There's been a lot going on over at Tumblr HQ. Here's a quick visual refresher...
In other news I was recently contacted by Mattel, who have chosen to use my color photographs of Cedar Wood (you can see a few of the pics in question just above Abbey), for use on their "official social channels"! They've also chosen to use some pics I took of another doll but I'm keeping that one a surprise. It was through Tumblr that Mattel contacted me, and it was on Tumblr that they saw my pics in the first place. Bottom line: Tumblr is where it's at and it looks like I will be spending less and less time here on the Blogger forums. Even without the Mattel thing happening I was headed in that direction anyway. You guys should head on over! It's extremely fun, yet very informative at the same time. (I find out about new MH and EAH stuff so much faster now that I use Tumblr!) You don't even have to have an account to follow Tumblr blogs, just set it up through your email. That said, I highly recommend you start a blog of your own there. It's free, what have you got to lose! Okay, I'm rambling now so I'll shut up. I'll still be stopping by here very occasionally, but 99% of my time will be spent Tumbling. I hope you decide to join me -- you won't regret it.

Congrats!
ReplyDeleteWill you still be posting doll reviews here? (I adore your reviews, they're so in-depth, and your photos are crystal clear!)
:D
Wow, that is such an honour! Congratulations! The pictures of Cedar are great (and so are the other, of course).
ReplyDeleteI really should start visiting Tumblr more often. Are you eventually gonna reveal what other doll mattel chose to use your pictures for? Great seeing you back, btw :)
Congrats about the Mattel breakthrough! Maybe they'll start sending you dolls for reviews, hmm? I'm a little sad you won't be so active here though. I don't get along with Tumbler at all, only had negative experience with them and it's NOT possible to follow most Tumblr blogs without an account (it can be done through third-party software, but with much headache); it's also impossible to interact with them in any way.
ReplyDeleteThank you all very much! I'm so freaking excited and can't wait to see the shots shared with the world at large!
ReplyDeleteMoving on, I'm not sure that I'll be doing anymore in-depth reviews. It's something I've agonized over because there was a time when it was a great passion of mine. But that passion has waned considerably. I don't know if "micro-blogging" is a thing, but that's what I personally consider Tumblr blogging. Fast, easy, VERY fun, and I still get to share my pics and opinions on the dolls, but in a condensed version. It really fits my personality. I've also made some really great friends over there. Whatever happens, both of the Blogger blogs will remain, so you can always come visit to reminisce on certain dolls, or use the blogs as references. BK, I'm sorry to hear about your troubles with Tumblr. I feel like I've gotten to know the place well but there's always a seedy underbelly, even to things we love. :( If any of you decide to make the switch and want some pointers, you know where to find me on there. I'm always willing to help! And I do hope to see you there!
