World Barbie Dolls

| |

Recently, they started coming out with collector edition Barbie dolls dressed in ethnic clothing from around the world. I own only one, a doll dressed as a Japanese maiden. I'm hoping to find one possibly from China, and to get the other one for Japan, a Ken doll dressed as a Samurai warrior, they go together like Wallace and Gromit, cheese and crackers, u get the idea, lmao.

Japan. Sorry to be so predictable, but there is just something really cool and pretty about a doll dressed in a beautiful silk kimono





China

England

Italy
Africa, Kwaanza doll
India

Spain

The 11 Tag Post

| |

Here are the rules.
1) Post these rules.
2) Post 11 random things about yourself
3) Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post
4) Create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer
5) Go to their blog and tell them they’ve been tagged
6) No cop-outs in the tagging section like, “If you are reading this” or “if you follow me”. You have to legitimately tag people!
Pt. 2
1.)I'm the biggest tomboy alive! I'd rather dress in jeans and a rockband shirt than mini skirt and cute t-shirt.
2.)When I was a kid, I watched all the stuff my parents watched on TV and in movies, like Are You Being Served and Keeping Up Appearances on TV, James Bond and Star Wars on the screen.
3.)In high school, I was a total dork! Probably not all that different now...
4.)I wish I could go back to the 1960s, see what the 'Swinging London' times were like. Maybe catch a Beatles concert?
5.)My celeb crushes: Jamie Bamber from Law and Order: UK. Those baby blues of his melt me, and Jim Sturgess from Across the Universe, cuz he looks like a cross between a young Paul McCartney and a young George Harrison, and his accent, omg, gorgeous!!

6.)I still play with Legos, even at age 21
I so gotta try this!!!
7.)When it comes to movies, I love movies with music and singing(Across the Universe, Goodbye Mr. Chips, etc), action(Rambo, etc), futuristic, sci-fi(Freejack, Blade Runner, etc.) Romance(Sleepless in Seattle, Love Actually, Ghost, etc), comedy(Monty Python's The Holy Grail, Caddyshack, etc)
My dad got me hooked on this one!!
8.)In my opinion, school feels like prison. You're here for a certain amount of time, the food sucks, you have teachers telling you what to do like prison guards and you're surrounded by annoying, stupid people.
9.)One dream I want to accomplish some day is to travel to another country, maybe England, China, Australia, Japan, Italy or maybe Russia. Russian history is a fascination of mine
10.)I'm completely fascinated by world history
11.)I have 3 different game systems to play video games on: GameBoy Advance, PS2, Wii which I play Just Dance on alot and I mean ALOT. Must explain how I dropped nearly 30 pounds!

6: What is your opinion of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (or if you haven't seen them, do you want to watch them)

My New Home.....

| |

Well, after my dad died, me and my sister, along with my mom, started the long and arduous process of moving things out and over to her place. I hate this, I feel like I'm imposing on her, but I think she really appreciates me and my sis doing the housework for her during the day when we're home and she isn't. I think she appreciates that more than anything. And plus, she says that me and her are her comedic amusement, mainly with what we may say, or something we do.

So here are pictures of my "new home", Delhi Township, right outside of Cincinnati, OH.



The Serpentine Wall near the Ohio River

The Museum Center in Queensgate

Proctor and Gamble, or what me and my sis call it, the Phil and Lil towers. From a cartoon called Rugrats, twins on there called Phil and Lil

Billie's. Local convenient store


St. Dominic Church. Right up the street from me, on Pedretti Ave.


Riverbend Music Center. Not cheap and also the site of a mass accident in the 1970s, 11 fans were trampled to death outside during a Who concert

Cincinnati Underground Railroad Museum


Chili, a Cincy fave

Paul Brown Stadium, where the Cincy Bengals play, football team, they don't win that much, so don't make a big deal about them, most of them are criminals anyway!!

Macy's. I pass this store every morning on my way to school

The Daniel Carter Beard Bridge or what everyone else calls it, the "Big Mac" Bridge, cuz it looks like the hamburger from McDonald's

Monroe, OH. Outlet mall

Local college. College of Mt. St. Joseph.

Cincinnati Public Library

Delhi Middle School

Great American Ballpark, where the Cincy Reds play. Baseball team, also where Paul McCartney played recently
