International Doll Meet 2016

Did you know that I was an inch from disclosing one of the best kept secrets ever? Of course you did not. This because what you are reading now is the adjusted version of my blog. My boss begged me to rewrite it. Not that this was really necessary. Unlike some other men he is way too kind to be ignored. If it wasn't out of decency I also would have done it without the begging. But being a female it is expected of me to make the males beg. So, I politely made him beg.
Hey boss, great begging!!

The secret that I nearly disclosed is not really a secret. Not for me anyway. In fact for a lot of dolls it is not. It is the secret about is the place where the International Doll Meet is being held. Now I know that some of you are hoping for a slip of my tongue. Hah, that is not going to happen. All I can reveal is that the meeting is being held somewhere in deep the wildlands of Wales.

Wales, a strange place for a big international doll meeting. London, Brussels, Paris, Cologne, they all offer perfect accessability and accomodation for every important kind of international conference. But may I remind you that the last meeting of the G7 was held in a hotel on a mountaintop of a small island near Shima, a desolate village somewhere in the Japanese wildlands. It was more than a hundred miles from Kioto, the nearest city of importance. Apparently the really important meetings need to be stripped of all cultural and social pressure. From that perspective it may seem not so weird to organise the most important event of the year, the International Doll Meeting, at the far end of the world, deep into the wild, destitute of every type of civilisation.

It must be said that the actual location for the gathering is outstanding in more than one way. It is probably the last civilized stronghold, a kind of fortress hidden in a landscape of hills of unnatural beauty, covered with grass, trees and bleating or bloating sheep dolls ( Hmm... probably both. It is hard to tell from a distance). It is a  retreat for dolls who like to spend their time meditating in sheer solitude. Perfect for reflection. Fantastic for the creating of deep and sensible recitals. Fabulous for discussing important matters like peaceful and prosperous coexistance of the different types of dolls in our world.....

.... if it wasn't for them bloating sheep. Ok, I am not entirely sure about this, but it must have been them darn sheep dolls. Must have been!


This because the great International Doll Meeting is, and I hate to admit this...sighh ...., the doll meeting is in fact nothing more than a cheerful social gathering in which the level of conversation mostly is so much lightweight that you need a ribbon to tie it to a wheelchair to make sure it does not float away on the first breeze or sneeze.

Obviously this does not mean that a meeting like this will run smoothly on its own. Someone has to organise, someone has to keep an eye on things, someone has to set rules, someone has to make sure that the rules are followed and that everything will go as planned. And, because my boss had unfortunately, or perhaps conveniently crippled himself prior to the meeting, that someone turned out to be ..... me.

 

 

Now I try to keep an open mind and I really want to help whenever or wherever I can, but some things simply are destined to fail. Such as for instance the idea of Brigitte to sell used underwear. Brigitte is such a sweetheart. She told me that the profits she wanted to donate to the "Flappy (or was it Floppy) Finger Foundation". So of course I had Koen announcing her plan. Though I must admit I that a voice in my part of the brain that I share with Koen said: "...... Selling used underwear??... Flappy Finger Foundation????.... "frown

Anyway, the next day her hubbie 'cheerfully' came to tell me that still nobody had handed in their used underwear, suggesting that because I had organized the announcement this now made me responsible for getting the used underwear....

...Dear Chris, I prefer my high heel sneakers, but I can also kick you with my needle sharp stilettos if you like angel

 

Ohh, here is another one. You know Holly? Of course you know Holly. We all know Holly. Holly is our famous film star to be. Ok, Holly comes up to me and say that she likes to organize an autograph session. So I say to her: "Sure, no problem. I will schedule you for tomorrow 12.00 to 12.30 and arrange the announcement." And then she says to me..... "Rebecca told me that I could easily ask 60p per autograph.... P?... Is that pence or pounds? "

Now I am not and islander. I am from the main land. We have Euros. So Holly shouts to Bob, who is busy distributing sweets and funny buttons at the far end of the meeting room: "BOB!! PENCE OR POUNDS?" And Bob shouts back: "POUNDS ARE BETTER THAN PENCE, DEAR !"

