A lot has happened and a lot has changed. I can go into some of that later. In the meantime, here's a video.

Oh, and I'm actually in the video (my face, not just my hands). I hope that you've all been well!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nWRpciQEXQU" width="320" youtube-src-id="nWRpciQEXQU"></iframe></div><br /><p><br /></p>RoxanneRoxannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01079345476722203250noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-48412916734913266622019-01-22T00:27:00.000-06:002019-01-22T00:27:49.243-06:00Sports Talk and DollsOn January 21, I participated on the panel of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3NLKqhMbuateURlvGpwZ7Q" target="_blank">Moohead Radio's YouTube Channel</a> and shared some of my sports dolls and action figures.<br />

I asked my husband if he sees a resemblance, and he thinks that the doll resembles a young <a href="https://www.google.com/search?biw=1440&bih=834&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=yxCCW-SVC4T19APIw7GYBA&q=kim+fields+tootie&oq=kim+fields+tootie&gs_l=img.3..0j0i30k1.6353.8684.0.8842.17.11.0.6.6.0.154.1236.0j10.10.0....0...1c.1.64.img..2.15.1139...35i39k1j0i67k1j0i8i30k1.0.OQ1tb6N-aYc" target="_blank">Kim Fields</a> slightly.

I do not normally collect Mego figures because I collect 1/6 scale figures, so Tootie is undersized compared to the dolls that I normally collect. I knew that at 8 inches, Tootie would be smaller than the tweens in my collection. It would have been preferable to have a figure a little bit taller that could accurately represent a 12 year old. Even if the Tootie doll had skates like the TV character did the first year of the TV series, she would still be shorter than the other tween dolls pictured below.</div>

I took the chance that Tootie would make a good 1/6 scale child because another one of my Mego figures works perfectly as a child in my collection, and that's Buckwheat. </div>

I was hoping that with this Tootie doll's youthful appearance, she would work well as a 1/6 scale child. Tootie is about the height of Mattel's Janet, Todd, and friends.</div>

Tootie's school uniform is fairly well made. She has on a white shirt, a skirt and matching vest, black shoes, and a blue tie. Her blue socks are painted on, as well as her panties.</div>

Tootie does not really work well as a 1/6 scale child doll because she has a mature body. Here's a look at her articulation below. She has articulation at the wrists, elbows, knees, ankles, and torso.</div>

I thought about rebodying the Tootie head on one of my tween dolls' bodies. Tootie is a skin tone match for Juku Couture Kana. The Juku Couture body is able to wear Tootie's uniform, including the shoes. Tootie's head is a bit small for that body, though. I'm going to keep Tootie as she is.</div>

Tootie's hair is cute. It is parted down the middle and styled in 2 ponytails. I won't ever be able to restyle the hair however, because the head is not rooted in the areas underneath the ponytails.</div>

My overall impression is that this is a decent doll. I was excited to add a Tootie doll to my collection because I loved the TV series The Facts Of Life growing up, and loved the character Tootie as portrayed by Kim Fields. I could tell by the advertisements that the doll would not look much like the Tootie that I know and love, but wanted this representation anyway. I am pleased with the articulation at the elbows, knees, ankles, and torso. I am disappointed with the painted-on socks and sparsely rooted hair. For folks who like to leave dolls in their packaging, I think that they will love this collectible doll. She displays well in her packaging. Mine is going to have plenty of playtime, though.</div>

Here, my new Skipper is pictured with my original Skipper (Homecoming Queen). My original Skipper is demanding that I change the name of this new Skipper. Hmmmmm, I'll have to ponder that one.<br />

Skipper's box had a few other items besides the doll and her phone. There were cardboard cutouts of a To Do List, a delicious looking drink, and a toy xylophone. There was also a plastic sippy cup. </div>

This Skipper is cute, and I like her even more with her articulated body. Ideally, I would have liked for her to be the same height as the original Skipper. Perhaps Mattel will release some articulated Skippers in the future (wishful thinking on my part, but I am hopeful). I like Skipper's outfit and her boots, and I like her phone and the sippy cup. I don't care about the cardboard cutouts. Overall, I'm pleased with this purchase.</div>

