PERSONAL FUN FACT: I have to say that this Barbie stole my heart the first time I laid eyes on her around Christmas 2018. Colleen and I were cruising the toy section at our local Wal-Mart, hoping to find on sale Harry Potter dollies. As we wandered the aisle, I spotted a copious amount of these Pioneer Woman Barbies on display. My first thought was, "Holy crap, this is the coolest idea ever!" In my travels in home ware sections at stores, I often come across The Pioneer Woman merchandise, and here and there I may have even bought something (like one of those jar cups with lid/straw combos). I always thought that the designs of the items were cute, even if things were often over priced. To think that The Pioneer Woman is so popular that she inspired a Barbie in her image is WAY cool! I am a sucker for any sort of celebrity/pop culture doll. And the fact that The Pioneer Woman, aka Ree Drummond, is famous for homey stuff, makes this doll even more awesome to me. Martha Stewart Barbie much?!!! Anyways, I love that this cutie has red hair like Ree and additional freckles. Even if she wasn't sold with a temptingly huge kitchen set choked full of loads of dolly sized food, I still would have been intrigued. I desperately hoped that this doll would go on some kind of sale so I could add her to my collection someday. She was originally marked at $45, which quite frankly is way out of my price range (and even if I did have nearly $50 to blow on one doll, I wouldn't spend it on a Barbie). I started losing hope that there would be any sort of markdown on these sets. Then one early morning in May 2019, I happened to strike luck. I was doing my routine Friday morning grocery run to Wal-Mart, when I popped in the toy section. I don't make a habit of this, mostly because Barbie stuff doesn't go on sales too often, and Monster High and Bratz aren't sold anymore. But on this occasion I needed to look at fashion packs, to see if I could find something to fit my newly acquired, very nude, curvy Barbie. After picking out an adorable Chococat inspired fashion for Miss Chambray Chic, I scoped out the other toys. It was on the bottom shelf beneath the Harry Potter and Disney dolls that I found a lone Pioneer Woman box. I figured, "what the heck, I'll check her price to see if she's on sale." I thought that maybe she'd be $30 now, still more than I wanted to pay. But lo and behold, when I scanned her, Barbie rang up at FIFTEEN DOLLARS! I was so shocked, that I double checked, thinking there had to be a mistake. Nope, she was indeed only $15, which was exactly what my cheap self wanted to pay. I was so excited that even took a picture of Barbie and told Colleen of the find. She told me later that she was distracted all day at work, thinking of this fabulous Pioneer Woman doll. Out of the box, this gal is just as stunning. Her hair felt gross upon first inspection, but a boil wash revealed stunning, saran tresses. I love her closed lip head mold too. I think it fits this doll more so than Barbie's toothy, cheesy head mold would have. It's not all that often that a Barbie tempts me as much as this doll. I even looked for her online to see if I could get a deal. But I'm so glad I waited patiently, because I got her for such a steal. Did I need yet another Barbie kitchen? Absolutely not, but this has to be one of the most unique doll concepts I have ever seen!
Well technically this is two UPS packages and a Fed ex package. Pullip Merl and Dal Heart Macaron came from Pullipstyle, two of the POP! vinyl figures and the Rainbow Dash keychain came from Hot Topic in addition to a couple of tshirts and everything else came from BBTS. BBTS has an option that lets you group orders so this is like two-three months worth of stuff from them.
my bedroom, its a loft apartment which explains how weird it is lol. My dad made the platform bed for me.
My Chococat pill case, which happens to have a lot of... sections for pills. BUT! Instead, I use it for all my little stickers ^^
I don't know why but I always feel the need to do my designs on the entire lid even though the top third doesn't even show up once you put them in the faceplate....
Vina got a bit of pain added to her eyes, some re-engineering of her hair (along with a hair cut), and took advantage of the generous cut of the Chococat top to indulge in some layering.
This is my Sanrio keychain collection. There aren't really that many but what they lack in size they sure make up for in cuteness! The black Chococat at the bottom right hand corner is the one i use everyday for my keys and he goes everywhere with me : ). The rest are just displayed in various places around my room.
Eu sei.... Eu sei! Os coelhinhos saem geralmente das cartolas! Mas aqui esta coelhinha resolveu saltar de uma cenourinha e trazer um cestinho de ovos de chococate! Digam lá que não é simpática.......

BOX DATE: 2018
MANUFACTURER: Mattel
PERSONAL FUN FACT: I wanted an excuse for a LONG time to get my hands on some Hello Kitty themed threads for my Barbies. I mostly was made aware of this fashion line via eBay. I spend way too much time trying to identify secondhand doll clothes on there, and I tend to find listings for brand new Barbie fashions rather often. I admit even though I know I don't have any of the Hello Kitty ones secondhand, I always have to take a peek at the listings. So naturally I was keen to buy this fashion pack when I "needed" an outfit for my recently acquired Chambray Chic "curvy" Barbie, who was without clothes. I waste no time and am never cheap about clothing my dolls. If a gal or guy needs an outfit, I am going to spend time investigating my options. After all, half the fun in collecting dolls revolves around their wardrobe (which is why molded or painted clothes on dollies is one of my pet peeves). Anyways, rather than settle for a handmade outfit from storage or some not so flattering getup I already had, I thought this was the opportune time to learn more about the world of modern Barbie fashions. And I already had my sights set on Hello Kitty fashions before arriving at Wal-Mart. There weren't many different ones to choose from that day, but I really loved the design of this ChocoCat dress. Firstly, I LOVE black cats. Secondly, I am way too obsessed with doll food, so this fast food print was a big yes from me. And thirdly, well I have a Hello Kitty themed checkbook that features pages which have a similar print (only not with ChocoCat, but with Hello Kitty herself). This might sound silly, but my Hello Kitty themed checkbook makes me so happy that it makes writing the checks (and losing my money) less painful! Hello Kitty has been a part of my identity since I was not even eleven years old. And while I don't feel the need to wear her from head to toe anymore, I think it's nice to have dolls as an outlet to express my former 12 year old desires!

