More pictures of Alice Dollen! She is, in fact, wearing slippers, since someone asked. And the date on her card says only "2009," woe.

(OMG YOU GUYS! THE YELLOW BARBIE CORVETTE I HAD AS A KID! omg. We gave all our Barbie stuff away when I was in college and my sister was in her early teens. If I went out and bought another one for Alice, no matter how cheap, thereby bringing MOAR CLUTTER into the house, my mother would kill me.)

Jay-Z on Rihanna: Imagine She's Your Sister or Mom; Chris Brown: Sorry 'for what transpired.' Okay, look. I'm "sorry for what transpired" in Australia. You, Chris Brown, beat on Rihanna. And you beating on Rihanna didn't just happen to blow through like an act of nature. There's a difference.

Okay, the Watchmen cupcakes are adorable.

[ppyajunebug.livejournal.com]

Damn, now I'm going to need to bring cupcakes to the Watchmen midnight showing. On top of my traditional Oreos and Twizzler Peel-N-Pulls.

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

LMAO @ that candy bar. I think I'll pass, thanks.

That Georgetown thing is CREEPY.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was like, WHO DOES THAT? I mean, later in the article it gets worse--they may be using the same nickname for more than one perpetrator, they're not sure, but there was also an attempted rape involved, which is awful. And yet... that happens, you know? It's all too common a crime, unfortunately. It's the stranger standing there STARING at the women, or trying to "cuddle" them, that freaks me out so bad because WHO DOES THAT?

I had the exact same Barbie Corvette when I was a kid. Awesome.

[wildcatlizzie.livejournal.com]

What the hell is a vampire mini kit?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Were you ever able to drive it? Because my controller thing sucked ass.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

A what where?

SMOKEY!

I really want to know everything about it, but at the same time I really love the mystery wtf-ery of it all.

[visceralvamp.livejournal.com]

The Watchmen cupcakes bring me joy. Also; aw, but I watched the Dollhouse premiere. It was odd, but I did watch it. :/

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

I am beyond freaked out! I hope someone beats the crap out of the guy. He deserves to have a few permanent scars.

[maudelynn.livejournal.com]

Amen on the Chris Brown 'apology' being ludicrous.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I'm totally on top of things, can you tell?

What the hell--? I have no idea. Except that that IS the Hot Topic glitter sitting to the right of it.

[keenai.livejournal.com]

NO I WAS NOT. Which is why I hated it. Plus the remote was connected to the car, so you couldn't even really go anywhere.

I got a red Corvette a little later, and then the 57 Chevy when that came out. The Chevy was awesome because we could fit more dolls/friends in it. Corvette was good for Barbie going on dates, heh. But both were better than the remote controlled thingy because even though they had no remote, they offered more freedom.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, that's fantastic.

[aestasbeyond.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the stalker link. I've been stalker by the same (much older?) guy for the last three years, and finally reported him last year. He's in jail now. It's nice to know I did the right thing. : /

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I understand on one level that since this will most likely go to court, he doesn't want to admit to anything, but--seriously, fail.

[deadwoodmt.livejournal.com]

WATCHMEN CUPCAKE WIN! Those are really pretty cool! :D

Also. As to the person in the room? NOT COOL. REALLY CREEPY, actually. Makes me all shuddery safe in my home FAR from that location.

[deadwoodmt.livejournal.com]

Oh. And I'm pretty sure Dollhouse will get better. This is just the pilot. Mind, it was interesting, but it has a lot of room to grow.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I totally just wrapped the cord around the controller and stuffed it on top of the luggage rack.

Usually I had Barbie packing up her shit and burning rubber out of town to go on An Adventure, so the passenger seat was always taken up by her luggage.

[diddakoi.livejournal.com]

If I went out and bought another one for Alice, no matter how cheap, thereby bringing MOAR CLUTTER into the house, my mother would kill me.

Doooo it.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh God. Of course you did! Have you read (everyone, say it with me) The Gift of Fear? Someone that persistent could have escalated to violence eventually. You so did the right thing.

Dove Promises and Hershey's Bliss, two perfectly delicious chocolates, market themselves as some sort of spa retreat in a metallic wrapper.

The Valentine's Hershey's Bliss bags were so annoying that even the post-holiday discount couldn't make me buy them. They looked like a bulk package of spermicide inserts.
