Bonjour and Mabuhay!

This is Irah St.-Méran from the Philippines. I started collecting dolls seriously last year. I like collecting ModelMuses, Dolls of the World, Fashion Fever (the earlier ones) and some Barbie Convention Exclusives (thanks to eBay! and Amazon!) They are not the usual blonde Barbie. I like Asian and African-American Dolls. Brunettes are my fave. Exquisite Blondes are one in a million and Redheads are very unique.

I saw this web site and became so interested with this community. Finally, I found people to discuss my obsession...collecting Dolls. I also create outfits for my own dolls. Before, I don't like the idea of mixing and matching original outfits but now, Am beginning to like it.

Creating Hybrids are new to me, I just don't know how to remove the head without damaging the neck area ( my cousins destroyed their dolls this way.). Am also not into it for the meantime because i enjoy them being unique and for how they are. I am keeping an open mind to do this in the future. This could be fabulous!

I wanna know some secrets on playing with their hair. I would love to give them new do's to make them look prettier. Please lemme know how you set them to glam curls and just hanging them silky and straight.

If there are new dolls, please let me know. MATTEL (Richwell Phlippines) only ships blondes, readheads and brunettes (Mostly Latinas and Caucasians), It is so difficult to get Asian and AA dolls here. Thanks to ebaY, paypal and amazon! feel free to browse my gallery!