★ Hello Kitty ハローキティ, è il più noto personaggio dell'azienda giapponese Sanrio che produce biglietti d'auguri, gadget, articoli da regalo.
★ Hello Kitty, buffa gattina dolce e curiosa, è caratterizzata dal fiocco rosso sull'orecchio sinistro (talvolta il fiocco è rimpiazzato da un fiore a cinque petali o sono presenti entrambi, più raramente indossa altri accessori) e dall'assenza della bocca (eccezione fatta per la serie animata in cui invece la bocca è visibile).
★ Intorno al personaggio di Hello Kitty ruota un universo di pupazzi dalle fattezze infantili. Creata nel 1974 a Tokyo e registrata nel 1976, Hello Kitty è attualmente un trademark molto forte che genera un fatturato di miliardi di dollari attraverso un mechandising variegato che va da biglietti di buon compleanno a videogiochi a gioielli, tostapane, biciclette, chitarre e ogni anno vede moltiplicarsi le offerte. Rappresenta un fenomeno di costume che riguarda non solo le ragazzine, ma anche donne adulte. In Italia è stata ufficialmente importata da Nicola Bartolini Carrassi.
★ Inizialmente la gattina bianca venne chiamata Kitty White dal nome di uno dei gatti di Alice nel libro Attraverso lo specchio e quel che Alice vi trovò di Lewis Carroll, poiché negli anni settanta la cultura britannica era molto in voga fra le ragazzine giapponesi. La frase Hello Kitty deriva dalla traduzione non letterale del nome del personaggio, che rappresenta la principale fonte di ispirazione: maneki neko ossia il gatto del benvenuto (in inglese più propriamente 'welcoming cat' e non 'hello kitty'). I detrattori hanno insinuato che il personaggio di Hello Kitty assomigli a Miffy di Dick Bruna e che dunque non avrebbe nulla di originale.
★ Il mondo di Hello Kitty include una gamma completa di amici e familiari. Quando nel 1999 fu creato il fidanzato di Hello Kitty,"Dear Daniel", i disegnatori presero il suo nome dal film del 1971 Melody, il cui protagonista era Mark Lester nel ruolo di un ragazzo di undici anni chiamato Daniel alle prese con il primo amore, e la cui colonna sonora era dei Bee Gees. Dal 2004 ha persino un gatto domestico lei stessa, chiamato Charmmy Kitty e un cucciolo di criceto di nome Sugar. Charmmy assomiglia ad Hello Kitty, ma il suo aspetto è più felino, meno antropomorfo. Charmmy Kitty è un regalo del papà di Hello Kitty, George White, e Sugar di Dear Daniel.
★ Come tutti i personaggi della Sanrio, Hello Kitty è disegnata nello stile "kawaii". Il termine non ha un'esatta traduzione in italiano, indica qualcosa di minuto e grazioso, carino, un po' lezioso ed infantile, fatto di animaletti antropomorfi, gatti senza artigli, effimero e colorato, spesso di rosa. Tale stile, ormai dilagante, trova però anche numerosi detrattori.
★ La risposta ufficiale di Sanrio alla domanda: «perché Hello Kitty non ha la bocca?» è che lei «parla con il cuore, senza utilizzare un linguaggio particolare». È stata avanzata l'ipotesi che il successo di Hello Kitty possa dipendere da questa assenza di bocca che permette ad ognuno di attribuirle i propri stati d'animo del momento, rendendola un personaggio simpatico nel senso etimologico.
★ Hello Kitty è stata commercializzata sin dagli anni settanta negli Stati Uniti. Dal 1983 ha il ruolo di abasciatore dell'UNICEF presso i bambini. Il successo, fino a farne un vero oggetto di culto, si ebbe nella seconda metà degli anni novanta, quando celebrità come Mariah Carey l'adottarono come status symbol. Molte celebrità americane hanno contribuito al successo della gattina:Ricky Martin, Mariah Carey, Cameron Diaz, Heidi Klum, Steven Tyler, Christina Aguilera, Carmen Electra, Mandy Moore, Raven-Symoné, Varla Jean Merman, Paris e Nicky Hilton sono stati fotografati con oggetti che ritraggono Hello Kitty. La cantante Lisa Loeb, che è la testimonial della chitarra rosa Hello Kitty Stratocaster, ha ammesso di essere una vera fan ed ha persino dedicato alla micetta un intero album chiamato Hello Lisa.
