The Vinyl Lounge - http://members5.boardhost.com/pinkparlor/ - has Black History as the photo theme for this first week of February. I recommend that webpage for visual treats at any time.
Theme, a second theme for this month!
Brotherly love in playscale: finding diversity in fashion dolls and action figures from the 1960s to now: Barbie, Fashion Royalty, Momoko, Susie, GI Joe, Power Team, Mixis.

Fabulous February - Toy Fair
Date: February 15–18, 2009
Place: The Jacob Javits Center in New York City
Event: T O Y F A I R 2009!
Okay, needless to say as a mere doll and action figure enthusiast, I will NOT be attending Toy Fair. Sigh. Perhaps someday, one day, I will be able to attend the largest doll show with innumerable toy manufacturers, toy buyers, and the toy press ... one day, I will attend as a member of the press. In the meantime, I will scour every web source and paper source I can BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER. As a collector, it is my business to learn as much as I can so that I can search store shelves or online websites. Can't miss anything exciting.
So one theme for February will be Toy Fair news.
