Teaching Mahjong and Dragon Dance!

Hey Gang!

A lot is going on as we prepare for the Chinese New Year.

Miyu is teaching a few people to play Mahjong.

Miyu: This game is mostly played with three or four players. First, you mix the tiles face down, like shuffling a deck.

Then you will draw thirteen tiles. 

Li Li: This seems complicated! 

Jimin: I don't think it is once you learn the rules.

Geremy: I should have brought a pen!

Miyu: This game is a lot of fun! I taught my son, Chet, to play when he was little. 

Chet: We just taught my young daughter!

Mahjong game set!

I found this Mahjong set for my dolls. It is 1/12 scale. 

Table

You will need to separate the tiles. It will take a little work, and they don't all fit on the table at once.

Here you can see I popped out about one and a half tiles, and the table appears full.

I want to make a bigger table and a case for this set.

Sunny: Hey, I heard the dragon costume has arrived! They are doing a dress practice!

Everyone leave to see the practice!

Chang'e: WOW! They look pretty good!

Connie: Yeah, I had my doubts, but yes! They look pretty good!

 Purchase this dragon puppet because I want to have a couple of dolls for the Dragon Dance! I have a post of them practicing. 

I cut off the strings and put pants on the guys I wanted doing the dance.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Mattel BMR Dolls

Hey Gang!

I added the Mattel BMR 1959 dolls to my collection finally! I thought I would purchase them because I need body donors but one guys and the girl did catch my eye! 

First up...let's call him green hair! There doesn't appear to be a name for the individual dolls, so I giving them my own names. I got two of this guy as body donors. 

I have seen him styled  on FB and IG and people seem to love his face and fashions but not me!

Fashionista Ken #114 and #10 Classic Cool received the bodies

The outfit from the front!

From the back!

He has the Blaine headsculpt which I love but his face paint is a little to feminine for me.

I am not a fan of the white necklace either but I might work with a paint job!

I like the jacket! It is a keeper! The other items maybe can be combined with other doll 

clothes for an OK outfit!

I am not sure how I feel about the shoes!  I have seen them painted and they do look 

nice but am still not sure about them.

Next up is the real hair man bun"! I got three of these!  I was only planning on two 

but when he got here, he changed my mind. I liked his face. The body works well for the 

pale Ken doll that  don't -have articulation. 

Twilight Jasper and Hoa-- Asian Ken with the purple hair received the bodies.

The outfit on this guy is pretty nice. I would not put a heavy sweat-hoodie with shorts 

and sandals but hey, that is just me!

I am a fan of the crossbody bag and I do like the sandal! This guy is Mark.

Next up is the  AA Curvy girl! Now whoever styled this girl should have gotten a "F" in 

fashion school! The flowered hoodie dress with the ruffle is just NO! No,no,no,no ,no!  

It wouldn't even work for grandma!

The glasses are a Why??? Thank goodness she has a great face!

The plastic raincoat didn't work for Francie and it still doesn't work here!

I am liking the high ponytail! Besides her face and body, the pony is the only other high point!

I just had to sigh when I saw the shoes.  Were there a ton of gold boot left over from 

something else?

So here she is redressed in what I think is a more fun ourfit!

Hi, I'm Rajiyah but my friends call me Raggie!

Not sure if this guy will be a DIY or a manikin. 

OK, Thanks For Looking!
