Plastic Paradise ia a buy/sell/trade/forum I have not always found the easiest to navigate. In the past, I have only gone there to get in on the amazing used sale deals on clothes, shoes, what have you. And my transactions have always been perfect, smooth, quick, excellent. A while back because of the unfortunate event of a "bad dolly deal" tighter security measures had to be taken which required me to visit more often in order to access the marketplace once again. My access had been restricted since I never logged in to do anything but shop and for a while I stayed away thinking it was best for my wallet anyway, but after a while I wanted in again and with the help of a PP administrator who is also a flickr contact, I was able to post my way back in and through doing so I discovered what a great community Plastic Paradise really is, and what a difference it makes to post and discuss Blythe stuff in a place where everyone loves Blythe. The expertise, advice, and support is just wonderful. Also, they seem to have recently installed a system which alerts you when you have a new message if you're logged in. At least I think its new. I don't remember ever getting alerted when I had a new message in the past. Whenever I would inquire after something in the market place, I would just keep checking bask to see if a response came in. Yes, I just bought a couple of pairs of Blythe shoes from cybermelli's cleanout sale. They're loafers. I need to get myself a pair as well. : )
Erica, another PP administrator has announced that Plastic Paradise will become
Blythe Kingdom on October 22nd. I love the new graphic and I can't wait to see what other new improvements they make since I plan to visit more often from now on.
In other news, I am also awaiting, another doll. No, not a Blythe! Another Barbie! I know! What's happening right? Well what's happening is too many people on flickr are taking pics of Barbies that I absolutely fall in love with on the spot. This one is
Trixie, inspired by a character in the
Speed Racer movie which I did not see. It seems I cannot resist a little black bob and a clever side long glance. It's all
mimimaus2009's fault. When I saw the set of twins I just flipped and started looking all over for her, who she was, how much.
Things in the works, ummm I still have that thermal changing orange saran re-root which I shamefully admit has taking me almost a year to finish.
It's getting down to the wire today with my two girls, Molly and Sabine for sale on ebay. There are more watchers for Molly than Sabine which I didn't expect since she's the least finished looking. But then she is cheaper. We'll see what happens.
