Thanks for the tip on removing the shoes. I will probably just cut them off to avoid any issues. I have been showing the lingerie and card to everyone I have come across. Now that I have finished this latest video with Rod and Melanie, I can go full force into wedding planning mode. I am going to surprise you and make some more lingerie for the bridal shower.<br /><br />Dollz4Moi - Thanks for that info. I love that Janet too. I do not have her. I also wouldn't mind having bowling Janet.<br /><br />mrscarissa - Go online to see if there are doll shows in your area. They used to be advertised in all the doll magazines, but since so many of the mags are disappearing, online is probably a better choice.

It was really good to see you at the...Hi Vanessa, <br /><br />It was really good to see you at the doll show. Looks like you made out as well as I did although as usual, I concentrated on scoring articulated bodies from the bargain bin. I thought hard about that Uptown Chic Barbie but opted for a Just Girls Asian princess instead. One of my doll regrets was not buying these dolls when they were on clearance when K-Mart was going out of business in 2008. Integrity Toys manufactured three versions of this doll for Sears but they disappeared before the price dropped down to what I was willing to pay. I was very happy to get an off-brand Asian doll in a beautiful costume for $10. You know how I am about avoiding Mattel face molds.<br /><br />Consequently I greatly appreciate the three dolls you gave me. One is an original Janay. I love her face and can’t wait to make a nice wig for her. The Kari Michelle had flat feet, which I had never seen before but the Kari Michelle face and body are always welcome in my collection. I am also always glad to get Chic Boutique faces so I appreciate the third lady as well. Now I just have to find a good body for her.<br /><br />I think my best find of the show was Raven from the Cheetah girls. Got her nude for $1. I had been developing plus size lingerie designs for a character who is on a Rosie O’Donnell body but Raven is more voluptuous so she will be my plus size lingerie model. She’s been enjoying the chair and ottoman you gave me and will be reclining on it in a Saint Regis Lace ensemble in a future tutorial.<br /><br />Sounds like the plane was a terrific find for you. When you re-dress gymnast Janet as a boy, be careful removing her shoes. The ankle joint broke on mine shortly after I took her out of the box while I was trying to remove her sneakers. In fact, her little foot is still stuck down in there. I just made a splint and left her in the bodysuit so you can’t see that she is injured. <br /><br />Thanks again!limbe dollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704328250988686700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686868691603248122.post-12630460380083085262011-11-06T07:13:20.537-05:002011-11-06T07:13:20.537-05:00Rosetti - I can't imagine life without doll sh...Rosetti - I can't imagine life without doll shows. We have about 4every year. It is so much fun to see the dolls in person that you only get to see on line in a picture.<br /><br />Frannie - Hard to believe that you guys don't have local shows there. It's such a big area. Those new planes are really big. You would think they would have a lot more seats considering.<br /><br />Niel - What fun if there was a whole gang of us there. It would have been nice to see people you know buy things that you like but couldn't afford to buy. That way you might have a chance of seeing it in the blogosphere at least. That is why Robyne made me buy the airplane. She wanted to buy it, but couldn't figure out how to sneak it in the house. LOL. Limbe dolls found articulated dolls for 50 cents. She is great at peeping those deals out at the shows.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027064808344974667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686868691603248122.post-71335028273219911352011-11-06T06:49:45.118-05:002011-11-06T06:49:45.118-05:00OMG!

And such good prices! Great find on that Vintage Airplane. Been seeing the newer version at the Flea Market and Thrift Store, but had to pass it up since I have no more room for larger items.

You know how picky she is. I just think she likes being single. I did feel like I had at least won a really good scratch off ticket. That plane is going to come in handy. I like the face to face set up too. Just picture Darius and Nikki flying off to Denver to go skiing (that's coming up real soon). They are taking another couple with them, but I will leave that as a surprise. Darius and BB2.5's husband will be flying off on business trips. Danielle and Rod will probably take the kids to Disney World. I love that I have room for the kids now. Okay you can stop me anytime. This airplane is going to get as much use as my little restaurant. Another great way to use some of those extra dolls I have. There will be lots of different flight attendants, etc. Now I have to run to Walmart to get that pilot fashion. You still haven't stop me yet. I will stop myself. I'm so exhausted. I'm too tired to go to sleep.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027064808344974667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686868691603248122.post-74504865321863868572011-11-06T01:00:26.840-05:002011-11-06T01:00:26.840-05:00DBG - I will ask my friend if she has Gymnast Jane...DBG - I will ask my friend if she has Gymnast Janet at home. The lady that I bought this one from didn't have another one there, but she said that what she had there was only a part of her collection and that she had lots more that she would be bringing at the next show. If I find one, I will let you know. <br /><br />I'm not sure why my hair is looking so uncombed. Oh, I remember. My sister-in-law that came with me, kept pulling on my hair. I guess a mirror would have come in handy. Oh well. Paulette was looking cute and adorable as usual. She looks all of 18 years old in person. Dazzle doll hasn't updated her blog in a while. She said she would be getting back to it. <br /><br />You are right it is not possible to just sit and watch at a doll show. That is why I didn't even go to the one in May. <br /><br />When I got home, the Asian Only Hearts doll pair and little Sydney were waiting for me. And let's not forget High Brow Adele is arriving shortly. OH MY WORD. NO MORE DOLLS. I am finished for sure....until I find something else on flickr that I can't resist. LOL. I won't have any problem finding a wedding planner now.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027064808344974667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686868691603248122.post-35401371223527044422011-11-06T01:46:28.871-04:002011-11-06T01:46:28.871-04:00Dollz4Moi - You really know how to make a girl fee...Dollz4Moi - You really know how to make a girl feel better about spending money.

I'm kicking myself because I had that airplane as a little girl...who knew it would have come in handy as an adult, LOL. The other great thing about the fact that you bought the vintage one is...it's not PINK! ;)<br /><br />That's actually the the James Bond 007 Ken doll you have as a set. He's the one I commented on one of your past posts, that I think would make a nice couple with Halle. The Ken doll in the Dollies series is Tango Ken. <br /><br />I am totally excited now, to see how you bring these new characters into your stories. I feel like I won the lotto and I wasn't even there. :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing Vanessa and it's so good to put faces with the other bloggers.
