The Morristown New Year's Party (Video)

I decided not to show too many pictures from this video.  I want you guys to be surprised at the guest list.  Won't be much of a surpise if you read a couple of my previous posts.  This entire video was shot in a dark room with nothing but the clear Christmas lights surrounding the diorama.  So the pictures tend to look a little grainy.  The diorama itself  is less than stellar, but the video is more about introducing the people on YouTube to people in the Elite group.  In 2012 I plan to do more videos with both groups interacting together.  I don't know what happened to all that time I took doing hair.  As you will notice, most hairdos experienced dolly humidity or something.  LOL!  This was another case of the video not going quite as planned.  There was supposed to be toasting of the New Year at the end.  Didn't happen.  There was so much happening in that ballrooom, I had a hard time keeping up.  There were a number of dolls that were dressed to come and they never made it.  There is a couple near the end that complained about being late.  I had to laugh because, they too were on the verge of not making it at all.  This could have easily been two videos, but I have too many other things to do and didn't want to drag this out.  The next few weeks will be spent finishing commissions and restocking the Etsy store.

This is one of the three dolls my mom gave me at Christmas.  She found the three dolls in their original condition, at the local thrift store.  SCORE!  My mom hasn't seen the video yet, but I think she will be very happy to see this lady make an appearance.  I will report back as to which doll this is.  I have been too busy getting the video done to stop and look her up.

They are Ready to Party!

I am a day behind shooting the New Year's video.  Today I set up the diorama and finished getting the dolls ready.  After all the hair washing, styling, repainting and dressing, the past few days, I am pooped.  That will explain why everyone doesn't have the proper jewelry or whatever else that isn't just right.  I had planned to have a lot more people at this party, but I had to pare it down a little or postpone the shooting again. 

Bill and Camille are hosting the party.  Camille has let her hair down.  I have news for her.  That blue eye shadow may be going away soon.  Aren't they just the sweetest couple?


All three of the Langford daughers will be there.  The twins, Grace and Dominique, are both wearing fashions from a new Barbie fashion pack.  Sure am glad I bought them when I did.  Jacquelyn, their older sister in the middle, is wearing a Candi doll outfit. (I now realize that we have a Jacquelyn and a Jackie, owner of Bridal Originals.  Jackie may be referred to by her middle name in the future.)


Here is the whole family.


Kendra's husband was called away to the hospital, so she had to take her picture solo.  Don't worry.  He will be at the party. 

 She decided to go with an amethyst colored gown. (This gown is from a deboxed birthday doll).

Had to slip a few in of the new guy.  Racquel had to go calm the baby down for the babysitter.

No, I didn't intentionally keep Racquel away.


Sunni chose a 'Holiday' gown.  She is contemplating removing the bow.  (This is the gown from The Barbie Holiday Sisters that I deboxed a couple of days ago).

Chang is very happy with her new look.  It's almost like he has a new wife.

Nikki chose a lavender gown.  Now that she has a new Pop Life body, she can hold Darius' hand.

I wonder if she and Darius' sister knew they would both be wearing purple.  I doubt it.
