Some people become "that crazy cat lady" or "that guy who has conversations with himself". I'm "that idiot who buys scaled booze for their action figures". (Technically, being a writer, I also have conversations with myself. And it's not like I mind cats. Cassie's like a combination of cat and dog; she purrs, climbs, barks and walks on a leash. Not always well.)
ANYWAY. To ease the boys' pain about moving into a very pink Barbie Dream House, I decided to get them a very pink bar. It's actually the culmination of three different dirt cheap Barbie knock-off (but better, 'cause there's booze!) playsets: a bar, a wine cabinet and a liquor cabinet. For products that cost less than the price of shipping to get them here, they're actually pretty damn awesome. Every single bottle is formed beautifully and has a distinctly different label, for instance. And there are six different kinds of bar glasses! No, I have no idea why I enjoy that so much. Of course everything is hollow inside, but the plastic itself doesn't have that cheap oily feel to it that you would expect of cheap plastics. The glasses are actually formed well, too.
As for the liquor and wine cabinets themselves... what a bitch it was to get these things together. Still, I have to be impressed with how well everything fits together (once slightly forced), and the fancy decorative touches. The glasses are also decorated, and the little buckets have "ice" in the bottom. Again, no idea why this seems interesting. But with the bar, the boys don't need these, right? Well, what if I turn them into his and his weapons cabinets?
Okay, now I'm going to go do work. Really. Hopefully this weekend will involve some writing, finally.
