PERSONAL FUN FACT written by my sister: The fantasy of owning a blonde Skipper on an '87 body began during the flea market season of 2001. While with our parents at our regular flea market, we bought a blue table and chairs and a Pretty Surprise Barbie. When the nice lady who sold us the table packed it up for us, she moved another doll that we weren't buying off one of the chairs--a blonde, blue eyed Skipper with this body type. I think that may be what led to me becoming interested in Skipper and I know that it was what made me especially want a blonde one. I pined for a long time about not buying that Skipper doll. In late fall/early winter of 2002 or 2003 (depending on whether it was before or after the new year), we were at a REALLY gross indoor flea market. It was cluttered, dirty, and a bit scary. I had just recently acquired my beloved Robin (Pet Pals) and was more into Skipper than ever. I saw three disgusting dolls in bad, tattered clothing but wanted them because they were "old Skippers." The guy wanted five dollars a piece! One was a blonde 1990 Babysitter with awful hair, one was a Cool Crimp Courtney (the beauty of the bunch), and another was the Hawaiian Fun Skipper, the forth from the left in this photo. She reminded me a lot of that doll I left behind at another flea market a year earlier. So, while I thought the Courtney doll (christened Vanessa) the most exotic, I took more of a shine to this doll. She was incredibly rough at the time--she was on the wrong body (it was too pale for her tan face), she was rather bald, and what remained of her hair was pretty damaged. Still, she was like the blonde "old Skipper" I was pining for, with sweet blue eyes. I was acquiring a lot of dolls around this time but, of all the new Skippers, this doll got to play Robin's best friend. I named her Margie--Margie Valentine. She and Beach Party Cloe were such good friends to Robin and Yasmin that they more or less lived with the family. Our backstory was that they were siblings with a hard home life that slept over with Robin and Yasmin most nights. Margie was nearly as important as Robin and a lot of Robin's soap operas were centered on Margie. I honestly can say I love Margie as much as I love Robin and Daphne (Teen Time Courtney). She's just that much a part of my favorite memories of playing with my sister and of who I was as a teenager.
The doll second from the left is also a close friend. I named her Scooter. I got her sometime in 2003--not really that much later than I acquired Margie (who I may actually have gotten at the beginning of 2003 instead of the end of 2002). However, it still felt like an eternity later. I bought Scooter from sellers we dubbed "The Case People"--I believe she is one of the earliest finds we bought from them. Scooter is actually the doll who I got with the actual swimsuit. Trinket, far left, a later find from around 2004, stole it to wear on display in my room for a while. I've kept Trinket in it ever since because I like the lay of her bangs--they remind me of Margie's before Shelly fully re-rooted her (there wasn't much left of her hair!). When I finally found another swimsuit and hula skirt (separately from each other I may add), I gave them to Scooter because I felt she deserved it! While her new swimsuit is a little more stretched out than the one Trinket stole from her, she got the better hula skirt!
I got many Skippers in bins in 2003 and 2004 and, honestly, I can't remember where I got all of them. I got the doll on the far right, named Alana, around the same time as Trinket, but don't know which bin I found her in. In fact, she may have been a separate purchase, not a bin doll. However, I remember getting Trinket very clearly. She came in the same bin as William and Joy--our Beast and Belle dolls! We went to our Auntie Kim and Uncle Ray's the same day. We didn't have time to wash the dolls first, but we toted them along and played with them anyway. I vividly remember because I put poor William in a large baby doll diaper that actually fit him. I don't have such a strong memory with Alana, but I know I've had her since around the same time. Alana was also the funnest to try identifying--her kanekelon hair threw me off. All my others, including Margie, have saran (Margie's hair looks different because she got rerooted in 2012, but both her original hair and replacement hair were saran). So, while I don't remember getting Alana, I have the most memories of trying to crack the case of her identity back in 2011 when we re-immersed ourselves in dolls! The fifth doll from the left is Megan. I got her at a large outdoor flea market with Dad. I got her with the outfit she's wearing--which is funny because I got Margie in the same exact shirt! Megan reminds me more of Margie than any of my other Hawaiian Fun dolls. It's funny because I didn't pay Megan much attention when I got her, I was more excited about my first Todd and Pizza Party Courtney I bought with her--not to mention the ensemble I bought her for. She's grown so dear to me because of her uncanny resemblance to my beloved Margie. The third doll from the left is my latest acquisition. I got her in February 2020 in the "Tortured Treasures" lot. She luckily still had her swimsuit! I decided, at Shelly's suggestion to name her Margo. I have always liked the name Margo and think it is fitting because, like Megan, Margo reminds me a lot of Margie. Margo's head was floating around the bin when we got her and her neck needed repair. Like Margie, she was a battered beauty in need of rescue. Margie made Hawaiian Fun Skipper iconic to me. Ironically, she gained her station in life because she reminded me of a doll I wished I bought earlier. I later crossed paths with the seller that had the other doll and she still had her! (For the full story, see Wet 'n Wild.) While I am definitely glad to have been lucky enough to find my dream doll, and while she was a much better buy than Margie, and while I don't feel like she was less wonderful than I dreamed, I will always love Margie more! When I think "80s/90s blonde Skipper," I always picture Margie! So, while Sonya (Wet 'n Wild) was the doll I pined for, Margie was the one who stole my heart. I guess it's like that saying, "If you can't have the one you want, love the one you're with." And--I'm glad Margie and I found each other.
Visited Ilocos Sur once again and hit the streets of Vigan, as well as my dad's hometown of Magsingal for some street photography.

