Happy Halloween!

 Hey Gang! 

Happy Halloween! Since this is the day for magic, I thought I would share with you my....

Bellatrix Lestrange!

She, like Cinderella Fairy Godmother are modeled after  Helena Bonham Carter who is a famous British actress.

Bellatrix is one of the bad wizards in the films and is rumored to have had a baby with Voldemort!

Yeah, don't think about it or your skin might crawl.

I love her two tone hair color and that she has a bent wand.

The other detail of her outfit are pretty nice too!

I have a black witches hat that would work well with her outfit but like with most things around her,

I will have to find it.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Rock The Bells Anthony!

 Hey Gang!

Guess what I found online at Walmart! Yup! I was able to order two before they started making you "check out your local store for availability".

Closeup!

Anthony: Hey, it's me!

Malik: WOW, It is you but different!

Anthony: I know, right! But I'm too smooth for these sweatpants and shirt!

Malik: Yeah, that outfit is for a youth. Did you know he doesn't have the purple bottom sneakers?

Anthony: Really?

So lets compare them.  The new doll is lighter than the old doll. The new doll has more of a matte look to him too.

The beard is higher on the new doll.

Like my Malik, I tried putting the old doll's head on the new body and like it!

Now let's put him in the old outfit.  Yeah, I like that better!

Anthony: I heard the Queens were her!

Malik: Yeah, that is another story!

OK. Thanks For Looking!

All Hail The Queens!

 Hey Gang!

Guess what I came across when I was in Target! I thought they were to be released for another month!

Fresh Fierce Collection Black Panther Wakanda forever! 

Okoye!

The back!

Nikia!

The back!

Malik: The Queens are here!

All Hail the Queens!

Malik: Ms. Leo, when will you let the Queens out of their boxes!

Ms. Leo: They are for my collection and not for  play! They will be going on my doll shelf!

Malik: I can't believe you are going to keep the Queens imprisoned like this Ms. Leo!

Ms. Leo: Malik, I might purchase some to have for play but not right now and I still need to get Suri!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Dia De Los Muertos Wood Ofrenda Alter Box With Mini Accessories

 Hey Gang!

Dia De Los Muertos Wood Ofrenda Alter Box With Mini Accessories- I saw this on Facebook and though it was great and had a nice Spanish feel.

Target Promo Photo!

When searching for it. none of the Target stores in my area had it and the people selling them online wanted $90 to $200 for it when the item sold for just $20.00. I thought I might have to wait until next for one. There just happen to be one in stock when I was in my local store. I ran out screaming!

This show how it can be display with the price on it!

It isn't as tall as I would like but it just might need some legs!

Ms. Leo: Malik, surprised to see you here!

Malik: I am making the rounds with my new body!

So with the cover off, you can see how colorful it is!

Well painted and colorful on the inside too!

The cover makes it seem like there is a photo that comes with the set for the photo frame but there isn't.. You have the opportunity to put your own photo in.

Here are the accessories! 

I can use them with my dolls in a lot of ways.

With the accessories inside and it is really nice!

Isabela just loves it and hopes I will make her an Encanto inspired house that will include it!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

I'm Surprised To Find Out That...

 Hey Gang!

I'm surprised to find out that not only is it Columbus Day but it is Indigenous Peoples' Day! 

President Biden issued a proclamation on Friday to observe this Oct. 10 as a day to honor Native Americans, their resilience and their contributions to American society throughout history, even as they faced assimilation, discrimination and genocide spanning generations. 

This is the second time that President Biden has issued this proclamation. Biden first issued a proclamation recognizing the day in 2021. The move shifts focus from Columbus Day, the federal holiday celebrating Christopher Columbus, which shares the same date as Indigenous Peoples' Day this year.

Native Americans have long criticized the inaccuracies and harmful narratives of Columbus' legacy that credited him with his "discovery" of the Americas when Indigenous people were there first.

There are no set rules on how one should appreciate the day. It's all about reflection, recognition, celebration and an education. 

This is a serious topic that I might tackle at another time. I am using today to show you guys my new Looks Ken #6 doll that to me seems to be Native American.

Laurel is waiting for her bother to arrive!

Laurel: Ah, you are here!  I was hoping you would arrive in time for the Gathering! What took you so long? Bookings are filling up.

She is his older sister and is always looking out for him! (The Looks Ken #6) Don't they look so much alike!

River: It was that shipping! You can't count on that estimated date!

Laurel: What are those pants your wearing?

River: I was told that they are the latest thing!

Laurel: Yeah, if you are a stripper!

River: Sigh!

Laurel: Come with me.  I'll find you something to wear! Maybe we can get your money back for those pants!

OK, Thanks For Looking!
