Oh, you mean you gave that doll to someone else!!! What a generous person you are. She is so wonderful, I would never be able to part with her. Her blue hair made her surprising for a goth doll, most of them have the derigueur black hair. It would have been interesting to have seen before pictures of your repaints. I should remember to do that, myself. I've done a lot of painting recently for my new project. I've attached a link if you'd like to see. It's a tribute to my girlfriend, but a … [View More]

Hi Randall and all, Nope, I didn't reroot the hair. I bought these really cool heads at the last convention. They were Mackie faced dolls with wild color hair. I cut the hair and curled, but she came with those glorius locks. Also picked up a blue one, and a purple one with an elaborate braided hair do. If you like the orange hair though, check out the mermaid dolls out right now. The Kayla in the line has great orange hair. Just put the head on another bod. I may do that once they go … [View More]

Weekenders Dressed

HI All, Snaped this quick pic the other day and forgot to send it. Here is a pic of both of the Weekender set dolls, and my two new basics, all in clothes from the weekender set. http://www.frii.com/~mroczko/temp/weekend.jpg I loved the plaid stuff on the red head. The white set is made of one piece from each set! The purple shoes are Barbie pak stuff. I just love all the silk in these sets. Kathy M. Frivolities Antiques Ft. Collins, CO

New dolls

Hi again, I'm sure many of your picked up several of the Candi Basics dolls. I just wanted to comment, I think they look great and I love the concept. I'm very much looking forward to the Adele & Veronique dolls. I preordered the basic redhead. The extra fashions look great too! I'm trying not to spend any money though ... and I have no room (I'm sure that's something we're all familiar with). Oh, if you're interested check www.mastercollector.com for toy fair pics. Off to work ... Randall

Hi All, Someone posted this pic on Vickys wondering who the pretty lady in the top right corner is. Anyone know? Love that rich plumy color on her. http://www.xynadra.com/bbs/barbie/messages/60180.html I just can't wait to see these dolls in person. They ran two full page ads for them in the latest Barbie Bazaar this month. They are just stunning. Kathy M. Frivolities Antiques Ft. Collins, CO

HI & Catching Up ...

It seems as though I have (unknowingly) became a lurker. LOL So I just wanted to drop a little note to catch up. How are you all doing? Things are going well here. Despite the fact that the clothing industry here in S. Florida is incredibly slow ... I am making progress with my clothing line, Choic. I am currently looking for more stores that are interested in picking up the line (i.e. stores that will buy things that are not mass produced). I am going to be doing a shoot the first part of … [View More]

I will keep him in my prayers, ask my daughter to post on the animal board for prayers also. Debbie, recently had the same thing happen with one of her cats. A 3 year old blue russian, that someone had left in a dumpster as a kitten. Debbie rescued the little gal, and her cats go for regular check ups and shots each year, last visit she was told everything was fine. In the interim she had changed vets, the cat started hiding all the time, would not let anyone get near her, and started … [View More]

Hi Karla, What you need is my budget and my hubby. Either that or I need yours! LOL I ordered two of the basics, and one of the Fashion Royalty. I splurged when I got both weekender sets, but I am not sure if hubby has seen the bill yet. LOL I have also asked Suzanne to preorder me one of the black poofy dresses ( forget the name) and that is it for now. I can only afford ONE of anything, and never all of a line. I have a rule with my budget, that I either LOVE it or don't buy it. … [View More]When I have ordered anything else, I usually regret it. I went against the grain and ordered some Charices when there was nothing else, and I just don't like them, and there they lay in a box gathering dust. At least they were baggies and cheap. As far as space goes, I always debox ( well almost, I left the Startrek set in the box because I like the display, and the Polish doll of the world as that is hubbys background) The dolls hanging around in boxes just haven't been taken out yet, and there are only a couple of those. They take up a lot less space. I don't have all my dolls out at any one time. My vintage mod girls that were my childhood dolls all are still in cases as they are beautiful and unfaded and I want to keep them that way. I do take them out and play with them. I have a bunch of play girls that come and go with the seasons and what they want to wear. My worst problem is my OOAK girls. I have a whole line up on a shelf of those, and I may need to put up another shelf for those. I can't bear to leave any of those in boxes as most all of them were swaps, and I treasure all the time that went into each one. I must admit there is a big plastic tub and I mean big, full of "nekid" ladies all waiting for makeovers. Probably over a 100 dolls there. I can't seam to resist those thrift store things. I did get 3 more on clearance this weekend at KB they had a couple of corduroy cools and a bath time one for $3.00 each. Mackie faces with the old body. Can't resist. The only other thing is that the girls are not allowed in the rest of the house. There is an exception at Christmas cause hubby kinda likes those displays ( well, maybe not the pink Barbie tree!). Since they all have to stay in my doll room, I am limited there too. Hubby would throw me out if he had to wade through the dolls to get to the TV. ( especially the TV, LOL) So you see, just let my hubby at you, and you would be all fixed. That was no help at all was it? Kathy M. Frivolities Antiques Ft. Collins, CO [View Less]

> might help to ID a doll we > have & haven't a clue as to who she is Hi Pat, Glad you liked the site. A friend put it together for me and I wish it had some kind of index or something. It doesn't even have a "back" or "home" button! LOL. But she did it for nothing -- wanted the practice so I can't complain. I do want to put together a site (or refine this one) that is more user friendly for exactly the purpose you mentioned -- to ID dolls. I also need to find said … [View More]