Water fun at Tempe Marketplace, where kids of all ages splash their way through hot AZ afternoons running into fab straight-up fountains. Nothing like a little water to make people happy, especially in the desert! Fun to watch too. :)
For a commission I'm working on. Shown is Great Marsh, in occupied Wamponoag territory encompassing what is currently Barnstable, MA. (Made with QGIS with accompanying SAGA tools).

PERSONAL FUN FACT: Ah, Kitty Fun Barbie...your stuff is glorious! I admit that the main reason I was drawn to this doll in the first place was because of her cat. Her name is Marshmallow, and wouldn't you know it, but at the time we had a cat named the same! Of course, our cat was a boy, so we always considered Barbie's pet to be a male too. I guess he doesn't mind that all his stuff is bedazzled in pink! Anyways, the gimmick behind this set is that Marshmallow is suppose to "pee" and use his litter box. Barbie can then "clean" the clumps of "peed" on cat litter. This is actually a fairly common gimmick with Barbie pets, although that might seem odd to someone who doesn't know much about dolls. Mattel knows that kids are obsessed with bathroom related things....so pooping and peeing pets are very appreciated by most children. Marshmallow has the same sort of gimmick as our Potty Training Kelly. You fill his bottle with water, "feed" him, and then squeeze his belly to make him pee it out. I remember trying this gimmick out with my friend Lisa when we were kids. I had picked out Kitty Fun Barbie as her birthday gift one year. Honestly the clumping cat litter feature did not work out so well. It was very messy and not worth the aggravation. That's why I didn't even bother testing it out as an adult. I never even opened Barbie's colorful baggies of litter. I have some duplicated accessories and clothing items. The plastic pieces came from my cousin's wife--she let me and Colleen have her childhood doll and all of the remaining fixings she had. My favorite accessory would have to be either the box of cat litter or the cans of Fancy Feast. Colleen and I always thought that only "spoiled, rich" cats ate Fancy Feast when we were kids. So it felt very luxurious knowing that Barbie's cat only ate the best of the best. This doll must have sold well in general, since I have found so many fragments of her clothes over the years. I found a top for my blonde doll, and an entire ensemble for one of my AA girl's (whose original ensemble was very faded)!

While Photographing a Halloween party for a dog club This woman had this old frame. She thought it would be fun to have a picture of them looking like they were in a picture. Dogs being unpredictable he stuck his head through the frame. The raw image was anticlimactic it just looked like they were holding a frame. I thought if everything that was not framed was a solid background or out of focus it might add something to the image. After trying a couple background colors, I decided to just blur the background so it might look like the frame was a window of clarity. The blurred Background is actually just the rest of the image. In PS I duplicated the background layer and added blur. Then on the background layer I selected everything in, on or coming out of the frame to remain sharp and made that another layer that set on top of the Blurred layer. 1 photo, 1 blurred layer and 1 selection.
