Head Swaps For 2015!

Hey Gang!

So here are some of the last of my rebodied dolls for 2015.  I am trying to rebody
all the dolls I use regularly. It makes it easier for blogging, photos and dios. I got a
bunch of bodies from the thrift store in September and had to hind them when I got
home.  I took me quite a while to remember I had them and to remember where I
hid them.

Last year I rebodied my Mattel Prince Naveen doll, known in my dollie world as
Rahim Reeves, onto a body that had three click knees.  That was good but it wasn’t the best.

He is now rebodied on to a Happy Family father doll.  He can now bend at the
knee and bend at the elbow and twist at the waist. His job will be as a
Pharmaceutical Sales Representative. He is wearing the Donald Trump suit.

I also have a Hannah Montana Lola doll.  Lola, known in my dollie world as
Phoebe, is on a Hannah Montana Stylin ‘ Fashion doll body.

The new body has arms that bend at the elbow and three click knees. She is
one of my college girls.  She loves color and she is a bit of a free spirit too!

My Princess Kida doll, known in my dollie world as Vikki, has been or her

original body since I got her.  I have been able to cover up the medallion
with a top but that is not what I really wanted.  I love her long white/gray
hair.  Long gray hair is unusual.  Many people with gray hair cut it but she
will keep her's long!

I have painted her eyes and now rebodied her onto a Fashionista Artsy body.

Full body shot!

I will feature her later as one of my Gray Foxes but not now!

I have had a Taylor Swift doll for a long time but haven’t decided if I wanted 

to sell her or not.  I don’t really think she looks like the artist. I liked her face
but didn’t like the body.  She had one of the Hannah Montana style bodies with
non bendable arms that sung. Nothing is worst than hearing one of those singing
dolls go off at 3:00 am!  Anyway, She will now be known in my dollie world
as Marilyn.

The eyelashes make her look Marilyn Monroe-ish.  She is on a Disney store
Rapunzel body.  She will be one of my college girls.

Another doll that I have had for reboding for a while is New York Minute
Ashley doll. She this doll has a different face that the older Mary Kate and
Ashley dolls.  I will have to post on that so you can see.

She is also on a Rapunzel body. Her name  is Alli and will be a high
school girl.

My extra Disney store Tiana bodies when to my Francie.

She has been on a Liv doll body. It wasn't a good match but was articulated

This new body is much better!

and Teen Skipper Nikki dolls.

Disney Store Classic Tiana 2014

I have tried to remove the necklace. It smeared.  I will try it again. 

It should come off.

The complexion is a good match.

 Lastly, My extra Fashionista Artsty body went to older model Pocahontas doll.

She received her new body and a hair cut.  Her name is Anita

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Meetings- Kelly's take charge!

Hey Gang,

So we last left off with Phyliss Kelly jumping in! She is now meeting with Etienne
to get a handle on the base.  The base is still under construction so they are meeting
in one of the odd rooms.

Etienne:  I just want to say how happy I am to have you here!  This is my first time
having an admin.  I don't really know what all you will or can do.

Phyliss: Really!  What did you do before?

Etienne: You might know our unit was in action in the Middle East for a while,
we then went from Texas to Europe for six months.  I didn't need a real admin before.
I have just risen to my new rank as General.  Prior to that... well...between Trina and
I we handled everything. Well...mostly Trina. She did her work and some of mine!
Hmm, I should do something as a thank you.

Phyliss: I will take care of that for you sir!  She was nice enough to give me a list 

of what you were working on and what still needs to be done.  Oh, there is some 

info on what has been done for the unit in the past. As you know I worked with 

General Lee and his admin Flora.  I even covered for her when she was on vacation. 

I think I have a handle on what is needed but I can always contact Flora

if I get stuck.

Oh, and I'll need your wife's info too!  

 Is she excited about her role as the base commander's wife?

Etienne: I have thought about that!  I haven't mentioned it to her!  I know that
the commander's wives did parties and stuff.

Phyliss: Sir, they do more that just that!

Etienne: Really?
Phyliss: Oh yes sir!  Maybe I can have a talk with her and feel her out about
how active she will be.

Etienne: OK, I know she wants to come by tomorrow to meet you. She asked
if you might be free for lunch?
Phyliss: Tell her that would be wonderful!

So it looks like there will be an Air Force reserve unit, a medical unit, a air traffic 

control unit, a flight and porter units.  What units will there be on the Army side? 

Etienne: What Army side?

Phyliss: Sir, didn't they send you the specs on this base sir?  She pulls out
the manual she was sent.
Etienne: No! I still waiting for somethings to catch up with me from Europe.

Phyliss: We are the main armed forces branch but there will be a presence 

from all the branches here. The will be a large, thou not as large as us, Army 

presents here too.  They aren't schedule to come for a while.  It will be important 

for us to...establish the best..uh...most strategic presents here sir.  I get on the 

phone and make sure all intell is here for your review sir!

Etienne: I might have needed an admin sooner!

So I know I need to fix Phyliss's hair.  I will get to that this year too!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Looking Forward To The New Shaped Babies!

