Sisterhood of the traveling VW doll

Brothers, too!
Theo is going to make us a beautiful doll, and we are going to send her all over the world!!! The doll (she?) is going to start in NZ, and travel from there. There will be a journal included, and probably a blog. Take pictures with her, travel around with her, eat lunch, you know..whatever. Make stuff for her!
We can talk about details here.
You must be a KNOWN VW member to participate.
Should it just be one journal entry for the whole trip? then lots of details on here or a blog?
Whole trip to each person?
I understand it as each person will write a journal entry about what they did with the doll, and then it will all be documented on the blog.
Right? Or...I guess we could just do blog entries?
It's kind of scary to think everyone participating will know everyone's address.
Maybe that's just me being paranoid. XP
I'd be cool with there being a prescribed order, in case anyone's nervous about sharing their address with everyone involved.

That's why only known people are invited. I wouldn't want anyone in that I didn't feel comfortable with knowing information.
A lot of yous are my best friends, so...duh.
I did let EA in, because there was a cute email involved. Ain't skeered.
Addresses are pretty much available, anyway...it's not like we're including bank account numbers.
BUT, if you guys want the list to stay with me, we can do that. I can just arrange people, so each person has one address. Whatevs.
We could throw in a cheap usb flash drive so that each person can send the photos from their trip on with her.
Yea EA is cool, he should be included :)
I am excited! I entirely hand sewed Li'l AC but I think I may machine sew Li'l VW for speediness sake...though someone may be borrowing my machine for a few days so I can't make any initial estimates on when she will be done yet :)
This is such a cool idea! It reminds me of the little teddy bear our teacher let us take home for a week when I was in kindergarten. I'm not great with a needle and thread, but I'll have to start thinking of other unique items I might contribute.
I think it would be neat to give him/her some creative name other than Li'l VW. It's descriptive and all, but I dono how I'd feel if my parents had donned me Li'l (insert family name here). :P
We can vote for names when Theo is done and we see the doll. So we know what name fits.
(heh, in high school i was a li'l, because my brother. ehh)
Li'l Diva
Haha awesome. Someone should find her a little diva cup... because if she is female and from vw, we know she should have one!
Yeah, but it would be non-functional unless she had somewhere to put it :wow:
I have a Diva pin that she can have.

Now that's getting technical and maybe a little icky :P

+1 :P
The first thing P did with L'AC, was look under her skirt. ::)

Art imitating life?
I think I am too new member of Vegweb, but I'm sure that my doll, Kamomilla, would like to meet VW-doll. Kamomilla is a girl that adventures in my Finnish baking blog called Kamomillan konditoria. (This is her story about her trip to New York.. I have actually post it here before..)
So I hope that VW-doll could some day visit Finland too :)
so this will be going on for a while, no?
It's just that I don't think I should participate yet - depends on where the doll will start and when. Unless it was mailed to my UK address before March and then I could take her/him on a trip to NZ and post onwards from there?? Or just send my address when in NZ, but then it seems like it would've already been with the NZ vegwebbers.
M'eh I dunno. Maybe I just can't participate. That's probably easiest.
Shell, just wait and see when it all gets rollin'! We can decide from there.

You're lucky Mr Theo had no part in making L'AC, The last doll I made was a Harry Potter doll for my HP obsessed friend'd birthday, and Mr Theo painstakingly sewed and stuffed a little penis then attached it to him under his robes. No one found it until late that night!
She actually cut it off and gave it back to him in a little box for his birthday... while playing the "dick in a box" song :P
