I can't believe I lucked out with a numbered Jett Dawson! Mine is #499/1000. I preordered two from Amazon US on release day, and because presales were restricted to the US, I had to resort to using a freight forwarder to ship her to me.
Her box came a little beat up, and most of those gold corner pieces came loose so I had to glue them back on. Because she's numbered, I do want to keep her on display in her box, so it's a little frustrating she came this way. Sadly it's one of the perks of ordering from the US. I'm just grateful nothing is broken, cracked or damp. The deboxed Jett showing here is the other unnumbered one I got.
I also shipped a bunch of other dolls along with Jett, including the De'Vious twins, Barbie Extra deluxe dolls, made to move barbies, Barbie BMR1959 and the 2021 Lunar New Year Barbie. The entire package weighed a whopping 9kg!
Now onto the Jett doll herself. She's gorgeous. I love how edgy and bold she is with her monochromatic black and white graphic sketch style. I appreciate her extra articulation in the chest and ankles, and her buttery smooth and soft rainbow pastel hair is to die for. She also sports a different skin tone from the other girls? She seems to have more pink undertones than the fairest dolls like Ruby and Poppy, and it's so radiant and beautiful. They've also really toned down on the face shimmer and she her face is mostly matte, which is a treat for photos.
So I'm fully aware of all the controversy surrounding this "collector's edition" doll. And on one hand, I do agree that she's somewhat overpriced compared to other Rainbow High dolls such as Avery Styles. However, you're really getting bang for your buck if you compare her with let's say, a limited edition Disney doll. And it's mostly in her second outfit.
It's a runway style burgundy red mermaid dress, fully lined and embroidered. It definitely plays a big part in driving her cost up. And that's unfortunate. Because while I do appreciate the craftsmanship and time that went into this fashion piece, I can't say I'm a fan. I wish they'd put their time and budget on something more cohesive and less restrictive for Jett. I just don't see myself putting this impractical and extravagant dress on any of the current Rainbow High dolls. It will likely just act as a background decor or prop, which is a real pity. There are already several YT videos showing how problematic the dress is to get on and pose in.
Before I sign off, I do have to note that I'm so glad MGA finally released an east asian doll (even though her surname doesn't sound asian at all?) because we asians get so little representation in most doll lines. I hope to see more asian dolls enter the Rainbowverse.
So all in all, while I do adore this doll and she's definitely amongst my top favourites, she is not without issues. I have already ordered two more of her from Amazon (I'm trying to get one with deep red ombre lips like my numbered one which I will not be deboxing). As of now, my absolute favourite Rainbow High doll is Laurel De'vious. She's absolutely breathtaking, and I am so in love with her fiery colours and new face mould. More on that soon!!
Leyland National Number 1 in the Chase fleet sits robbed of parts at the depot.
Never found an ID for this one. Can anyone help?
Not that number 10 though! This is an imposter doorway, which lives in Adam Street, off The Strand in London.
It has a few similarities at a casual glance, but don't think it would really pass for the Prime Minister's residence ...
Today - it's soft and warm and cozy! Adorned with my new flower pin from Etsy seller Rivulette, which is a perfect match!

54388 and 53231 apparently numbered as set 101240, probably meant to be LO240. The vehicles still retained their 'E' prefices and former Norwich set numbers, seen at Manchester Victoria on 16/Jul/1992.