My celebrity crush is Denzel Washington. I have a doll created in his likeness, but my doll doesn't look as much like Denzel as I would like. I wish that I have a 1/6 scale trumpet for my Denzel to play in these photos, but I don't, so this horn will have to do.</div>

I once had a crush on Wesley Snipes back in the early 90's, but not for long. I have a Wesley Snipes doll as his character Blade. My crush on Wesley was gone by the time the movie <i>Blade </i>was released. I thought that both Denzel and Wesley were hot in the movie <i>Mo' Better Blues</i>.</div>

My crush on Denzel began in 1984 when I saw the movie <i>A Soldier's Story</i>. I thought that Denzel's character Private First Class Peterson was super cute, and I admired Denzel's acting abilities. My crush on Denzel has persisted to this day. </div>

I remember seeing Wesley Snipes' first movie <i>Wildcats </i>and I thought he was very funny, but not particularly attractive. That opinion changed when I saw <i>Mo' Better Blues</i>. As I recall, he had one scene in particular that I found especially pleasing and it really captured my young imagination.<br />

Here is my video review of the figure.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

At the time I didn't have any extra heads that would be a good match. I purchased this Steph Curry head on eBay hoping that it would match either the Jiaou doll or the Phicen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This head was a better match for the Phicen body, which meant that <a href="http://roxannesdolls.blogspot.com/2017/04/phicen-asian-male-seamless-figure.html" target="_blank">Bruce Lee</a> had to give up his Phicen body. The Bruce head looks good on either body.</div>

The Steph head is not a perfect match for the Phicen body, but it's close enough for me. The Jiaou doll body is slightly shorter and has a shorter neck, so Bruce is not entirely pleased with this arrangement. Perhaps I'll make an adjustment to Bruce's head at some point so that it will sit higher on the Jiaou doll neck.</div>

Steph would have preferred a tall body, but he likes flexing the muscles of this seamless body. And he doesn't seem to mind hanging out in his underwear all the time. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bruce is going to make the best of this situation. After all, he is a great skin tone match for the Jiaou doll body. And he's just as muscular and almost as flexible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Check out <a href="https://blackdollcollecting.blogspot.com/2018/04/presenting-leontyne-grace-by-frantz.html" target="_blank">this post by Black Doll Enthusiast</a> for a great review of Leontyne Grace.<br />

I was thrilled when WLBDA chose artist Frantz Brent-Harris to create the 2018 club doll, and I jumped at the chance to own another doll by this artist. Leontyne Grace is a beautiful curvy fashion doll.<br />

My overall impression is that Leontyne Grace is a beautiful, high-quality, and highly collectible doll. She has a gorgeous face and a lovely full figure. Her dress, wig, and accessories are all high quality as well. She is a sturdy resin doll that while collectible, can withstand some posing and doll play. I am thrilled to have this beautiful doll in my collection. </div>

Here are some dolls that I purchased last year that I photographed, but did not blog about. Most of these have remained in their boxes. I took a break from buying dolls for a few months, but I'm starting to add a few dolls to my collection again now. </div>

I got this Tangerine Twist Barbie because I already had the Uptown Chic Barbie and thought it would be nice to own the entire Fashion Savvy collection. I thought that there were only 2, but found out there's another one. Maybe I'll add that one also one of these years.</div>

Whenever I travel, I always try to <a href="http://roxannesdolls.blogspot.com/2014/11/souvenir-dolls.html" target="_blank">get a doll from the place that I'm visiting</a>. Last year we vacationed in Branson, Missouri, and I purchased this Barbie doll while there.</div>

I think this Tropi-Cutie Barbie was an impulse buy. I probably saw her on someone's blog and they probably put her on an articulated body and repainted her lips, and I thought that I would do the same. Maybe I will, one of these years. For now, she has remained in her package.</div>

I purchased this Travel Friends Kenya doll strictly for her articulated body. I specifically had in mind re-bodying Pawla Wolf (see below) on this body. But when I saw Pawla's younger siblings, I decided to keep her on her original body.</div>

