Have you seen the kickstarter project for the comiccon journal? It's so awesome!

Go for grey! I had a room that was painted "Ash Mist" and it was so awesome! My room was a Red Wing theme, so the grey looked good against the red and black, without being dark.

Maybe these will help

I'm pretty sure my husband will use them as target practice. He has adjusted to my collection, which is small, but still doesn't care for them. I don't have any that are super rare or expensive so I'm not too worried about it.

I find them both fun and frustrating. 

I was never a doll kid, preferred my stuffed animals, but never did understand the dolls that pee. Just a little too realistic and messy for me.

To get to the next level, I recommend welcoming newbies in the intro forum or congratulating people in the brag forum. 

So cute!

I'm allergic to pineapple!
