About Dolls

Groshan Fabiola asked:


On the previous season of Pussycat Dolls Present, the Dolls, together with founder Robin Antin, presented a reality show entitled “Search for the Next Doll,” which eventually picked one lucky girl to be named the Next Doll. Unfortunately, fan favorite Chelsea Korka wasn’t able to grab the title, but she nonetheless made a good impression on Robin Antin, who offered her a place in The Paradiso Girls, a European version of the burlesque-inspired sing-and-dance group.

Chelsea Korka recently made an appearance with Melissa Reyes at a CW Network event, where the two were featured with Robin, as they were giving advice to a new group of girls who made it to season two of Pussycat Dolls Present, Girlicious. This may have led fans to think that the alums will be having a part in the new season, but Chelsea revealed otherwise.

Chelsea wrote, “UNFORTUNATELY, I am not in the second season of Pussycat Dolls Presents: Girlicious. It would have been nice, but I was already hard at work with The Paradiso Girls. As usual, I had lots of very hard dance routines to learn from Robin and Mikey AND I had songs to record. I was playing catch up with the group because The Paradiso Girls were formed months before I became the last member. SO, that is why I am not in the second season.”

This may seem as bad news to the eager fans who would like to see more of her on television, but she assured them that despite not being on the show, they will be having more chances of seeing her perform in the future. Chelsea adds that her new group is “still recording and working our butts off! The other girls are in Europe or someplace else in the world, BUT still working! We hope to have an amazing product to show to the world real soon. Just keep your eyes/ears open for us.” Moreover, she promises that her own new Robin Antin girl band will not disappoint, saying “You are not going to want to miss anything about us!”

The CW network’s reality television contest series Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll previously featured Chelsea Korka as one of the cast members and competitors vying for membership in the burlesque pop troupe, headed up by choreographer Robin Antin. Though she didn’t reach the top winning spot in the competition, she still says that she stood by her decision to join, which she describes as being fully spontaneous and a spur of the moment choice. But on the bright side, Korka also gained the support of a fan base and a number of career openings after she proved her talent during her stint on the competition.

Although she hasn’t made it into the ranks of the Pussycat Dolls, she has worked onstage together with at least one member of the group during a live event. Korka has performed in Las Vegas at the Pussycat Dolls Lounge, located within the Pure Nightclub, where the show was headlined by main star Melody Thornton. Furthermore, Korka has been tapped by Antin to join an entirely new girl group that the choreographer also helms. Named “The Paradiso Girls,” it is a new European outfit with Korka being the only American member.

The group has five members so far, with one from France, three from England, and then Korka herself rounding out the lineup. Korka also explained that the other girls were working together even before the Pussycat Dolls TV series began, but when Antin asked her to join up, Korka readily agreed to do so. She has said that they’ve been rehearsing through a lot of both singing and musical dance numbers, and working together with producers such as Will-I-Am and Fernando Garibay. Interscope Records is the label behind the group, which is also responsible for the release of Nicole Scherzinger’s new album this November.

Ruth Handler was the lady who designed and gave life to the original Barbie doll in her striped bathing suit, in March 1959. Barbie also known by the name Barbara Millicent Roberts, has been loved by millions over the years. She is a doll with an adolescent face, but adult characteristics.

Barbie, who now celebrates her 50th birthday, appears to have been originally popularized by a Yale-educated man. Jack Ryan was a swinger from the 70’s, but he had a deep dark secret. He was driven by an insatiable sexual appetite.

Ryan’s wives included such beauties as the delightful Zsa Zsa Gabor. A close friend and confidant of Ryan, Stephen Gnass, said to hear Ryan talk about Barbie, was to feel Ryan was talking about something sexual. Ryan is said to have paid high-class call girls and it was not unknown for Ryan to hold sex-orgies at his expensive Bel-air mansion. It was also reported that Ryan was a sufferer of the disease gonorrhea.

Barbie was portrayed to embrace a ‘normal’ kind of opulent lifestyle, with her pink mansions and extravagant cars. In 2004 Barbie even separated from her long time boyfriend, Ken Carson, as many couples were doing in real life. However, in February 2006 the couple were reunited.

About the only thing missing in Barbie’s life were children. Barbie represented the up and coming professional women, who decided against a family. Instead, Barbie has owned over forty pets, from a panda, lion cub, cats, dogs, horses, to a zebra. She was employed as a flight attendant, held a pilots’ license, become an astronaut and a doctor, to mention just a few of her many occupations. An Islamic Barbie, called Fulla, was created, alongside an African and Hispanic Barbie.