Well, well, well! The Werewolf has been very busy! Meet Pawla, younger sister of <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLKez6KmEFIzG3zcuz6CKn-76WVeVFouMPJkdBmSOu_KRJirL3PTvNb6XKcgH6vdZnDafS1IDMDbO61hywtxUIhghp3tsI1Xn0o7EIhWb6abPnIy9-4cAoyZy3G8z1Fi9jhPX-ny0oRRA/s1600/MH_GirlsSeated.jpg" target="_blank">Clawdeen, Clawdia, Clawd, and Howleen</a>. I was not pleased with Pawla's little wolf body. Apparently in the Wolf family, the younger you are, the more you look like an actual wolf. I was on the fence about purchasing Pawla, but her older siblings urged me to add her to the collection. So here she is.</div>

Soon after finding out about Pawla, I found out about little Barker and Weredith. How could I add Pawla and not add the two youngest members of the Wolf family? I couldn't, I tell you. I was confused when this item arrived. I kept thinking that the little wolf thing was some sort of toy for Barker, but no. That's little Weredith. That's the youngest member of the Wolf family. Oh my. I didn't need another Clawdeen, but one of these days I'll probably practice head shrinking on this one.</div>

Maybe I was just in the mood to purchase Wolf dolls. I decided to also pick up this Clawdeen and Clawd set. This Clawd appears to be a little taller and more buff than the original Clawd. I will no doubt attempt some type of body swap on him at some point.</div>

I thought that the little Monster High children could use a Monster High doll of their very own, so I purchased this mini. I didn't know which doll would be inside, but had hoped that it would be a mini Clawdeen.</div>

I still have some catching up to do. I have a few projects that I photographed, but did not blog about. Things have been hectic for me lately, but I'm going to try to find some time for dolls and blogging here and there.RoxanneRoxannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01079345476722203250noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-83408938840749468422018-02-24T17:45:00.002-06:002018-02-25T23:59:24.380-06:00Kara and KiannaWhat do you do when you want to create a new blog post, but you don't want to take photos, etc.? You look at your saved drafts and pick one! I have no idea why I've had this saved as a draft for so long because I took these photos years ago. At any rate, here are my Barbie So In Style (S.I.S.) Kara and Kianna dolls.<br />

This set spoke to my heart because of the musical aspect. So this was an easy choice over the other sets that were released at the same time (pictured on the back of the box above).</div>

The set comes with a Kara doll, a Kianna doll, a violin, a flute, a karaoke machine with two permanently attached mics, a carrying case, a CD, and sheet music.<br />

Kara has arms that are articulated at the elbow, so she can handle the instruments more easily. It is a challenge for Kianna to play the instruments, but she is learning.<br />

It would have been nice if the mics on the karaoke machine were detachable. But, I have another karaoke machine that came with another set and a bunch of mics around here. Hmmmm, I may have to host a doll karaoke party one of these days...<br />

I read in the description that both Kara and Kianna also love math, and that also speaks to my heart since I am a STEM chick (science, technology, engineering and math) and have been asked to mentor young ladies and try to inspire more of them to take an interest in STEM professions, since women tend to be underrepresented in these professions. Did you know that studies show a <a href="http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/exchange/serendipupdate/correlation-between-music-and-math-neurobiology-perspective" target="_blank">correlation between music and mathematical abilities</a>?<br />

But let's face it, the music is just more fun. I can't really see myself having these dolls doing calculus. I can see them having fun playing with their instruments, though!</div>

My overall impression is that I love this set! It is good for collectors as well as children. The set displays beautifully in the box, and is also fun to play with. It does come with tiny pieces, so it is not appropriate for very small children. I love the mentorship theme of these dolls, and love that there is a focus on both music and math with these particular dolls. One of the reasons that I've been asked to consider mentoring young ladies is so that other young ladies (Black young ladies in particular) will see the STEM professions as a possibility for themselves. I hope that seeing these Black math-loving dolls has inspired girls worldwide. Even if math is not the primary focus, maybe it sank in subliminally.</div>

Lynette is a very cute doll. There are a couple of quality control issues with mine. There are marks underneath her right eye, and the center front of her blouse is not sewn correctly. I was planning on redressing her anyway because I'm not crazy about this outfit. Other than that, I'm very pleased with her. She has on earrings, a short floral top, skirt, and blue shoes. With a little effort, Lynette can stand unassisted in her shoes. Her head will move side to side, but not up and down. Lynette's head is a little on the large side, but not to the point of distraction.</div>

