the gangs all here!


Me:  A great time was had by all!  We shall be doing this again.  I'll try to get some pics of the other girls when the weather gets better.  toodles!

Doll Talk II

Me:  Finally got some rest - whoo was I tired!  All that walking...even though it was good exercise.  We stopped at toys r us, I was hoping to get some outfits from Teen Trends.  They didn't have any, but I was able to purchase two outfits and two wigs for my Moxie Teenz at sale prices!!  Woo hoo!  Anyway, here's the girls.....

Eva:  Mom took lots of pictures of me.  I did look nice in the outfit she bought for me.  Everyone loved my jewelry!  (Thanks Mom!)

And no, I'm not getting a big head!!  My name is not Antoinette! (giggle)


Fatima:  I didn't say anything!  tee hee hee  I'm just happy we finally went out.  I overheard the other adults saying that they were going home.  For a minute there I thought uh oh no pictures?  Wah!

Paris:  You're so funny!  I knew Mom wasn't ready to go home.  Taking pics in the restaurant is not her style.  I know that when the weather gets nice again, we're going to the park by Mom's job.

Fatima:  How do you know?  You haven't been here long enough to know that.

Paris:  Well, I don't have to be here long to understand the workings of our mother's mind!  Especially when it comes to us dolls!

Liz:  Well I'm glad Mom was able to FINALLY take pictures of us in our new outfits!!  I think my hair was beginning to come undone from lying around in that bag of hers.




Angel:  Well, I'm glad too that mom was able to take pictures of all of us.  Uh, where's Diane?  Diane!?!

Diane:  Huh?  Here I am!  I'm just very quiet...trying to relax and give mom some time to get our pictures posted. 

Angel:  Oh, okay.  I know mom's planning on getting you some nice outfits that fit.  Mom definitely has good taste when it comes for clothing for us.

Diane:  I noticed that mom only took a few pictures of the other dolls.  I guess she's over the love of the little dolls.

Fatima:  How do YOU know this?  You haven't been here long either?!

Angel:  Fatima, calm down please.  We heard mom talking about them.  She tells all her friends that she's no longer interested in playing with those dolls anymore.  Although she still has a few,  they're still in their boxes and are not coming out.  A doll collector/lover like our mom NEVER forgets the dolls that started it all.

Fatima:  Oh, okay.  You are so right Angel.  I guess there's nothing wrong with supporting other's love of their dolls.  I gotcha!  (whispering..she hasn't been here long either.  How does she know all that?)

Eva:  Fatima, you should know this yourself.  Haven't you been listening to the other dolls?  The ones who've been here the longest?  When everybody's busy fussing, I listen.  That's a collector's world.  There's always the FIRST doll who starts everything for all of us to exist.  I know that Mom still has love for Barbie and always will.  That's how we stay in...in memories.  And happy memories at that.

Fatima:  Wow!  Alright, let me stop fussin! LOL!

Me:  I'm sorry, I'm so pooped.  I'll have to let you'all talk tomorrow after I get some rest.

Dolly Outing

It's been some time since my last post.  Later on we're going out.  So the ladies who haven't been out yet to these outings are:  Paris, Diane, Lily, Liz, Angel and Eva.  Unfortunately, my camera was left at work so now I have to depend on my old Sony.  Wah!  Maybe I can buy one of those disposable cameras.  Sheesh!  Oh, well.  Whatever pics I don't take will have to wait for another outing later in the summer months.  Until then.....

Dolly Talk

Lara:  Did you hear everyone's comments about us?  It felt wonderful to finally get out the house!    Mom really surprised her co-workers by showing us off.  They loved us!  What a feeling!

Antoinette:  I don't know why she kept calling me the spoiled brat...I'm not spoiled!!

Lana:  (shaking her head) addressing Lara:  Did you hear what the spoiled brat had to say?  You think she'd be happy that she got out the house!!  I can't wait to go back.  I know mom was thinking about what we were going to wear next, I'm so excited!!

Camille:  I had a great time being out and having people admire me!  What a feeling!  Woo hoo!

Jacqueline:  I missed going out.  I hope I get to go out again.  Maybe we'll leave the men at home and it'll be just us girls!

Me:  Well, that sounds like a great idea - only I'm thinking about just bringing the men out and leaving the ladies at home.  The guys need to get out more and get some playing time too!

All the older ladies stare at me with their mouths hanging open!!  LOL!

Jeremy:  I kind of like the way you think mom.  These ladies get too much play.  Now it's our time!

Will and Russell:  huh?  hmmm.  (they give each other a high five)  Yep, it's our turn!  Ladies you stay home and we'll go out. 

Me:  You know, I do owe you guys your own photo shoot.  Funny, I never thought about that.  Okay, soon as I get off this computer I'm going to take some pics of the three of you. 

Antoinette:  Wha?!?  What about me?

Me:  Excuse me, but I think you've had enough pictures taken of you to last a lifetime.  Remember, everybody gets a photo shoot.  I'm sorry fellas, you got left out and that will not happen again.  Let me get your outfits ready.  Lata!

Visiting at work

I have been feeling so great 'cause I've been bringing my dolls to work with me!  They've gotten so many compliments!  It does a dolly mom good!  :D  My co-workers remember me from my Barbie days and now will know me for the bigger people! LOL!  So, without further ado, here's some pics!  More later next week as I will have to figure out who's coming next and what they'll wear.
