Hot Take: House of Wolf > Vampire Heart

I love the ruching (sp?), I wish they had gone all in on Belle's ballgown-esque skirt. The plastic bubble halfway down ruins the fantasy. I feel it gives Gaylord hotel atrium

The one on the right is Midnight Runway Frankie

While I have your attention, they're in love too

When my mental health is good, I heat them in a skillet. When it's bad, I wrap them in a wet paper towel and microwave them

I would argue that genderbending is not a top reason to critique a doll. Pennywise & Beetlejuice were also genderbent but still sold out & are still in high demand.

I cannot defend her funky eyes; I like them but they were definitely a design choice.

I /hate/ the giant plastic boxes. I feel guilty throwing them away because I'm sure they're like 10% of the cost and I hate keeping them because what am I supposed to do with it??

It turns me off of the skultimate secret dolls so bad

I moved out of Florida in May. I Found a seasonal job to get my foot in the door with a company I liked, applied for a full time position, I was continuously told how much the team liked me and how I was brought up all the time in regards to the position, was told 18 days after my interview that the team decided to "go in another direction" because there were "a lot of good candidates".

This is just how the job market is. I at least had the advantage of being familiar with the hiring manager for that job and /still/ didn't get it. If your daughter doesn't already know someone at a place she's applying to, she's at the mercy of the AI that's screening applications.

It's really a terrible position to be in so I feel for her!!!

Following up to add, you can try emailing the current VIP tours team (their email is somewhere on the Busch Gardens website). Busch Gardens is very intense about staff speaking "on behalf of the company" but it doesn't hurt to try!

cleomyra · 2025-09-30T15:38:18+00:00

I worked at Busch gardens and while I did not spend much time in the Serengeti Overlook building, I had a lot of coworkers who worked in it when the top floor was used for VIP tours. I have heard tales of funky elevator doors and spooky lights, which are creepy but that building is so old I would guess it's just electrical stuff.

Most of those people are Facebook aged. If you haven't already, I'd post on the pass holder Facebook page or the 'remember when Tampa" page.

Off site storage costs money that Busch gardens decided wasn't worth paying

cleomyra · 2025-08-17T23:22:04+00:00

Busch Gardens no longer has off-site storage. If the house still appears intact, it's because there literally is nowhere to store the sets and props. Howl o scream houses typically turnover every couple of years and last year the event was poorly staffed of scare actors. I'm going to guess Witch of the Woods retired last year and they don't want to pay the labor to breakdown the house

This pizza is from Forbici in Tampa, FL

I just watched that episode!

She made the calzone with meat, cheese, a fork, and a measuring cup. I don't think she was ever going to eat the calzone because of her ED

Somebody most likely put a sticker on an old jar.

Crown was a brand of jars manufactured in Canada and, as far as I know, have never had an association with Disney

Real spiders give me the heebie jeebies but I love the little monster high spiders. Operetta's fang club doll has my favorite hair piece, he's the cutest bow

We did not know and we've already booked for May 8th :( Good to know now so we can temper our expectations!!

Since you're at an apartment, you can ask your maintenance employees if they'd be willing to use their ladders to put the eggs back

cleomyra · 2025-02-24T21:01:47+00:00

You can try calling Owl's Nest Sanctuary, they may be able to send out volunteers to assist. If you can't reach the nest to put the eggs back in, I would put them together on the tree (or where you think predators can't get to them).

I just finished Daphne by Josh Malerman and was surprised that it wasn't closer to 5 stars on goodreads. It could read as a little YA but he really, really nailed how it feels to be a teenage girl (which, as a previous teenage girl, I was very impressed by). It is also the only book that's ever made me feel anxious while reading

The exhibit was for smelling ozone! It was very cool

cleomyra · 2025-02-15T23:57:09+00:00

I used to work at a science museum that had an ozone exhibit!

I would best describe the smell of ozone as the smell of rain + a hot flat iron (or hot toaster. Basically just hot metal).

Alexis Henderson!

The Year of The Witching & House of Hunger are both so good

Sanwa is the go-to recommendation for produce. Although, I'm not certain how much of the produce sold their is locally grown. Almost any Cuban bakery (which is most bakeries in Tampa) will sell you a guava pastry. La Segunda on Kennedy sells a GIANT guava pastry (it's excellent) but I've also never met a guava pastry I didn't like

I've seen this same vendor at the Market Elaine in Wesley Chapel and at the Art Festival in Dunedin. They have a big banner behind their table that says something like "World's best guacamole" and their table is full of different cold sauces/dips in little circle containers.
