This lovely Barbie is for sale in my Ebay boutique: www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-MOD-SUNSET-MALIBU-BARBIE-DOLL-w-... SOLD
I bought this vinyl getup literally years ago with the intention of doing a shoot with Lyla and we finally managed to make it happen. But only very briefly, because it was COLD AS HECK, so we need to shoot again some time with it when it's not quite so awful.
It can be interesting to examine what runners wear. In this case, she is wearing gloves...and a sports bra.
The issue with running is that it is very easy to overheat. At the same time, extremities can get cold - so the sports bra and gloves combination might not be as weird as it seems.
On the other hand (no pun intended), hands eventually warm up, too, and then get too hot. I personally have to remove gloves in all but the most extreme circumstances (like, for example, a St. Patrick's Day run that I did one time when it was 15 degrees F outside).
I’m not sure about this getup….but the light is perfect.

"The image of a Syrian child's lifeless body washed up on the shores of a Turkish beach this week brought the world to its knees. His name was Aylan Kurdi, and he was just three years old.
The sad reality is that Aylan was one among millions of desperate people forced to flee from war and persecution. The world is facing a global refugee crisis on a scale we've not seen since WWII, but Australia - our lucky country of a fair go for all - is not doing enough. We can do better to help these people.
We need to do better."

PERSONAL FUN FACT: This might be my favorite Bratz beach themed getup of all time. That is saying a lot, considering there have been tons of beach collections released over the years (and those Sun-Kissed Summer gals have really beautiful, detailed, well made ensembles). But taking into consideration all the other lovely beach/tropical Bratz lines, I still have to say that this is my favorite outfit ever. First off, let's talk about that knit top! It completely captures Yasmin's bohemian aesthetic, and it is very well made. It reminds me so very much of the Sun-Kissed Summer dolls, who had lots of knit things in their collection. This color orange is also to die for! It makes Yasmin's golden skin tone pop, and it makes her the eye catcher from this line. Then there are her shorts--which are very unexpected for a Bratz doll. I never thought that a bright yellow pair of printed beach themed shorts would look sassy on a Bratz doll, but I stand corrected. These shorts remind me of a stylish version of Swim Buddies Tommy's! The color works great with Yasmin's knit top, and that print is darling! Then there are Yasmin's bold shoes--I love the fresh, vibrant shade of teal they are. It works wonderfully with Yasmin's tan. I also love how it picks up on the subtle teal color in the print of her shorts. It's really all the little details about this ensemble that tie it together. And of course, I'm going to mention the obvious here--that shoe mold is flawless! The tassels are totally unexpected and the once again hint towards Yasmin's boho theme. Since her outfit is so attention grabbing and vibrant, her bag is a bit more toned down. I like how it is a traditional woven beach bag with a teal scarf on it (which once again picks up on the color of her shoes). Her earrings are the most practical for this line as well--don't get me wrong, the other girls have way more unique, funky molds, but these ones actually look wearable, and they match Yasmin's shorts flawlessly.
Apart from the Vape, this chap looked slightly out of his time, leaning waiting for the bus.
This is a crop of a full-body shot as the detail looks better closer to 100%. Lingering chatting to a friend on the other side of a busy street he still clocked the lens being raised in his peripheral vision.
I like long lenses in the street to get good isolation but they aren't very subtle and definitely have to be aimed.

***This outfit is modeled on Girl of the Year 2005 Marisol Luna.
PERSONAL FUN FACT: Marisol looks like an ethereal princess modeling this Pastel Party Dress. I thought this getup was adorable the first time I saw it (although the doll that American Girl chose to model this on looked kind of odd in it if you ask me). Anyways, I never planned to purchase this so soon, if at all. I mostly focus on buying historical American Girl outfits brand new. At the end of May 2023, I had a rewards coupon for $20 which I planned to purchase Kit's School Outfit with. Just days before the coupon expired, American Girl did a site wide sale (where you saved a certain percentage depending on how much you spent). I admit, I was naughty and ended up ordering more things than just Kit's dress (which was excluded from the sale as it was too new). I realized that Courtney's new Strawberry Shortcake pjs were also excluded from the sale, so I couldn't pick those out for my sister (why pay full price when they would qualify for future sales in a few months). I decided to check out the Truly Me section and see what was available. This dress caught my eye. I don't own anything like it---it's so whimsical and charming. After some debate, I decided that I'd get this. I really love the pastel tulle and the coordinating headband. The shoes seem off to me...they kill the fantasy vibe a bit (I get that American Girl was going for a modern/casual twist). Personally, I would have paired this outfit with pastel colored flats or little sandals with tulle bows.

