UFDC Membership?

Are any of you members of UFDC?

Why? I never thought that the Federation had much for Barbie and other playscale figures. Possibly that is an outdated idea.

Webshots Becomes Smile - And I Wanna Cry!

Remember all my lovely links to Webshot photos ... well, you won't be able to click on them to see stuff. No. Webshots has become Smile. And I am doing anything BUT smile.


Okay, I am a little behind on reading my email messages. But no where did I find any messages about Webshots becoming Smile and taking MY photos away from me. How? I cannot access my account. Great gusty sigh. I have to investigate this PROBLEM, but my Webshots account does not work. They do not recognize my e-mail address. My brown eyes are going blue, blue, blue.


But I will find out what happened and update you all.


Update: my photos were not removed before December 31, 2012. So they are gone. Forever.

Have to put on my grown-up face, grit my teeth, and regroup. It isn't my life. No one has died. Breathe in, breathe out. Life goes on. Cleared some typos in this post. Deep breaths again.

Kenya Christmas Doll 2012



Kenya was the Christmas doll for 2012. Here she is beside one of the Christmas trees. She did not approve of the tree decorating. The bells were too big. Shrug.

Twilight 2013 Dolls Seen at Walmart



Note: Esme uses the old Teresa head sculpt. Carlisle and Emmett use Ken molds.

New in 2013 ... Taller Bratz by MGA Entertainment

Happy New Year, all!

It's 2013 and guess who's grown a few inches? You guessed it - the Bratz girls. I visited a Target store and saw an Xpress It Sasha. Here she is.


I did not compare her with any of the nearby Barbies, but here's a link where Bratzboulevard mentions the new Bratz Xpress It doll height - with a comparison photo. Are you thinking about the rebodying aspects? I am. Then again, Bratz Xpress It dolls have click bend knees instead of articulated ones. [And the legs are not so very shapely ...] So maybe not ... until I see someone else do it successfully, lol.

Additional Bratz news or Bratzillaz' news ... the Midnight Beach Bratzillaz are out. They glow in the dark. Impressed? Not me. Shrug. Anyway, these three were available at a Philadelphia Target:



Cloetta




Sashabella




Yasmina


I am thinking that I will pass on these lighten-up beach bunnies. I might buy one of the Xpress It dolls though. Might.
