Thank you so much to everyone who left a comment on the last post! It was fun (and emotional) to read your messages and see some familiar faces again. Things have been a bit hectic as I get this blog fully functional, so I'm sorry I haven't had time to reply, but your warm welcomes made me even happier to be back in the saddle.
Let me take a few seconds to mention some new things here on the blog. First of all, most of the dolls that I feature will end up in the Virtual Garage Sale store within 24 hours of their review. You can find the tab for that store at the top of the page. Also, I'll announce new reviews after I write them by putting a quick blurb on Twitter. I'll do the same thing for new dolls at the My Twinn Project Shop. I might occasionally put other observations on Twitter, too. My old Twitter account got locked, so now I'm @TBP_emily. I've added a Twitter button to the top right column over there if you're interested.
I stumbled on the dolls I'm reviewing today quite by accident. I was browsing Amazon, and a suggestion popped up for me to look at a funny little doll from a line called The Biggers. I assumed that the odd brand name referenced the huge head and eyes on this doll. Since I'd just been thinking about popular big-headed, large-eyed dolls like Na! Na! Na! and Rainbow High, I was intrigued to find a less well-known version of this style of doll. I clicked on Amazon's thumbnail and literally giggled out loud when I saw the full-sized photo of the doll. She was bizarre and charming:
