Painted in 1999 with Hybrid and Intel in the capital city. Freestyle. Not much of a story, just the guys came into town and we got down and dirty and rocked. I was really getting into trying to cut my outlines real thin at this time or completely eliminate them all together. It was a style that I had picked up on from when I went to New York in 1998 with Heat. I saw some of the FX writers pieces in their productions and saw that they were cutting their outlines real thin and thought I would give it a shot. I did it for a little while and liked the look of my pieces at the time. Occasionally, I still do that with my pieces if I have enough time and don't get bored with the piece I'm working on. Also, I was trying to match styles in this piece with Hybrid but having my own take on something he was doing. At the time, he was studying letters from other languages. This had ideas influenced from Arabic letter forms. All in all, it was a good day. Funny thing about this piece is that Viper had said to me about a year ago that he really remembered this piece and that he thought I should try to get back to this type of style. That was always funny to me and this style always kind of reminded him and myself of some of the mid to later 2000's MSK styles. Which are dope and I enjoyed the compliment. I just don't think I have the patience anymore to do some of the styles that involve a lot of cutting. I don't know.......... Maybe on a legal wall. We'll just have to see what this year brings!
Also, Viper said that he thought that my E's reminded him of a witches nose. I guess I can actually see that comparison with this piece. Hopefully, it's a wicked witch! haha

PERSONAL FUN FACT: When I first began collecting dolls again after a several year hiatus, this airplane was among one of the first playsets I got. Dad found this and the 70s Friend Ship at an outdoor flea market. He got both planes and a camping stove for himself, all for ten dollars. I know growing up, I always wanted this airplane. I think I probably would've enjoyed the 70s plane more though, because it has less restricting features. By that point I already had one Friend Ship (which was also ironically part of a bundle deal, but with my 1964 Barbie's New Dream House). Of course, the fact that this plane is more detailed and sturdy would have lent itself very useful too. I bet my sister and I would have used the Friend Ships as regular passenger planes, but this 1999 one would have been for first class flights. This was one of the filthiest things I'd ever encountered when Dad bought it for me all those years ago. It was coated in years of grime, and had things like pine needles inside. I also recall that it was taped up awkwardly when we first happened upon it at the flea market. The wings won't stay flipped upright on their own. This makes storing the plane or carrying it around very awkward. So the seller had taped them up. There was a bunch of thick residue from the tape all around the belly of the plane. I sat in the living room for at least an hour trying to scrub this clean. Nowadays I'd probably have a more effective method to get rid of the dirt. It is discolored with age--you can see that the blue isn't so pretty anymore. It was already like this back in 2011, and fortunately the discoloration hasn't progressed further. This plane is very impressive to look at visually, even if the tiny cabin space is less conducive to play (compared to the 1970s Friend Ship). I especially adore the sticker choice--the little faces in the windows, the flowers that curl around the sides, and of course Barbie herself on the tail! I recall that one of the reasons I wanted this plane growing up was because I had Pilot Barbie. Mom picked her out for me as a Christmas gift in 1999 (she was a surprise doll, unlike Generation Girl Tori whom I'd asked for specifically). I never did have a plane for Patty, aka Pilot Barbie, to fly. That's probably why I don't recall ever making any of my dolls pilots..

Prentis Hancock (Paul Morrow)
PRENTIS HANCOCK (Controller Paul Morrow)
Prentis Hancock was born and bred in Glasgow, and studied architecture at college. A keen sportsman, he played rugby and was a fencing instructor, but got the bug for acting and directing after joining an amateur theatre company. This led to him attending the Rose Bruford College of Speech and Drama.
Many television roles followed, including Z Cars, Dixon of Dock Green, Softly Softly, Doctor Finley's Casebook, The Last of The Mohicans, Paul Temple, Spy Trap and Colditz. He also appeared in The Protectors alongside Robert Vaughn, and several Doctor Who episodes: "Spearhead From Space," "Planet of The Daleks," "Planet Of Evil," and "The Ribos Operation."
