Fancy sharing your bath with a mermaid??

Advantages: fun toy for the bath
Disadvantages: none

...MY daughter is a big fan of Dora the Explorer so she was highly delighted when she received this Dora Swim and Splash Mermaid as a present from her nan on her fourth birthday. I was also very pleased because this is a bath toy and most of the bath toys we have, we have had since the girls were babies so they seem to have outgrown most. The toy is about 25 cm tall and although it has Dora's face, instead of legs she has a mermaid's tail. She has long black hair and a beautiful jewelled necklace around her neck. I'm sure that my daughter would be perfectly happy just to play with her in the bath as she is (because she thinks she is so pretty), even if she did nothing extra at all! But of course there is more to this toy because this is a 'swim and splash' mermaid, so as you would expect, Dora does actually swim - or I would say she has...

Review of Dora Swim and Splash Mermaid

You don't have to go to sea for this Mermaid.

Advantages: Good well cooked food and a vast choice
Disadvantages: The distance for us to travel, I would like it to be a bit closer to home

...THE MERMAID Although I have lived close to Wolverhampton for most of my life, it has only been over the past 3 years that I have visited The Mermaid in Wolverhampton and my parents lived literary 3 minutes away for over 20yrs. After my father died, with me working shifts; my mother and I often had lunch out either in Telford or in Wolverhampton during the week. My mother used to love steak baguettes or sandwiches with a serving of chips, which we have eaten here on our luncheons in sandwich form on thick crusty bread, red onion chutney, seasoned (this is means lightly salted with sea salt and pepper), and a small side salad. I have to say it was very impressive and filling. Moving on I was so impressed that we arranged to meet friends here, who lived on the other side of Wolverhampton, as The Mermaid was a half way point, this...

Killer dolls!!

Advantages: Not unwatchable
Disadvantages: Generally very silly

...Five young people have been invited to spend a weekend at an art gallery in the middle of nowhere, with the aim of having their faces turned into one of the many dolls that the gallery hosts. On arrival, it is soon clear that something strange is going on - and it is not just the weird and wonderful collection of dolls that are peppered all around the house. One of the girls, Yeung-ha, has a doll that she believes is a real person; so much so that when it is broken, she tries to kill another of the guests. And there is a strange girl wondering about the grounds who only appears when Hae-mi is around. Then the killings begin. What is going on? And will any of them escape alive? There is a rather random cast of actors that play the roles in the film, none of which are particularly brilliant. Yu-mi Kim who plays Hae-mi probably has...

Review of The Doll Master (Subtitled) (DVD)

Pussycat Dolls Domination

Advantages: Pop, Dance, RnB, upbeat tracks, some slow tracks, great vocals & soundtracks
Disadvantages: None

...'Doll Domination' is the second album by the US girl group Pussycat Dolls that was released in September 2008. I am not really a fan of the group but I do like some of their more popular tracks like 'I Don't Need a Man' and 'StickwitU' and they are also well known for the track 'Don't Cha' and now 'When I Grow Up' from their latest album 'Doll Domination'. 'Doll Domination' has a good selection of 18 tracks which is a good number of tracks compared to most albums these days which normally average 13 tracks at the most.. The first track is 'When I Grow Up' which is one of the main singles on this album. I am not particularly keen on this track and it doesn't help that it's been played loads on my fave station, I do not like it I'm afraid but like the video - I think their choreography is always spot on and if there's one thing...

This is the song that introduced us to the Pussy Cat Dolls. This is a 'feel good' song which gives you confidence when listening to it. I can't help not dancing when I hear this song. * Beep * When I first heard this song , I didn't like it at all , but after I...

Review of PCD - Pussycat Dolls

Doll Domination

Advantages: Great Tracks
Disadvantages: None for me

...Doll Domination is yet another Pussycat Dolls album, released in 2008, its their second released album, their first being PCD. You can buy Doll Domination in most good music stores for around a 10er, depending on where you are buying it, and if you are a fan of their music you will really find it worth the money, as in my opinion it is much better than the PCD album. Doll Domination has some great tracks on it, especially if you are a fan of the Pussycat Dolls, it has a real fun and girly feel to it, there are some great tracks to get you in the mood for a party when you are getting ready for a night out. The track listing for this album is: 1.) When I Grow Up 2.) Bottle Pop 3.) Whatcha Think About That 4.) I Hate this Part 5.) Taken' Over the World 6.) Outta this Club 7.) Whos Gonna Love You 8.) Happliy Never...

Review of Doll Domination - Pussycat Dolls

It's a Dolls Life

Advantages: complex characters
Disadvantages: felt a bit suffocated whilst reading

...A Doll House was the first of Ibsen's plays to create such a HUGE sensation and I think it is now perhaps his most famous play. It is my favourite Ibsen play. At the time when it was published, the play was highly controversial due to it's blatent criticicism of the standard Victorian marriage. About the author Henrik Johan Ibsen was a Norwegian playwright of the late 19th century. He brought to the European stage a whole new order of moral analysis that was placed against a very traditional middle-class background and developed with economy of action, powerful dialogue, and gusto thought. Basically, Ibsen wrote for and about the middle class and life in the outskirts of cities and small towns. He focused completely on characters and psychological conflicts rather than dramatic situations. He is more character orientated and it...

Fairies and Mermaids galore

Advantages: Lovely book for fairy and mermaid mad little people!
Disadvantages: None unless you don't like them!

...A lovely book for anyone who loves fairies and mermaids and wants to draw and paint them. This was a definite for little miss who seems to spend all her time drawing pictures of fish tailed ladies and those little flying ladies and girls. The book gets straight onto the descriptions of how to draw them, without any long forward or explanantion as to how the book should be used. After all, if you buy the book, you want to learn how to draw them not be told how to use the book! It is divided into two page spreads detailing the drawing or painting of diiferent types of mermaids and fairies, startin, naturally enough, with simple fairies. Other activities include Love Heart fairies, Rainy Day fairies, Fairy Paperchain, Mermaids' Tea party, Mermaid door sign. In all, there are 17 activites, so more than enough to keep little people...

Dolls House and Miniature Scene

Advantages: A detailed magazine for the collector
Disadvantages: none

...They say that honesty is the best policy..so I will be honest ! At a local Car boot sale there was just under a dozen of the Dolls House and Miniature Scene magazines in a pile all marked at 10p each ! Dolls houses fascinate me so I handed over my sweaty pound coin and bagged the lot. The magazine is a very well known monthly publication that focuses on shows,books,craftsmen and the individual collector. The magazine includes projects either in 1:12 or 1:24 scale ,among the projects there will be doll clothes to make,furniture,knitting or fine embroidery projects. All the projects come with detailed instruction and high quality photographs of the finished article. The magazine also states clearly where all the materials needed for any project can be obtained. Much of the miniature work requires specialist materials to achieve...

Review of Dolls House and Miniature Scene

Gorgeous dolls house furniture!

Advantages: Well made, safe, robust
Disadvantages: None that I can see

...My niece has a beautiful dolls house called the Marlborough Dolls House which is a John Crane Pintoy product ? in fact I wrote a review about it some time ago. There are various sets of furniture available to fit in this, or indeed any other, dolls house including bathroom, living room, kitchen, nursery and bedroom furniture. Earlier this year she received the set of living room furniture which she loves playing with and it is so cute I just had to tell you about it! Since I had no idea how much it cost I have just searched via Google and found the set ranging from £14.99 at Mail Order Express, to £13.95 at Amazon, down to just £12 at www.kidsrooms.co.uk where they also stock furniture for all the other rooms too! Incidentally the pictures of the items on this website are excellent and can be enlarged so that you can...
