More than a century before you could watch a video on your smart phone, there was the Kinora picture reel, one of the first moving picture devices for at-home use.
Six reels from the Getty Research Institute’s collection of optical devices are now available for free online viewing, including this one of a woman jubilantly dancing in costume.

An 8.5 Million Dollar DollhouseBuilt over 13 years by Elaine Diehl in the 1980s, the Astollat Dollhouse features 29 rooms filled with 10,000 miniature pieces, including
elaborate furniture, oil paintings, mirrors, fireplaces, gold miniature
jewelry, rare-mini books more than 100 years old, fine rugs, fabrics,
and pieces made of and silver and gold. It has seven levels, stairways,
hallways, a basement, a wine cellar, a kitchen and an armory. There are
formal rooms, a library, a music room, a grand ballroom and a bar, and
that’s before you get to the Wizard’s tower on the top level.

I took pictures of my dolls today. Nine out of the eleven because Kanani doesnt have a wig on and Grace is still in her box.
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want a collection this size. How many dolls do I have, you ask? Three. I’m a grown-ass woman.
