Swamped!

Oh my lovies, I am so busy at work, which seems to be the only place I can work on this blog.

I haven't been doing much since the holiday. But I did receive my belated Xmas gifts (wanted to spend all the money on the kids, so I only got the lonely lighthouse keeper and a Justin Beiber outfit)

Anyway I got the two Fallen Angels accessory packs. They are a perfect fit for Dynamite bodies.


And yes all my fine attempts at lighting are gone!

Oh I also got the Barbie Basics (bathing suit gals) accessory pack. The blue one. I'm trying to make it work for June the transsexual but I promptly lost the belt.

I had a little mula burning a hole in my pocket but I couldn't find anything to buy.  A bench for the park?  A rocking chair for my lighthouse keeper? Much needed plain t-shirts?

No! Something totally unnecessary!
This crap!

Mostly I'm just looking for wedding dresses for Dani and I plan on buying every white dress I see. Plus Rock Hudson is hella handsome. I'm sure I can trade Doris' hideous head or make her an old lady or something.

But the good news is *ta da!* I came in right at my $40 limit. Well, before shipping. Formalities.

Other projects: I ripped up egg cartons, so now I have to glue them to the walkway and paint then lightly.

Also, I hate my fashion royalty dolls. I'm going to try my first real repaints and if they don't work out, it just means returning to the junk drawer.


Anyway dahlinks, have a great week and I'll keep you posted!

OH HEY! Does anyone have another (2) purple Fallen Angel dress like above or the maroon one that came with Zarrin, the Fall Angel above? Dani needs bridesmaid dresses.  Edgy ones!

smooches,
dani

  1. First off Dani, I got your email and I rely back to you so because it is pretty long!

    2nd I just want the star dolls for their fashion! Plus I need to catch up on your blog because I didn't know that Dani was getting married! 2012 will be the year of the weddings!

  2. You're still two steps ahead of me. I'm not ready to venture into redoing any FR's. I will kill off an old blonde Babs or two. I haven't looked for the Star Doll packs yet. I just want certain pieces.

    Can't wait to see what other white dresses Dani has to choose from. Is Rock articulated?

  3. Love the accessory pack outfits! I have the same question as Dollz4Moi, is Rock Hudson articulate? LMAO about Doris' "hideous head." Ooo...maybe you can make her a nosey meddlesome neighbor. Did you see Bringing Down the House (Queen Latifah & Steve Martin) Betty White's character was hilarious. :)

    Great haul.

  4. I sincerely doubt Rock's articulated. He'll probably be like the Barbie Basics boy. But a good, manly face and you don't get that much from Mattel!

    Oooh I need a good nosy neighbor. Some lady that just sits at her window sill all day and knows all the goings on of Grandville. I like!

    What I really want for Dani, if I don't get the totally overpriced, unarticulated Grace Kelly bride doll, is a dress like Catherine Bissett. Remember her? JFK Jr's bride? Great dress.

  5. "Much needed plain t-shirts?

    No! Something totally unnecessary!

    This crap!"

    LOL!!!

    You can still find some plain TANKS from Basics in stores. I'm sure you know, but to me, they've been a godsend. I'd love some more sweaters and jackets for layering, though. I love that Basics ish, haha. Maybe they'll come out with tees. One thing I love is how they're numbered to allow hundreds in the future! Ah, happy sigh. It'd be nice if they came in the two body shapes, but at least their bodies can be swapped for more pose-able ones of the same clothing size (most of you really care).

    Anyway, I bought the same accessory set (waiting on the more yellow one b/c it's chilly out & that's too summer + budget) but I'm kinda peeved b/c Barbie Collector should have shipped it yesterday---but my charge is still pending & I know how Internet shopping works! On the website they brag about fast shipping. Ugh.

    I really love Doris's head, btw, I think she's fantastic - I don't get it. Oh well. :-) I enjoy realistic Barbies & I'm addicted to short hair - even as a kid liked it on dolls (I was a good "hairdresser" too). And hey, old people are needed, they just take some DIY.

    Oddly, to me Rock looks less manly than Douche Bag Kens of today; the faces are too macho in a bad way (with terrible hair, some of them). Rock's just the perfect all-around handsome guy, not too much of this, that or anything. I definitely want to get him sometime, myself.

