I'm Still Alive

Hey guys!

So I've definitely been MIA lately. I haven't felt very inspired to write/take photos much lately, but now I'm back and have several posts planned, including photos from a snow photo shoot with my American Girl's and DAC Rapunzel, a new Barbie doll review/photos - my first from The Barbie Look Collection - and a new doll on the way... well, new to me... I scored a fantastic 10" First Day of Shiz Elphaba Madame Alexander doll on eBay last week. For those who are not familiar, Elphaba, commonly known as the Wicked Witch of the West from Oz, is the lead character in Broadway's record breaking show Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz. Wicked is based off of Gregory Maguire's book, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. Both the show and the book are fantastic. Anyway, Madame Alexander has produced several dolls based off of Elphaba, Glinda, and other citizens of Oz, all of which are gorgeous.

My particular doll is a Limited Edition of 300, which makes her fairly difficult to come by. The 8" version is easier to come across, but I prefer 10" Madame Alexander dolls. They're depicted as older. I'm glad I held out and cannot wait to see her in person!
