A doll as often as I get around to posting..... 2022-2023

Oh, cute Smart Doll dress!

Will the Mylings be spending the next few nights gathered around a glowing pumpkin to frighten off little interlopers so you can keep all the goodies for yourself?

I already stuck them all back in the curio cabinet with the other breakable dolls so - no.

I bought a Darla custom second hand. She got a bit of a makeover today.

It is much safer for her to have a toy rather than a live animal.

The makeover suits her well.

I agree, the "Pippi Longstocking" wig better suits the face up.

Thanks. I also gave her green eyes like Darla, and swapped her into a more appropriate outfit. (Darla is usually seen wearing a Rock and Roll Girl shirt).

She has a much larger fan base than I realised. Poor nemo! The sculpt on the teeth is pretty cool.

"I could have had a V8!"

And Little Miss Healthful is thinking, "And I coulda had a Slurpee!"

Cute, fun scene!

Well, I guess they could have a tomato-juice slurpee...

Yuck.

But look at this cute bee container!

She and the container are both very cute.

Design like an old-fashioned syrup container, but shaped like a mustard squeeze tube. Mustard-flavored syrup? That sounds worse than a tomato flavored Slurpee!

it's apparently a well known Canadian brand of honey.

Huh.  I thought Billy Bee was everywhere.
Never saw that container though.  Seems to be uncommon but apparently it exists.
Used to buy Billy Bee till I found some folks on the mainland selling raw from their own hives.

What's a V8? Here it's a fry up cafe. The tiny honey is very sweet and her lilac mohair wig looks incredibly soft!

She does have a lovely mohair wig.

V8 is a drink that contains 8 vegetables? I think? It's pretty tasty if you get the salty kind. The low salt version is undrinkable.

Oh, and "I could have had a V8!" is the catchphrase in their commercials.

"Raisins? I don't even like raisins!" "C'mon, they're delicious in oatmeal - and oatmeal cookies!"

This is NOT my photo. I took it from an ebay listing. It made me laugh because it looks like she is about to tell us a scary story before a serial killer gets us all.

Don't all Dals look like that? Or is it mostly just Tezca?
Blythes, too, for that matter. All Blythes. All the time.

Haha, yes they do!! Call me a dolly heathen but I will never understand the prices for Blythes with shiny faces, no eyebrows and minimal articulation.
That said, I've seen a few customs that were really cute and I would have them in my collection.

...or maybe she's already frozen stiff from hearing the scary story!!
...and, it's a Dal... did you buy her??

Haha, I didn't buy her. I already have her.

This leads me to an interesting question. Are there any Dals you haven't managed to add to your collection and who do you consider your grail?

Hmm.
Well.
I actually have at least two of every officially released Dal. I even commissioned a Stepsister Dal when she was cancelled.
