Since COMIC CON has inspired me this weekend ...

Image
My inspiration...WONDER WOMAN & VIXEN in front of a JUSTICE LEAGUE  poster Of course, I took a few liberties. But the inspiration is there...so I might have to rename them*-* I had to cut her long hair, but it so makes the character. She wasn't a "super hero" I was familiar with, but I wanted an African American woman to go w/Wonder Woman and Vixen just jumped out at me from the see of other female and Black males who have been in the comics, but are seldom seen in the main stream. There is a lot of info on Vixen @ Wiki so check it out.*.* Publication history   [ edit ] Vixen was one of the first  African American  female DC superheroes to star in her own series, but the first issue of her series was canceled in the  DC Implosion in 1978, never to be released. The story was subsequently printed in  Cancelled Comic Cavalcade . Since her debut in  Action Comics,  she has primarily appeared in team books, most notably various incarnations of the  Justi

Found this guy for $1.99

Prince Aidan from " The Magic of Pegasus " Barbie series. circa 2005 He also came if African American, wish I could find him in a thrift store:-) saw him ( the AA) on ebay NIB for $45.00 yikes*o* Face comparison. I like his turned up nose:-) fully articulated, his joints are really loose and his face was very dirt, at least some one had played w/him before he ended up in the thrift store  wearing only his jacket;-)

Still searching for doll stands

This was was on clearance @ MICHAEL'S for $1.99. It has a nice wooded base and says it is for 11 inch dolls. Good scale, bad fit...but usable I bought this one a few years ago because the metal part seemed small enough. But is way too short.. She can stand w/it around her legs, especially if she wears a longer dress. Then you can't tell how small the stand is.

For the past 2 years my youngest son has been going to COMIC CON in full "Flash" custom. So i do what I can to help him realize his vision of his favorite super hero. This year it's "black" "Flash". He designed this mask and I'm just the fabricator *,* Just something fun to do w/my baby-he just turned 27:-)

Thrift store finds...

No real bargains, just dolls I liked, so I bought them. Funny how "retail therapy" works*o* 3 MY SCENE dolls. another "Chelsea", "Bryant" and I don't know if this is "Nolee" Or "Delancy" Why is he sooo tall? they all had on clothing , Chelsea #2 also has on cute red shoes that will look cute w/ her friend's short denim dress. This girl is just old school gorgeous and had on yet another princess dress. I don't know who she is, but I couldn't resist her hair and she was only $2. I'm just going to wash and condition it , and pull it up in a rubber-band. She has to wear something fab-u-lous , so I gotta think about it for a bit. Cute face, lipstick has got to go. I'm thinking I'll put her in the above princess dress and let her join the grand babies'  collection. She loved that last batch of dresses. Especially since I had to sneak them in-nothing for the boys...I know "bad

He's just not that into you...

All packed and ready to go... "what are you thinking about?" "those trunks look heavy. did you carry them here by yourself?" "I'm sorry, what did you say? I was distracted by your trunks." "Kiss me, you're just being silly. Don't think of anything but me and our wedding" "wedding???what wedding??? "

Aren't these teens supposed to be in school...

Quick Question...

I'm finally going to treat my "collection" to some doll stands. I want to start w/around 30, but I don't know the best way to go about buying that many. If you have any trusted/favorite E-BAY or ETSY  vendors, or any others for that matter-please share. I'm really trying to improve my displays, photos etc and I think that might be a good way to start. Thanks in advance for all of the input. nyw *.*

I'm suppose to be looking for a new job, but I spent my weekend making little books...so much more fun. I used some "printables" first, then just I painted and bound cardboard to make volumes, I like those much better. When you gotta go, ya gotta look cute :-) this was going to be a corset, but oh so tiny; and the "obi" sash worked pretty good.

Looks like Crazy Prom:-)
