***My doll on the right is wearing 1997 Far East Fashions.
PERSONAL FUN FACT: I remember ogling "Basic" Mulan back in late 2010/2011 when I got my "Disney Dolls Identification and Price Guide" by Margo Rana. I don't recall ever having seen this particular Mulan in stores--I was very keen for the Real Riding Khan gal as well as the Secret Hero one. I hoped to one day have her, and even tried to track one down on eBay. But since this is such a simple doll, who only came with shoes and a dress, I didn't want to splurge on her. In 2012, my first doll joined my collection. She is the lady on the right, and is by far more sentimental to me than the other. It was shortly after my dad passed away. My cousins' now wife went to her parents' house to retrieve all her childhood dolls, while I was out fishing with my uncle. When I returned (mind you I was feeling disgusting since I had gotten sea sick and barfed), I entered a doll covered living room. Colleen, who had not gone on the boat, had spent the afternoon finding the dolls and looking through them with Chrissy and my second cousin. Knowing how much I loved Disney, Chrissy said we could have "Basic" Mulan. Time has not been kind to this poor doll. She has a greasy face, as she started to decay. She's also kind of homely--her facial screening is much harsher than my other doll's, and the sticky build up doesn't help. I actually bought all my Mulan fashion packs just for this girl. I felt so sorry for her state, and having been ignored for many years. I thought she was worth the splurge, and she's always worn different fashions over the years, depending on my current mood. I love this doll because she was a thoughtful gift, and very much in need of a new home/loving family.
Although I'll always be sentimentally attached to my first "Basic" Mulan, I have to admit that I was very excited to acquire another. My lady on the left side of this photo originated from the "Bead Blast Barbie AA lot" of 2015. She was easy to identify on the spot, what with her non-articulated arms, but large feet and articulated knees. But had she just been a rolling, loose head, I wouldn't have been so quick to id her. That's because she is far more attractive and aesthetically appealing than my first "Basic" doll. Her features are fainter and painted more delicately. Plus she doesn't suffer from greasy face (which is common in these dolls from what I've seen). This is why she got the first original outfit I found, also in 2015. She made a far better representation of "Basic" Mulan, so she is my model for display. But I don't think my first gal minds wearing her fancy eBay fashions.

About me:
Its hard to describe myself because I am constantly changing. So to start, above all else, I am a bad ass bartender. I bartend at OPERA Nightclub here in Atlanta, Geogia. Its the biggest and hottest club in Atlanta. I also bartend at the Irish Bred Carrollton where I can fulfill my bar dancing passion to AC/DC, Buckcherry (Crazy biotch!), and Def Lepard. I love serving up cocktails with a little sassy shake some come by either place and check me out!!
Second, I am a model and one of the hottest female entrepreneurs on this planet. In modeling, I specialize in glamour, fitness, and promotional modeling. I always have something going on somewhere. I'm partnering up with NOPI as a NOPI CHIC for 2008. I love doing charity work so keep updated on my events and help us out. As an entrepreneur, I own half of a calendar production company with JM Polsfuss that is responsible for the hottest calendar coming out in 2009 Construction Cuties. Watch for it!! I also just teamed up with get this...yes...The Rob Sims....which we will have my website launched by the end of Spring to help heat up the summer for you. Also watch for all the magazine covers, layouts, spreads, etc. coming soon...I told you guys I'll be taking over the WORLD!! Lastly, I am a regular girl that had a dream and am still forcing it to come true come hell or high water. I'm from a small town, but I'm working hard to fulfill my big city dreams as well as those of other girls who want to be models with MODELICIOUS. So if you want to try modeling, don't listen to people when they tell you that you cant do it, they said I couldn't, and I look at me...so don't listen, contact me and lets see what we can do. I DONT DO ANYTHING FOR FREE....so don't ask. I have a small network of professional models I use and promote because they have become friends. Don't ask for my contacts, because I work hard in promoting and networking myself so why should I just hand over my hard work to you. If you want my network, you pay for my network.
THINGS YOU WOULDN'T GUESS ABOUT ME: No one would ever guess that I used to be in the Army National Guard. I used to be on Active Reserve as the RA for SFC Robert Cornett. I got out in 2005. I also used to wiegh 170 lbs. I gained a huge amount of weight when I quit drinking and smoking. Yea a lot of you thought it would never happen. I quit cold turkey and the turkey went to my ass. I lost 50 lbs. on the Subway diet. I was recently on the Coyote Ugly Reality Show on CMT and hated every minute. I also have a degree in Political Science and Computer Science with a minor in Military Science. Just some cool quirks about me.