Lynette has on molded panties. She has articulation at her elbows and knees. She is curvier than a standard size Barbie doll, but not as curvy as a curvy Barbie. Her feet are the same size as a standard Barbie.</div>

Overall, I am pleased with this doll and with this line of dolls. I'm happy that these dolls represent multicultural beauty and that there are different skin tones, hairstyles, and fashions available. These dolls are very reasonably priced. I am thrilled that these dolls have articulation! I think that children and adult collectors alike will love these. I love the fact that these dolls are curvier than a standard Barbie doll. My doll is able to pose well and she can hold her poses. Her joints are not too stiff and not too loose. I do wish that the same face mold was not used for all of the dolls in this line. I will probably buy more of these and swap heads. I'm looking forward to seeing more from this line of dolls!</div>

Now I will share the story of how he got his second and third Barbies.<br />
<br />
Last week, I had asked my husband to look for the cornrows Fashionistas Ken at Walmart for me. I even texted him a photo and everything. Walmart did not have the Ken that I was looking for. So, I ordered Ken online. He has not arrived yet.<br />
<br />
This evening my husband came home, Walmart bag in hand, and said that if I don't want both items in the bag, he would take the one that I don't want. I saw a Barbie box peeking out of the bag, and started clapping. He took the dolls out of the bag, and he had purchased the cornrows Ken and Zig & Zag Barbie Fashionistas.<br />

I told him that I had ordered the Ken online and that the doll was on the way, and that I already own <a href="https://roxannesdolls.blogspot.com/2017/04/curvy-dolls-fashions.html" target="_blank">Zig & Zag</a>. He told me "Well, that means I get to keep both of them then." I agreed. He said "That means that they stay in the box." I agreed again. So now my husband has a collection of 3 Mattel dolls, in addition to his <a href="https://roxannesdolls.blogspot.com/2012/03/ripcord-rebodied.html" target="_blank">Ripcord action figure</a>. His doll collection is becoming quite impressive indeed.</div>

A couple of days ago, I made a slight modification to my Zig & Zag doll. I removed her pink lip color and gave her a more neutral lip color. </div>

The black frames of Calista's glasses had faded and chipped over time. I repainted them with black nail polish and painted over that with clear polish. They look better, but not satisfactory to me. One day (when I finally buy some acrylic paint), I will completely remove all of the nail polish and paint and do a proper repaint of her glasses.</div>

I showed my husband my altered Zig & Zag doll. He was unimpressed. Maybe he prefers his own Zig & Zag doll. I do appreciate him bringing dolls home "for me" tonight, though. That brought a huge smile to my face.RoxanneRoxannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01079345476722203250noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-86124069558450618262017-07-04T23:19:00.000-05:002017-07-04T23:19:01.972-05:00Little Black DressesI got these 6 little black dresses for only $4.80 with free shipping.

The dresses are kind of stretchy, so they will fit a variety of different dolls around Barbie's size. The dresses with the gathers at the bottom will not fit the curvy Barbies. The dresses are rather thin and short. They are form fitting and do not have any Velcro or snaps.</div>

Well, I want a lot of things, but I'll stay on topic here and limit this post to dolls. I've ordered several, hoping that some would arrive on my special day, and they did, so I've had a good time opening my gifts from me to me. Here are my recent arrivals.</div>

I never noticed until recently (or at least I didn't remember) that Tara has a darker skin tone than Dominique. I didn't purchase Anthoney and Tara years ago when I purchased the others because they are so similar, but now I've decided that there is enough of a difference to warrant adding them to my collection. </div>

Hasbro and Disney Moanas have arrived. The gift bag is from my husband (it contains non doll related gifts). He didn't know I was getting Moana dolls, and I didn't know about this Moana gift bag, so this was quite a coincidence.<br />

Monica loves the outfit, necklace, purse, and drink. Moana loves the shoes. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to ever find any shoes for Moana, so I was relieved to see these cute big shoes in this fashion pack. Moana is wearing a Curvy Barbie fashion below. I don't think that any of my dolls can wear the earrings,</div>

