DO THE CECE DANCE!!

AAAHHHH! IT'S A PERSON :O

Hey guys, Kylie here! Well, my little Lizbug goes back to acting school tomorrow, so we thought we should make a blog post to update y'all on everything cool we've done together this summer in a nutshell!

1) We started Notorious Kylie
2) Made tons of awesome crafts (non-doll and doll related)
3) Got the Canon EOS Rebel T3i
4) Made some stopmotions
5) GOT MARIE-GRACE GARDNER AND CECILE REY AT (#6)
6) THE AGPNY ON THEIR RELEASE DATE!!!
7) Alex completed the Liberty Jane Clothing Design Academy, and made an ADORABLE romper as the end result of her project outfit, complete with a cute little headband :)


Yes, it will be sad not being able to put endless days and nights worth of effort into our videos once again, but wow, I must say one thing- THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR OVER 2,000 SUBSCRIBERS THIS SUMMER!! Yesterday, we reached 4,000, and Alex couldn't stop freaking out. She loves you guys so much (of course so do her dollies. ESPECIALLY ME THOUGH) :)

Not only does Lizbug love Marie-Grace and Cecile, but she was super excited about getting her first African American AG doll!! She still loves Marie-Grace to death though :)

Alex promised in her cupcake craft tutorial video that she would have me post the cupcake-doll comparison on my blog. However, she will be putting it on her doll craft blog instead. We don't really advertise that blog all that much, it's just a place to put any images and any extra info you'd need for some of our craft tutorials. Some people say they've been having issues printing some of the images out though- and we are so sorry about that. We really don't know how to fix this issue...and it's working for some people, which is really odd. But yeah, that's where that picture will be :)

The good news, though, is that my Lizbug will be starting her core classes online this Saturday!! Basically, she comes home from acting at around 11, then sits down, logs on, and completes her coursework! This does NOT mean there will be a promised increase in videos, and her mother is sure of that.

Well, time to spend the last day before waking up at 6. Hope you've all had a wonderful summer like we have!!

BYEEEEE!!


sushi :) vegetarian of course ^u^

SUM-AH SUMMAH!

Wow. I died. I am so sorry! I've been so busy with filming my new show Notorious Kylie, as well as having TONS of new things under my belt, such as the newest thing to doll lovers- Everyone Loves Dolls!!! This is a group created by Alex (or Lizbug)  for doll lovers of all ages to come together and just have fun! As for why I'm calling her Alex, she decided she'd like to go by that name from now on. Anyways, she'll always be MY Lizbug. I'm Kylie. I get to do whatever I want ;) Anyways, for more info on EveryoneLovesDolls.com, be sure to check out the Promo, starring girloftheyeearstudios, 311peaceout, ktcontagious, unodosginger, and Alex, of course! Click HERE!! Go on! Do it now!

Did you do that? Great! Well be sure to go sign up for ELD! It's free!

Anyways, I've got a lottt of updates to talk about, so I'll make them quick:

1) We got a new camera! YAYYY! It's a Canon EOS Rebel T3i!!! Alex can't describe how much she loves that thing. She's still working on the best exporting formats for it to provide you guys with the best quality she can, so just bare with us while this in going on :)

2) Alex and 'Nani went to HAWAII!!! Enough said. To see more, click HERE.

3) SuperChik Doll Designs is back up and on fire! Be sure to check out our newest listings! But, before I give you the link.....

4) NOTORIOUS KYLIE POSTERS ARE HERE! You can buy them at SuperChik Doll Designs! Each one comes with a little note from ME!!! YES ME!!! (by the way, just click the "SuperChik Doll Designs" right above to take you to the shop!

5) DOLL CLOTHING COMING SOON!!! What do you guys think of a line by MEEE?

6) Alex will PROBABLY be going to the AGPNY on Cecile and Marie-Grace's release date to see the new dolls (and leave with them too XD)

and FINALLY:

7) AG FACEBOOK!!! Although we never got around to making a Facebook for me, Alex had one called Lizzie Tuber for you guys to add her on- only FACEBOOK DISABLED IT! Why? Because we all failed to realize that AGFB didn't comply with their Community Guidelines and Terms of Service: You can't have 2 Facebook accounts, and you're not allowed to create them for inanimate objects, pets, etc. So, more and more AGFB accounts are getting disabled every day. Oh well. Maybe AGTwitter would be fun? But then again, if you upload a photo taken on your cell to Twitter, it's easy for anyone to find your exact wherabouts through encryption. If you don't believe that, click HERE.


