chillin'Now Playing: a quiet, sleepy house
Kind of a ‘not much' day. Got fabric ready to fix five pair of Dearest Son's pants - he's very hard on clothing knees - tomorrow. I'm not kidding m'self, I'll be lucky to get one fixed ! Also cleaned the new dolls. What I did yesterday was just sort of dusting ‘em off. Today, I really got into it. Ironically, even the wrecked-head Casey's hair looks better now.
Still not sure what I'm gonna do with which. I can swap out the Ballerina Barbie body for the belly-button one now on Joy, and put the Casey head on the belly-button one. Sorry, but she really looks weird on the #6/Swirl body. Looks like I'll have a spare head (the smaller Malibu) and a spare body (#6) that don't even come close to matching. I could have just swapped ‘em at the flea market, there was no seller there, and no one would have even known what I was doing. Plus, it'd have been easy. Back in the day, vintage dolls didn't have the safety features of more modern ones. Namely the bane of many doll customizers, the pronged neck post. Up through the 70s, Barbies were actually *made* and packaged for head-swaps. One of my favorite vintage/mods was the ‘Hair Fair', mostly a Barbie head with hairpieces and wigs. No body, just a head. I'd love to find one.
But all that fussin' and shufflin' would have saved me a big, whoppin' $1. Not worth it. I'd feel as though I were cheating, and if I'd be ashamed to do it in front of the seller, I shouldn't do it behind his/her back. I'm sure I'll eventually find a use for the Malibu head and the #6 body. There's never any telling what crosses my meandering path next !
For most of the day, we all sat around, munchin' on pizza and corn chips, just enjoying a lazy, loose day. BTW, A Night At The Museum is actually quite good ! Worth at least a one-night rental at a RedBox near you !