Charles Nelson was born July 4, 1835 in Hagenow, a small town in the Mecklenburg-Schwerin state of northern Germany. When Charles was 15, his father decided he wanted to move his family to America for a better life.
Charles and his brother began doing the only thing they knew how to do: making soap and candles. After saving some money, the Nelson family moved west, settling in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was there that Charles, merely 17 years of age, entered the butcher business and acquainted himself with a number of fellow craftsmen who educated him in the art of producing and selling distilled spirits, particularly whiskey.
Several years later, just before the start of the Civil War, Charles set out for Nashville seeking a fresh start and another American dream took tenuous root. He opened a grocery store which flourished from sales of his three best-selling products: coffee, meat and whiskey. Very quickly however, Charles realized that the demand for his whiskey far exceeded his supply, revealing to him the opportunity to focus solely on whiskey. So he sold the grocery business.
Charles bought the distillery that was making his whiskey in Greenbrier, TN, and a patent for improved distillation. He expanded the production capacity in order to keep up with demand. With this expansion, Nelson was not only creating more jobs, he was making a name for Tennessee Whiskey. By 1885, there were hundreds of whiskey distilleries in Tennessee, but only a handful were producing significant volume. That year, Charles Nelson sold nearly 380,000 gallons, that's around 2 million bottles, of Nelson’s Green Brier Tennessee Whiskey. The distillery, which was commonly known as “Old Number Five” due to the fact that it was registered distillery number five and was located in the fifth tax district.
Charles Nelson passed away on December 13, 1891. His wife Louisa assumed control of the business, becoming one of the only women of her time to run a distillery. Louisa Nelson was a woman of remarkable strength and character who ran Nelson's Green Brier Distillery from 1891 until Prohibition shuttered it in 1909. She grew the distillery into one of the largest in the country at the time despite the great odds against her, including not having the right to vote. Fortunately, Louisa filed a trademark a few years before having to close the distillery, thus protecting the legacy of her late husband’s business.
Louisa’s registered trademark proved to be very fortunate for Charles Nelson’s great-great-great grandchildren, Charlie & Andy Nelson. After researching the history of their family, some stories from a local butcher in town, discovering a copy of an old microfilm containing a newspaper article of the original whiskey recipe, and obtaining their great-great-great grandmothers trademark, they re-formed the business that had closed exactly 100 years earlier in 1909 during Prohibition.
With the spirit in their blood, Charlie and Andy followed their hearts, devoting their lives to resurrecting Nelson’s Green Brier Whiskey and producing top-quality product, appreciated by aficionados everywhere.

The turn around in the fortunes of Wrightbus, since the lows of 2019, has been quite remarkable and it’s clear that it’s now the dominant force in electric double-deckers at least.
In London, it’s almost become a standard bus now where battery-electric double-decker buses are specified although its single-decker version hasn’t quite replicated the success. From the large fleet within Metroline, here is WDE3121 (LK74TKE). It sports the new front for these buses, apparently designed to reduce passenger injuries in collisions. Although it does nothing for a design already challenged in the looks department.

Get on at Riccarton, 6.04pm.
University campus, a statue hit by sunlight. Not understanding many different languages. An oversize crow sitting on a silver birch. A man in a purple shirt leans against his car in a car park covered in scattered stones. Through the Park and Ride and along to a field, new crops and a rectangle marked out with thin sticks. Cross the bypass. An immediate line of traffic builds up. On the ledge in front someone has shaped Blu-Tac into an almost flower. A pub in Sighthill and people are sitting on benches outside as if it's warm, and one towerblock clearly condemned, lengths of wood protrude from the base of the raised first floor like its bones. Past the turn off for the prison. Stop in the dark under a railway bridge, and the small doorway to Gorgie Gospel Hall. An amusement arcade and behind the frosted glass window Christmas type lights blink on blue and green and red. A man says "Stimulus response". Down at Haymarket someone has tied a Sainsbury's carrier bag around their bicycle saddle to keep it from rain. In a thick French accent a girl says "Ridicule!". And another girl sits on her own in the window of a pizza restaurant. Now the sun is less. A photograph of a model in a clothes shop whose face is obscured by scaffolding. A repetitive drum beat. Concrete. Tulips are out on the roundabout at the top of Leith Walk. Then some familiar music. Past Shrubhill, and a large scale demolition, through the trees a young girl with blonde hair clambers up the side of one of the big mounds of rubble, and stands at the top looking sideways for another person. Another diversion. On the links a football pitch and a triangle around the goalmouth marked out in red and white tape. A man leans out of a window to smoke. Front gardens empty but for grass.
Cloudbank.