Well, in order to make this interesting, I posted some photos taken with our new camera! I hope you enjoy!

Gotta go, reading my script for the next Notorious Kylie episode. ADIOS AMIGAS Y AMIGOS!! By the way, I don't speak Spanish, but I'm pretty sure I just said "BUY ME SOME CHEESE BEFORE I TACKLE YOU." Ah well, BYEEEE!!!!

SPRING BREAK!! :)

YO!! KYLIEBOO IN THE HOUSE! And we are PSYCHED for next week. Can you guess what it is? Go ahead. Guess! Wow. You SUCK at this. Hey! No need to be rude! Sorry. Yeah, sure you are. Whatever. Ugh. I'm REALLY tired of those guys. Always have been, always will be. For those of you who don't know who "those guys" are, they're my thoughts. They like to interject all the time. And they're really annoying. And rude. Did I mention they're ANNOYING? Yes, yes you did. I KNOW I DID. I WAS JUST PUTTING EMPHASIS ON ANNOYING. COOL. NO ONE CARES. Whatever. Enough of this!


So, a lot of you can probably tell that Lizzie hasn't posted videos this whole week. Well, on 4evragz anyways. But we hope you all are enjoying her music videos on her channel called TubingLizzie! She works on them really hard, and has so much fun making them. The hardest part in being involved in 2 different YouTube worlds is finding a balance between  them.

But, although she hasn't been able to post videos on 4evragz (until today), she did hold a Tinychat party! And gave away tons of cool stuff, such as autographed pictures (people requested these, so SHE'S NOT STUCK UP PEOPLES :D ), items from her Etsy shop, subscriptions, friend requests, shoutouts, letters (yes, hand written letters) and more!

Some people have not yet claimed their prizes, so if they don't Personal Message us their address (if they won a package prize) by Monday, April 18th, then the prizes will become available for giveaways at our next Tinychat party! Lizzie writes down the addresses as soon as she receives them, and then deletes the message, to make sure no hackers will find it :)

Speaking of our next Tinychat party, who knows, there may be one tonight :)

I have a LOT to talk about, so I'll make it quick to avoid being boring. You're boring because you BLAB and BLAB and BLAB. UGH STOP IT I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU X/

1) WHAT HAPPENED TO SITARA (aka STARLIGHTHARP)'s YOUTUBE CHANNEL?!!! We're all FREAKING out. Sitara- her American Girl Music Videos were without a doubt the best in the world. So much detail and time was put into them, each element was perfect, the songs were unique and beautiful- it is truly a shame that she closed her account without notice. We hope to hear from her soon :( She was our inspiration for our "Utopia" music video. Speaking of music videos...

2) Over spring break, we are planning to shoot an AGMV! The song is pretty top secret for now (unless you were on Tinychat two nights ago, Lizzie said the song on there) MWAHAHAHA!!! We also want to make more hairstyle tutorials, and a couple of craft ones as well! Lizbug also plans on making a music video or two on TubingLizzie, but it all depends on how much time she has.

3) Today, we uploaded a photoshoot of Bella-Sarah, you really should check it out and read the description..there are more than just pictures in the video...  We also noticed that Sarah (stephenswodadancer) has RECENTLY closed her Facebook account. Lizzie was on it either yesterday or the day before, but today, it's gone! First Sitara, now Sarah! We are so scared. Our YouTube family is falling apart! :(

4) Thank you SO MUCH for 1600 subscribers! We will be holding our next contest (for package prizes such as custom doll jewelry) when we reach 2000! It's 400 away, but, at the rate we are right now (about 100 subscribers on average a week), it should only be about a month! I hope this doesn't sound like bragging, we're just giving estimates as to how long until the next contest. It was such a fun time watching the videos you guys made for the last one! We are currently reviewing auditions for LaniesNatureCollab and KananisAlohaCollab, and let us just say- MANY astounding entries! Good thing more than one spot is available! We're having SO MUCH TROUBLE narrowing down the list. This will be difficult!



Okay, enough BLABBING. Sorry...I didn't mean to-WHATEVER. Now. I'm going to go, before my thoughts drive me over the edge. Aww, you love us that much? I wouldn't call it "love." WELL YOU KNOW WHA-OKAY! Like I said. Time to go, before things get out of hand. Talk to y'all soon!

