My Chirstmas Present!

 Hey Gang!

I want to apologize for not posting much in the past month but I had some family issues that I had to address. I was only able to post a few pictures on FB.  My blog needs more attention than that. I hope to do that now.

Every year I show you what my brother-in-law got me for Christmas.  This year is no different! This year he gave me this Barbie!

Repo Enchanted Evening Barbie!

There are two different dolls. One is a brunette and one is a blonde.
1996 Enchanted Evening Collector Edition Barbie Special Edition.

1960 Fashion and Doll Reproduction of Enchanted Evening Barbie 

“Stars sparkle overhead. And there’s magic in the air. It’s the most exciting evening Barbie can remember. The year is 1960 and, and Barbie wears One of the most popular vintage fashions, Enchanted Evening. In her white fury stole, exquisite ice pink satin gown and opera length gloves, She is the height of early 60s elegance. This collector edition, which reproduces the ensemble #983 Is a second chance to start a Barbie doll collection of your own For a special person in your life. Because you’re never too old for Barbie!” From the back of the box.

My doll wasn't in a great box but she is a nice doll!

I am not sure if I will play with this doll, display it, or keep her in the box!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

It's Santa!

Hey Gang,

After a few years of having Ben play Santa,.....

Ben: Please not again this year!

I knew I wanted a Black Santa! I found this guy at the Dollar Tree! I saw one like him last year at CVS and I waited for it to go on sale. It sold out! WaWa! Now I have a Black Santa.

He has a great face!

I am hoping to make some kind of holiday display using him! So stay tuned!

I saw this Oreo cookie commercial with a Black Santa!  It is one of the few times I have seen on outside of the local mall. 


OK, Thanks For Looking!

Barbie 1999 - Collector Edition - 40th Anniversary Barbie African-American

Hey Gang!

My Christmas gift for this year is...
Barbie 1999 - Collector Edition - 40th Anniversary Barbie African-American!
My brother-in-law gave me this doll this year.

She dons a black flock bodice shimmering with silvery glitter nostalgically
reminiscent of her original 1959 striped pattern bathing suit.

A small of the original doll is also in the box!




On the back 



It is really kinda nice getting a collector Barbie for Christmas.  Especially since the
quality of the older dolls are so much better than new dolls.

With this addition I need a place to display my doll that are MIB.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Thrift Store Purchases From September!

Hey Gang,

I am a little reluctant to post now.  It seems that blogger took down a few of the
posts of mine that were cloned but the majority of them are still up on the clone 
blog! The clone blog has about 2-3 years of my post up on their blog.  The only 
way that they take them down if for me to list every URL they listed along with 
every URL of mine for comparison!  You can't just list the whole blog as a 
copied.Since a pops up add appears every time  you click on one of their clone 
links taking you to who knows where and with the possibility of infecting my 
computer, I not sure what I can do.

I can't tell you how upset I got when I noticed post after post was copied.  They 
don't even list their posts.  So I'm not sure how far back it goes.  I had notice 
usually high spikes in the amount of viewers I had from time to time.  I am 
wondering if that was them.  One year a did about 100 posts, one every 
three days, as a challenge for myself.  Let me tell you, that was a lot for me!  
It seem to me that blogger doesn't  make posting all that incredibly easy to 
do, so it  must be a computer doing it. If you read this post on any other 
blog than I-Luv-Dolls@blogspot.com...
IT IS A FAKE!!! Run!!
I think I will add that from here on out!

OK, Here WE Go!

I did some real damage at the thrift store lately.  I will have to take October
off...maybe! In one of my last posts I told you I have been re-boding the guys
around her too.  I found some thrift store doll on articulated bodies and I got
some extra bodies for re-boding!

First up is Happy Family Dad-Alan!
I already have the AA Happy Family Dad so it was good to add him to
my collection.

 His face seems a little lighter than the body.  I wasn't sure at first that it was his
original body...
 but he is wearing the painted on ring.

Next I found HSM Troy!
This is the first (2007?) doll, the 12" doll, not the 10 inch one that they did later. I will
need to take out the battery on the doll because the singing annoys me! Have
you ever had one of those doll go off unexpectedly?
I like his hair much better than the other version of the doll.  The blonde is kinda
chunky! He also has a better face paint than the smaller dolls. I had started to
purchase the last one at the now closed Toys R US near me but someone
beat me to it!

Next is Phoebus from the Hunchback of Notre Dame.  I found three of these
at one time! Yes, I could have left the other two for someone else but
am someone else! So I took all three!

Phoebus: I don't think I want to be a blonde!
Ms. Leo:  You don't look like a Phoebus either!
 This guy got one of the other bodies. He is a
Hawaiian Ken.
 Ken: Thanks man!  Phoebus: No problem!
 The other went to this guy! He is a Pocahontas Kocoum 
He is now called Bison

Bison: I want to thank him too!  I was feeling as stiffer than Johnny Depp in 
the Lone Ranger!
Speaking of Native American dolls, I found these two also!  I dressed them in
swimsuits for the post.  I believe they are the 1995 Barbie American Indian 
American Stories and 1993 Native American Barbie 2nd edition!
 Native American Barbie 2nd edition.
I am seeing more of this one up for sale and I already have 
several of the  Teresa head sculpts.  So she will be up for sale
alone with re-bodied Phoebus!
 Barbie American Indian American Stories.

This one I am keeping and have re-bodied onto an Esmeralda articulated body. She
is now Daisy! She is wearing a Pocahontas dress.  She will need some shoes!
 Daisy: Hi! Lovely to meet you!
I was going to put flowers in her hair but that would be overkill!
 Finally we have
Jesse "The Body"Ventura 
This is the 1999 JESSE VENTURA Man of Action-Governor of Minnesota Doll
He was $5.00 and worth it if just for the clothing! Yeah, you remember him for
Wrestling and the Predator movie!



The box




 Now it is my picture taking and not that his eyes are quite that strange.
 He is kinda handsome in a rugged kinda way!
 Nice shirt and tie!
 Clothing
 Jessie: I can still wrestle with the best of them!
 A new baldy. 
 Wrestling a bear pose!
 Shoes and socks!
 Bare wrestling a bear!
 Markings!
 I also got this one...
 (This one be a good body donor for him too!)
 and this one!
 This will be a hard neck to find a body for!
 Lastly is her!
 She may go on the tree this year!
So this is just a small part of what I got! I was dolly high for a few weeks!

OK! Thanks For Looking!