It was for his role as Main Mission Controller Paul Morrow in Space: 1999 that Hancock is probably best known. He was featured in 23 of the 24 episodes of the first series ("The Infernal Machine" being the exception). Having worked with Gerry and Sylvia Anderson before, he was offered the role without having to audition, and was only the fourth cast member (after Martin Landau, Barbara Bain and Barry Morse) to be signed up to the production.
Since his stint in Space 1999 he has appeared in episodes of The New Avengers, Survivors, Bergerac, Danger UXB, Bulman, Secret Army, Return of The Saint, Armchair Thriller, The Famous Five, Life and Death of Penelope, Bodyguards, Kappatoo, Staying Alive, Finney, Civvies, The Chief, and The Bill. He co-starred in the spooky ITV series Chocky's Children and Chocky's Challenge, and is one of the only actors to have featured in both The Professionals and its revival, CI5: The New Professionals.
Hancock has also appeared in the television movies Lime Street, Hitler’s SS: Portrait in Evil, Kim, Jekyll and Hyde, the mini-series King Jamie and the Angel, the 1978 big screen version of The 39 Steps, The Monster Club and Defence Of The Realm.
Recent theatre work has included The Cut, Pygmalion, Terra Nova, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, Best of Friends, The Last Tram, My Blue Heaven, and Striking Silence. Hancock adapted and starred in the one-man show Voltaire's Candide which premiered at the Edinburgh festival in 2008, and he performed it again in London in October 2008 and April 2009.
As an author, Hancock has penned two children's books Hotshot: A Chilling Tale and Hotshot: Another Chilling Tale, both illustrated by Phillip Flockhart.

CHRISTOPHER PENFOLD (Story Editor/Writer)
One of the key architects of Space: 1999, Christopher Penfold was born in Bristol, in the Southwest of England, and educated at the esteemed Cambridge University before relocating down-under to work for “aunty,” the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It was in Australia that Penfold, working for the ABC as a television and radio writer/producer, would first work with an up-coming actor, Nick Tate, with whom he would later work on Space: 1999.
After three years, Penfold returned to the United Kingdom and turned his attention to documentaries before signing on as lead writer and story editor for Pathfinders, an ITV drama that followed the elite Pathfinder Force who located and marked targets for RAF Bomber Command. Always interested in very human drama, Penfold envisioned that series focusing on the immense pressure on aircrews who courageously and knowingly faced the enemy with very little chance of survival.
It was while working at Elstree Studios on Pathfinders that Penfold met Gerry Anderson, then working on The Protectors and, after a brief stint writing the Cliff Richard film Take Me High, Penfold joined Anderson in developing the 2nd series of UFO. Once it was determined that the moon of UFO would break out of Earth orbit, however, it was clear that a new show was being born...Space: 1999.
Penfold worked closely with Anderson and American writer George Bellak to develop the series and became responsible for shepherding the show into production, supervising scripts, and hiring writers, one an Irish poet named Johnny Byrne. Together the two would create the mystical, mythical feel of the first series.
After Penfold’s departure from 1999, he went on to write for the series Kids before creating for Thames Television the prescient 10 part series The Brack Report, set in the high pressure world of nuclear power and alternative renewable energy technologies. In the mid 1980s he wrote for the second series of the BBC sci-fi series The Tripods, based on John Christopher’s then popular novels, and later served as script editor and writer on Truckers, Casualty, One by One and the wildly successful All Creatures Great and Small where he was re-united with his co-writer, Johnny Byrne. He then wrote numerous episodes of Britain’s top soap, EastEnders, and either wrote or script edited over a hundred episodes of the long-running hit, The Bill.
In 1998, Penfold set up ScriptWorks, a script production company through which he helped develop a number of feature films including ITV’s The Last Musketeer, John Deery’s debut Conspiracy of Silence, Saul Metzstein’s first film, Late Night Shopping, Kevin Sampson's Awaydays and the Nicole Kidman feature Birth. Since then he has served as script editor/consultant on the smash hit series Midsomer Murders, now in its 15th season and nearing its record breaking hundredth feature-length episode.

