the Boho Chic dress in the middle in Barbie or Fashion Royalty size. I found all the Bratz dolls & fashions at TRU.  Ladies model...
