Still hard at work, I see.
My first thought with the first pic was that she had a lightsaber on her belt

Juke Joint

.

The boys found a jukebox for the tiki bar.
.
The jukebox is a holiday decoration, $20 at Walmart. It was easy to remove the back panel and replace the image in the window with a picture I printed out on plain paper.
.
The jukebox is slightly undersized and lacks realistic detail, but for the price it is adequate as a background prop for 1/6-scale (Barbie doll size) scenes. Plus, it lights up without the need for extra wiring.

[Alliecat]

I think it's cute, and it's a great addition to your tiki bar.

Waiting for Warmer Weather

It could be a long wait.

Waiting in Place

My dolls and action figures "wait" usually remain they fall until they are either needed again or the space they're taking up is needed for some other purpose.

.

Emmy seems dubious as the 2024 Doll & Action Figure Holiday Pub Crawl preparations commence.

[Alliecat]

Perhaps their wait for warmer weather will be brightened a bit by the holiday decorating and lights.

Spooky Skin Diver

The plan was for Vampirella to appear during the Halloween season, but then I got to thinking: does anybody even know who the Vampirella character is anymore? Sure, a few "comic book geeks" might, but otherwise, Vampi is pretty much a relic from the days of Famous Monsters of Filmland Magazine, and that was a while ago. To anyone not-of-the-era, Vampirella could be any run of the mill smokin' hawt babe in a barely-there bathing suit. Thus, here's Vampi looking for skin diving gear at the local surf & dive shop, where she fits right in with no background knowledge necessary.

Not a world cruise, alas, but we will be "AFK" for the next three weeks.

I apologize for not yet commenting copiously on your new arrival. "Real Life" stuff has been crazy hectic. I hope to have time when, or if, I return.

Veteran Travelers

.

Those veteran travelers, the Pinky Street girls, are off on another adventure, and against their better judgment they're allowing me to tag along. I'll be AFK - Away From Keyboard - for the next three weeks or so. Maybe I'll be back after that. Or maybe the siren song of the open road will prove irresistible and I won't be back at all.
.
'Til L8R, keep it in shady!

[Alliecat]

Oh boy. Have fun! And safe travels.
Man, wouldn’t I love a one-way road trip somewhere else right now

[Alliecat]

Whoa! Transatlantic voyage?!?! Yay you! And Spain, AND Morocco?
I love how the Pinkys are dressed for each occasion.
No "white sails shaking" though, by the look of that.
Wow, just a week across! What were you on? [OK nvm, I saw on Flickr] How was the weather? Didja get sick?? Really pleased for you that you got to add that to your list of adventures
And oh boy, I can sure relate to the girls' comments on the last pic.

Welcome back!!