Oddly enough, this was my plan for my SP today even before I saw Dr.Irish . My two reasons for the nurse getup tonight are as follows:
1. I have a bag of props for when I have no ideas. It was a stethoscope or a pirate.
2. I have recently recovered from my disdain of all things regarding nursing.
Now any nurses out there, please take no offense. My issues with nurses have nothing to do with nurses or nursing in general but of course a man. My heart was broken by a man who cheated on me for a year with our close mutual friend who was of course in nursing school. During her winter break and without my knowledge, they escaped to the Bahamas for a week, completely missing my birthday. Not long after was her graduation. Being the good friend that I am, threw her a giant graduation party, including all her favorite dishes, and a cake with a picture of her at her graduation on it. I now believe he was actually the one who took the picture at the graduation instead of being home sick like he told me. Regardless, after a year of this, he finally admitted cheating on me, via the phone of course. Not long after, they were engaged and eventually married. Needless to say I was heartbroken, causing me to hate anything that could remotely remind me of the situation. I couldn't see a nurse without the feelings of panic and betrayal creeping up on me.
Years have passed and I have moved on but still have some lingering anxiety ridden moments. My best friend is now ready to enter *EDIT* the medical field and it's time for me to associate good with the image.
Make that 3 reasons - Dyxie's sick and may need my bedside manor.;)

After a week or so with an Apple Watch, it's really motivating me to getup and be active. The Activity Circles give you a quick glance at what needs work, and the goal is to complete the circles - all 360° of them.
Where the inner circle is a prompt to stand up every hour over for 12 hours, the lime green is for exercise (30 minutes), and the outer ring is a calorie tracker (640). I may have to adjust that latter goal, because it's the hardest to complete!
They are not lofty goals by any means, but goals all the same. On the plus side, I get on average an hour of exercise a day. Baby steps...

My Barbie and the Rockers lady came with a pair of handmade earrings her previous owner gave her. However, I wanted something EXTRA spicy for her. She is from the 80s after all, and wears a gaudy hot pink and silver star getup. I recycled the simple silver stars on my Jewel Hair Mermaid Midge, shown beside Barbie. I also took earrings from Rollerblade Kira, to make these for Midge. I changed Rollerblade Kira's outfit (she was from the "Mountains of Monsters Lot, just like Rocker Barbie). The beautiful pair of earrings her previous owner made would no longer match the different outfit. I just had to use these fabulous green beads right away. I ended up combining Rocker Barbie and Kira's pairs to make one set for Midge. I can't claim credit for the arrangement of the little green beads--they were placed this way by someone else (who makes wonderful handmade jewelry might I add). I like that the stars compliment Midge's jewel mermaid aesthetic. But the green beads match the fashion pack I dressed her in.
For my Rocker Barbie, I wondered from the get go if I could get away with using these HUGE star charms. I bought them at Michael's with a gift card for my birthday in 2022. I mostly thought of American Girls when I picked them out. However, I figured fashion dollies could use them too, if they had large enough heads. Barbie somehow can actually pull them off. I didn't have any other pink stars to utilize, so my only choice were these massive ones. And I just HAD to incorporate stars...her outfit is covered in them! I added a couple solid silver beads to tie in the her silver pants (and for a bit of length so the stars would hang more flatteringly).
Speaking of stars, my Rainbow Hair Barbie has them too. Her stars are much daintier. I got these clear star charms from a bracelet at a thrift store for 75 cents. I always keep my eyes pealed for cool, inexpensive jewelry I can recycle for dolls. You don't have to spend a ton of money to make fun pieces for your plastic friends. I don't have this doll's original ensemble, so I based her earrings all around the fashion pack she wears. I went for a bold black, pink, and star theme to match the fashion. These are easily my favorite pair from the collage. They do SO much for Barbie, and this dress is one of my faves in my collection.
I stole the idea I had for Ghouls' Night Out Ghoulia's earrings for my beloved Dream Glow Barbie. My sister picked out this 80s fashion pack for her to don, since she does not have her factory dress at this time. Barbie's not mad about it though...she was decapitated when I got her (her neck joint had oddly snapped in half). Anyways, The dress she sports is very sleek, simple, and elegant. I didn't want her jewelry to be too distracting. That's why I chose one statement charm...these awesome purple hoops. I wanted them to be large, but not overly detailed...these hoops did the trick. Yes, they are quite gaudy, and definitely not for everyone. But I love the way these compliment not just the dress, but also Barbie's fabulous purple eyes.

