Want Clothes for Your 8" Mego Female Figures?

Grandma Walton is on a shelf at my eye level. She inspired this post.

For those seeking "everyday" fashions for your 8" Mego figures - the female ones - try the Only Hearts Club doll fashions. The shoes are too large for those Mego figures, but the pants "just" fit if you cuff them (i.e., roll up the extra pants length).

Happy re-dressing!

Amusing Review of the Recent Anti-Barbies - Mixis Dolls Included

Could you use a laugh today? I suggest this article about some of the recent "anti-Barbies" dolls. Erica Tempest grades "Anti-Barbies" from Bratz to Only Hearts Club. Who gets the best grades and why? Read the article to see.



Note: I would have rated the Mixis higher, but I think it is cool that they are recognized enough to be part of an "anti-Barbie" line-up. Progress, yes?

Second Target Visit - New Target in Cheltenham

This time, I visited the "new" Target near the Cheltenham and Ogontz Avenues intersection. (Note: it's located behind the Shop Rite Supermarket, if you face the market and then walk or drive to the left. It's almost hidden away.)

Target had LOTS of the BFC Ink. Calista's and those cute Moxie Girls. Nice selection of Barbies, too. The H2O dolls with their molded on bras. Some Hannah Montana, High School Musical, Wizards of Waverly Place dolls. A few Only Hearts Club dolls but no Kayla Rae doll.

I would almost not mention this, but I noticed there were a LOT of Black dolls available. I thought: well, I guess I can figure out who this Target expects to visit. Interesting, how stores select merchandise to fit their expected clients. Good, I am NOT complaining, but it made me think, you *get* who the target (ouch, bad pun intended) is for this store.

The official address for this new Target is

2450 Shoppers Lane
Philadelphia, PA 19150
(267) 628-3280

Deboxing Hrithik Roshan (SpinMaster)

Last night, I was removing Hrithik Roshan from his box when I discovered that his head was stapled to the cardboard backing of his plastic box. Ellen Smith - formerly Grandma Walton - discovered him face down and helped detach him.









Grandma's new outfit is from the Only Hearts Horse & Pony outfit line.