I saw these cute dresses that come with necklaces and purses (all handmade) while searching for Teen Trends fashions on eBay. The seller was having a Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale, so that's what I did. Winx Club Layla (in the middle) only had one dress, so I decided that she needed a new one.</div>

The gold dress will not close in the back for Dasia or Monica. The pink and the red dresses fit great (although the red dress is really long). The pink dress also fits Tracy Turnblad.</div>

This ensemble also came with a pair of pants that can be worn instead of the skirt. Unfortunately, none of these dolls can wear the pants because they are too long and too narrow. Below, Kevin Durant models the pants just so that you can see what they look like (sorry Kevin).<br />

I had been seeing this figure on ebay and other sites being sold for $40+ dollars, but that was more money than I wanted to pay for this <a href="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y36/roxanneroxanne/Borrowed/sheva3.jpg" target="_blank">Hot Toys Sheva Alomar</a> look-alike. But I kept watching, because I wanted to see if the Crazy Toys figure had anything that I could use with my <a href="http://roxannesdolls.blogspot.com/2015/11/an-alpha-for-sheva.html" target="_blank">hybrid Sheva Alomar</a> (Hot Toys head on a Triad Alpha body). I was especially hoping that I could use the Crazy Toys Sheva Alomar blouse with my figure.</div>

Another reason for me purchasing this figure is that I wanted to see if I could use the Crazy Toys head on my recently purchased <a href="http://roxannesdolls.blogspot.com/2017/04/quest-for-brown-bodies.html" target="_blank">Tianyimei</a> action figure body, and I can. The head is not a perfect fit and it is not a perfect skin tone match, but close enough (especially since I have no other head options for the Tianyimei body).</div>

I was thrilled that I was able to get the Sheva Alomar blouse off of the Crazy Toys body and onto my hybrid Hot Toys/Triad Sheva! </div>

Here are my two head swapped Shevas together. The Tianyimei body is shorter and slimmer than the Triad body. The Crazy Toys head is smaller than the Hot Toys head. I've decided that these two will be sisters here in my collection. So I need to come up with a name for little Sheva (other than Little Sheva). How about Sheena?<br />

Here's a closer look at the pair. Of course, the Hot Toys head is much better in quality than the Crazy Toys head. I would consider repainting the Crazy Toys head one of these days, if I can get my painting skills up to par. I'll probably at least line her eyes and paint her eyebrows and lips (eventually).</div>

I dressed Sheena in a Barbie shirt. She has a long neck with the Tianyimei body, and I also wanted her to be able to show of her rubbery torso. The pants are from Integrity Toys Janay, and the shoes belong to Only Hearts Club Briana Joy. Sheva is enjoying her new radio and earpiece while wearing the Crazy Toys Sheva Alomar blouse, a pair of tan Ken pants, and some Triad heels.<br />

What will become of the Crazy Toys body? I don't know. I have a few Liv doll heads, or I'll pick something else from my Bin of Forgotten Heads. I'll stand the knife-wielding Crazy Toys body with sweet doll head somewhere in the back once I finally get all of my dolls displayed.<br />

Gabby displays beautifully in her box. I got so excited creating the video that I forgot to take a photo of her while she was still in the box. But, the video captures those images.<br />

Gabby is a beautiful, fully articulated doll. The doll bears a strong resemblance to the real Gabby Douglas. Here's a closeup.</div>

I am thrilled that Mattel has chosen to honor Gabby Douglas by creating a doll in her likeness. Gabby shares some inspiring words on the back of the doll box.</div>

Gabby uses the same body as Made to Move Barbie. Her articulation is great, and she poses easily and smoothly, and is able to hold her poses. She can stand without assistance, even without her shoes.</div>

Overall, I am very impressed with the Gabby Douglas Barbie doll. One thing that I found very noticeable is that her head is lighter than her body. Also, her hair has a crimped appearance except for one small section in the back of her head. I find these things a little distracting, but I'm still very happy with the doll.<br />
<br />
I viewed this doll on Target's website, and is it just me or does that one look slightly different than this one? And it doesn't appear to have the lighter colored head. I wonder if there is a difference?<br />

