This week's is 'Follow the Yellow Brick Road/You're Off to see the Wizard' from the Wizard of Oz. :). Yeah, there'll probably be a lot of songs from old musicals shared. Did ya know this year is the Wizard of Oz movie's 75th anniversary? :). And don't tell me that you haven't ever wanted a pair of shoes like Dorothy's; I lovelovelove those shoes!! :)<br />

Ok, Camp Doll Diaries actually officially started a few days ago, but we're all a little late jumping on the bandwagon over here, so my friends and I are going to be late registrations. ;). My friends and I are so very excited, and the counselor/director (aka VintageGirl) is running around like a crazy maniac to get our cabins and sign-up sheets and dining room and activities and....ok, I'll just stop there. Whew! :). Anyway, we're really looking forward to it, and VintageGirl says we will start camp next Friday. Till then, dear readers.....<div><br></div><div>Moi, the amazing, the awesome, Saige. Ok, just kidding. ;). I'll just sign it 'Saige'. See everyone around! </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>P.S. Yeah, I know Saige is a little crazy. ;).

It is MyAmericanGirl themed. The point of the game is to click these little buttons and have your character follow what the 'instructor' does for keeping this ball up in the air. Personally, I don't know why there would be an instructor for that, but, uh, whatever. ;). Maybe they were more going for volleyball. Anyway, enjoy the following pics! :)<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY41svWqutw4pqZZKV1DGhw7-dWmcO6NdWDR53Asb2CLJ4TWN2amwNCDTTlcBMCjOxovNhirTbfiNdV_0Pd3NAoe7h7_AXoocWtdQ0_lvzoaqn5ILx6___H7ABwOeqR9KJ-xxzVXN3YB0/s640/blogger-image-1253796141.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY41svWqutw4pqZZKV1DGhw7-dWmcO6NdWDR53Asb2CLJ4TWN2amwNCDTTlcBMCjOxovNhirTbfiNdV_0Pd3NAoe7h7_AXoocWtdQ0_lvzoaqn5ILx6___H7ABwOeqR9KJ-xxzVXN3YB0/s640/blogger-image-1253796141.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>These are the 'characters you have to pick from. :)</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5bgB_A0ns6xg7GoXzJ41__E8QF9uWzhtwxx9wMwsU4TQh8ruJgFUQwNWZhVVzKYdvunaog7vU9eKGf9cMmgRKIGZ3I_v4Upn8jMaqi6Q2NQGRmQ_zV6_nHHdakeYzXTiROYb7AdO_1hM/s640/blogger-image-1707416074.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5bgB_A0ns6xg7GoXzJ41__E8QF9uWzhtwxx9wMwsU4TQh8ruJgFUQwNWZhVVzKYdvunaog7vU9eKGf9cMmgRKIGZ3I_v4Upn8jMaqi6Q2NQGRmQ_zV6_nHHdakeYzXTiROYb7AdO_1hM/s640/blogger-image-1707416074.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-orRHIwvS-7MGXEu47b8WL2J9dVSL20DA3uJawCNPz2bKsvSvtnG5aQm8JRRzPJty7u9VFdMlDTVolFZ_zYKZDi78DJXn6nWBGtI2-BXgIwU6a98922BcRGqBYlY3-FpjtA-Y-l8UX_Q/s640/blogger-image--488146616.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-orRHIwvS-7MGXEu47b8WL2J9dVSL20DA3uJawCNPz2bKsvSvtnG5aQm8JRRzPJty7u9VFdMlDTVolFZ_zYKZDi78DJXn6nWBGtI2-BXgIwU6a98922BcRGqBYlY3-FpjtA-Y-l8UX_Q/s640/blogger-image--488146616.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoT-jRcSQMMoyQPNye07tZJ3NP_1-9m5EhTc6e57BR7VcZSgJGTncdWnflQr4D-JNnpaDnukrf7i_tKsJpQoJvNLsczEDbgbqbsLsiq6O9ibBn_LstIfB5FGlAiZ8dn3iInDQfqrzG2i0/s640/blogger-image-1610284023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoT-jRcSQMMoyQPNye07tZJ3NP_1-9m5EhTc6e57BR7VcZSgJGTncdWnflQr4D-JNnpaDnukrf7i_tKsJpQoJvNLsczEDbgbqbsLsiq6O9ibBn_LstIfB5FGlAiZ8dn3iInDQfqrzG2i0/s640/blogger-image-1610284023.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQRRcM92bR2jN0ZA9XBWzaAr3ZtpVXCoVHbmsND6Zarihelwd2KrniwUnE4GfHBeRq8y98X1jpe3pk3eZf_4mnp_q4GurGPd2helLxyUYZMkvlkled34wjJPj30RhnHrA-YjscYF_NFrY/s640/blogger-image--408623513.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQRRcM92bR2jN0ZA9XBWzaAr3ZtpVXCoVHbmsND6Zarihelwd2KrniwUnE4GfHBeRq8y98X1jpe3pk3eZf_4mnp_q4GurGPd2helLxyUYZMkvlkled34wjJPj30RhnHrA-YjscYF_NFrY/s640/blogger-image--408623513.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>There are also these options for outfits, other than the pink dress shown above.

