Reports From The Bedroom World

Ah, summer and we're melting inside our plastic bodies. It's time to sip cocktails in the pool, sniff burnt sausages from the next door neighbour's barbeque and dance the night away to sinfully bad, old favourites.

And of course, time for our dear owner to get sick and organise other fashion show with Porcia. Shed the winter clothes and let's go!

( Because everyone likes to pretend they're models... )

Stay tuned for all the backstage gossip...well, what I can remember after all that champagne...

We have newcomers again...:
( Play it again, Sam... )


Valentina & Oriana Ediition, the Thirds.

* rei_ant ia pissing herself with laughter after examining the titles that Valentina seems to be looking to - "Les Miserables" (Victor Hugo), "Baby Island" (Carol Ryrie Brink), "Strange Places, Simple Truths" (Ainslie Meares) & "The God Project" (John Saul) - all books which feature the bulding of a "perfect" society or people and the in three fiction novels, people are insanely flawed and everything goes to poo :p

Hello, hello!

Yet another of those egotistical Pullips (no, Teresa, must remain objective, even if they do have huge heads!) has arrived - Ginger Rockmanov (Gigi). I'll secure an interview within the next few days, hopefully (unless she's like those horrible other Pullips).

Of course, rei_ant has added another picfic to Eyes and updated the Pullip Doll Profiles.

Pullip 9# - Delicious And Red, Her Apples Are.
A newcomer inturrupts another serious discussion led by Ophelia.

Ah, the time of the week when rei_ant has any will to clean her room. Thank goodness - the killer hurricane, Baby Grande has been stumbling around creating chaos. No one is safe from the total destruction while rei_ant is at school!

It is also the time of the week when there is a spare moment or respite, breath - and so the new picfics have been added (yet, there are no pics of me...*sniffles*).

Barbie 5# - He's Not My Teddy, He's My Boyfriend!, continuing the ongoing saga of the teenage girl who wants bit of what's not availible. Hard to photograph, because we Barbies can't stand in the shelves...

Pullip 7# - The Booty's Visitation Rights
A trip to nenaralya's creates a firm, drunken friendship between Mussetta and Villanelle, but The Booty is the real treasure :P

Pullip 8# - Harry Likes Them Lolita Style
Mussetta really like young schoolgirls...

Bonus shots from the meet at woodstockangel and nenaralya:


Ophelia: I wonder if she'll notice if I stick a pin in her arm...


LATTE:...and she's considering getting us these new bodies with soft breasts like Mussetta's, but not so much they look like we've been cosmetically altered...
Ophelia: Gosh, at least they're not teenie headlights!

In the past few days a swirl of distrust has spread amongst the yonger Barbies, circulating mostly around best friends, Bethany and Bonnie. A story update on this is found here - >Barbie 4#: In The Deep Of Teh Trailer Park.

The new Pullip has finally arrived! The bedroom has witnessed another murder attempt! Pullip 5#: A Pair Of Funny Coloured Pineapples.

- Teresa Goldshine, real toy reporter for 'Reports From The Bedroom World'

Pullips #3 - The Bully That Buys Me Expensive Stuff has been updated to feature nenaralya's LATTE! YAY!

Lost Snoopy, Feared Unbalenced, Dusty And Alone
Due to the new computer shelf adjustment that occured around 1pm yesterday, Hiker Snoopy has fallen off and is probably behind the desk. A search party will be sent early tomorrow morning to recover him, alone with a medical team. Anyone with information is advised to comment.

Warning New Girl Here Soon, Ophelia not pleased!
Nomado was sent out yesterday from Sydney and should approximently be here within the next few days. Ophelia Purezza is to be avoided as she welds sharp objects, and shoes. Reports say she is upset over having to share her rocking chair.

New Website Opened!
Eyes That Sparkle was released online less then a minute ago. Will feature everything I can't be bothered to cover, picfics, profiles, photoshoots and whatever else goes on in rei_ant's mind about her dolls late at night when she's typing away.
    So far the old Barbie picfics that I have listed here have been listed and three new Pullip fics: 1#,2#, 3#. Any comments regarding these would be graciously be posted here.