This is my 16th year covering this fun festival filled with color and pageantry and beautiful people. Each year some of the regulars return and sometimes fresh new faces appear to join the eclectic Renaissance Family. Some are vendors or employees, and some customers dress up to fit in with the renaissance festival fun and its 16th century way of life. One big happy family of a few thousand escaping the dull drums of their daily life for a few hours. This year's crop of new faces was lovely. Hope you enjoy the images. I try to capture their joy. Always fun, festive, very colorful and exciting!
Thank you very much for looking. Have a great day! Hazaaa!!

PERSONAL FUN FACT: I love this adorable beach getup for Miss Clark. She looks fantastic in it, as do my other dollies. I have to say that this outfit is just as I figured it would be. The top is constructed from a thin, soft material. Of course Lea wouldn't want to wear something super thick and hot, when she's out at the beach. My favorite part about it has to be the color fade from yellow to pinkish purple. It's so beautiful and the tribal print pops against it. The shorts are flipped over for the photo, so you can see the little Lea Clark tag sewn on the back. I wish American Girl continued to add these little tags/patches on Girl of the Year stuff. It made it feel extra special and fancy. It also made it easier to know if you were buying the right thing on the secondhand market. These shorts are also thin and breezy. The plain color is perfect for pairing with other random tops (like those I got at the flea market by themselves, or my AG Place ones I bought online). The shoes are the BEST part. They are only rivaled by perhaps Lea's "Meet" footwear. I love the colorful braided straps. They can be a tad tricky to put on, since you have to be wary of tangling the cords. But they fit very nicely and look super cool!
These are my "least" favorite getups from this Deluxe Fashion Gift Set. Of course, I'm not snob when it comes to doll clothes. But obviously these are the fashions that made Frozen famous! You will see these getups on more merchandise and dolls than any others. I have a Disney Store version of this Elsa dress, and JC Penney ones of Anna and Kristoff's (despite not having those dolls sadly). Regardless, it's still very exciting seeing all three of these classic looks together in a photo, worn by Disney Store dolls! Kristoff once again has the best quality getup of this set. It's just as soft and cushiony as his Frozen II one. I also appreciate the addition of mittens and a hat. It's a shame that Sven wasn't incorporated into this pack...he's one Frozen character (besides Hans of course), that I feel my collection is really missing. Anna and Elsa's outfits are similar to their original 2013 Disney Store releases, but a tad cheaper (the fabrics are stiffer and flimsier feeling). I should also note that while the girls were given four outfits, they did not have shoes for all of the looks. Luckily, the shoes do mix and match quite well. I love how Colleen borrowed the ice from my L.O.L. and O.M.G. houses' refrigerators. They are perfect for Kristoff since his job was hauling ice!
SCENE ONE, Peter's House, 1:00 AM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter woke up in bed, in shock... This happens right after the last comic.
Peter: *gasp*... Was that a dream?!
Peter's brain: Couldn't be... It felt so real... Is Gwen really dead?
Peter looked down at himself, and saw he was wearing his Spider-Man getup...
Peter's brain: Did I fall asleep in the suit?
Peter heard a voice call out to him...
Voice: I put it on you.
Peter: What the? Who's there?
A drawer next to Peter's bed opened, as a red and black symbiote came out of it...
Peter: Are... you that guy I fought last week? And IS Gwen actually dead?!