For a long time, I used to take comfort in the fact that my collection was contained in one room of the house (for the most part). But now, there has been significant "spillage". Several of my dolls (and boxes) have invaded my master bedroom.<br />
<br />

<h4>
The Master Bedroom Closet</h4>
I am hesitant to show you photos of my master bedroom closet. But I'm going to take a big deep breath and I'm going to show you. And I just know that I am not alone in this. The bottom portion of my closet is fairly organized. But the top - not so much. I have been piling dolls and empty doll boxes in this closet, because my doll room closet is nearly full. This is my master bedroom closet and it's not supposed to have dolls and doll boxes. This has to change. I can't even reach the top of the stack on the top shelf of my closet, so many of these boxes were just thrown up there with me hoping that they would land in a somewhat organized fashion.<br />

The spillage into the master bedroom was not contained only to the closet. I had a stack of boxed dolls on top of my husband's chest of drawers. That also happens to be my favorite spot for taking my doll photos because it's next to a window and also has hanging lights directly overhead. My husband never said much about me keeping dolls there, except when the stack would get too high and he would warn me that my dolls were in danger of falling over every time he opened one of his drawers. He did give me a sign of his silent protest over one of my dolls recently, though. For a while, I had my nude <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_TJbPbpuWaCB6iyDcG3GxWLW9BCGAEIpiRmQoVvsbftMO9205KE9NWDs27mWfgupoSN4czf9Z90fowApiRtEP7SPeqcxO9NOw32ZEwpn0NCCFrOrNVxmcjaWC-Z5zRQSbtcjDaNEkrXo/s1600/AT-006BoxedCovered.jpg" target="_blank">WorldBox AT-006</a> boxed doll there right at eye level, and I came home one day to find that the doll was facing the wall. So naturally, I turned the doll back around. The next time I came home, the doll was facing the wall again, and my husband this time verbally let me know that he doesn't want to see "that" when he's going into his drawers for something. I opened the figure soon after that and my husband no longer had to be subjected to male doll nudity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the master bedroom, I also have an armoire with the top shelves full of dolls, and a desk with some dolls sitting on the bookshelves.</div>

The Doll Room Closet</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My doll room has a walk-in closet, so I'm supposed to be able to walk in there, right? Currently, this is not so. I'm not even going to show you the chaos that is currently taking place at the bottom of that closet. But I will show you the shelves.</div>

For that top shelf, I'm going to move everything off of it except for stuffed animals. That shelf looks like it's sinking in the middle, so I don't want to add any weight and cause the thing to come crashing down.</div>

For the top shelf in this photo, I'm going to find another spot for those drapes. That's prime doll box real estate right there! Maybe those drapes can share the sagging shelf with my stuffed animals. Hmmmm...</div>

<i>Goals</i></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't want much - just to be able to display my dolls in an organized and attractive fashion. I want my collection contained to one room. I want to keep my dolls and doll accessories safe from my cats. I want to:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Move the vast majority of the dolls out of the master bedroom and master bedroom closet</li>
<li>Have the vast majority of my dolls contained in one room</li>
<li>Have the majority of my dolls out on display</li>
<li>Have all of my dolls easily accessible</li>
<li>Keep my closets organized</li>
<li>Have a well-lit designated spot for taking my doll photos and videos - in the doll room</li>
<li>Have all of my doll accessories organized and easily accessible</li>
<li>Have a spot for my sewing, crocheting, painting, and crafts - in the doll room</li>
<li>Throw away most of my empty doll boxes</li>
</ul>

