When a character in a movie or TV show calls another character smart or witty it’s really just the writers praising themselves.

Last week I was working on some props for an upcoming doll diorama of mine. Among them were these 50 miniature books in 1/6th scale (Licca, Blythe, Momoko, Barbie, etc). :) That was a loooot of folding and gluing!
Miniatures in playscale are not nearly as common as typical 1/12th dollhouse items, hence me doing my own props! I had fun picking the sort of covers for books I wanted displayed on little shelves. It was important the books were on diverse topics. Many are scans of my own books, sized down to miniature scale.
There’s Anne Frank (my love for her knows no bounds), Alice in Wonderland, vintage science fiction, ghost stories, childrens fairy tales, cooking books, dictionaries, craft and sewing books, manga, and so on. Lots of books a dolly would be interested in. :)
I have to say I am constantly amazed at what the playscale people make.
I totally want to make a tiny bookshelf full of my favorite tiny books.

Wings, 1927
I’ve always thought that the last few years of silent films were some of the best movies. If the film industry had remained silent, I think they would have done some fantastic things. Instead, we got all-talk-all-the-time kind of starting from the ground up in the 30s.
