dolls out of the box

Dear Diary,

this year I went on holiday to Tuscany. Wondy didn't want to come (she prefered sitting in the pool at home - she thought Tuscany was too hot and dry), so I took Batty and Red with me, who were both very excited to go on holiday and see new places.

Chapter one


The trip in the car was very long and hot - so, when we finally arrived, we were very tired. We put on our pyjamas and relaxed. I listened to music, played computer games and had a nice and cold drink. Batty had a huge beer and Red relaxed with a good book and a green smoothie ( she said she needed that to fill up her chlorophyll?)








Chapter two

On the next day we went on a tour of the place where we were staying. It was an old castle - I had to show Batty and Red around and explain them many things. The most interesting was the fireplace. Unfortunatelly it was too hot to make a fire.










There were no ghosts in the castle only a lot of cats. They looked quite harmless during daytime, but were very loud an noisy at night. But I had my hammer with me, so nothing could happen.

This is what the garden of our apartment looked like.













On the first day we went for a walk in the little town.















Batty liked the place so much that she decided to paint a picture. I didn't know she could paint.


At the end of the day we...













Chapter three - Visit to Siena

This was our first visit to a nearby town. We travelled in a backpack - it was very hot. So, during a little stop in a park, we got out and sat on a bench - much better.



The most interesting part of the town was the dome...









the others also wanted a picture in front of this important sight.


At the end of the sightseeing we had a little break in a bar.











Chapter four - San Gimignano

The next day we visited an old town that is very famous for it's many towers.



We climbed up the highest tower.



After climbing the tower we were tired and had a little rest in the park.





Chapter five

Today we spent a day at home, in the garden of our holiday cottage. It was very hot so we did a little sunbathing - not as good as on the beach, but it was OK.


















You know that Red is very interested in plants. So she collected many plants for her "little holiday book".















Chapter six

We also found a new friend. She is from the Regal Academy. Well, not as good as DC Superheroes High, but OK. Her name is Joy LeFrog. I think I'll call her Froggy. We'll take her home with us.












Final Chapter

Well, our holiday is already over. But we decided to celebrate it and have a little "after-holiday party" with cheese, salami, bread and Chianti wine.










Maybe we will give a bigger party for all our DC Superhero friends - but that needs a little more preparation.

It is very hot, so water and palm trees (even if they are not real) are the perfect place to be in. This month's Moxie is Tristen. As always she's carrying her bag with her with all the things a Moxie needs. Bags are her passion. They always go perfectly with the outfit she is wearing.

The circus show goes on. We have got a lot of new acrobatic performances. Especially the cats have prepared many exciting things. Let's get started.

Here comes the first performance. The two Torelei Stripes sisters are balancing gracefully on a tight rope. Well ... it's not exactly a rope , it's more a bar. But they were a little afraid of falling down from a thin rope.

Next come the Werecat Twins on their scooter. They have to jump through a ring of fire. Not something cats like doing - but they are very brave.

The third performance act is again high up in the air. Cathrine had to drink a lot of whiskey to be able to do this. She is very much afraid of heights.










The last performance act of the cats is Kitty on her trampoline. Here she comes!







The audience is very impressed, so some other dolls have decided to present their performances .
Here come three Frankies. The big 17" Frankie has got great control over the other two, who don't seem very happy about this situation.



Here comes a juggling act. Gwen is presenting her skills. She is really born for this and is enjoying the applause.


Shelley Lagoona is ending a successful evening in the circus with her performance in the water. Let's hope she has trained her pet Neptuna well.

Here comes Gavin, the only Moxie Boy.

Some new dolls joined my collection recently. And here they are...


As she was not able to get a job in the Freak du Chic Show, Wonder Woman is now looking forward to a career as a professional wrestler. She is still looking for a name and a partner for the next royal rumble.

I thought my Ever After High collection was complete, but then I saw Rosabella and ... well ... I had to have her.



Birthday doll No. 1. New Simba Yuko from "Mia and Me" . I think she is very cute and I love her inset eyes.










Birthday doll No. 2. Originally I was supposed to get her as a reward for achieving a goal ( like the thinks you decide at New Year that you want to manage... fitness, health, weight...). I didn't reach the goal, but got her as a birthday present . Another Tonner doll- 22 " Glinda, from the Wizard of Oz collection.

Let's go on with the Moxie Teenz Calendar. This month it is Nellie's turn. She is really a Melrose Moxie, but with a brown wig.

The circus show goes on and the ghouls have prepared many new performances. Here they are:

















But wait ... Where did the third Cleo come from?
Well, it's true - a third Cleo doll joined my collection recently. She was not very happy to be only Cleo 3rd, so, to make her happy, I gave her her own pet... what pet suits an Egyptian princess more than a crocodile.















The audience longed for some magic. So here comes "Gigi the Great" with her two magical performances.
First she has the power over electricity ...



Gigi also likes to do magic with water...


















The Ghoul Fair has also expanded...

And there is also a Merry-Go-Round.











Finally, here are the newest additions to my MH collection - flea market finds: Torelei 2nd (I call her Tony), Spectra and a new Draculaura(I call her Dawn).

The Freak du Chic Show has come to town. Frankie Six did a good job to start the show.



















She decided that the performers should all be Ghouls - Well, it's a freak show, isn't it? Wonderwoman will have to find a new job (she already has an idea for a new career ) And Kitty Cheshire ... - we'll see!

Here are the new additions to my collection.
Finally I got her. I've been wanting a Miette doll since they first came out. So, here she is.

Then, another Tonner doll - I think they are gorgeous. And ... it's another Wonder Woman doll.

Last but not least. From the Mattel DC Superhero Girls collection - Cheetah.

Pattie wanted to relax a little. Being in the same room with many Moxie Teenz can be a little challenging. So, she decided to do some shopping. What Moxies like to buy most are ... shoes. Well and some clothes to go with the shoes.. and bags and jewelery and ...

It's April's Fool Day - so the task is: find the fake Moxie Teen.
Tanja (my Tattoo Diva doll) decided she wanted to be a Moxie this month. She has many things in common with the Moxies : a similar face, a great interest in fashion and high heels and she likes to party.

My dolls are longing for some entertainment - so there is nothing better than a circus for having fun. There are many things to be organized and prepared. So... let's get started!
Here comes the ringmaster ... Well, it's another Frankie she was on sale at the local toy store - so I had to have her. She has a lot of work ahead.

There are already some applicants with great talents. Wonder Woman no. 5 (I think ... I lost count )

Or maybe Kitty Cheshire...

The two applicants are surely talented - but it's a freak show, so Frankie Six will probably prefer ghouls. We'll see.

Leigh is very happy that the weather is gettig a little better and that she can go out for a walk, but she is not so delighted that she has to put on boots. Well, you can't take a walk in the nature on high heels.

Here are two new additions to our DC Superhero Girls collection.
Big...

and small...

Carnival in Dollietown is a funny thing. This year out "big headed" dolls decided to dress up and celebrate. And here they come...
Here are our two Blythe dolls.

Our Basaak doll as a little bear - is it Winnie the Pooh?

Her come the Pullips ...

Last but not least, the Tangkou dolls. Alice is not awake, yet. The other two are a little sceptical if they can wake her up before the party.