YES, I'M STLL ALIVE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!








Oh my goodness! Do you remember me? Well, if you don't, I'm Kylie and I'm a super lazy butt! I apologize so much for lack of posting. You see, Lizzie has had just unbearable amounts of schoolwork to catch up on, so the computer hasn't been really free for awhile. Plus, I like putting pretty little pictures in my posts, and Lizbug just hasn't had any time to take any new ones- until today! Not her best work, she was in a rush, but hey- I can post without it being so boring again! Yayyy!

The outfits that 'Nani and I are wearing, as well as the paddleboard set, were sent to us for free by Lizbug's friend, Georgia, who is known as FREEAmericanGirl on YouTube :) Lizzie made a video of her opening the stuff, you should go check it out! Thank you Georgia! We love and appreciate everything!!!


Speaking of YouTube, how do you guys like our new tutorials? Lizzie has so much fun making them, and she hopes that you enjoy them just as much! She recently gave away a doll-sized white iPad 2 to one random person who entered the giveaway, and that just so happened to be AmericangurlLanie! Congratulations!





Lizzie just got back from a speech competition. It was at her church. She placed 3rd, and received a gift card of $25, which will go towards her savings for Kanani's Shave Ice Stand. She thinks she has enough money- she'll probably tally up how much she has after I let her back on the computer. So much has been going on, and I really apologize about that! I'm going to try to post at least once a week from now on, although Lizbug's school work is priority!


This is probably such a boring blog post, so I'll spice it up with our video plans for the weekend:

1) Lizzie's SevenFabulousTeens video (She's Monday, you know!)

2) Kanani's Fishtail Hairstyle How-To

3) HOPEFULLY a music video on her personal channel, TubingLizzie! She's in love with a new song, and just HAS to music-video-ize it! ("music- video-ize?" Is that even a word?!)

4) Some sort of doll craft tutorial

Of course, she still has homework, so everything is depending on that! Well, enjoy the pictures! Also, please note: the exclamation mark button on our keyboard only works if you press it REALLY hard- so if we ever seem less enthusiastic than we should be about something, it's because this button has failed us! GIRR!!




Oh, and by the way, we heard back from Sarah's (stephenswodadancer's) boss at the Brass Armadillo about the webchat. It seems as though she's been so sick that she's been out of work for awhile! We all hope Sarah will feel better soon! We all love you, Sarah!

Well, time for night-nights! How should I end this post? Hmmm...I'll tell you some things to check out on YouTube to keep you busy:
1) LaniesNatureCollab & KananisAlohaCollab Auditions
2) LaughDreamCollab
3) Our new tutorials (if you haven't seen them already)

:) Good night! See you..er... whenever I can! :)

LIBERTY JANE??? *FAINTS*








Good golly! It's been such a busy weekend! Lizbug has been doing homework and sewing nonstop for the past 48 hours! Phew! That's why I didn't post last night. I was trying on a new outfit that she made for me! Yup, that's right! As in SEWING!!! You see, Lizzie's sewing machine broke a few months back, and was only repaired a month ago. But, poor Lizzie, she has been just too busy to set it up and get back on track with her sewing- until yesterday!


Lizzie probably has about 10 patterns from Liberty Jane Clothing, as well as the Design Academy handbook. She hopes to actually take the Design Academy course over the summer (she is just too busy now). So, she made a gathered sleeve tee (white fabric w/ skull and crossbones w/ heart shaped eyes and bows on their heads..er..skulls), and a scoop neck tank top (black fabric) to go over it. Both of these shirts were made from shirts that were a little too small for Lizzie now, and were both made from the T-Shirt Variations Pack pattern book by Liberty Jane Clothing.

We call the outfit "That's So Avril," because it is inspired by the singer Avril Lavigne. In these pictures, I'm wearing the handmade tops, along with a denim miniskirt (this was from Mia's collection in 2008, however Lizzie has a pattern for miniskirts, too), a Retro Cupcake necklace for 18" dolls (Lizzie made it, there are ones like it in her Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/4evragz), Marisol's beanie (we believe it came with her accessories in 2005), and the Black Gladiator Sandals we bought from Liberty Jane Clothing.





Bela's converse...
..or Gladiator Sandals



However, Lizzie thinks the black converse she got with Bella might've worked better for an Avril- inspired outfit. Although this outfit isn't for sale, Lizzie has decided to become a Liberty Jane Partner, so she will be selling doll clothing like this outfit on her Etsy in the future! What kind of outfits should she make? Which shoes do you prefer for this outfit (Gladiator or Converse)?? Let us know!