How can I give everyone an update if rei_ant is always hogging the computer? She's been so bogged down with homework, I haven't had a spare minute to update my own work. Thank goodness time means nothing to a doll, if I had been human and not done any work for five weeks, Porcia would have fired me long ago!


Busy catching up with work
The biggest news around, is rei_ant's infatuation with the new girl, a Brand New Purezza Pullip named Ophelia. She takes her everywhere, is always re-dressing her and buying her stuff - you should checkout her new furniture! Us poor Barbies have been so neglected. Everytime we try to talk to the girl, she pretends we're not there!


Ophelia Purezza (a.k.a Brand New Purezza)
Expressive, more anatomically correct and very photogenic, she gets to toddle around and be played with all the time. Studying Art History via an online course to the Academie in France, she always seems busy looking at pretty things. We're not quite sure whether or not she actually is French, but she knows their ways, has a similer style and randomly breaks off into French speech. More then a bit spoilt and bratty, but very loving towards rei_ant. You have to friend rei_ant to see them, but photos of her arrival and some random picfics are located here, here, and here.

The room is pretty close to being full and our dear lanlord has been over compulsive buying (not to mention broke) for awhile now, so Ophelia was meant to be the "last" doll for this year. Except, she's been dying for a Silkstone Barbie, so she's been watching those and now there's another Pullip coming! That girl has no self control.

Last weekend she attended a trash'n'treasure market (of which she had 'supposedly' sworn off!) and came home with a the Barbie All Around Home - Family Room Playset, of which belongs to Ophelia on my shelf. She was very over-excited because she also managed to bring home a Special Edition, she's been coverting for quite awhile:


Julia Piank - A.K.A Special Edition Happy Holidays Barbie 1998
Julia is Porcia's older sister and whilst Porcia is the darling of The Bedroom, Julia is the "special one" of their six daughter family (Gold, Silver, Platinum, Pink, Special Edition & Store Exclusive girls, respectively). Sucessful and admirable, Julia owns and runs the family hotel and airline branches. Partial to pretty dresses (especilly those her sister creates!), glitter, elaborate hairstyles and the Nicole Kidman version of 'The Stepford Wives'.
( Velvet and silk... )

It seems that we may get new furniture soon, hurrah! Silly Bratz managed to get a motorbike on the weekend, I think I deserve something new too!


Jade having a drunk joy ride. Again.
Ah, I think it's time to work on anoter article! Or drink that nice cup of coffee Aimee just shoved in front of that screen, yelling "...next one! We're going to get fired! I'll have to write for an emo webzine! Work harder woman!". Silly doll.

A juicy story from Drew and Blaine's welcome bash. Where would the news be if we didn't have a few romances, a few skanks, alcohol and rivalries?

( To outsiders, it may seem like the ultimate playboy mansion... )

Has any one noticed that the Bedroom is always busy these days? We've had a few parties, a hurricane (rei_ant calls it a through cleanout, but we know better!), a strange little creature who like to examine under Bridgette's tutu, then grab all of us off the shelf and toss us into the aftermath of the hurricane. Human babies, what did a doll ever have use for one?

After much anticipation and our owner nearly passing out from worry, Drew and Blaine finally arrived a week before the small terror. rei_ant nearly passed out at the front door and completly bi-passed The Bedroom to open the box in the living room. Poor plastic people, the box was in horrible shape!

( I love you more now you don't live in a pink box... )

Not your typical lovebirds, eh? By some crazy spot of luck, they're the first monogomous couple in The Bedroom. Thank you woodstockangel for pointing that out...

