It's a brand of action figures I believe--the WWII ones are usually 12" tall.
There's a whole group of people who remove the factory paint and repaint the faces to look more realistic, create more authentic outfits for the characters, etc. People use different dolls/action figures as the...
I know, you and me both! Wish I would have found out about the sale sooner (although I don't really have money to spend right now anyway; maybe it's a blessing in disguise?).
Oh, I'm a sucker for happy endings! Congratulations Samsa!
That's quite a vote of approval from her father--good for you for going the traditional route and asking him too. I love it that your brother will be the officiant. Are you needling him? "No pressure or anything, but if you...
Thanks Trixie and Mojito. Next time I go out I'll take a picture of me wearing the coat and hat (today's my first day of vacation so I'm lying low--tomorrow I have plans though). I wish $ally and I could take a picture together too!
Another great one--I think my favorite episode in that one is with Lucy the pig and the blacking brush.
I just finished The Star Machine by Jeanine Basinger. Although I think she could have cut the last chapter about stardom after the machine I'd still highly recommend the book. I...
I love hearing more about the experience behind the picture; if you can find the other one please post it, I'd love to see it. Also, you know, it occurs to me that I've never been inside Radio City. Criminal! Clearly, a trip must be made!

By popular demand, my 40's wool coat trimmed with fake persian lamb. It has padded shoulders and slash pockets in the front. The "fur" is worn away at the edges in some places, I need to blacken the underfabric so it's not as visible. It's surprisingly warm:

Very 50's to me--secretary chic! Love the color and the tie at the throat. Please post pictures of you wearing it when it arrives. That goes for you too Bella and Pink (that alpha print is fab!)
Fleur--I like this photographer's work (especially gallery 3 on his website) but he should get these pictures of you posted there tout de suite; they blow every other photo with people on his website away (in my opinion).
