So, I finished work early yesterday. As stated in an earlier post, our car is being fixed right now, so we have a rental car. I'm not allowed to drive the rental, so my mom has to pick me up from work. (Not that I want to drive the car anyway, it's super big and I would feel so awkward driving it... I like small cars.)
Anyway, I texted my mom to come pick me up, but she didn't because her phone was dead and she didn't get my text. So, I suddenly had free time to look around Saver's. Now, in my defense, I wasn't going to look at the dolls. Honestly. I was just walking past the place where they are, when something caught my eye:
It was the tackiest Justin Bieber Doll in the world. In the universe. It had cheesy plastic hair (Although, I guess that was better than real doll hair, because then it would just be a mess...) and it was made of a really cheap looking plastic. It even had his stupid little dove tattoo. Tacky, right? And, like most of the dolls at Saver's, this one didn't come with any clothes. Luckily, the manufacturers had had the decency to paint on a pair of underwear, which is really nice of them. Protect Justin Bieber's modesty!
So, as I was looking at this unbeliebably (Pun intended) tacky doll, I noticed a swath of blue hair in some of the many dolls behind him. Curious, I looked closer, and guess what it was!
It was a lovely Ghoulia doll!
And by lovely, I mean Hair wasn't even messy, joints still worked, no fingers missing, came with all her clothes on and everything lovely! In fact, she looked like she had just come out of the box! Squee!!! So, of course, when my mom came, I borrowed five dollars to buy her.
The funny thing is, she only cost four dollars, whereas my Draculaura cost five. That's the problem with Saver's: The price depends solely on how much the pricer deems it worthy, so different pricers lead to different ideas of quality. I don't mind paying five dollars for Draculaura, but I just found it kind of funny that the lesser quality doll (Mind you, she's still in really nice quality, and I love her to life) costed more than a fully clothed almost mint condition doll. The perk of the matter is that I got two nice monster high dolls for half the price of a new doll (They usually cost about 17-20 dollars, depending on the set) so Kayla is very much so happy!
On a side note, I've told my mother that I won't buy anymore dolls. She just rolled her eyes and said, "That's what you told me yesterday." to which I replied,
"If people would just stop getting rid of their monster high dolls, then I wouldn't have to buy them."
So, Thank you Justin Bieber doll, for leading me to a bargain buy!
Oh, and the Ghoulia that I bought is in her pajamas! So cute! I love how they match her blue hair with cherry red accessories!
Love and Sparkles,
Kayla
Congratulations!