Drew Excyo - (A.K.A Fashion Fever Tokyo 2005 Drew)

Drew is orginally from Tokyo. Yes, I know she doesn't look naturally Japanease, but her parents were American diplomats. As a child of a diplomat, she's traveled quite a lot, but calls the bustling Tokyo home, as it's the somewhere where she's spent the most time. Frequently dresses in the various Japanease subcultures and enjoys a good glass of red wine with her sashimi.
( That is the most awesome bag I have ever seen! )

Blaine Modtre - (A.K.A Fashion Fever Modern Trends 2006 Blaine)

He may have lived in a pink box, like shopping and dress almost acceptably, but he is an a real relationship. With a real plastic woman (will Roger ever find his man?). In his spare time, Blaine likes to read Pulizter prize winning novels and medical journals, if his "Tokyo Bluebell" doesn't drag him away first. Unlike her, he prefer to be slow, calm and centered, favouriting watching foreign films with a hot cup of mochachino, then playing paintball illegally on the Golden Gate Bridge.
( Starbucks Drinker, aren't you? ).</center>

For being a gay pink-boxed yuppie, Blaine is extremly easy to talk to. Maybe he has an older brother...

More editorials people!

rei_ant is in the middle of a huge cleanout. From my prime position at the top of the computer shelves...you can't really see much past her new huge-ass, black computer moniter. There's paper human clothes, some of our meeting chairs, David's head...strewn all over the floor. Only two bags of stuff to chuck! Sometimes it's shameful living here with her. However, other then being a very busy time (with the clean-up and rei_ant just went back to school today), she's been looking over us with sadness in her eyes. When she eventually moves out only some of us fashion dolls can "come with". Some, get priority - First Lady Bubble Angel Barbie (how surprising), Portia and Pretty Hearts. Rumour has it the Fashion Fevers will probably get dibs, nine of them so far - two more on the way (more about that later!). I'm praying I too will get a place, but then who will report the gossip in the Bedroom?
What's more discomforting, after all the "move out" is so far off, is that rei_ant is feeling more pressure to sell some of us off. I know, it's shocking. I suppose in the coming weeks there will be more cattiness going on...However, I think Rei ~ Ant is more likely to sell of the older dolls with little to no value to a collector, tch tch. Dolls like me I suppose! *fear fear*


Happier news! Fashion Fevers Toyko Drew and Modern Trends 2006 Blaine are on their way and should be here by friday! I hear Kayla is already planning a party and Christopher is making room next to himself for some "man-to-man" time (Shairi and IsaBella not being "manly" enough for him). Photos to be up soon after! I know rei_ant is estastic, she's wanted to own Drew for a long time. She prances a lot when she's happy.


Slightly worse news! Now, everyone in the room, minus it's stupid owner noticed a few weeks back that Alexa's corset light bulb had learnt. Many gigglefits were had over every lame attempt of rei_ant's to switch her on. Thankfully, Alexa's breasts are not used often, so it did not dampen the atmosphere. Unfortunatly, rei_ant's not that bright. Last night, it was too dark for her to type in her own journal so kept flicking Alexa's switch to no avial. "Oh, the blub's probably just come loose...". You missed the fireworks show and rei_ant swearing loudy as the bedroom went to a blackout (Becca, the fool she is, thought it was a war and tumbled from the shelf in order to find shelter on the floor somewhere). So now, we are all working in the very bright main light and Alexa's blub does not make as nice "clicky sound" as her corset blub does. Poor Lexy...

You haven't been properly introduced yet, but a few back weeks back Katia Phillips or KP as she's mostly known, was purchased (with Rei ~ Ant's now scarred and forever dirty, dirty hands!) under the premise of "buying a jacket for the other girls". She sorta won Rei over(and woodstockangel too, mind you!) with her punky take on her schoolgirl uniform. Most people in the human Drama class also fell for her so called "innocent looks" (most noteable is Tom, who was obsessed with touching her hair...). In order for rei_ant to reconcile with herself for doing such a dirty, dirty deed, she decided to take Katia along on her family's overnight trip to Sydney, along with the infamous Mr. Bunnykins. ( Here are some snaps: )


