Documenting Old Playset!

Hey Gang!

I am documenting playsets for my record on my blog. As you may know, part
of the reason for my blog is to document my doll related purchases.  I often
buy thing and open it at the register, telling the clerk I am trying to decrease my
carbon footprint. I will be leave the packaging  there as part of their  carbon footprint.
They love that. 😉 Or I put it in the trash before I even leave
the store.

Back in 2011 I purchased three Dora the explorer set. I got a really good deal
with free shipping!  They were no longer in stores, so I jumped on it! I found
another one a little later but I have bee using the items off and on in photos.
I got the cafeteria set.... 

The  art room...

And the school Room.

One of the things I love about these sets is that the backdrop can be used for dioramas.

The backdrops have pieces to helped them stand and they don't fall over.

Kenyatta in the art set!

The backdrop "feet" ! There are normally  one at each corner that are "L" shape

There are one or two in the center of the of the backdrop.

Stacie Ricky and Brie

I know I have used these backdrops and so have many others. 

Reecie in the red chair from the classroom.

Terrence in the green chair  from the cafeteria and ...

 the art cabinet is in his office!

Another good thing is that furniture isn't pink and is well made.  Although the 

Dora doll isn't Barbie size,  the scale of the furniture is right for Barbie!

Another set that I got when I first started collecting and haven't shown is this 

World Peacekeepers Medical set with doctor!  I order this for J.C. Penny's when
they still had a catalog department.

I have show the action figure.  He is the father of one of my college girls!.

 He was at the airport! He is John.

I have used a few pieces from this set but will use them more in my hospital.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Jet Set Convention Darla Daley Simply Simpatico 2011

Hey Gang!

Well, I was looking for FR Adele when I came across this Darla Daley on the dollpage.  I must say that I am not too familiar with FR dolls.  I have more Hommes here than ladies.  I didn't really know what I would be getting even though there was a picture on the ad.  I just know she was a good price for the doll and I liked her face.

When she arrived I was pleased and a little surprised too.  Her face was beautiful!  FR seem to do a great job on the face screening.  She seemed a bit.... short.  I took out my measuring tape ( keep it on my key chain around my neck) and she was shorter than I expected.  She was about the size of a regular Barbie.

I blacked out her ...goodies for blogging and her new name is Babette!
She will be Etienne's sister.

BTW, there in a movement in my dolly land about dolls being shown nude!
No protests yet, but a moment.

She is about the size of Barbie.  So I found my Reecie for comparison

Reecie: Glad to help!

                                     Ms. Leo: Yeah, Reecie hasn't been out for a while! 

Both these ladies are petite enough for Liv doll swimsuits!  

Babette is not a fan of this swimsuit. 

Babette: It seem a bit young for my tastes.

 Reecie likes it!

Reecie: This is great for beach volleyball!

Ms. Leo: So here is a side by side of the ladies!

You will note that Reecie is a 1/2 inch taller.

Reecie: And I have rooted eyelashes!

Her torso is longer.

 I wanted to do a side view.
Babette: but someone's has too much hair an a big behind ponytail!
Reecie: Sounds like hating to me!
Ms. Leo: Ladies, ladies!

 This is a better photo!

They have different feet.  Babette has articulated ankles.
Only the Liv dolls around here have those!

 Babette doesn't have the high arched feet of most dolls but
there is an arch!

Babette hands are larger too.

Ms. Leo: Babette looks.....
Reecie: Older!
Ms. Leo: no, more sophisticated!

Babette: You got that right!

Thanks For Looking!

Double Date At The Beach!

Double Date At The Beach!
There are no words.  You get to tell me what you think is being said or going on.

Thanks For Looking!

Johnston Airport!

Johnston Airport is a very busy airport for the size of the
town. It services the military and the town. Military flights leave
out a one part and commercial flights leave out the other.

The waiting area is busy too!

Nubia has flown in to talk to KiKi and to see Dominique.
Nubia: Hi! I would like to change my departure time on
my return ticket.

Ingrid: I'll be happy to help you!

Ingrid: When would you like to return?

In the waiting area watching others is the main pass time.
Reecie to herself: Hmm. She look familiar.
Iggy has come here to do recon on the Johnston base.
I will email Eric and let him know what I have seen.

Flynn: I hope this doesn't take too long. I don't want to
miss my flight.

Iggy: You sound like you are from the Caribbean. Do you live here?

Reecie notes his accent.
Reecie: I'm from Trinidad. I will be going to school here.
Iggy: How are the schools here?
Reecie: They're really good!

Reecie: There are good jobs here too!

Ingrid: OK! I have changed everything and your fine now.
Have a great stay!
Nubia: Thank you! This is a very good airport!

Iggy to himself: Eric might have to change his mind.

Flynn: Oh good! It looks like they are finish and I'm next!

John: I hope my flight is on time. I think my interview went well!
