Anyone remember my ethnic dollar store doll, Johnny? Well, someone chose him as their FB graphic. Check him here.

Who'd have thought it?

Guess the Gifts from Limbe Dolls

Surprise gifts came my way. Some of my guys and gals are delighted. Others feel a bit peeved. Well, that can happen when there are so many different sizes of playscale characters. Want to guess what I received? Okay, I'm leaving three clues:

1.) This is the season for wearing these items


2.) These items are brightly colored and comfortable


3.) These items were created during the development of a new instructional video series Limbe Dolls will produce for September


Bring on the guesses ...

Teresa's Birthday Guessed! Ding! Ding! We Have a Winner!

Everyone, let's take time to applaud Frannie of Thrift Store Dolls. She submitted the correct date for Teresa's birthday: July 19 (1988 - but we don't have to keep that part, lol).

What does Frannie win for her investigation/recollection? A good condition, vintage Francie outfit called "Tennis Tunic." So, Frannie, please send your mailing address to me at d7ana (@) yahoo.com.

This August, I will have contests for my Followers aka Allies so stop by. My way of saying, "Thanks" for your time and collaborations.

August Heat vs. Our Playscale Pals

August. Sultry summer time. Pfft.

Dog days of summer. Hot, humid atmosphere. Thunderstorms bringing relief. Mego melt? Try any manufacturer's melt - excessive heat is dangerous to all plastic and/or vinyl DAFs. Direct sunlight - no, no. Please be careful about exposing your DAFs to direct sunlight AND please try to keep them cool. Plastic joints and seams will melt and make it harder to pose.

Denise Van Patten has suggestions for protecting your DAFs in general safe as well as specific suggestions for Barbie types. Additional reading can be found at
1st Collectibles.

Hot weather is tough enough for sweating humans, but it's brutal and fatal for our plastic and vinyl folks, too. Take care.

Happy Belated Birthday, Teresa! Drum Roll, Too.

God, it feels good to finally close my legs!

Oh, I didn't know I was on yet. But check the photo of me below. If you were told to assume a dramatic position, well, you might have done it, too. I was supposed to show how flexible I was. I was also supposed to be bought by some kid who would rip open my packaging and take me out of what had quickly become a painful position. My luck though, I go to a collector who doesn't remove me from my box until 14 years later. On a hot and humid late July afternoon. I kicked off my once-cool brown high tops and wrestled out of the pink corduroy wide legged pants and the long-sleeved argyle sweater. Console myself with this thought: if the kid bought me, I'd probably be in pieces. Here's how I posed in the box:

Whew!

Glad I got out of prison - the box. Why now? I am here to replace another Teresa who was going to bore you with the fashions she inherited from some other Fashion Fever girls. Some officious bit calling herself Izzy-Never-Bella starts snapping orders at me. Yo, Little Mama - who died and made you Queen? She tosses a dress at me, and tells me I won't be able to use the other fashions. The Teresa closet post was scrapped, but drums are on. Guess I am the Teresa understudy. Whatever.

Do any of you remember when my birthday was? First one to write back with the correct date will win a vintage Francie outfit. TBA tomorrow, August 1st.

Wait, bossy Izzy is back with a camera. If I weren't so relieved to have my legs comfortable again, I would seriously kick her ... okay, smiling for the camera.
