While browsing the News section on the upcoming New York Dolpa on Den of Angels I came across the curious word/abbreviation  "Dolpha." I had seen this a few times previously as well as "Dolpa" and was curious as to which was the correct abbreviation. I had asked the lovely staff at Volks USA to clarify this. Dolpa is the abbreviated form of Dolls Party. There is no "h" in it because there is no "h" in Dolls Party. That was three years ago. Seeing that incorrect abbreviation again made me wonder where it began, how it happened (I'm guessing an incorrect translation) and why it continues to persist. I guess its just one of the quirks of the doll hobby.
