This was written a few years ago!  Recently someone posted in Doll Talk on Facebook asking how people who have started a business making dolls and doll clothing like the experience. If they made any new friends or noticed people treat them differently..ect. Lots of people post that they have had a blast and love all their new friends, and so on.  I have to say for me this whole Blythe doll thing has been more disappointing and odd then anything else. I liked this hobby more before I had an art page on Facebook, and joined countless groups. Up until now I kept quiet thinking if I posted negative post it would hurt my sales in my shop or reflect poorly on my art page, but you know what, I really don't care anymore! Everything about being in the hobby has pretty much sucked since day one. I actually stumbled upon Blythe dolls when I was reading an art book about big eyed artwork. Inside the book were paintings mostly based on these Blythe dolls. Being a self -taught artist I ...

              W oke up this morning feeling pretty good for the first time in a long time.                                                            ~   Just had to tell someone ~ Finally the temperatures dropped down into the low 70's which is a relief  because it's been sticky, humid and in the high 90's for most of the summer. Right now it's overcast out and raining ever so lightly. It's just the perfect stay at home Sunday kind of  weather.  I woke up today in almost a Zen kind of mood. Feels nice to be able to take deep breaths and relax. because all summer I've felt like I been just sitting on a bed of hot coals. For the last two years I've been feeling so angry, depressed and boxed in. Just feeling completely disoriented with no sense of direction. I think a lot of us h...

I was reading an article this morning about the tenement museum that's located in the lower east side of Manhattan. I only noticed the article because someone had reposted it with the caption only a true New Yorker would look at an apartment in the tenement museum and think 'that's a great apartment, I could really do something with that space.' I laughed to myself because if they loved that apartment they would have loved the one I grew up in.  T he apartment they spoke of was in a building that was built in 1863 and housed it's last occupants in 1935. As I poured through the pictures I was like,WOW that looks like the building I grew up in. The building I lived in was built in 1910 some of the apartments I saw in my building throughout years including my own,looked like they should have been apart of the tenement museum.   T he building I grew up in was also located in the lower east side. My dad got the apartment after him and my mom split up. A year or so l...

Lately on twitter there's all these delete Facebook/ delete Instagram  post. One guy wrote delete Facebook and Instagram it's filled with fake people trying to out fake each other!. I was thinking to myself. Oh, as oppose to twitter where everyone is so genuine, lmfao. Do you know how many Darth Vader accounts are on twitter!, or people claiming to be a devil worshiper or the devil himself!  Once I commented on a post put out by one those Darth Vader accounts. Next thing I knew I had this person direct messaging me asking me if I was flirting with the dark side. In which I replied. No, I think the dark side is flirting with me! It's like people have forgotten why social media even exist. For those of you who don't know or the ones who pretend not to know I'll tell you!. It's to give 90% of us a break from our mundane lives and or reality.  I only said 90% cause there's that 10% who claim all social media is fake and they only use what!?!, twitter and ma...
