« on: January 05, 2007, 02:52:13 AM »
this is going to sound like the absolute gayest thing ever but...
yesterday i saw an item in the newspaper about how the company "madame alexander"(a manufacturer of expensive,collectable dolls)is planning to launch a line of dolls in the likenesses of the five main actresses on the primetime soap opera "desperate housewives".
these tiny drama queens will not come cheaply.it's expected that they will retail for about $130.00 each.that takes a pretty devoted fan.aquiring the entire set will set one back nearly $700.00!
now i enjoy desperate housewives and watch it weekly but i certainly cannot imagine wanting to collect these(although the teensy bree replica is darling).
however it made me think...what if it was a finely detailed line-up of our d.s. leading ladies that was going into production(as apposed to plastic "action figures").?
would i find myself insanely covetous of these?willing to shell out big $$$?would twelve inch versions of vicki,carolyn and maggie be lining a curio cabinet in my home?would i become "that person"?
this thought scared the hell out of me!!!
would anyone else go for these?
