Lies and falsehoods, Padfoot!

This post is more or less for my own reference, to keep track of my shifting desires. Feel free to ignore. :)


( Dolls & Things I Am Looking For: )



P.S. I may be getting into Ever After High, two years after I decided not to. Don't send help?

Happy Earth Day, everyone!

In celebration, please enjoy this photoshoot I did with Venus a few weeks ago.


( Take this as a preview of my next MH review. )


Answer to last Tuesday's song: Don't Come Around Here No More, by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. No one guessed this, but I chose it because the post was about Once Upon A Time in Wonderland, and this is the video for that song:

We watched Cowboys and Aliens last night. I was all set for super cheese and hammy acting and just general ridiculousness... and I was disappointed. It wasn't a bad movie, and the acting was all really solid, but everyone was taking everything so seriously in a movie called COWBOYS AND ALIENS. I was actually kind of bored by it, which is ridiculous because ALIENS and COWBOYS, and I feel like they missed the opportunity to really let everyone's crazy flag fly. But (minor spoiler) the guy who played the sheriff on Sleepy Hollow who got killed in the first episode was the first named character to die in this movie. I was like, "Apparently he's only allowed to be alive for a limited time."

I also accidentally bought a MH doll I never thought I'd want yesterday. Oops? It's hard to feel bad when she's so pretty though!





Answer to last Sunday's song: Come As You Are, by Nirvana. No one guessed this song, which I picked because last Sunday was when Seattle won the Superbowl, and Nirvana is from Seattle. Clever, yes?

I realized when I was talking about the Heath and Abbey two pack a little bit ago that I haven't actually done a review of Abbey, so I thought maybe I should do that before we get to the two pack.

( Here there be yetis! )


Song quote for tonight: And she's got a way of makin' a boy act like a clown!

Answer to last Thursday's song: Worried Man Blues, my version is by The Kingston Trio. No one guessed this.

Remember when I said I had exciting doll-related news on the horizon? (Warning, this got kind of long).

( Well, here it is! )

Song quote for today: It's plain to see we're over, and I hate when things are over, when so much is left undone.

Answer to last Sunday's song: Sweet Caroline, by Neil Diamond. No one guessed this. :(

Guys, I finally broke down.

For like, weeks, maybe even months, every time I've gone to Wal-Mart I have resisted buying this doll. I just didn't like the look of her, the color palette of her makeup wasn't my thing, I didn't need another cat... And yet, every time I would go and stare at her and think, "Someday, she's going to be impossible to find, and I'm going to suddenly change my mind about her and want her (like I did with Spectra) and not be able to find her and regret not buying her when she was plentiful and ARGH." So I finally just said fuck it and bought her.


Please enjoy my two Disney Animator dolls propping up my latest MH addition, Caterine DeMew.

I don't know, I guess I just couldn't talk myself out of her anymore. She's a new character! New characters are exciting! She is pretty, her art is gorgeous, and I really REALLY like her shoes (yeah, all right, so the shoes are totally what got me. Are you surprised? You shouldn't be). The colors have grown on me, and my family used to have an all white cat, so it was really just a matter of time.

I haven't opened her yet, but I wanted to ask: Do any of you have Caterine? What do you think? Do you like her? The one I got spoke to me, because she seems to have a softer look around her eyes than others I've seen. I think it's because of how her eyebrows are screened. (Andrew thinks I'm crazy, but I swear they're at a less severe angle than those of the other Caterines I've looked at.) Has anyone else noticed this, or am I actually, in fact, crazy?


Answer to last Tuesday's song: Boys of Summer, and the version I have is by the Ataris.

Here is my next review, finally! And this one is going to be a little different, ostensibly to celebrate my return to MH reviews, but mostly just because I feel like it.

Anyway, I had been reviewing my dolls in the rough order that I acquired them (as well as I can remember anyway) but I just bought Picture Day Cleo a few days ago with my Christmas money, and decided to break the pattern and review a new doll for a change. This review has quite a few more pictures than usual, jsyk.

( My first ever picture of a MH doll in a box! )

I'm watching HalloweenTown while I write this, so 
( what better time to do a werewolf review? )

Heh, I'm at the part of Halloweentown where they get hair from the totally straight, why do you ask werewolf hairdresser. I love this movie. I bet Marnie would fit right in with the MH kids.

So, I read a Livejournal community about bad service, but as far as I know there isn't an active one for good service... But I feel like these two stories need to be shared, so here they are!
