ETA: Two more photos behind the cut.
Those of you who’ve read Someone Like You–um, that would be ALL of you, right?–remember that the oft bitchy but troubled Natasha had a certain obsession. Among the vast array of Timothy James Beck characters, I admit that I have a soft spot for Natasha. Created mainly by Jim, with a few quirks and some action thrown in by the rest of us, she’s just such a big mess that even her Evil Retail Manager behavior makes me laugh.
I’d totally forgotten that a few days before Tim went into the hospital, I was poking around on eBay and found a steal. So when a box was delivered today, I had no idea what was in it. I hope it’ll make Tim laugh later. It will always make me think of Natasha Deere.
Dolly Parton doll, circa 1978
You got this for no apparent reason, right?
Totally.
ha! dolly’s awesome.
I love her.
Has Mark G read SLY yet?
Maybe? I don’t know. I think so.
He took me to task for “tampons” being on the first page of THE DEAL the other day. Him and his rules.
There’s a rule about not putting ‘tampons’ on the first page of a book? He’s just asking for me to put ‘tampons’ in any email I send him. (and what the heck, maybe there’ll be tampons in care packages, too!) 🙂
well I am proud to say that there are no mentions of tampons in MY book. Does he oppose octopus sex?
YOU ask him.
LMAO!!!! I wouldn’t touch that one either.
Him and his rules
You’re also in trouble for doing a post about a Dolly Parton doll and not playing on the word dollie, but I’m cutting you some slack ’cause it’s Valentine’s Day.
Thank goodness. I don’t want to face your surliness.
That’s so great!! I’ma have to dig out my Erica Kane dolls and snap them for you.
I’d love to see them.

I LOVE how the turquoise shoes match her belt and her feathers. Very she-she! Wonderful ensemble for the basic back dress! Too rich! ROFLMAO
Thank you. I learned when I made that dress that its dye will stain. Poor Summer got stained and it won’t come off. I had the dress on Dolly for THIRTY minutes tops, and now she’s stained, too. All these years in excellent condition, and I mess her up within a few hours of receiving her.
Good thing I’m not a real collector, huh?

Get outta here! Damn.
I still really want to live in that mall.
Thanks to your doll photos from a couple months ago, John took me to Wortham Fountain today to shoot pictures for his photography class. I’d never been there before. It took a lot of u-turns to finally get there, but he liked it, too. 🙂
Oh, yay! I love that fountain!
This is so cool! What makes it creepy cool is that I picked up “Someone Like You” at Borders at about the time that you were posting this.
Too weird!
Ha! I just read your post and commented about that. (Cue creepy music.)
I’m beyond jealous! I just might have to roll you for that one! I have a dream of going to Dollywood with a Dolly Doll in one hand, and her biography “My Life, and Other Unfinished Business” in the other!
I have a friend who loves Dolly and Dollywood. I think you should do it.
I remember laughing my ass off at ‘SLY’ during the Dolly parts. 🙂
Me, too, and I can say that because I doubt I wrote the parts that made us laugh.