<h4>
Doll Room</h4>
<div>
So far, I have managed to clear off my husband's chest of drawers for the most part. There's just <a href="http://roxannesdolls.blogspot.com/2012/06/my-husbands-barbie.html" target="_blank">my husband's Barbie</a>, 2 of my boxed dolls, 2 other dolls, and some stuffed animals there now.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So you know that you're a doll collector when you see something meant for a different purpose, and just know that it would be great for your dolls. Someone posted a photo on Facebook of a shoe organizer similar to the one hanging on the door on the left below, and I just knew I had to have some for my dolls. While I was shopping, I also purchased some plastic storage/organizer bins (in the photo on the right - black and clear). There's two in the photo, and I probably won't leave them stacked like that. I think I want them side by side, and I'll probably keep boxed dolls on top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_j27h_cQGCzgFYAvWw5o8pT_huft6LbfO4tfNCTNMeSB8pEvocBe6oJ9yj9F68clRUu-0te_XMLgcbzLiME9jbJmdOc6xF27Jrl-BNjA6liuJxboGZl4c1D2Dvbziqvk1V1b8DzPz9es/s1600/OrgHallDoor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_j27h_cQGCzgFYAvWw5o8pT_huft6LbfO4tfNCTNMeSB8pEvocBe6oJ9yj9F68clRUu-0te_XMLgcbzLiME9jbJmdOc6xF27Jrl-BNjA6liuJxboGZl4c1D2Dvbziqvk1V1b8DzPz9es/s320/OrgHallDoor.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the shoe organizer, there are 24 slots. There's really enough room for me to put 2 dolls in each slot, but these guys vigorously disagreed with that idea. I have another shoe organizer that I will use for female dolls, and the females will probably have to share space on that one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These shoe organizers also work great for actual shoes, so now I'm using one for that purpose in the master bedroom closet. That means that I've cleared off my old shoe rack. It has now been re-purposed in the doll room to hold stuffed animals and boxed dolls.</div>

Nothing is fully organized yet in the doll room, I'm just moving things in there and stacking things up and thinking about how I want to put everything. Meanwhile, the dolls below are languishing on boxes in the middle of the floor, waiting on me to put them someplace, and hoping that the cats don't get into the room while they're in this vulnerable state.</div>

One day I will actually learn to use the sewing machine that's barely visible in the top left corner of the photo above (a gift from my mom-in-law). One day. In the meantime, I need to find a good spot to keep it, so that it will be easily accessible to me when I do decide to use it.<br />
<br />
I used to want a curio cabinet for my dolls. Then I found out about detolfs, and I've been wanting some of those ever since. The challenge is that I don't have an Ikea store here, and to have them shipped here would double the cost. The nearest Ikea store is a 3+ hour drive from here. I want them, but not that badly. They would be ideal to display my dolls and to keep them somewhat safe from my cats. The cats are not allowed in the doll room, but every now and then either me or my husband will accidentally leave that door open. They are older cats now and don't chew on stuff like they used to, but I don't want to provide that temptation to them.<br />
<br />
I decided to reclaim my bookshelf from out of our home office. It was filled mainly with computer technical manuals that I hadn't cracked open in years. I cleared off those shelves, and my husband moved that bookshelf into the doll room. You can see the top couple of shelves of that bookshelf on the left on the photo below.<br />

I've been working on my doll room for the past 4 days, and I still have a lot of work to do. Play time is put on hold until I get that room and my closets at least somewhat organized. I'm sure that the doll room will remain a work in progress. I already have thoughts about the next phase of that room.RoxanneRoxannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01079345476722203250noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-36308368680335496512017-05-03T22:48:00.000-05:002017-05-03T22:48:56.685-05:00American Champions Venus Williams<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I purchased American Champions Serena and Venus Williams dolls several years ago. They remained in their boxes for years, but I purchased them with the intention to release them from their boxes one of these days.</div>

Venus was happy to be released from her box, but wanted her sister Serena to be released, as well. I didn't want to put Serena on an Art S. Buck body. In fact, I wasn't entirely satisfied with Venus being on the Art S, Buck body. I looked around to see if I had any other action figure bodies that may be a better match for Serena.</div>

I think that the body of the Triad Alpha figure would be a good body match for Serena, but it is not a good skin tone match. So, Serena stays in her box for now.</div>

I became aware of some Sims dolls being sold on eBay for a great price (thanks Dawn!), so I purchased a couple. These dolls use Herobuilders action figure bodies. I thought that this body might be a better match for Venus.</div>

And I was right. Venus looks much better on the Herobuilders body. The skin tone is a much better match, and the body looks more athletic. Also, both hands are able to grip items of various sizes.<br />

