She's Released!

SIS Chandra (2014 SIS Fan Club Exclusive Doll) and Coffey share the same complexion

Coffey has been freed from her plastic confines and the spot that was on her right cheek has been removed.  This is a quick post to share that her complexion is the same as So in Style Baby Phat Chandra's (the doll in the purple dress).  Chandra was refashioned as the 2014 So in Style-exclusive Fan Club Doll, first introduced here.

Here is one additional photo of the two from a different angle.

Happy Tuesday!

Fancy Flowers #20 Fashionista

Barbie Fashionista #20 Fancy Flowers

I had zero plans of purchasing the doll that I initially thought was So In Style Kara revamped.  This was based on her prototype image.  Then actual photos surfaced on Facebook of #20 Fashionista, Fancy Flowers. I was still on the fence about purchasing, however.

It was the $7.94 price on Amazon.com with free shipping for me since I am a Prime member, that prompted the purchase. Wow, is what I thought when I opened the shipping box.  This doll is gorgeous!  I absolutely love her deep coffee brown complexion.  Thus, her name is Coffey.

Being dark brown with auburn highlights, her hair is pleasantly darker than the prototype's.

Unlike the doll that shares her head sculpt, Tyra (a.k.a. Pants So Pink), Coffey has high-heeled feet.

Tyra and Coffey

Above is a comparison photo of both lovely ladies that share the same new head sculpt.

I have not removed Coffey from her plastic confines yet, but will do so soon to see if I can remove that nasty milky looking spot from her cheek.  If it cannot be removed, I will exchange her for another in hopes that the replacement is blemish free.

Walmart-Exclusive My Life As Doll Commercial Re-Published!

A little boy shops at Walmart with Mom in this Walmart Christmas commercial.

I have seen the following commercial aired on TVOne, an African American-owned network, and more recently on OWN (the Oprah Winfrey Network). A search for it online was futile, so when I caught it again on TVOne, I rewound the DVR, paused it a few seconds before the commercial would replay, and grabbed my iPad to record it. 

The commercial is about a little boy and his mother shopping at Walmart for a special Christmas gift before they visit the home of a father and daughter.

I transcribed the narration and dialog as follows:

Narration: It's that time of year when we pick out just the right gifts for those we love the most. (Mother asks the boy, "See anything you like?" The boy sees the My Life As dolls and gasps! He removes a doll from the shelf; the box bumps his forehead. He turns to his mother and says, "This is it, Mom! I want this!" Mom says, "I think that's the right choice.") 

Narration: But the enjoyment truly comes when we learn to give to others... and it doesn't matter how big or small. What matter's most is that it comes from the heart." They enter the home they are visiting.  The boy tells the girl, "Merry Christmas!" as he hands her the wrapped doll. The girl, who appears to be the daughter of the man they are visiting, is very happy to receive the doll. Finally, the man proposes to the little boy's mother and presents her with a boxed diamond ring.  The boy gives a "yes!" gesture after his Mom accepts the proposal.  

My Motto:  All is well that ends well particularly when dolls and diamonds are involved.

:-)
