Pachom to the rescue! In Pachom's Fashion Shoot, one of my Chris Miller boys tried on a pair of pants from a cute blouse and pants set for my girl dolls. A fit! I was so excited that I emailed Pachom. And she sent me 3 pairs! These boys have been wearing long lean jeans belonging to the Tonner guys (that's why Eddie shows up here to get his jeans back!) Their new pants are corduroy (soft!) so these boys are happy to see a little rain after a hot summer. And loose enough that they can sit down,...

In Dolltown, the little children have opportunities that real little humans can only imagine. Like having a Barbie around, with wings, and wish fulfillment talents.... Just ask! 8 photo loop...just click the pic or arrows...

I am happy to say that I ordered these cute little Spain-made dolls from The Paola Reina shop in Canada. And got great service even though the company was moving locations! My reasons for getting these dolls...I wanted Liu, the Asian doll. So cute. And I don't have a Paola Reina and their pictures are always very appealing. So, while I was ordering Liu, I was taken with the dollies' clothes. And I ended up putting Dasha in her winter coat in the cart, and adding the sweetest Halloween outfit,...

This week and last, there have been a lot clothes changes and wig changes here in Dolltown... It's a funny thing with dolls because there is no real reason to keep them the same, except that we want to. We become attached to the look of a doll. (OR, of course, if we want to leave them untouched and in their glass cases to keep up their perfection, or value. I forgot that. Sorry. And thanks to all the doll people from whom I received perfect dolls.) Some of the dolls I collect have rooted...

They came with names, most of them. Then I gave them names myself, when I got them, most of them. And some of them have had their names changed since then. For a variety of reasons. This is an Iplehouse "Tania" sculpt. You can find her by googling this name. You can choose her skin color, and levels of movement you want her to have, and her face-up, if you actually order her. And you can choose her hair and eyes once you have her. And those things can change the name you think she should have....

Okay, so it's not here yet. This photo is of my only doll from Africa. But I am very excited, because my youngest daughter was here today with her good friend, Lindsey. Lindsey is headed back to Togo, Africa, where she is a Recreation Director at a school there. I immediately recognized an opportunity and introduced Lindsey to a few of my dolls. Especially Silent Sam who is beloved here. But let's face it...not a lot of buddies from his home continent. Well, not any. And it worked! Seeing the...

I just finished writing about how dolls stay where you put them... But I admit I had a thought a while back, that one of these days I am going to find my dolls Somewhere Else. That they have synthed somehow and are making choices for themselves. Moving from room to room, partying, going for night walks under the full moon. And I will have lost the advantage of Total Control. Causing confusion. I thought it had happened already the other day, when I discovered 3 of my little dolly children in...

Except you don't have to feed them, or put out water all the time for them, or clean up after them with cute little bags you buy at the pet store.... Dolls are a lot quieter. And they stay where you put them. But on the similar side... You feel good when you look at them. They rely on you to look after them. Sometimes they need to be fixed. They look cute in clothes that they don't actually need. And they have personality...each one is different. Pets seem to communicate telepathically too,...