Symbiote: No and no. Not yet, for the second question. You fought someone calling themselves Carnage... I used to be Venom, part of Venom anyway. I was part of your black suit, and I managed to find you. Now that Venom is taken, you can call me Toxin.
Peter: O-Okay? What do you mean not yet?
Toxin: I'm simply warning you for what I know will happen... Maybe not exactly, but my species is cursed with vague knowledge of coming events. So I had to fill in the gaps myself... We'll see what happens together.
Peter: Why did you have to show me something so horrific?! That is emotionally scaring stuff.
Toxin: Well, we're not exactly friends. I want to turn you into one of us, look at how similar we look...
Toxin jumped from the drawer...
Toxin: We're practically different sides of the same coin. You on your side, and me and all your other demons on the other... Me, Venom, Carnage... Sandman, Rhino, Electro, Shocker... Doctor Octopus.
Peter: Why are you telling me this? How does this effect me?
Toxin: I can't say, exactly. I'm just saying be on the look out, and maybe your friend will pass. Something to think about.
Peter: What do you mean "you can't say"? Who's stopping you?!
Toxin moved their hand up with a finger, signifying telling Peter to stop talking...
Toxin: Not a who, but a what. My species thrived on death, if I told you exactly how to stop one? I'd be the one being killed.
Peter: Okay, and why would that be worse than my friend dying?
Toxin: Heh heh heh... You seriously think that I'd sacrifice myself for some random humans life?
Peter: Dude, you had the guts to show me my friend killing herself! Why do you have to be so selfish?
Toxin: ...
Toxin threw a punch at Spider-Man, but he blocked it.
Peter: ...Seriously?
Toxin: Less talking, more fighting.
Peter threw his fist at Toxin's stomach, which was a direct hit! Toxin flew back, but then charged forward, and punched Spider-Man in the jaw! Spider-Man used his webs to pull Toxin to the ground, but he got up right after. Spider-Man tried to kick Toxin, but he dodged it. Toxin then cut threw the chest of Spider-Mans costume with his claws! Spider-Man used his webs to swing from the ceiling and kick Toxin in the chest, knocking him back onto the ground!
Toxin: *uff*..!
Peter, arms crossed: You done yet?
Toxin: Do you think that's enough to save Stacy?
Toxin, still on the ground, kicked Peter's ankles and knocked him down! Toxin got back up, and stomped on Spider-Man's chest!
Peter: Ach!
Spider-Man got back up, and punched Toxin in the face! Toxin grabbed his jaw...
Toxin: Ugh... G-...Getting better..!
Spider-Man slid in between Toxin's legs, got up behind him, kicked him in the back, and knocked him down!
Toxin: *uff*! Nice work!
Peter: Thanks. Also your welcome for going easy on you.
Toxin: Heh... S-Sure you are.
Toxin got up, and tried to kick Peter in the chest! He dodged it, grabbed Toxin's leg, and pulled him back down!
Toxin: Ach!
Peter: Am I ready yet?
Toxin: N-...Not quite...
Toxin got back up one more time, but Spider-Man fired their webs at Toxins face as soon as he did, grabbed him by the foot, swung him around his bedroom, and threw him out the open window!
Toxin: Aghh!!!
Peter: Now?
Toxin: O-...O-Okay... Fine! I'll leave you alone...
Peter: Now don't come back!
Peter slammed the window shut... Aunt May shockingly managed to stay asleep through all of this!
SCENE TWO, Oscorp Building
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Late at night, Norman Osborn works on a project in Oscorp... Right now, he's finally completing it.
Norman: Yes... Yes! I've done it! The ultimate being to kill the Spider-Man.
He presses a button, which opens a large glass case in front of him, revealing a purple, brown and green suit, with a cape, boots, belt, ears, yellow eyes, all topped off with a long, pointed hat.
Norman: The Goblin armor.
