Portia looks so elegant in her lovely room and new dress, imajica.
I've been out of the loop for awhile. First I went on vacation, then got sick just before coming home, then I got all immersed in Mad Men--bought the dvds and had a marathon. Then I had to track down the new thread!
Anyway, it seems you guys have been busy and I'm all caught up with the posts now.
After watching all the Mad Mens, I got out my old magazines from the 1950s and '60s looking for ads, both for inspiration and to use as photo backdrops.
I've done one Mad Cat pic so far, hope to get around to doing more.
imajica, she is lovely, I'm still: over the room set up!! So elegant!!
Phan, I'm so glad to finally see you. Haven't seen you in some time. You know, when I was a teenager, I always swore I'd have a Jaguar simply because it had a cat!!!I like your girl's ad, champagne and all! Could you imagine getting a brand new Jag for $5,625 today????!!!!
That would be highway robber (pun intended)
DanceCat is having a Cow!
Nice to see you back phanuel! Love your Mad Cat pic - it does a great job of capturing the feel of that period! I'm a big Mad Men fan, too. Really disappointed that the new season is postponed until 2012, but looking forward to it nonetheless.
Welcome back Phanuel. Mad Men is a series I keep promising to have a look at. That ad is fabulous.
People were looking at me like I had a transgendered potato in my bathroom
Thanks, all! I always liked the XK-E too. I'm not a car person but I could always recognize that one. Most models look pretty much the same to me.
I didn't start watching Mad Men until a few months ago. My daughter gave me the first season and I bought the rest. I grew up in that era and the show is pretty faithful to it. It's like a time machine for me. Plus I love the drama. Joan is my favorite. Christina Hendricks reminds me of my daughter.
I think Joan may be everyone's favorite, phanuel. Have you see the Mad Men Silkstone Barbies they did? Even in doll form, Joan's still my favorite.
Here is that pic I promised you, DanceCat!
LOVE COMES IN EVERY COLOR

Sorry I'm not chiming in guys. I have no idea what that show is you all are referring to. I don't watch television
cattwo, thanks!! They look great! The pink ones look like they have sparkles in them... or is that just the lighting?
As for the picture of my BBQ that I promised - well, I have to wait to try to link you guys to it from someone else. I took my camera but apparently forgot my memory card, luckily I keep my travel Sonly in that camera bag also, BUT I don't have a card reader for it and I can't find the wire to hook it to the computer. So, I cannot upload my photos!!!
I was so proud and happy with my little set up and couldn't wait to share it.
Lolita kitties! So cute, especially on your gray girl, they go with her eyes.
(I have the Joan and Roger Silkstone Barbies but haven't taken any pics of them yet.)
Thank you, DanceCat! Yes, the pink have embedded sparkles in the plastic - you have a good eye for detail!Originally Posted by DanceCat
Sorry to hear that you forgot your memory card and couldn't take any pics from the BBQ, but hope you'll try to link us to pics others took of it! Would hate to miss out on seeing your nice set-up, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed someone took some great pics of it for you!
Thank you, phanuel! My husband liked the gray girl the best, too.
Even though the cats aren't wearing a thing except the glasses, this pic took me forever to set up and take. Getting the glasses on them right and sitting them, lined up with their heads held in position, felt like a mission impossible at times. Which only goes to show that the pics that look the simplest are often the hardest to do.
Ok friends, I didn't know how to link you directly to my photos from yesterday's meet. So, I redid the set up!!!
Here's a preview:
Please view more in the Gallery! Thanks for your interest.
Everyone's pictures are so wonderful!! I wish my migraine would go away so I could take Rosie out and take some. Keep them coming!
BTW I started building a new dollhouse for Rosie last week -- it's a Georgian style house. Hopefully she'll like it. (if not, my puki may have to move in!)
Wow! I can see why you were so excited to share your BBQ set-up with us, DanceCat, it's absolutely wonderful! I love that gazebo and all those fabulous wicker-style outdoor furnishings! You added so many nice touches, too - like the little Weber grill and bucket full of ice cold drinks - really great job!Ok friends, I didn't know how to link you directly to my photos from yesterday's meet. So, I redid the set up!!!
Thank you, spences_mom! And sorry to hear of your migraine - hope it goes away and stays away soon! I'd love to see more pics of your Rosie when you're able to take some!
And congrats on starting your dollhouse! Georgian style is gorgeous - can't wait to see it!

Thanks cattwo! There's a gallery thread with some closeups if you follow the link under my picture above. Just click on "Gallery" and it'll redirect you to my thread.
I got the gazebo as a Christmas present and decided to build around it. That white wire stuff is plentiful on ebay and on the miniature sites; I knew I'd find many matching pieces.
spencer, good luck with your new dollhouse! Hope you'll share.
I just thought DanceCat . . . if you are any good with FIMO, I have some various instructions on how to make dollhouse scale sized food and some of it might be good for your BBQ -- or for other set ups.
If you -- or if any of the other people here! -- would like, I could scan the instructions and send the interested parties the scans.
I'll see what types I've got and maybe give a list in a post and then whoever (whomever?) is interested can let me know.
I always wanted to minor in English. Still can't get through the whole who/whom, affect/effect, etc. puzzles!!
Anywhoot. Spencer, YES, I'd love to have your instructions, it's funny to come in here just now and find your offer as I was just on another forum looking at someone's clay food and thinking I really need to get back into sculpting - it would save me loads of cash to make things myself!
Thank you much!!
Will do. I will write up a list of what I have, post it here and then you -- and , of course, others here who may be interested -- can PM me for the scans.
It may take a few days to do up the list, though. Right now I am dealing with my parents' estates tax returns (both of them died in 2010) and the paperwork is . . . well. . . .overwhelming -- and I have the help of a great accountant and lawyer!
I'll post the info as soon as I can . . . by Saturday hopefully.
Here's the other pic I took this past weekend. It's Lucy May's fantasy to have a wedding just as her great-great grandcats did:
Of course, Lucy May is quite jealous of that gorgeous gazebo, DanceCat! She would have held her wedding up at your wonderful BBQ, had she known.
The wedding gown Lucy May is wearing is a vintage Dawn one and is a little long, otherwise it fits her well.

I would have been honored to hold Lucy May's wedding at my gazebo, cattwo!! My cat-gang is just as sorrowful that they missed the ceremony!
The dress and the picture are great cattwo, the dress is really quite lovely on her.
Poor Bogart - he's got this look like he's really not sure what's going on or how it all got started! LOL
Lucy May is a beautiful bride Cattwo (and I recognize the dress . . . I am a Dawn/Pippa fashion fan)! I second your thoughts about Bogart, DanceCat. He does look like he's not too sure about this whole process!! (Maybe he's worried about the possible pitter patter of petite paws! - Sorry, I had to . . . )