I'm not entirely satisfied with the Herobuilders body. It has weird elbow and knee joints, and something just looks a little off about it. But this is a better choice than Venus' other two bodies. Serena is still in her box for now. I want her to have a different body than Venus, so I'm going to wait until another option comes along for her.RoxanneRoxannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01079345476722203250noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-59704791243464909302017-05-01T19:56:00.000-05:002017-05-01T23:21:03.586-05:00Disney Descendants Audrey SwapLast year I purchased a Disney Descendants Audrey doll.<br />

But on this dark and rainy Saturday, I caved to the temptation.<br />
<br />
This fashion pack for curvy Barbies arrived this week. If you plan on buying this one, be careful, because there's one that looks almost exactly like this that fits standard sized Barbies. Make sure that the check mark is under the curvy silhouette at the upper right.<br />

This Barbie Fashionistas Zig & Zag doll also arrived this week. I had previously decided not to buy her, but since seeing her potential in how others have customized her, I changed my mind.</div>

Still reeling from the <a href="http://roxannesdolls.blogspot.com/2017/04/what-has-happened-to-janay.html" target="_blank">loss of my Janay's hair</a>, I found myself on eBay searching for Janay (why, I don't know). I saw this one that I don't recall seeing before. She's African Dancer Janay. She's begging to be released from her box so that she can dance dance dance with her articulated body, but this one will wait.</div>

So this is what I was REALLY shopping for when I purchased Zig & Zag and the curvy fashions. But this Musician Barbie will have to wait until next Saturday or later, because I feel that I will need to spend some quality time with her when I do release her from her box. She has some cool accessories.</div>

I struggle somewhat with photography, but I figure that my photos are decent enough for this blog. You can see what I'm talking about well enough in my photos for the most part. However, my videos have been a different story. They come out so dang dark! I really am trying to improve with my photography and my videos. So another one of my purchases arrived this week, and I did take these out of the box intending to use them today, but one of them looks like it was damaged during shipping and has a piece broken off. So back in the box they went, and they will probably be going back to where they came from (which I'm dreading, since <a href="http://roxannesdolls.blogspot.com/2014/04/i-really-dislike-going-to-post-office.html" target="_blank">I do really despise going to the post office</a>).</div>

Here are <a href="http://roxannesdolls.blogspot.com/2017/03/madam-lavinia.html" target="_blank">Madam LaVinia</a> and <a href="http://roxannesdolls.blogspot.com/2016/07/curvy-fun.html" target="_blank">Emoji Fun</a> posing in the new fashions. I know that LaVinia would look better without her stockings, but I don't want to remove them and deal with the adhesive that is holding them up on her legs. The ladies can not stand in the brown shoes that came with this fashion pack, which is really disappointing. Also, I can't tell if that's supposed to be a belt or a necklace that comes with the fashion pack, but it doesn't look right as either. In order to fit as a belt on the curvy ladies, it would have to ride way up high on their waists. The belt (or whatever) looks good on standard size Barbies, though. I wonder if they just used the same belt that they used for the standard Barbie fashion pack. The purse is cute.</div>

Monica came with the outfit and shoes shown in this photo, a doll stand, a bikini, a choker necklace, and another pair of shoes. I was told by the artist that she can not stand on her own, but I just had to try it. She can stand in her shoes, but she really doesn't like to and threatened to fall down at any given moment. I will use her stand all of the time with her. She can share shoes with Monster High dolls.</div>

Here she is showing off her gorgeous curves in her bikini. Her head and neck are attached by strong Earth magnets, so her head can be removed. This is to allow for interchangeability with heads. Hmmmmm, does this mean that there are more heads from this artist on the horizon? I can't wait to find out! Since her head is easily removed, I was able to get her necklace on easily. Her legs are also attached by magnets (to allow for interchangeability with legs that have flat feet).</div>

Overall, I am very impressed with this doll. I love the fact that this artist has depicted a facet of beauty that we do not often see in the doll world. Monica is a gorgeous doll. Of course, I would have liked to see some more articulation. Perhaps when Monica's flat footed legs come out, there will be some articulation at the knees (I can only hope). Monica is heavy and sturdy and high quality. She is a treasured doll in my collection.</div>