Katia 'KP' Phillips (A.K.A Bratz Katia Class)
Your seemingly average schoolgirl, Katia parades herself around adults as a responsible young adult. On the weekends she goes food shopping with her mother and let's all her mother's friends pinch her cheeks, like the adoring, merciful daughter she is. On saturday night she goes over to her cousin Jade's home, hitches up her skirt even higher and stumbles out of clubs, and sleeps till 3pm in order to be presentable when going to church and home that evening. Or at least until recently when her nice folks thought it would be a good idea to have her live permenently with Jade...( Katia, 16 and knows everything! )

Today, I gathered a bunch of photos I'd collected with all the bedroom dolls and made each of the sign it. A copy is on the profile page - a nice addition, no? I thought it was a bit vain just to talk about me on a page that should be about all of us.
Feel a bit bad that I had to leave out the other cruical toys in the room - Leah Regina, Mr. Fluffykins, Alexa, Pinkie Bluey, Rex, Ralph etc. Perhaps, rei_ant will make one with them later. Then again, Ralph may have some difficulty signing his name, being a snake with no limbs.

A few days back, The Bedroom was invaded by the plague (much better known as woodstockangel and nenaralya's Bratz dolls). It started off as an innocent enough nightclub gig...but sure enough, when Jade's involved, things are going to take a turn for the worse. All the Bratz dolls are suddenly put in an AA meeting, which none of them took seriously. Oh, the acts of those short dolls!

The first Barbie eBay purchased came in a few days back. Betty Richardson in her blue FF cylinder even evoked the curiosity of rei_ant's mother and spent her first few hours in the family room, as opposed to the Bedroom. She's settled in rather nicely, as yuppie as she may seem, on the top shelf next to Shairi. One hopes, I can make a new friend of her in the soon to come interview! (Even if she doesn't look like a Ma-Nu-Ka brat)

Other soon to come interviews include: The Easter Bunny, whose proper name is considering a name change, Bratz Katia Phillips, Mother Kokeshi and baby Leo and some of the other warbles that seek refuge from their former home at rei_ant's grandmothers.

There will always be a short collection of the photos from Katia & Mr.Fluffykins trip to Sydney with the family over Easter! (I hope Mr.Fluffykins didn't snore as mucha s he does at home, it might disturb the parental units further)

It's tough being a doll when there's so much work to do!

Well, I'm back from my summer vaction and have been plagued by many, many recounts of the Bedroom! There's many new "christmas immigrants", a fight, a new friend for moi, a new shop and lots of stuff stored around Rei's room. Currently I'm surveying the place from my "balcony chair" and you can see the shelf is starting to get very full...



Ah, yes, the inevitable interviews...

Aimee Realhousser - (A.K.A Real House Barbie)

Aimee moved here from MYER as the new "real" stories editor. In the terms of her contract she also manage to score an awesome house (where's my house Porcia, Rei? Just because I write fashion and gossip columns doesn't mean I don't deserve more then a bit of desk space!). She's the sort girl-next-door type of girl, with very firm career motivations. Unfortunatly, she's also the poor-as-dirt sort of career girl, but hey, she wanted to be a "real life" toy journalist!
Aimee likes nothing more to relax after work and eat popcorn in front of the TV, while contemplating her lonely lifestyle.
( Reporter to Reporter - tete-a-tete )

IsaBella Realhousser - (A.K.A Makeup Chic Barbie)

The complete opposite of her sister, IsaBella lives for fun! If there's a party, she'll be there turning heads with her long, "real" lashes, her flamboyant outfits. Jade and Belinda may be the "wild girls" of the room, but IsaBella, along her friend Shairi, are the somewhat tamer "party girls". Moving mainly for a change and the comfort her secure sister brings, IsaBella is very self-confident in herself and has no regrets for the things she does.
IsaBella giggled and reapplied her "plum shine" lipgloss when I request an ( interview )

Shairi Teresata - (A.K.A Makeup Chic Teresa)