HEAD MOLD: 1998 "Generation Girl"
PERSONAL FUN FACT: One day in early 2003, Dad took my sister and me to the KB Toys located in our mall. I saw a Travel in Style Barbie while we were there. I fell in love with her gorgeous face and hairstyle. Even though there was an African American version available that day, I opted to get the blonde doll which was rather unusual for me. I was so captivated by the blonde, I decided to get her. Plus, I thought she came with a bunch of goodies--extra outfits, shoes, and accessories! I still remember counting out exactly twelve dollars in change for her. Sometimes Dad would let us take all his change to pay for toys (not that he didn't buy us stuff with cash too). I named my Travel in Style doll "Heidi" and ever since that day, she was one of my favorites. Since my previous favorite doll, 2001 Sparkling Jasmine, was starting to show her age from so much play, it was great that I found another doll to shower with affection. Plus, Heidi was on the 1999 body mold, which fit more of the fashions that were currently sold in stores. She could properly wear all those awesome outfits that I struggled to use on Jasmine. However, not long after getting her, I made the STUPID decision to cut her hair off. It was an incredibly impulsive act that I regretted immediately. I recall being seized by the random desire to hack off her tresses after seeing a stylish blonde bob on an actress while watching t.v. I vividly remember pulling Heidi out of the drawer she was kept in and taking her into the bathroom for the haircut. Heidi's long, beautiful, platinum hair was no longer. I cried about the whole ordeal even though it was my own fault. Dad felt so bad for me, that he took me out shopping for a new Travel in Style Barbie. However she was nowhere to be found. She had already been out of date when I first found her at KB Toys. In those few months, she had entirely vanished from all our local stores, including other KB Toys locations. Since there was nothing else Dad could do, he very kindly bought me a Travel in Style Barbie off eBay. This doll in the photo is "Heidi #2." She came from the UK since there weren't any listings for her in the US. Despite her origin, the price of the doll wasn't terrible (although I'm sure after shipping and import duties, Dad paid a ton for her). I remember the day Heidi arrived in the mail like it was yesterday. For some reason, I was in the shower (even though I have always been a person who showered in the evenings, for some reason I was bathing in the middle of the day). I heard Dad come in with a package, so I quickly got out of the shower and got dressed. I was so ecstatic and grateful that the precious cargo arrived safely. She had to make an overseas journey. I knew I would cherish and appreciate this Heidi even more than the first. We went out that afternoon to go shopping and I took my new Heidi with me. Dad stopped at the ATM to get some money. While we were in the bank drive through, Dad took Heidi and made her "drive" the car and talk. He then decided to throw my BRAND NEW DOLL out the window and drive off. Dad loved making jokes like this, and most of the time I found them funny (although there were a few incidents when Dad's jokes accidentally caused damage to a doll...ahem, poor Chandler). Dad backed up the car and grabbed Heidi off the pavement....needless to say I was NOT happy about it! Now I can laugh about the whole situation since Heidi was not harmed in any way. I've come to treasure this second Travel in Style Barbie more than first (who I no longer have because she became a body donor since her haircut was not salvageable). She is probably my most sentimental Barbie in my entire collection.
I was besotted with the doll on the right, the moment we first met. Despite her quite frazzled appearance, she was immediately distinguishable to me as my beloved 2001 Travel in Style Barbie. I dubbed her Hildi, so her name goes well with my childhood doll. It's amazing having two of these ladies once again...although I never had two with their full length factory tresses at the same time before. What makes Hildi extra special is that she was a gift. In March 2023, a massive package (split into two boxes) arrived at my doorstep. Inside we found 166 dolls--some in perfect condition, others who were in dire need of help. Hildi was somewhere in the middle in terms of quality and condition. But I knew she could easily be revived. I had loads of spare outfits for her too, what with buying two of Travel in Style Barbie as a kid. She was part of the "Mountains of Monsters Lot," and will always be one of the most memorable dollies from said bin. It's also heart warming having the "American" version of her again (since my other doll originated from the UK). They have subtly different faces, although I doubt that has anything to do with the countries they were released in.