SUPER BIG PLAN, Such a Small Weekend...

Hiia everyone! Kylie here! I apologize for not blogging until 10:50 pm tonight. Or...have I been blogging this late? (long pause)


Anyways, it's Friday! So, as the saying goes, TGIF!! But, oh golly, Lizbug has SO much to do in just a matter of 2 days! Tomorrow, from 9am-12pm, she will be at her acting high school, as she leads into Tech Week for the upper class men's mainstage production. We wish we could tell you all about it, but we're afraid that might give away what high school Lizbug goes to (well for her acting course, anyways). So what is Tech Week? That's basically when the crew and cast work together, organizing stage directions and such. Boring? Yes. Hard work? Yes. But, hey every production needs it in order to be..well..a production of course!

Besides that, Lizzie has missed 3 days of school this week (Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday), so she has some homework to make up, but luckily, not a lot. Mostly because the Juniors had to take a standardized test, so the schedule for those days were different resulting is teachers being lazy. Lizzie didn't mind their laziness too much, but she really dislikes having to make up quizzes and tests...

On the bright side, she has finally decided to contact Sarah (yes, THE Sarah, STEPHENSWODADANCER SARAH). You're probably all like "HOW is she gonna do that? Sarah is like...FAMOUS!! And she hasn't been online much.."

Well, yes those things are very true, however, when Lizbug won her customized Bella Swan doll in the eBay auction back in October, Sarah sent various ways to contact her (yes, even her job's phone #)! Now, why would she do that??? Well, she wanted to interview Lizzie over their webcams, of course! Lizzie had contacted Sarah about this awhile ago, but with everything that poor Sarah's been through (her grandmother's death, and kidney stones), Liz doesn't blame her for taking the time off.

She just wants to let Sarah know that through all the drama people are causing, she still is her #1 fan, and that there will be no pressure on doing the live video chat, but that she hopes it will eventually happen one day.

Wow it's 11:03! I call that SPEED BLOGGING!! You're probably wondering why my thoughts weren't interjecting during this post...it's because they fell asleep- they were just so exhausted from annoying me so much! Well, time for bed! Talleyhoo!

Dollie Do's & Fancy Shoes!


Aloha, everyone! So, you're probably wondering why I freaked out last night, correct? No duh, Kylie. THOUGHTS, DON'T EVEN START WITH ME. Fine, we'll back off.  For real? Honest and for true. Well we'll see how long that lasts....Now, where was I...oh yes! My freak out! Well, if you'd like to know (which I'm assuming you would), Samster (better known as "Samantha") walked out of the bathroom last night with a full head of bouncy, shiny beautiful curls! We were all SO surprised!
You see, Lizbug gave her a Downy dunk, followed by a boiling water perm, because her hair was just so frizzy, and completely straight. Samster was her first doll, and she didn't really know how to care for doll hair at the time. She had steamed Samster's hair before, which, I admit, did help a little, but I mean, WOW. The Downy did WONDERS to her hair! After Lizzie rinsed it all out, she rolled Sam's hair into curlers, and poured boiling water over them (making sure the water didn't get on the wig). Then, she waited impatiently for a few hours, before she finally gave up and used the cool setting on a hair dryer to dry Sammie's hair. When the curlers came out, she was ASTONISHED!! Sam's locks were completely FRIZZ FREE, and BEAUTIFULLY BOUNCY!! She is like a brand new dollie all over again!


Although I love Samster's once again new 'do, I'm kinda gonna miss her old hair. It was a reminder of how much love Lizzie had given her as a child. Well, Lizzie can still remember it through pictures, videos, and the smell of orchids and rainfall that are buried in her sweet new curls (she had to mix 2 different types of Downy so she'd have enough, and they were both scented). Also, has anyone else SEEN our new Liberty Jane shoes?? Lizbug bought the Black Gladiator Sandals and the Brown Moccasins. We LOVE them! In fact, I'm wearing the moccasins right now! No you're not. UGH! You thoughts were doing SO WELL keeping to yourself for this post! What gives?! Look down. *Looks down at bare feet* What the...... JOSEFINA!! YOU ALREADY HAD YOUR TURN!! GIVE ME BACK MY MOCCASINS!!!
