Her Name Was Lola
I was toying with the idea of giving Barbie her own Facebook page, with updates and photos and everything. But there are already at least 4 people who have done that already. JERKS!
I mean, I'm sure MY Barbara Millicent Roberts Facebook page would be the COOLEST Barbie page of all, but I hate the thought that it's not original.
But I still like the concept. So I looked around my office.
Holly Hobbie page? She only has one outfit, and she's just not very interesting. Although she's easily portable in one's purse, which plays in her favor.
Ginny? Nah. Who besides old people, me and Joe know who Ginny is?
Orange Dala Horse? Storybook dolls? Wooden soldier? Raggedy Anne?
Hmmm, Raggedy Anne... I don't know. She was my Mom's, and I'd be so scared something would happen to her.
Gene Marshall page? Probably already out there. Also? She's annoying as hell to redress.
Tiny Kitty Collier? Too expensive, only one outfit (so far).
Christmas moose? Teddy bear? Honey Hill Bunch kids?
My God, I have a lot of gay stuff.
Okay, Honey Hill Bunch kids have appeal. They're portable, there are several kids, which provides versatility, and I have two of each, so if one gets eaten by a bear -- who cares!
(Okay, you guys? As I was copying and pasting the URLs for the Honey Hill Bunch links, I had a HUGE sense of deja vu. I have never felt like more of a loser. Who in the WORLD has reason to TWICE link to the Honey Hill Bunch?!?!)
I also have other random Barbie-scale oddities that could make appearances with them. Like Joey from "Blossom," Barbie's afghan hound (seriously) and The Sunshine Family.
Dare I?
Oh my God, the more I look around my house for possibilities, the more I wonder why the hell Husband puts up with me, and why no one has had me committed.
In my defense, this trio belonged to my Gramma O.
Hee! Goat! See the little troll on the right? He used to live at Billi's house, but she had to give him to me because The Boy Child is petrified of him. In fact, when he comes to my house, he has to watch me lock the troll in my car before he can feel entirely safe.
Or, since I'm being a huge dorkus, should I stick with something run-of-the-mill like my Beanie Baby puppies?
Of course, there's also my Lola Monster. I GUARANTEE that there's no other Lola Monster out there.
What do you guys think? And I'm looking for an answer other than, "I think you have too much damn time on your hands, you freak."
You know, the more I look at the goat, he's really photogenic...

While I think Lola is fabulous with her dress cut down to there....I don't think she has the versatility the Honey Hill Bunch has.
There's no WAY the three creepy things would live in my house, that old man is straight out of a horror movie.
Question for you, would having a three foot doll made to look like your dead mother dressed in her wedding dress and placed in a large glass cabinet be creepy to you or sentimental?