Around 1999 extra 66E journeys was introduced Mon-Friday daytime between City Centre and Ladywood Northbrook Street using Metrobuses. Thease extra journeys lasted until October 1999 when they was a replaced by an 7-8 Min service Ladywood-Nechells Section on 66 66A.

DOLLS IN PACK: Barbie, Krissy
PERSONAL FUN FACT: I had most of the stuff in this photo as a little girl. I found my original Walking Baby Sister Krissy doll in a bin at the local flea market. The seller had a deal where you could fill up a plastic bag for $5, with anything that was inside one of the containers. I knew who Krissy was when I found her beneath the hoards of accessories, playsets, and random Kelly dolls in the bin. I also recognized her carriage, shown here. So I made a very special effort to grab anything and everything that looked like it was baby sized, just in case it went to her. I wasn't aware that all of these goodies belonged to Krissy when I first purchased them. I later on identified them as an adult, and was most impressed by the fact that I had literally gotten all of Krissy's tiny accessories, her outfit with diaper, and Barbie's shirt. Plus there was the carriage as well--but I was disappointed to learn that mine would not stay together as one of the structural pieces was missing. But the bassinet portion was still really fun to use, and it was very sturdy. I love the powder bottle that came with this set most of all--it looks very realistic, and I like its slim size. Plus, all these goodies do really fit inside the bag (which I happen to have three or four of for some reason). The outfit for Barbie I got much later--while I did find her shirt in the bin, it is not the one shown here. My original one was very picked at from making too much contact with velcro. I believe I got this second shirt from the "Filthy Disney bin" of 2011, along with my first Walking Barbie, my second Walking Baby Sister Krissy, and of course duplicated accessories. The skirt came from a lot of doll stuff I purchased much later on--I think sometime in 2016 or 2015. I recognized it right away, and was elated that one of my Walking Barbies (I currently have four) finally had a complete ensemble. Since this set was so iconic and I was still missing certain key components, I was beyond elated when I got Barbie boxed in 2021. She was a Christmas gift from our relative, Ray. I didn't even realize prior to getting this formerly boxed gal that Krissy came with a blanket. I think Barbie's shoes might have been glued on, but I did get them off. It's hard to say since none of my three secondhand gals had their shoes still. It was also SO refreshing having a complete stroller to use. The fabric on the bassinet is also much more vibrant than the one I had as a kid.

***My doll in this photo is wearing 1998 Birthday Party Barbie's dress.
PERSONAL FUN FACT: While it is usually impossible for me to recall the exact date I found a doll, there are a few circumstances in which I do. Obviously, if I snapped a haul photo or filmed a video for the internet, but also if I get a doll on a holiday or other memorable circumstance. This stunning lady was rescued on New Year's Eve Day 2014. She was the last dolly of the year, well her and the others we scored that day. I don't recall exactly why we were out and about that New Year's Eve Day. It was before I started going to the dentist, who has an office near the charity store we got this gal at. Perhaps we just felt like shopping? Anyways, this charity store had recently opened around that time (sadly it closed in the years since). There were actually quite a few dolls there on this occasion, but we had the vast majority. Two did, however, catch our attention. One was a decapitated Wedding Day Midge. I thought I recognized her from the iconic line, and of course she was wa Midge....so she was a shoe in. But this attractive African American doll, who was clearly from the late 90s or early 2000s, also begged to be adopted. I had absolutely no idea who she was, but it didn't matter. At home, Colleen had started to do some identification work on our new AA friend. That's when I spotted a photo of the Caucasian Celebration Cake Barbie. It came to mind that perhaps this dolly was a variation of said Celebration Cake Barbie. She bore resemblance to the blonde girl, and there are almost always ethnic variations of birthday type Barbies. Lo and behold, my hunch panned out. I was very excited to have such an awesome doll in my collection. Even if she was a simpler Barbie, her gorgeous facial screening and ebony skin would have still ensured she was a treasure. I will always think of her, Wedding Day Midge, and my two 2013 "Black Friday" Bratz I got that day as the last dolls of 2014!