    Personally, I don't know what to buy next, really - I'm afraid of maxing out my current budget quickly. Mostly, I'm anxious to get what's in the mail and pop over to see if Barnes & Noble has what I REALLY want in stock in B&M (fashion designer); I'd feel bothered to get it online, but hate worse to wait and THEN have to wait for shipping, but we're really busy in our TWO CASAS, 'cos we're taking a month to move to a new apartment. I'm trying not to put shopping and "Barbie errands" before actual important things.

    Of course, I want to shop, and yet I don't want to - that's odd for this chica!

    Anyway, wedding stuff! Exciting! Is Dani you? (Dumb question?)

  6. No, Dani is not me. We just have the same name. Dani is Feelin' Fierce Dani (Dynamite Girls). You can read more about her here: http://www.vitaplastica.com/dani-fear.html

  7. Hello from spain, Rock is very manly. The weeding dress of Grace Kelly is wonderful. I have already looking forward to the weeding. Keep in touch

  8. I love the Rock and DD set. Mostly because of Rock. So when's the wedding? I get this question all the time about Rod and Danielle's wedding. So much pressure. Those purple dresses will make nice bridesmaids dresses for Dani. I'm looking forward to the wedding.

  9. I'm looking forward to the wedding too. Probably won't be for another year. I want to get a few more dresses first, then maybe use Stinker's Stuff tutorials (the confessional) to make a little Catholic church (well, at least the altar). Dani strikes me as Catholic. When is your Dani(elle) getting married?

  10. Do you have bridal shoes (& clutch) picked out or are you going to be interested in borrowing some? I just got this set in the mail, and I didn't quite know how it would look, but they're so fabulous and look so bridal! I won't have weddings or much going on for quite some time. They might need to fulfill some bridal destiny, heh. I can show you a picture later, if you'd like!

    1. Thanks Elle. But I think I'm all set for shoes and I probably won't use a purse at all. Doris Day came with both just in case.

Grandville Summer Festival!

Hello doll friends, First up, I gotta show you this. My 4 year old was playing with my Barbie cast-offs and set up this little scene. (That yellow thing on the table is a TV shaped eraser.) Dig the lamp she made with a wedding cake and the pole from maybe a Barbie dress form? Adorbs. Anyway, this weather (raining pretty much daily for the last month or so) has wrecked my spray painting plans. Much of the royal storyline rests on this painting project. So for now I decided to continue the other stories I have going. Enjoy: "Ho-ly crap, what on earth are you wearing?" "Aw, Sook, I feel bad enough."   "Seriously. You are wearing khakis. You look cray cray. You're like somebody's mom right now. Please explain this situation." "My boss said my outfit was too sexy so I had to borrow something from Le Skater Dork over there at the cafe. Jeez, now I owe her one. Oh crap Channel 1 News is here."   "Thanks John. Lavita

Zee Gypsies!

I'm home today, the kids are at school (half day), so I decided to take some pictures with my little window of time. I rarely show the gypsies and one of you guys requested it, so here they are! "Hello, I am Carmen Kirpachi. Welcome to our home." "This is my husband Milosh." "Hallo."  "This is my brother, Franco. While his gaje girlfriend Josephine is in Paris, he's spending a lot more time with us." "Excuse me, I have to put some more wood in the stove so I can get dinner started." "My goat stew is Milosh's favorite but we need to get the pot hot first." "This is my living area, also known as Franco's bedroom. But we don't mind. The Romany love having family around." "Milosh says I drive like a fugitive so he doesn't let me drive very often." "But sometimes I put a glamour on him and he forgets how much he hates my driving." "

Introducing Nymeria and the Alurium Vaccarra

Ever have a couple of days off Facebook and though you wonder what happened to your friends over the long weekend, you can help feeling a little peaceful? That's how I feel in my week of staying off the blogs and forums and various sites. But I missed a lot! So many cool posts! It's going to take a while to dig myself out. One must wonder, did my creative spurt have something to do with not being all over the web looking at what everyone else is doing? Anyway let's get to it. So on my birthday, my three Stardolls arrived! Aside from the outfit, that Paris one was not cute. I dunno, she's too boring looking. But Iris was THRILLED that she got a new, dressed doll. Well for a few minutes anyway. Did you know that they can't bend their legs? Like they can't sit down? Terrible. Anyway, the other two were great! Inspiring. Meet Valentina. A Columbiana who restores classic cars. She was very happy with a Liv body. She might be Nadia's next girlfriend, w