Shairi is the quieter of the 'Ari/Bella' duo, but the not the lesser. Loves more simple outfits and hip-hop over pop then her bestie, but the better dancer of the two. Shairi loves to stay out until the wee hours and is often seen even after IsaBella has collapsed. Has no paitence for Belinda or Jade, but when not with IsaBella, can be seen teasing Becca.
She gave me a small smile and asked if I minded if she gave herself a makeup touch up before we commenced the ( interview... )

Is Shairi the new Britney Spears!? Stay tuned for further updates on that front! ^_^

Kayla Tansumi - (A.K.A First Wave Fashion Fever)

The asian influence has hit the Bedroom! Kayla loves to shop and puts together the cutest outfits. She tends to be a bit more of a loner, but contributes to the International Style column and is avid on discussion forums. Kayla has traveled all over the world and you tell how it inspires her! Beautiful and multi-lingual, yet still with a soft spot for furry animals and printed bags.
( Gwen Stefani would love her... )

Kris Berghoffer - (A.K.A Fashion Fever)

Kris has the 'lucky' distinction of being the only male in the Bedroom (besides Roger, of course, but Roger is close to being female anyway). Porcia enlisted him to model her Men's line and he's a hit with all the male-starved young women ('Ari/Bella' VS. Belinda/Jade). Kris, himself love the attention the parties but is most found in deep conversation with the likes of Blanche, Sonya and Kayla. He loves a good laugh, an action film with lots of blood and is always wearing Tommy Hilflinger cologne. Does have the odd fashion taste of a gay backstreet boy through...
( Stares out from the pages of 'Fashion Monthly' with his most serious face )

Ballana Orangepo - (A.K.A Chic Teresa)

Ballana was the wonderful dancer who showed off at the Presidential Exhibition before I went away on vaction. She's very committed and always at rehersal, but when she gets spare time, she loves to chill and watch movie like 'Fame' and 'Centerstage'. Trained in the more modern styles for the last 17 years, she very professional and loves having Roger as her partner.
( Spin that interview! )

Roger Nicohlas - (A.K.A Glitter Beach Ken)

The generic gay guy, right down to the bad purple shirt. Roger is more then that though - he's surprisingly well read and an awesome dancer! He's also makes a mean cup of coffee and can cheer one up real fast. FACT: Roger and I were bought together - we've known each other since before we can remember. I did want an interview with my favourite cowboy, but apprently his dance rehersals are more important!

Now, there are two more inteviews missing, but the two girls demand that if they be featured at all, they must have their own post! (Stuck up princess....*cough*).

Hope everyone had a fabulous vaction!^_^

( Click here to be counted! )

In the coming days, there will be a report on the christmas celebration, our new comers (including bankrupt but pretty "Bella", and the fearsome, yet rich drug lords, the Bratz Wicked Twiins). Merry Christmas everyone!

Busy, busy, busy! Our President and First Lady were finally able to make their trip upstairs last week and have been having piles of fun, completed by the wonderful dance exhibition by our latino dancers, Roger Kenncci and our newest Barbie, Ballana Organepo! Once again, Belinda had been causing trouble, now with her newest playmate, the beatiful, but not overly bright Becca.

So, just like we have the best and worst dressed of the Grammys, we also have the best and worst of the Presidential Dance Exhibition!

( Shake that, glup it down! )

[EDIT:]
Look what I just found in my pile of photographs! Not something you'd want to see over breakfast, eh?



Now, is this how Belinda is surviving without her Mother's shelf rights?

- Teresa Goldshine, real toy reporter for 'Reports From The Bedroom World'

Jade seems to be the death of rei_ant, giving her a heart attack about a minute ago. Her infamous gold shoes came today, curtosy of nenaralya and thankfully they haven't wandered off yet. Unfortunatly, Jade decided to celebrate by getting her hair mushed, therefore having to have it brushed with her teeny and ineffectual brush.

This is when the heart attack occurred. For no reason other then they are stupid, one of Jade's earring became loose and was nowhere to be found.

It's all good now, but will this girl please keep track of her belongings? It's stressing everyone out!