Ok, the next day Holly shows up totally pissed. It turned out that nobody except one even considered to get her autograph. That one was Mr. Monkey. Next to Holly's  60 pounds autograph he even wanted seven extra 10-pound-kissprints on his forehead.  But when she finally got rid of the monkey hair that was sticking all over  to her lips, it turned out that he did not have any money..... and that I had to do something about this.  

Now I know the scope of ScoonimDolls, I can pull a string for ball joint dolls, you can tuck me in with teddybabes, I can play silly buggers for silicon dolls,  I am even a match for meat-based dolls. But Mr. Monkey.... You can tell from his face that he is not the type you want to pick for a fight. So I offered to Holly to return the hairs to Mr. Monkey that she had managed to get of her lips....

 

And I suppose you also did not hear about this, but I have risked my life to retrieve a wheelchair and two silly dolls that nearly ended up in the pond down the road.

 

  Here, this is what happened.

Because they are not really guarded Ebony and Ivory had came up with the plan 'borrow' one of the wheelchairs to take it for a spin. You would not expect it because of their cute faces, but damn rascals they are. Perhaps you have seen the photos that GG has made and posted in TDF of them standing at the fence near the pond. You know, that fence with the warning signs? In the subtitles GG writes that his dolls followed up the warnings on the signs and went back to the barn (see topic: http://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=69135&start=30) . And indeed they did. Only to return half an hour later ... at top speed ... with a wheelchair! Such a pity that there was nobody with a camera to capture that moment.

I was just taking a short break when I saw it happen. Cheerfully  giggling they were rolling by. Slowly at first, but down the hill. You do not need to be a wizard to imagine was going to happen next. Then suddenly everything went really fast. A bit further up the hill Mia and her guy just finished a photoshoot with their BMW and  Mia was driving the car back to the parking. Because there was no time to loose I decided to jump in front of her car. It was a serious risk, but fortunately Mia is an excellent driver and she noticed me instantly. In the blink of an eye I got into the car, jumped on her shoulder and shouted in her ear:  "STOP THAT WHEELCHAIR !!"  

If this would have been Koen's car  this would never have worked, but Mia's car is really fast. We speeded down the road and managed to cut off the wheelchair with Ebony and Ivory rocking on - holding on - hanging on it, and finally waving behind it like flags clamped to its handlebars.  Just a few meters before the fence the race stopped.

It is really surprizing that nobody got hurt. Ok, the BMW got a few scratches and the wheelchair needed cleaning, but apart from that all was fine.

I wonder if  Ebony and Ivory have ever told GG about their ride. Well, if they didn't than surely GG will ask them about it  when he reads this.

 

 

 

 

 

As you probably will guess a lot more has happened that weekend. Enough to fill a book actually. Such as the proposal against back room meetings, which resulted in a general voting session to keep the small meeting rooms with the porcelain chairs open and accessible for every doll at all times. The proposal was accepted by the vast majority of the attending dolls. Much to my surprise even the most of the MB dolls were in favour (They are the ones that always lock the doors to those rooms).  But already the next day it turned out that the MB doll section needed more time to get used to the idea that it was no longer allowed to lock the toilets. Needless to say that it was raining complaints at my desk that day....

 

Dear boss, I do hope you get well soon, because I am in desperate need of a holiday.

 

Cheers,  Stellai

Ha ha ha, that's excellent Koen. Great story with Mia. Love your blog Stellai

Your stories are always fun to read Stellai and this one had it all including a couple of runaway misfits and a car chase.

Siliconefun would have given the both of you a very bad time if this is true.

