My Body, Your Body, Everybody Needs A Body

Yes I thought about the title. That disco song played in my head as I thought about it. "My body, your body, everybody work your body" is how the song goes. I figure since I have so many heads that need bodies it fits. Since you've seen the heads let me show you where the bodies hang out. I have boxed dolls that are body donors and loose dolls and bodies. The boxed donors occupy a shelf in the corner of my dining room. The loose dolls and bodies are in a plastic bin waiting to be used. The main thing I do when trying to match a head and body I check in the strongest light I have. I use the light in my bathroom and sunlight. I know some people aren't choosy with matches but I am, LOL. I have had a doll or 2 that was a close match but it drove me crazy. It doesn't bother me if it's someone else's doll. Here are a couple of the ladies who received new bodies. Some were rescued from the rack and others old bodies. I will find more ladies fo...

Integrity Toys Frenzy Over..Phew

Image
For those who don't know Integrity Toys revealed some of the new lines on Saturday. I'm happy that I wasn't wowed by everything. I kept my head and my pre-orders came down to 3. That's right 3 dolls. I wanted three from the Poppy line  and I may still go for the third later.  I wasn't so thrilled with the Fashion Royalty line but I was blown away by Timeless Adele. I'm not a fan of Adele 3.0 but this beauty I need. I have been confirmed for the Poppy's I wanted. I'm happy and I hope everyone gets what they want. I wanted Darla the most from the Poppy line even though people don't see it. I love her entire look.   Peace Love and Soul Midas Touch is the biggest and may be one of the fastest sell outs in the Poppy line. She was my second choice. Midas Touch   Out of This World is the third doll I may try to get later. She seems to be sold out on some sites. Out of This World   So my doll frenzy is over for this round. There are mor...

Off With Their Heads...

Image
This post is to highlight those ladies in my collection who are searching for bodies. I am always on the lookout for articulated bodies. I need movement these days for anyone to stay. If I really love a doll I will behead her/him and the quest will begin. It's always great when a new lady (and at times gents) find a new body. This is the limbo they sit in until their grail is found I'm not sure which site I got the idea to use a thread spool rack for heads but it's awesome. I picked this one up on sale from Wally World's site to store sale. I think it holds 120. I also have a smaller one that holds 33. That one is for heads I decide can leave the island. Here are some closeups of who's on the rack for the moment. Yes that is Declan's head on the top. I do have his body but have been lazy in putting him right LOL I'll try to remember a post about the luck winners of the body lottery. There have been some winners lately :O)

Happy Mother's Day

This is to all those out there that fill the role. It doesn't matter the race or gender. Mom is Mom Celebrate because every day is Mother's day. Enjoy :O)

Are You Still Here?

Image
I keep asking myself that question these days. I've been busy working on clearing out the unloved goodies I have. The time just flies and I had plans on blog entries that just haven't happened. So why now? Why not? I'm hosting a travel doll named Reagan. She's been around for about a month. She went to an Outlander party so far. I have some plans for this weekend before I send her on her way to her next host. I'm also obsessed with these wild turkeys that are living in my city. They're protected but they are amazing too. I've seen turkeys before but not in person. There are some big Tom's. There is a family unit it seems. I am still here but I'm going to see who is being let go this weekend. It's a big job that I aim to finish. Let the sorting continue. I leave you with my latest selfie. I wasn't driving when it was snapped. I'm not that reckless :O)

Big Girls Rule!!

Image
Or they do around here some of the time :O) I have found myself loving certain of the bigger ladies. I have not gone all the way to the dark side. Today I will focus on my 18" dolls. There are various lines to be found. Some of my big girls   I resisted these ladies for a long time until I spotted Taryn. Taryn is the dark skinned curly hair cutie sitting in the middle. She is from the Journey Girl line of dolls sold at Toys R Us. I was able to get her during a sale and I also had a coupon.  I believe the BFC Ink dolls came shortly before or after. from the BFC Ink I have the twins Aleisha and Noelle, Calista (AA), Yuko (Asian). The other xcurly haired cutie I call Sunny. I believe she is from the Girls On The Go line also from Toys R Us. I will try to post single pics of them in my next post.
