Darkhaired Island Princess

Here is the darkhaired Island Princess that I bought at Walmart today. She was reduced to $7 just like Jane's blond version. 2 days ago she was $10 so I'm glad I waited. Although her head is larger than I prefer, she has a very sweet face. She seems to be about half an inch shorter than the usuall Barbie height. She also has the nicest hair I've seen from big M on a playline in a few years. I think she will pair up with Maxime Mann and Darla Baker will fall for the mysterious Gregory Whitsett. I will probably back off from my acquisition drive, but i did see an unopened Flava Tre whose face looks a bit different from the ones I have, so I might get him,too, at Family Dollar.

New Year's Ball (finally)

Couples are arriving at the ball. More pix on the Dolton blog later.

Mel's First Doll of 2008

I bought my first doll for 2008 yesterday. I was at Family Dollar to get cleaning supplies, and saw her on a shelf display right across the aisle from the checkout counter. She is a Pretty Flowers Christie. The series is from 5 years ago and and I really liked them then and bought the blond and redhaired Barbies but never saw Christie. She went right into my basket. I really like her, although I am being very uncreative and naming her Christie Flowers. She will help maintain the Melton rule that no doll is dateless on Saturday Night, LOL. She and Stanley James mke a great couple. I think I'll go over to Walmart later, if it warms up a bit, and see if they still have the blackhaired Island Princess on sale. I still have a dateless guy sitting all alone on my doll shelf . I have decided to designate said shelf Melton East for the time being, at least until I have the rest of my dolls back.

Anybody know what this doll is?

She's called a Mac Barbie.

Well I'm not a Millionaire *sigh*

We had Millionaire Raffle with the lottery this year. I was 3 numbers away from winning $1000. *sigh* Just as well I guess as I would only have spent it on dolls and there aren't any out there to buy anymore *bigger sigh* But I did win $14 on my other tickets. Big deal eh! LOL
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
It's snowing too!