Is the game cute? Yes, of course, and I like all the options for your character and her outfit. However, the actual gameplay can get really annoying. At times, the graphics can get stodgy, and you'll keep clicking the appropriate button and the character won't do anything. So the game says you missed and starts over. Can I say A.N.N.O.Y.I.N.G.? ;). The overall game idea was really cute, and a good idea for summer, but I definitely like the earlier AG game apps much better, like Gymtastic and Shave Ice. :).

:-)Hi, everyone! :-). This is probably going to be a post full of a lot of randomness and updates. For one thing, I'm hoping to have several new posts up by the end of the week, including a photostory,a review of one of the McDonald's Isabelle toys, and hopefully an old movie review as well. And, of course, the Vintage Fashion Friday will be up on Friday. ;-) <br />
<div>
Second, I want to say thank you so much to my three followers. :-). I never thought I'd have that many followers already in only a week or two. Also thank you for 200 pageviews!! Yay!</div>
<div>
Third, I am having a blog design done by the amazing <a href="http://autumnreadsandwritesallday.blogspot.com/p/designs.html">Autumn</a> which should be done soon. :-). Thank you, Autumn!!</div>
<div>
And finally, I might put up a post of some pictures of my pets. :-). I think that's about it. Thank you for reading, everyone! </div>

Kinda obsessed with it. ;). So I thought for this week's Fashion Friday I'd put together a 1920s outfit. And yes, I would walk around every single day wearing complete vintage clothes if I could (and if I could afford it.....). :). And no, I wouldn't care if people looked at me like I had two heads because I looked like I stepped out of a vintage time machine. :).

That means a three-day stagecoach trip with her friend Rhonda! The girls are fascinated by the other travelers, including a charming magician and a beautiful young woman with a sad past. But when Caroline's precious package goes missing, she realizes the culprit has to be a fellow passenger. She must unmask the thief––or her promise to Papa may be impossible to keep.</div><div><br></div><div>My opinions: It was a fun read. I love the Caroline character, although she can be a bit impulsive sometimes. The mystery part of the book was rather disappointing; I knew 'who had done it' about a quarter through the book. However, the story was engaging and fun, and even though I did know who had stolen the things, I was interested to find out how she/he would be unmasked, and <b>SPOILER SPOILER </b>what would happen to Elizabeth Bullard, the young woman, since she hadn't stolen anything and yet still acted suspicious.<b>SPOILERS OVER. </b>;). I would read it again, but most of the AG mysteries haven't been very intriguing in the 'mystery' area, but there again, that might just be because I've read fifty gabillion Nancy Drew mysteries. Ok, not fifty gabillion, but you get the idea. :). I would recommend this book for a fun and engaging story, but if you're looking for an intriguing mystery that will boggle your brain, that you won't find. That being said, I do think that it was a good, solid book, with a few twists and turns you wouldn't expect. And since I think the mysteries are longer than the regular books for the characters, and are the same price ($6.95), I in some ways like the mysteries better.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>VintageGirl</div>VintageGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09404012925853326601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254582789644850025.post-24622963584034375822014-05-23T08:59:00.001-07:002014-05-23T09:01:02.043-07:00Vintage Fashion Friday: The Ballerina-Length Skirt (1950s)The ballerina-length skirt was a popular fashion staple in the 1950s. With World War II over, and no more rationing, different silhouettes and styles could be experimented with. The ballerina length skirt was popular on dresses, usually paired with a cinched waist, to give a feminine or delicate look. <div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw0uQ7g8i2JIqKtjY7OppzKjfZU_BUDk1g1IC1NJtahZYoOZoL3XjSntN6oTUVcqivsrjapRr74584_aCiCb-glUlbiwMS-N97A9mzBpwmTjxb8I2szQEUi3TypjdFp_LLlfhbIbGSGYw/s640/blogger-image-1814958225.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw0uQ7g8i2JIqKtjY7OppzKjfZU_BUDk1g1IC1NJtahZYoOZoL3XjSntN6oTUVcqivsrjapRr74584_aCiCb-glUlbiwMS-N97A9mzBpwmTjxb8I2szQEUi3TypjdFp_LLlfhbIbGSGYw/s640/blogger-image-1814958225.jpg"></a></div>Wow, only 50 cents for a pattern. ;). </div><div>Photo credit: www.edelweisspatterns.com</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The style was based on the romantic tutu length, and now that the war was over, more people could afford to go places such as the ballet or theater. The romantic tutu has been said to have been at least introduced, if not invented, by Marie Tagilioni, most likely first in <i>La Sylphide </i>in 1832 or so. Since then, its been greatly used in the ballet world, as its many layers of movable tulle allow for great use of movement. Ok, now I'm going off on a tangent about ballet costumes. ;).

Which didn't particularly work. ;). I was kind of worries it wouldn't come off, because some of those permanent markers they use in thrift stores are really permanent. ;). Thankfully, it did come off with some vinegar cleaning spray and a paper towel. (Thanks, Mama! :) ). Snowy also had a few scuff marks on her head (seen in the above two pictures), and a sharpie worked really well for that. You can't tell the sharpie or the scuff marks were ever there! :). Yay!
