Happy Thanksgiving All

A PhillyCollector and the denizens of East Philly send wishes for a happy Thankgiving to those celebrating that holiday.

Sorry ... This is Just W-R-O-N-G ... Bratzillaz' Pet

I like it's name. I grant that the concept is "cute."

BUT

I have a cat so this strikes me as soooo wrong.





Where does it "eliminate?" And where is it's tail? Wrong, I say. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Two More Mattel Dolls ... Seen at Kmart

First, a "new" Mattel Ryan. Hey, is it just me or do they have different face molds? Neat.



And a new Skipper-Chelsea set. I like the concept and the face, but I still want the Walmart Disney Skipper. And does this new Skipper wear ugly clothes? (I think - yes!)

Delay on Come to My Window Photo Contest Voting

I have not forgotten the Come to My Window Halloween Photo Contest.

I am pulling together a page with all of the entries. I apologize to the participants for not mentioning this sooner: I have been using public computers so my online time is limited.

So the Photo Contest page is coming. Thanks to everyone for your patience with the delay. There will be a poll for readers to choose their choice.

Sincerely,
D7ana

Which 1 Direction Harry Do You Prefer?

Have you got your red box 1 Direction fashion dolls? You might want to make sure that you do, because new sets are coming. One set is called "The Video Collection". These same faces appear in a possibly "rare" "Singing Collection" set. I saw one of the Video dolls the other day in the Center City Kmart. Okay, the first Harry doll is not pretty, but OMG, is the second one fugly? Sorry. I don't think that the new Harry doll face is an improvement ... well, I will let the photo show what I mean.



I confess to being biased in favor of attractive dolls. Usually. Note, I did not type "pretty" or "beautiful," but "attractive." That covers a range that translates to something that I find appealing. I like the hair of the doll ... something about the plastic curls amuses me. And I like his beady eyes. And the outfit. But this new Harry doll - while having bigger eyes than the first doll - looks less like the young singer than the first version. This one reminds me of the actress Hilary Swank ... in drag. Or maybe her younger brother ....

Still, I might get the second doll for the outfit. I prefer the first outfit, but the second one would be a nice young man's shirt and pants. See the photo below of the two dressed Harrys.



In case you need to see the difference of the new box for the Video Collection, the new box is white instead of the bright red of the first collection. If only he wore the same outfit as the one worn by the singer on the box. (Sigh. Now that navy jacket would have been a great asset to my male doll wardrobe. Shrug. Alas. Not to be.)



What do you think of the two Harrys? Do you have a preference? Or do both set you heart tingling? (Note: neither makes any part of me tingle ... I'd just like to have additional young males for my playscale high school. The real singers are too young, too "callow" for me, lol.)