Too many to list. Google him for the rest...lol. Rob and I will be offering photoshoots to ambitious models with the guarantee to be published. Yes there is a catch. 1)like I said I don't do anything for FREE 2) Neither does he 3) you have to be approved by me first. Sorry ladies...I have to be picky. Feel free to submit to me for shoots with Rob. I will be honest and give you feedback. WE ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN GUARANTEE YOU PUBLICATION IN MAJOR MAGAZINES.
All you need to capture these shots is the Canon 10-22mm lens a cokin filter holder a digital light wand RGB, an empty coke bottle and you guessed it a cheese grater.
Place the cokin filter on the lens then carefully fit the cheese grater over the filter holder. Once up right place the cut down coke bottle through the grater. Set aperture to f8-f25 timer to 2sec delay and exposure to say 6 seconds-?? whatever.

Basic dashboard of a unknown French tractor with a Ampère meter and a oil pressure meter.
I could not find an emblem at this agricultural vehicle so type, year and origin stays mysterious to me.
It's certainly a French brand.
It's nice to see back the late 1930s style nose.

This male chestnut sided warbler is enjoying a late afternoon snack on some sort of worm. The woods in New Brunswick are thick with mosquitos and other critters at the moment so this warbler is a welcome sight!
An interesting fact about the chestnut sided is that it sings two basic song types: one is accented at the end (the pleased-to-MEETCHA song), and the other is not. The accented songs are used primarily to attract a female and decrease in frequency once nesting is well under way.
more info and a closer look here.
fyi, the model measures about 18xm x 16cm. made from woven cotton.

***The doll on the right is wearing 2013 Forever Fairytale Gift Set Ariel's dress.
PERSONAL FUN FACT: I definitely recall seeing the "Basic" Ariel dolls at Toys 'R' Us back in the day. For my sixth birthday I picked out Princess Mermaid Ariel and a fashion pack for her. Although I thought the "Basic" doll was a tad prettier, her hair wasn't as long. Plus, she didn't come with any extras. I'm sure that happened a lot to "Basic" Ariel dolls. It's hard to compete when you don't have as many extras as other dolls on shelves. Anyways, the first lady I owned was the one on the left side of this photo. She actually has a super cool backstory that involves a strange twist of fate. During the fall of 2011, one of the last days we went to the local flea market, I came upon a zipper case of dolls. The case was stuffed to the gills with late 90s and early 2000s Barbies, who looked to be in fantastic condition. The main ones of interest were the Generation Girls (I needed upgrades since my childhood ladies were so forlorn). I noted that there was a large gallon sized ziploc with a few random dolls and clothing scraps next to the zipper case. The seller said we could have both the ziploc and zipper case for $10. This was too good an offer to refuse. Some of the dolls from the ziploc were a lot newer--like Fashionistas Glam. But Ariel was stashed inside, as well as a pair of 2001 Sparkling Jasmine bottoms. We dubbed this the "Generation Girl Bin." For about a year and a half, Ariel wore whatever scraps I had leftover from other dolls/fashion packs. Then in 2013, I bought another lot of dolls from the same seller (dubbed the "60 Doll Bin"). Wouldn't you know that her outfit was in the container! I'm guessing Ariel was separated from her former housemates and her outfit at one point, and was put out with dolls who originated from elsewhere.
The doll on the right also came from a bin. I rescued her in the 2015 "Bead Blast Barbie AA Lot." This container of dolls also came from the local flea market. They were packed into reusable shopping bags. Ariel's outfit was sadly not anywhere to be found. But I think she's one of the prettiest dolls in my collection, so it's super easy dressing her in other things.
A straight brown woollen skirt and jacket with matching crocodile handbag, white blouse and a hat adorned with a feather, seamed stockings and high heeled shoes.
I love this fall’s comfy trends: leggings, oversized flannel shirts, puffy vests. Basically, awesome.
Vest, J Crew. Shirt, Passport. Leggings, Express. Boots, Style & Co (thrifted). Bag, Steve Madden.
A basic "skeleton" for new design variations based on my Magic Folding "Fidget" Cube.
Based on this skeleton cube I found four variations of the basic design (A ... D) with the pivot points at the same positions but with some different details (changes marked with orange parts). Each of the designs has six folding steps (1 ... 6) so you get 24 different versions of a symmetrical cube or cuboid that you can use as a base for a foldable micro scale Lego model.
As bridges is this months competition, I thought I would post the most basic version as something a bit different!
Thanks for looking.