So stop hiding your BMW joyride behind that rescue story (that is what I&E and me think)

Hey GG,

Really, I don't give a damn if you let I&E get away with it.  But accusing us of joyriding is out of line. Look at the photos and then tell me if that looks like as if we went joyriding!!  And as for those scratches, they were fortunately superficial, and Mia was willing to use her charmes on SF  to cover them. But if I&E are going to play hardball, then you can be sure that this is not the last that has been written about these scratches frown

Stelai

Great photos, GG. And Ebony and Ivory are so lovely and well behaved. Amazing that they did just decide to comply the instructions on the signs. If they ever would like to come over to my place they are most welcome. Their well behaviour would make a great example to that ******* that I have over here.

And I do not have to let I&E get away with anything because they did nothing wrong.

Using words like scratches and damn rascals makes you really looking on the bad side.

Anyway, we are out of this cheeky

Dear GG,

I am so sorry to tell you this, but you clearly are a little bit misinformed. Therefore you may be a teeny-weeny bit surprised when I tell you that I do not have, never had, and never will have a master. Indeed I do have a boss because that comes with the organisation structure of CD, but the quote that you have used it not his. The quote you added has been written by Koen. He is my creator, but he is most definitely NOT my master!!!!!  Furthermore Koen was not aware of what had happened when he wrote that, simply because I had not informed him. He based his comment entirely on the subtitles in your thread. Like you he did not know about the rest of the story till I published this blog. I do not know if he still thinks that I&E are "so lovely and well behaved", but I would not be so sure about that if I were you. 

As for using word like scratches and rascals, it is quite simple. Scratches are scratches and rascals are rascals. The first you see instantly. The second you do not see untill you want to see. That is the essence of them.  Please know that I do not blame you or judge you for turning a blind eye to what has happened. You were not there and it is no more than natural to trust and protect your family. 

As for the offer from Koen to invite I&E, I fully support that, though I must admit that my reasons are somewhat different than his.

Kindest regards,

Stellai

Hi Stellai, Brigitte is still giggling that she tricked you. The Flappy Finger Foundation.  smileyWell, the donations would have been used to buy a new pair of flappy stockings. Haha. I do hope though that you don´t kick my butt, I´m used to get kicked by Brigitte as you know but getting kicked some more by more dolls will be a little bit too much for my booty. You know, I´m working in the office so I have to be able to sit. crying Chris

Hi Chris, 

So thàt was the story behind it? Hahahalaugh Brigitte surely has fooled me with that.

And  now thinking of it I indeed should have become suspicious when you told me with that big smile I needed to collect the underwear for her myself. It is just that I know Brigitte as a rather serious looking doll. Clearly there is more to her than what meets the eyewink 

Ok, you are both forgiven!!! Haha laughyes

 

Stellai

Wow! that's a lot of writing for a small girl surprise

I enjoyed the story and loved the pics yes

Please respect GG's comment and don't offend him.

Thanks for respecting every one's opportunity and don't disturb the freedom of happyness!!!!

Hey?? surprise

 What happened? Changed your comment, SF?

 I can assure you that in my blog I had no ill intent towards anybody at any time whatsoever.  I also never have had any intention to offend GG, though unfortunately he did offend me. If GG  still feels offended than there is nothing I can do about it, because I am not going to apologize for a sincerely cute intended remark that I made about E&I. 

Stellai

As for Koen, please leave him out of this. He has no part in this quarrel. 

P.S.   Please say hi to Mia for me.  She was the real hero, if you ask me. yesI hope that next time our tour will be a bit longer than that 100 meters to the pond and back laugh

Hey Stellai, 

still back at home, Mia told me the truth of her adventure tour devil.
WOSH! Thanks to you and Mia no one was blessed while this ruff rescue action and the escapades with a wheelchair!! Some people were just wondered about those strange tire strips on the road and on the lawn and now I know why Mia washed the BMW for an unscheduled shoot she wanted to do.
However, Mia's a trustful driver and a doll meet is to have a lot of fun to discover - exactly what my gals want to do - and also myself wink

Cheers,

- SF -

I can see that I missed a very fun shoot!sad You guys are a special, fun group!smileyPlans are falling in place for next year.yes