Hey Gang!
Mattel is doing something new!  They are releasing dolls with different body types!
I know right!  How much of this has come from what they have seen us bloggers do
with our dolls?  A lot I think! We have all seen people rebody different heads on
the Rosie O'Donnell body!

This is my Marie that I re-bodied

They are adding a tall, petite and a curvy(which means full figure) dolls to
the line in different complexion (WOO HOO!) With seven skintones!


I don't think they are doing brand new bodies but using body styles from
dolls that they have done in the pass but how know they just might!

Here are the ones at the top of my list! That's right, I'm looking for the big girls!
It is about time for an AA full figured Barbie!

The curvy "emoji fun" Barbie doll AA

I might get this one even with the bent arm.

The curvy "so sporty" Barbie doll

Now this girl looks like a few women I've worked with!

I got to have her!

The curvy "spring into style" Barbie doll

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Count DooKu

Hey Gang!

I have two more Star Wars action figure to do to complete my post of
my Star War action figures collection!  It might be four but I am planning on
selling a few action figures.  If I do that it is only two.

Anyway...you might has seen my post of Dr. Ian Evans,

 he also does doubleduty as CNN reporter Gulf Blitzer  

( a take on Wolf Blitzer).

 Interviewing the Obamas

I purchase him because it hard to find dolls with gray hair.  I like to have dolls with
gray hair in my dollie world even if I cover up my own gray hair in real life! I feel on
my blog and and in movie, there should be a prominent place for  older dolls...
my Silver Foxes! Life doesn't stop being interesting at a certain age.  Life is as
interesting as you make it.

Yes, he is a Silver Fox!

The action figure appeared in Star Wars, The Attack Of The Clones.
Unlike many of my action figures and dolls that I have that go along with movies, I have
seen all of the Star War moves.

I purchase this doll in Toy R US that was near me before they closed.  What stood out
was the expression on his face...serious, aloof, pensive!

He comes with a cape and red light saber. 

Not my pictures!

 Under the cape he wears a black top and pants, brown belt and black boots.

He is a great character and it is nice not to have to find a body for him.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Facebook!

Hey Gang!

 

I have been having big fun on Facebook!  I've sold some things and I've bought some
things and I've met some new people. It almost like having a doll club meeting... not
quite but the next best thing!

Muff, I think you might like
Magical Misfits-Info and Advice on Remaking, Repairing,  Re-loving Our Dolls. 
They are your kind of people.  I think you could repost
some of your blog photos and info there.  It a place where people ask and answer
questions about dolls,  repair and alter dolls and they do dioramas too!

D7ana, I know that your are interested in sell some of your dolls.  I think you might
like

Buy, Sell, Trade Barbie and Fashion Royalty and  Barbie Dolls and Accessories for Sale or Trade.

People in these pages sell dolls and accessories.  You never know what your might find!
People contact your if they are interested and you private message about details of
shipping and payment arrangements.  It is different than selling on eBay or the
old Dollpage Show and Sell. There is no cost to list or sell.  You must join the page.
People may contact you about trying to bargain with you.  You can say
yes or no.  I sold an outfit for cheaper than my asking price because the person
didn't need the shoes or purse. I will relist those items with other items I plan
on selling. You get likes to your post and sometimes more information about
an items.

Some of the Facebook pages even have event pages where they do things simular
to the Diva Doll page board.  They post doll pictures and share info on making
doll related items.

The sites I have mentioned have more traffic but there are others like  
Ken Doll Collectors, Monster High Guru Buy Sell Trade &Talk and
Action Figures Lovers' Page: GI Joe, Hot Toys, BBI

There are many more places on Facebook to see and sell doll related items.
So check out these pages and let us know if you see others.

FYI- I still sell on Mister Dollface but items don't seem to sell as fast.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Happy New Year!

Hey Gang!

This is my Nola wishing you Happy Holidays!  I posted this photo on Facebook.

You might have seen it there!  She is wearing a bottle cover I got in the after

Christmas sales!

So anyway....Happy New Year!  aHHHSorry I haven’t posted sooner. I have been taking 

a class on discover and living your gifts. It was wonderful!  Maybe I will talk to 

you about it later.

One thing I love about the New Year is New Year post.  Many people post about 

what they plan to do for the New Year.  I love see what they have planned.  

I want to Vanessa for noticing that I did try to keep up and do my posts on the 

year of the children. I didn’t get a chance to post all my dolly children but I did

get to a number I was please with.

My plans for this year are to:

1. Sell the things that I am no longer using or interested in.
2. To find more venues to sell dolls and doll related things. I really don’t like selling on eBay anymore.
3. To only purchase doll stuff with the money from what has been sold.
4. Do more customizing of dolls
5. Complete projects- I will need to number them so that I know how many I have to complete.
6. Take more photos.  Even if I don’t post them.
7. Post and complete more informational post.
8. Introduce more dolls and give them stories.  (They aren’t doing me any good sitting in a box.)
9. Do more diorama posts.
10. As always “get more organized”.

This year will be the year of my Silver Foxes!

OK, I’ll share one of the things I learned in the class I took.  You not only want 

to surround yourself with people who support you but with people who hold 

you accountable to the things you say you want to do. 

OK, Thanks For Looking!
