Zolandia Cast and New Acquisitions

Hello doll people! Oh man, my friend's little girls have outgrown their Barbies so she gave me a bunch of goodies.

But first, let's meet the Zolandians, shall we?


The Royal Household Staff
  • Dominique (London Calling TJ) is the Royal Secretary. She handles Princess Dani's press, advises her on political matters, arranges for her travel, prepares her speeches, etc.
  • Mr. Bates is the butler of the castle. 
  • Young Maura is a house maid
  • Happy Family Grandma (Name to be determined)is the head housemaid and is the boss of the female staff.
  • Catching Fire Katniss (Name to be determined) is Dani's Lady's maid. She manages her wardrobe, jewels and helps her to dress.

The Lesser Nobles
No one has been named but Franco and Veronica get to keep their names though their roles change.

The men are Dani's potential suitors. Franco is involved with Veronica, but I don't think it will last. Veronica and JLo are potential ladies in waiting. (I can't wait to pick Dani's ladies!)

The Royal Family

  • Victor and new wife Tallulah.Victor has given up his claim to the throne but supports his daughter in her new role.
  • Princess Victoire, now second in line for the throne
  • Princess Emmanuelle, third in line for the throne
  • Princess Dani, the heir
  • King Claude, dying sovereign. They say he has but days to live. Meeting his first grandchild has given him new vigor and helped him forgive his son for not being his successor.





There they are. I have a lot of work to do with them but most of it will cost lots of money, so I'm taking my time with them.

Anyhow, I vowed to work on my zillions of tiny projects (like those binder clip purses. So cute.) but I went and got myself another big project. Hey it's what I like best. So I might disappear for a while because I don't want to reveal it until I'm done. But I will photograph the process for you guys who get off on that stuff (guilty!).

But now it's time to show off my goodies.

First up, this beautiful wooden dresser that my cousin got me in Colombia. And a little roll of paper towels. I think they're doll house size but they'll work just fine as toilet paper.
  

Here we have the Barbie Hot Tub Party Bus. I'm serious, that's what it's called. Like they're filming Girls Gone Wild there.
 

The hot tub is missing but cute awning. This one is going to the girls.


It has most of the pieces, a fold down bed and some kind of strange couch contraption. 

And the girls also received this carriage. Press a button and presto!
 

It's a hot air balloon. They are so into hot balloons right now.

And the hot air seats lift out so you can float around or whatever. Doesn't look like a ride I'd like to take.

And another! This is the Pink Glamour Camper. These name folks, you're killing me. The front of the Party Bus is better with realistic lights, but this one is much better inside.

 Both sides open. Dang I didn't get a shot of the orange chairs. The driver and passenger seats lift out and become camp chairs.

The other side flips up and you have yourself a little patio area, safe from pesky insects.

And look at this beaut.  You know I had to get it for Dani, right? Sorry kids! I think I'll keep the clear blue part. I know it's not very realistic but I want Zolandia to have a touch of fantasy.  My eldest got the horse.

We also got a bike, some furniture and tiny goodies.

And best of all, the Bratz mansion.  Wow, Bratz really had it going on for a minute. The architectural details are out of this world. And if you shoot a doll walking by, the scale might not be so bad. (I want to believe!)

There is a little DJ booth that comes with it, pictured here and a little dance floor, not pictured.
 

Yeah, Nikki is way too tall for this place. I was thinking of removing the floors. Some high ceilings can go nicely with the Spanish style. Look at that circular window in the middle. It wants to be free.


Okay that's all folks. I'll share my pic with you when I post the Adventurer's Club photo for February. Theme: Local Attractions.

smooches,
dani

    1. Thanks Duke. I can't imagine the size of the staff you'd need to take care of all your people!

  3. Wow, that Bratz mansion is the business! Even though the scale is off, you can rip off the awnings and stuff and put it on a different structure.

    1. Thanks Nikia. I just love it! The door size is kind of an issue but maybe if I raise it up, put in some steps? Return in 2015 for that one.

  4. I love all of your goodies, but that Pink Glamour Bus is TDF! Lucky you! I can't wait to see what you do with it.

    Happy Valentines Day!

  5. WOW what a haul! Your cast is shaping up nicely and it's nice to see more available men in Grandville/Zoolander. Live the touch of fantasy! That's what this collecting and story telling is all about. The idea you have for removing the floors on the Bratz castle is a great idea. I can totally see it as a Spanish style home.

    Congrats! Happy V day as well. :-)

  7. I love, love, love the Zolandia cast. I'm looking forward to their future stories. Nice stash, too. I have to say I am feeling that hot air balloon. I'm never seen that before.

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
