Wanted to give y'all an update regarding my Velvet fixation. Um, I won three of them on eBay, four of them if you count the 1982 Crissy that used the Velvet sculpt. I know, I know. I placed bids, not expecting to win them all. Indeed, one only went for $9.99! So, I'll scavenge the best of the best and re-sell what's left over.
Balvennie, thanks for the advice regarding sewing for Velvet. It might be a worthwhile endeavor; I've even got some colorful, Mod-looking fabrics whose patterns are too big for Tyler et al.
V, yeah, I wanted roller skates too! I had the kind that strapped onto my street shoes, but I wanted ones with pretty white boots like what ice skaters wear. Never got those. But I've got blades now, and I love them. If you take up roller skating or blading, though, be careful. I broke my tailbone my first trek out on the blades. Ouchy.
Today in Anglish class we had to get into little groups to discuss some crap, and one of the gals there totally pissed me off with her blow-ass little self. That's what turns me off about being an English major, a creative writing major. No likely that crowd.
Awright gang, I'm going home. [Wonder if any of my Velvets have been delivered yet?]

Them dolls is addictive, I say! If only they weren't so gawsh darn BIG. I currently have no place to display mine which I find a bit frustrating. I haunted all the trift stores and ancient fabric stores in Toronto whilst I lived there and built up a nice little stash of totally wicked 70's-type fabrics. Once I get about 5-6 other projects out of the way, I'll get back to sewing for my dollies.
I heard a good strategy is to find old clothes at thrift stores and use the fabric from those ... thanks for reminding me!
