What type of paint is most permanent for painting on plastic dolls such as Barbie’s? Does it need a top coat to seal it?

How much would the “left-eye” barbie doll from TLC be worth?

Sunday, April 27th, 2008
nicole asked:


I have had the doll for 7 years, and everything is still in tact, the price tag is still on it. I was wondering how much would the doll be worth now that Lisa “left-eye” Lopes is deceased.

Doodlestuff asked:


I am back to losing weight again and would like some tips on how to avoid a Barbie doll figure look. I have a large bust at normal weight (DDD) and slim hips. I’m 5′4″. What fashion suggestions would you recommend that would make me look less top heavy? I have collar length brunette hair and am middle aged.

Old doll/Barbie collectors in Toronto/GTA?

Friday, April 25th, 2008
kiubi_kitsune asked:


There’s a box of Barbies and other similar dolls in my basement. They are in good condition. Some of them were my mothers and some of them were mine. We’d rather not see them thrown away, so we’re hoping there’s some sort of place in the GTA that collects old dolls and the like. Google hasn’t helped me. If all else fails, we’ll just give them to the Salvation Army. (Would that be our best bet anyway?)
Thank you for your time!

Is it ok at age 19 to still have dolls and collect them?

Monday, April 21st, 2008
marm212 asked:


I still collect dolls and toys. Now that I’m older I keep most of them in their boxes.
My friends and family say this is geeky and weird of me, like the guy from the 40 Year Old Virgin
I met a guy once who said he was surprised that I collect toys b/c I “looked normal”
What do you think?
