Want to See DAFs Kung Fu Fighting?

No, I have not gone that creative. But Philip Lane has. And he has for many years now. So let me give you his url so that you, too, can discover or rediscovery the best 1:6 scale martial arts-inspired, faith-dusted movies.

Enjoy.

Welcome Renee

First doll of 2012: Renee.

I held out against other dolls, but I could not resist Renee's charms so she found her way into my Target basket and out of the store. Sigh. Here she meets some of the East Philly kiddies - from left to right, Darla, Abby, and Tawny Tommy. They stand outside the Barbie Teen Dream Bedroom.

I like the side, but I need to redo that flooring. Next time, folks ;-D

Star Dolls 2012

Flickr again or more precisely, tru_fashionista_luv and chocliteluvr4evas share promotion stills about the new Star Dolls series, Viole and Rio. Hurry, hurry. Check out the new dolls. Do you think they are as attractive as the first run of the Star Dolls by Barbie or not?

Dana in enabling mode.

Irish-American Blonde

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Okay, Belated

How many of you were expecting a red-haired, green-eyed Barbie? I dote on Barbies. I like red-haired dolls. But if I see one more red-haired, green-eyed doll representing Ireland, I will ... see one more red-haired, green-eyed doll representing Ireland.

Sigh. Okay, she is not play scale. Yes, that's true. But she's s doll from my youth so she's a giant among the play scale folks. Her name is Kerry, and she is part of Ideal Chrissy's world.

Pinterest Anyone?

Open Letter to Fellow Bloggers and Followers:

Hope all is well with you.

I've recently "discovered" Pinterest, and I am rushing to submit my favorite DAF sites to my DAF boards there - DAF being "Doll and Action Figure" - would you mind if I posted a link to your DAF-related review? I had added Roville and Cherisdolls before the thought occurred to me that maybe I should ask permission first. Anyone else interested in having their URL linked to that site?

Thanks either way. Whether you say yay or nay.

Sincerely, Dana

P.S. This is a no strings request so you do not have to do more than grant permission.

Happy Birthday, Barbie!

Martha and the Moon Photo - Got It!

Behold! Character Options' Martha Jones from Doctor Who gazes up at the moon.

Yes, folks, that's my photo. And I captured the "moon" on film. How? I borrowed aneky43251's trick of using a computer screen for backdrop. In this case, the backdrop was the screen saver "Starfield." My shadeless lamp reflected against that screensaver. Cropped the photo to eliminate the screen frame. Ta da. The photographed result: the moon! I am pleased.
