My Twinn, the customized doll line that was recently sold off by eToys, seems to back in business. The My Twinn web site has a new look that has been dressed up for the holiday season, too. According to the Roanoke BBB, the company is now owned by TPC Acquisition, Inc. in Chatham, VA.
With the bankruptcy of eToys and the transition to TPC Acquisition, there have been many stories and accounts of My Twinn orders that have gone unfulfilled and dolls who were sent back for repair going missing. One such account has got a happy ending thanks to a Delaware bankruptcy judge who was able to track down a missing My Twinn doll that had been sent back to the hospital. According to DelawareOnline:
Very few creditors in a big-business bankruptcy case walk away as happy as a 9-year-old girl in DeSoto, Texas.
Thanks to the efforts of a bankruptcy judge in Delaware, Renee Hearne got her $150 doll back Wednesday after it disappeared as part of a roughly $106 million Internet toy-company bankruptcy. The blond-haired, blue-eyed doll, named Ginger, was waiting for Renee when the third-grader got home from school.
“I was so surprised. I missed her,” Renee said. “She looks the same thing as me.”
In Wilmington, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Brendan Linehan Shannon pursued the whereabouts of the 23-inch doll after Renee’s mother, Carol Hearne, wrote him a certified letter last week.
I hope this is a new start for the My Twinn company! I hope that all the other dolls sent to the My Twinn doll hospital will be returned to their owners sooner rather than later. Only time will tell whether the third time will be the charm for the My Twinn company.
Just in time for the holiday shopping season, My Twinn has a new rewards program, too. Get up to $50 in Free Goods! My Twinn The Just Like Me Doll: www.mytwinn.com/freegoods
Yes, the hoop nose ones are blah. The studs, like Lena said are very pretty and cultural, even for people who ARENT cultural. Cept on some people its not too pretty, just depends.
I’ve found that on darker skin, like that of Indians, nose STUDS look good. On light skin, they usually look bad.
Nose rings make me ask how far humanity has fallen.
wow. u took the words right i’ve my mouth!! eeewwww. *shudder* tongue rings are……….scary!!! and the lip ones!! hey in that guiness wold records, that had this guy (or was it a girl?) w the most piercings, and well.. W.O.W. it was very scary!! there was not a 1/4 of an inch on his entire body that didn’t have a piercing!!!!!!!
Selena, I saw that guy too. Scary.
I have a friend with a lip piercing. I always stare at it, and I can never take the poor guy seriously. He’s a nice person, but I can’t stop staring at *it*.
Cool sarah!! Im a October, even though you got sapphire.
I saw that to Selena. it freaked me out so I just closed the whole entire book. lol.
Hey guys, I’ve decided I won’t do dance anymore until August. I have issues with school/work/driving/fun time, and I want to wait until I have less to do before I start dancing again.
That said, I’m off to my last dance class til August!
I looked in my ripley’s believe it or not book, and there was a guy with a ton of piercings on him too! It was this guy who aimed to put 3,000 rings all over his body, but he went into shock after just 1,015, so he didn’t reach his goal. Geez, people do some weird things to get in this book…….
ya!! was it a guy??? that stretchyest (hehe!! stretchiest) guy was…freaky!!! *shudder* very freaky!!
hi! i got the chrissa stands strong book today! i can’t wait to read it. i was wondering,do you guys watch the show wipeout? it’s really cool.
hhmmm… well considering i’ve never heard of it, i’m guessing
i’ve never seen it!!! lol idk
lucky!! i have a ton of money (NOT trying to brag) but i can’t waste even $6 b/c i’m saving to go to stay at disney (w/ lena lol.. nah, i’m seeing my old bffs!) then the beach for like a week and a half, and if i’m lucky, Ft. lauderdale to go to wannado city (google it… VERY cool place!!) again!!!!!
BOUNA NOTTE!!! oh, also, i made an LJ account!! except i can’t access the stupid emails, so i can’t post yet, but atleast i have an account!! almost forgot it’s : selenanoel nothing else!!
MY NAME IS NOW THE LINK TO MY LJ PAGE!!!
awwww col LJ page Selena!!! Anybody know of a site I can use as my blog that I can only invite people by email? Also, anyone use Facebook? I’d want to use that, but I doubt my mom would let me use it even though I’m of age! So is it safe?
uuummmm.. i’ve heard of somewhere but i forgot!! LJ is pretty safe, but idk.. my mom got an account on facebook, and some weird ppl contacted her… w/ some non appropriate pics (she just told me) so i dont think fc is very safe… on LJ you can pick who can see ur page..
where is everyone??
Yo Selena!
I could think of names for your stories, but I’d need to see a few chapters first.
Also, Sarah, I too recomend LJ. You can block users you don’t like, and you choose your friends. .
mm-hm!! (like when you say ya, but you don’t talk…)
I think i’m going to edit Ellie’s story, so i’ll just be working on Rose’s (my rose’s

Go ahead, no one’s rushing you.

Hehe, I have her Pj’s (for my dolls, of course)
BTW, you look really pretty in that pic. And if you don’t mind my asking, what doll in Ellie?

ya, i just threw the pjs together, and they looked like something she would wear…
also, i posting the intro thingy and am about to put the next part…
Sorry, what doll *is* Ellie?
Ruthie

Ok….. huh….. yeah, Ruthie makes a good Ellie……. the reddish brown curls and the lovely gray eyes……..
Yeah, I already read it, and added a little bit of constructive criticism, but like the story so far overall.
Hey, Selena, where on ur live journal are the pictures?
oh wow i can’t believe i spelled that wrong! *smacks head* wow..
um… i’m not really sure how to get to the pics, lena, could u tell her???
selena,where are the pics of ur dolls? also,in ur lj pic u look exactly like me! it’s really weird! p.s. i luv ellie’s story u wrote,good job!
Guys, it’s not Ellie’s story, it’s Rose’s (different Rose. Not my mob girl)
You need to get to her profile to click on her user pics. Click “profile” over her pic, then “userpics” and it should show them.

BTW, I’ve decided not to do dance anymore. I amazed my friends at tae kwon do today by doing a one handed cartwheel, and I’ve decided to do cheerleading. NOT the cheessy type that’s all “yay, go team!” but the one that does real acrobatics and tumbling.
oops!! I’m sorry i confused u priscilla!! i’m like that.. alot!! it’s rosalyn (/ maybe Lacy) …
cool!! I used to do that in FL.. but then we moved…
i LOVE dance, but there’s no where around here thts good!! i’ve danced since I was 2 (in England to Orlando, – central Florida professional ballet or something!! – uggh i’m losing my mind!! haha
BOUNA NOTTE!
oh wow!! that is weird!! it was a random pic i took in my room *shrug* not the best (b/c of light) but oh well!!
i take dance too,but i’m switching to a new studio because my old one closed down. i take ballet & tap! btw,my name’s the link to ag now.
Cool Priscilla! ( not about the studio closing, that’s sad) I took ballet and tap too, and then jazz, but I quite a few days ago cause I didn’t have time, and this cheerleading is only one day a week.
I’m still totally and completely in love with dance costumes though….
what is my kks?
I used to love these dolls! they had a new magazine almost every month! Im a twin and I used to want one sooo bad! I hope they come back! I can finally get one with my own money (I was a kid back then lol)
