Milestone Today

Twenty Nine years ago today I bought my first Barbie doll. She is named Suzanne Holly Robinson. I have made her the town historian, and rightly so since she is the first resident. Her husband Glen Ritchie was the first Ken I ever bought. He is doll #7 As you may recall Glen owns the furniture store in Dolton. And so history was started. Little did know the population of Dolton would be in the thousands litterally. As of this week it reached 2651. Now that does not count the dolls in my cabinets, the NFRB dolls, the Silkstones, and the Loftonians, who btw will be getting a new resident today. Nor does it count all the kid dolls like Kelly and Tommy, Mikey, Krissy and the no name brands too. That's why when I say I have over 3000 dolls in my collection, well I do!

As I mentioned above I am getting another resident for Lofton. Soon as I finish my coffee I'm off to MFD to pick her up.

Well I'm back and here she is. It's rare that MFD makes a mistake but I ended up with this Tyler doll instead of the Honey Antoinette that I ordered. But that is okay I will keep her anyway.  I will or rather have already ordered the Honey Antoinette who will be named appropriately, Honey. This gal I haven't decided what to call her as she was unexpected. But boy doesn't she look like Sam from my story. Most likely the same doll. Anyway this gal comes with 3 wigs. Nice thing is there is velcro attached to her bald scalp and inside the wigs for a secure fit. Here's a few pix of her and her different looks. Funny how a different hair do and colour changes your look so much. Maybe I should give it a try for myself. LOL

At first I thought this was a short haired wig. But when I took her out of the box....

I realized it was long hair....I love the colour. You can't see it in this photo but it has a blue tinge and you know how I love blue hair LOL

Here she is with auburn hair. This was always my favourite colour in hair, maybe cos it was (very long ago) my natural colour.

And lastly is this bob or very short hair do. I don't like the colour on Tyler as I don't think it suits her. And I am not fond of short hair anyway. Makes her look butch, don't you think?  And yes I have it on right, cos the velcro dots match.

You won't be seeing her wearing this one anymore. Hmmm I wonder if it will fit a guy. LOL

Time now to go and get my lottery tickets for the day. I play everyday actually. I won two days in a row playing my population #'s. So now that one of them has changed, we'll see if my luck continues.

Hope you are all having a great weekend.
