Barbies and Books 101
Welcome to my blog! This blog will be all about two of my favorite hobbies: Barbie collecting and books. I read about 100 books a year; mostly in the "literature" genre, although most people agree to disagree about what literature really is. I'll be using my blog to track my reading, give mini reviews and make recommendations for fellow book lovers.
I'm also passionate about collecting Barbies. I currently collect vintage Barbies (pre-1966 only), Dolls of the World and am starting to collect Silkstone Barbies. I also hope to purchase some of the Barbies I had as a kid. I love photographing Barbie -- she was originally a model, you know -- so watch for some stunning Barbie photos in this space!
Speaking of which, here is a photo of my very first bubble-cut Barbie (I have since purchased two more). She is in near-mint condition and I got her for a steal on Ebay. My "Barbie friend" gave me the wonderful stewardess outfit she's wearing. I'll be posting more photos in future posts!

Welcome to the Blog-o-sphere! I'm loving your book review format (quick and easy, but still interesting--I spend too much time trying to make my reviews sound intriguing and they're usually dull, dull, dull) and the Barbie thing is, well, unique. It is fun to see someone using a blog to talk about a hobby. Especially a hobby that's not computer related. Rock on with the blog.
And please, for the love of all things geeky, add an RSS feed! You just have to turn the feature on in blogger and tell it where to put the feed. Easy stuff. Then I'll be able to read each new entry as it comes, as opposed to remembering to check your site once every week or two. Dave should add one, too!
I tried to turn it on, but it only has an atom feed. And at 2:30 in the morning, my brain wasn't working too good so I couldn't figure it out.... maybe today.
