Current Notes: Nothin' half a wine cooler can't fix...
Or at least encourage me to forget.
Still kind of recovering
from yesterday. Emotions are still riding high, but aren’t as raw as yesterday.
We all kind of slept a lot.
I got to hit Mal-Wart for a
bit, where I discovered it wasn’t just Target that was without any of the five
new-released series. M-W didn’t have any either, just another sea of 13 Wishes and some signature releases
hiding among them – saw a Rochelle and an Operetta in the mix. Ours even still
had a few of the remixed Sweet 1600 Black
Friday specials, but I already have what I wanted from that line. I’m starting
to think I shouldn’t even waste my time looking for new dolls ‘til they’re available
on Amazon at MSRP. And then I can just order them. It’s not that they sold out,
it’s that they’ve never had them around here. Ranks.
I did find an awesome set of
scrapbook papers – Vintage Treasures by
Colorbok, $5. for two sheets each of 25 designs. All of them are gorgeous !
There were other Colorbok paper stacks, I hope to look at them soon. I was so
sold on the one I got, I didn’t look around !
Got to play with my new
Pinkie Pie, and she is adorable. I confess, here and now, that her glittery
shirt reminds me of one I had, a fleecy sort of pink semi-sweatshirt with a silver-glittery
cat face on it. It was perfect for skating on cold days. Pinkie’s issue dress
reminds me so much of it, I had to have her. Memories are strange motivators. Now,
I’m semi-obsessed with making that shirt for a few of my dolls. First thing, go
buy some very fine glitter…
Just for fun, I tried Pinkie’s
second dress on Twyla. Knew it wouldn’t fit, it was tight even as a blouse.
Cute, though. Pinkie’s left elbow was a little hard to bend – it was even
difficult to see how it bent, and I was scared to death to break it. Her right
elbow was good to go, not stiff at all, so I used it to determine how to get
the left over that first hurdle. It’s easier now, but still noticeably stiffer
than the right one. Oh, how I wish Hasbro made a nice Luna doll like Pinkie and
the one they made for Celestia.
It also helped that Pinkie
came with a second outfit and shoes. One of the things that drove me crazy in
the early days of MH was their lack
of footwear ! Sure, if you bought all of the original six, you could do some
trading around, but I always wanted just a plain pair of basic FM black pumps. I
saw a shoe and purse pack in the Barbie aisle today, hanging next to the budget
carded clothes, and wished…(sigh) May have to borrow Dearest Son’s Twilight
Sparkle doll’s shoes, if I get going on making Pinkie some stuff. Hmm…he has
Celestia, too. I’ve forgotten what her shoes look like.
One thing I’ve never quite
understood about Equestria Girls dolls.
Not one of them have an outfit anything like what their characters wore in the
movie. There’s a new almost Jem-like
EG line coming out that gives the
Mane Six even crazier clothes. It’s called Rainbow
Rocks, and if early photos are accurate, Rainbow Dash looks like an extra
from the 80s Flash Gordon movie. I
kind of like it…
