Hello my friends 
Real life has been hectic (mostly of the work kind) and I haven’t had a proper chance to add a post of which I have many still sitting in my mind as is usual…
I have requested an email interview with Stacy McBride Irby – she has said yes – so now I have to start putting together some questions to ask her! Feel free to help me out with suggestions! So far, I am hoping to ask her about getting into toy design, her early influences and the SiS dolls… particularly the hair and fashions.
And hmmm… seriously, I’m actually thinking about work so eeks… brain not good for dolly or sociological stuffs at the moment, so onto the brag part of the post…
I did make a consumerist splurge recently… it was on lipsticks though hehehe
Barbie, MAC and BLACK!
Also finally picked up some dolls I’d purchased off another collector that I’m slowly cataloging…
Nichelle - Beach Dazzle - 1991
Asha - Beach Streak - 1992
Kira - Tropical Splash - 1994
Kayla - Amazing Nails - 2001
Barbie 2003
Kwanzaa Barbie - 2006
Love that little floral peasant top… it fits both the busty TnT bodies and the slimmer belly button bodies 
I am hoping to pick up sculpting (or at least drawing) again if I ever find any extra time >_<
Work will continue to be neverending for the next few weeks definitely… so… *sigh*

Congratulations on the e-mail interview, Therese! Sounds fun and exciting. Looking forward to reading it.
I’d like to know about upcoming SiS dolls and whether they plan to make more than one guy for the series. What’s her response to the hair texture and eye color fracas (fracaes)? Questions you would probably ask ;-D
Oh and congratulations on your new and lovely purchases.

Thanks Margaret! Now I just need to get those questions ready!
Debbie, Dana & Nicole – I’ve received an email requesting an interview from NEWSRADIO 740 KTRH (Texas) looking for opinions on SiS dolls… I have recommended you ladies to this guy as I’m stuck at work right now and I’m not based in the USA (or similar timezone)!
