Tenney, In a World of Her Own as Alice

Tenney is all dressed up. She and her Alice doll look like twins.

She has been waiting all day to have her special tea party, just like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Here, she can imagine all the wonders of Wonderful in a world of her own.

*REVIEW* Disney Showcase Collection Cheshire Series 2 - World of Miss Mindy Vinyl

You'll be mad for Miss Mindy's captivating Cheshire Cat and his famous toothy grin. He happily welcomes you to Wonderland with a charming mini mome rath. Be sure to add this delightfully devious shapeshifter to your collection before he disappears!

• Part of series 2 in Miss Mindy's Designer Vinyl Collection
• Unique Tripod design with vibrant color details
• Mome Rath accessory piece comes in box for added value
• Beautifully packaged in branded color window box suitable for display
• Cheshire Cat stands 7" Tall; Mome Rath stands 1.75" tall 

Not only is his grin mischievous, but that wink! You know he is up to something. I love his heart shaped nose with a whiskered mustache and how he stands confidently with his hands on his hips.

Note Cheshire's polka dot ears and white collar.  

The Mome Rath looks up wide eyed, hoping not to be stepped on, no doubt.

The curls of his hair are even visible from behind. 

Look closely and you'll see his paw prints are in the shape of a heart. His fluffy tail has a reddish colored tip and helps keep him balanced. No doll stand required.

Miss Mindy's boxes are even show stoppers. I love the stage and curtain design. You may chose to display the vinyl figures in their open front boxes, but I prefer to keep them out in the open.

World of Miss Mindy dolls are available at Hot Topic.

*REVIEW* Disney Showcase Collection Alice Series 2 - World of Miss Mindy Vinyl

Alice holds her cup of tea. On one side there is a heart, while on the other side - well is half a cup of tea of course!

Fall down a rabbit hole into a world of your own and join Alice for a mad tea party! Her classic look is reimagined in wonderful detail with puffed sleeves, a large bow on her back and a cup of tea in hand to toast to a very merry unbirthday.

• Part of series 2 in Miss Mindy's Designer Vinyl Collection 
• Unique Tripod design with vibrant color details
• Tea cup accessory piece attachment comes in box for added value
• Beautifully packaged in branded color window box suitable for display
• Alice stands 7" Tall 

What I love about Miss Mindy, as an artist, she really captures the story and special details of each character. In this case, with Alice, you can see the white rabbit in the pupil of her large eyes, the Door Mouse is asleep inside her apron pocket and there are hearts on her white stockings.

Alice is standing on her tip toes, but her large apron strings help keep her balanced. She will stand on her own and doesn't require a doll stand.

At the Mad Hatter tea party, Alice looks right at home holding her half cup of tea.

I am in love with Alice! She was my first real doll and my first musical theater role. Alice always holds a special place in my heart. Mindy's whimsical vinyl figures are so special. Alice is very solid weight. If you accidentally dropped her (heaven forbid) she would not shatter. 

World of Miss Mindy dolls are available at Hot Topic. 

Disney Week - Princess Plush Collection

I recommend the 18" Disney plush dolls. They are soft and cuddly, easy to wash in the laundry and often go on sale BOGO 50% online and in store. These make great gifts for any Disney princess fan.

I love Maleficent. She is one of my favorite villains.

My first musical theater production was as Alice in Alice in Wonderland. My aunt made me an amazing OOAK Wonderland wreath and I have it hung in my office.

*Reader Photos* Alice Ephemera - Hornbake Library, UMD

Haven't had enough Alice.
 

I found out that a library at the University of Maryland has an exhibit about books and Alice ephemera so I had to check it out.

This is the Hornbake Library at UMD.

 

Outside the exhibits they had 11 posters asking which Alice in Wonderland character you were.

 

I hadn't realized how many worldwide translations of Alice there were. So much artwork on covers and inside these books

 

If Addy were Alice. 

If Julie was Alice with a modern Queen of Hearts. 

 

She wears a black polka dot hair bow. 

 

The AG hearts dress is a modern Queen of Hearts look.

Rebecca as Alice with rabbit.

Kirsten as Alice with the Mock Turtle.