By the late 1990’s, the term ‘Barbie’ however, came to symbolize any woman who is considered, by the majority, to be frivolous and empty headed. Perhaps this was an unconscious flow-on from the ‘blondes have all the fun’ syndrome of the 1980’s. The harshest and most realistic criticism thrown at Barbie, was her out-of-reach body shape. This presented the ever present and very real danger of promoting anorexia in the young girls. According to the University Central Hospital in Helsinki, Finland, any girl striving for a shape like Barbie, would be missing 17 – 22% body fat, which is needed for her to menstruate. The Barbie mould was eventually given a new design in 1997, when a few inches were added to her waist. In keeping with the signs of the time, in 1997 there also came a friend of Barbie, in a pink wheelchair.

A 2005 survey revealed that in an effort to rid themselves of their ‘Barbie Days’, some girls would go through a ‘hate Barbie’ stage. Barbie would end up decapitated, or melted down in a microwave oven. Yet it is claimed that 90% of fanatical Barbie doll collectors, of well over 100,000 women, are over the age of 40. They buy more than 20 Barbie dolls each year, with over 45% of them spending an average of over $1000 a year.

The original Barbie sold for $3 in 1959. In October 2004 the same Barbie, in a mint-condition box was sold for $3552 on eBay. The highest price ever to be paid for a Barbie was at Christies in London, for nine thousand pounds sterling. This was a Barbie dressed in Midnight Red from 1965, which had been part of a private collection of 4,000 Barbie dolls. She was sold by two Dutch women, Ietje Raebel and her daughter Marina.

To celebrate her 50th birthday, the original striped bathing suit Barbie, from 1959, has been reproduced.



Discount Kitchen Faucets

jhon gill asked:


Reborn baby dolls or fake babies are fast becoming a collectible item. All types of women and some men , also, are eager to own a reborn baby doll which not only gives them almost the same pleasure and warmth that a real baby would, but, teaches them to take care of a human baby also. Therefore there are many auction websites that cater to this demand.

Some the most popular websites selling reborn baby dolls are “eBay”, “Amazon”, “ubid”, “bidz” , “reborn”, “exceptional-reborn-nursery”, etc. The purchaser ought to visit all such auction sites in order to get not only a competitive price, but, a list of features and attributes of his or her future fake baby.

Some manufacturers use products that are user-friendly. They install modified pacifiers with no magnets that makes it safe even for people with pacemakers. The baby’s skin is made of soft material and vinyl that is not only beautiful to look, soft to touch but is hypoallergenic also. Like wise the bunch of hair, too, is hypoallergenic. The granules used in hands and feet are mostly user-friendly as well as make hands and feet aesthetically pleasing.

The clothes that come with the reborn baby doll are also auctioned on the web sites and a buyer gets a chance to choose the clothes he or she wants his baby to come wearing in.These clothes can be cheap or very costly depending on the quality but there are two aspects that need highlighting here. One is that mostly these clothes are hypoallergenic and two, they of almost the same size as the real baby’s. The latter aspect of the cloths of a reborn baby doll gives them an added advantage as a foster mummy can always learn to handle them for her own future baby. A foster mummy need not be some one who has never had a child before. She can be someone who’s already had children who are now past childhood and she just wants to relive her kids’ childhood. It can even be some one who wants to see how does it feel like to have twins or triplets as fake babies come in pairs and three somes also .

Situated in Pratunam, Bangkok, the dolls displayed in this museum are the works of world class doll makers giving scrupulous attention to detail during the creation process. Each design is planned after extensive research where antique costumes are based on ancient Thai legends, temple murals and other historic Thai illustrations. The unique feature in these dolls are that all material used to make them are supplied locally.

The traditional costumes of the dolls represent different levels of village and rural life in Thailand which includes farmers at work, villagers in traditional folk dance during the festive season, hill tribes and their colourful display of costumes, vendors selling their harvest, the models of khon dance, traditional drum dance and more. The special feature in the museum is the depiction of the Thai version of Ramayanaya portraying the battle between Rama and king Ravana. It has 35 characters acting out the scene on a 3 meter long set.

The quality of the dolls produced in this museum is represented in the accolades that have been won by them at the international competitions. As a result these dolls were on display in other international museums in Paris, New Delhi and Chicago. If visitors are interested in dolls in international costumes, this place has a separate section offering everything ranging from Australia, South Korea, USA, France, Russia, and Turkey etc. The gift shop that is attached to this museum sells factory made dolls while antique and new designs are kept in the museum for appreciation. This place offers the perfect souvenir for anyone visiting Thailand and is open from 8 a.m to 5 p.m from every Monday to Saturday where admission is free of charge.

During your visit to Bangkok Dolls & Museum, Bangkok hotel accommodation can be easily found in Bangkok President Solitaire.
