People were complaining that it looked too cheap, and the almost-all-red gems were really bad looking. I thought, if anyone could fix it up with a few specialized paint techniques, it would be you guys! So if you do head for WDW and purchase one to "improve," I totally want partial credit for the idea! :-) Cheers, Dianedlindachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11113446241728428042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-63558241372988968122015-01-25T10:37:54.353-05:002015-01-25T10:37:54.353-05:00For fun music check out the Double Clicks videos o...For fun music check out the Double Clicks videos on you tube.

So far I've snorkelled with manatees in Homosassa River, seen a rocket launch at Cape Canaveral (which was AWESOME), eaten the best burger ever in Miami, and bought SUPER FLUFFY Batman pyjama trousers at Walmart. Tomorrow we're hitting the Universal parks, and on Monday we're going to the Magic Kingdom (we figured it might be slightly less crowded on a weekday? ). <br /><br />I'm hoping I'll be able to convince the family that a visit to Artegon is a good idea, and I still want to visit a comic book store. I'm not super excited about going back to the frozen north (Sweden) next week...

I am amazed at how much better the smaller eyes, lower eyebrows and smaller lips fit the structure of the face.

Even when I was young enough to (by societies standards) actually play with them I never liked them. It makes me happy to see someone make something realistic, and innocent. That is what really catches me i guess. People push and push and push girls specifically to grow up be beautiful use your beauty to advance etc etc all the crap we already know happens and the innocence of play and being a girl and being a child is taken away far too soon. I am all for letting kids be kids gender norms aside from dolls to dump trucks let everyone play with what they will and let that innocence stay intact for just a while longer.. *sigh*<br />So that was a long ramble on my soap box. :) I really enjoy your fun finds posts they make me happy.. though they may give me a delusion of grandeur when I go over to intructables and think "I can totes do that!!".. no.. no I can't Lol.
