Its in the details - I love playmobil
Blessed father, it has been a freakingly long time since my last blog confession.....
No, I am not making this a religious blog but like the catholic that I sort of am, it seems appropriate to begin this blog the same way any catholic would after a very long time away from the confession box.
What have I been doing that I have not bothered to write? I have been working as a writer and researching about the brain, change management, psychic developments, running, online learning, nutrition and directing. So many different topics which have taken up a lot of time but have not really fit into my blog in a way that I could share the information with you.
I have been thinking about writing for about three months and then... a few weeks ago, it all came together. All those topics seems to snap into place like a puzzle but where should I start?
How about the Ipad? Ipads which will be a women's best friend in a few years but for the time being, it is more of a guys toy. I let my boyfriend play with it while I keep my laptops scattered around the house because I am a touch typist and I like having a keyboard to use... my iphone keyboard still drives me nuts but when the ipad lets you use a wireless keyboard, then it will be my best friend...for now, it is my boyfriends little trophy sitting on his desk in all its glory.
Now, onto the topic which has me blogging again after all this time.... PLAYMOBIL.
I know.. a children's toy but a company that knows not only how to produce toys but also how to slowly integrate changes without you even really noticing.
I would like to show you what I am talking about... here she is:
Isn't she cute... I mean she has my hair and she has my name... I couldn't get more excited by this new doll... so my idea for her is this...you take this little doll.... who already had her own car, her own house, horses, farm, castle, hopital, ships, airport, garbage truck, confederate army, spaceship, roman and viking ships, grocery store, police station, (the list goes on and the toys take up a whole room in my house) so you take this doll, and you change her a bit... you know, give her a pair of underwear instead of a swimming suit and you give her clothes... a decent alternative to the polly pocket!
They already started... you see those yellow slippers she is wearing.. those are made out of rubber! Usually playmobil clothing are rock hard horrible things that snap on... guy clothes.... but now, playmobil is moving in the direction of girly stuff... those shoes.. the thing women love more than anything in the world... are made of rubber.. they stay, are easy to slip on and they are not painted on her feet!
The tan isn't fashionable of course but I can pretend she is Indian cause you know, half the world thinks I am some nationality that I am not.. so let her be some nationality she's not... ok back onto the doll, look at her legs... they have made them look more like legs than sticks another super duper change.... she is looking a little more like a person instead of a robot.
I love the changes they have made in the is little doll.... it will be a year before she hits the US market... so I have a year to get her all dressed up and ready to hit the town cause there is no way she can go on the street looking like that.... She needs a decent wardrobe and I have now something fun to do on my wacom board when I am not working on the new business which is going to have me blogging and vlogging over the next few weeks... yes, I am going to start talking on video.. with the help of my little friend Anna...
