2 x Fashionistas Smiths + Everafter (No. 228-30)

In today's entry I am happy to report that thanks to my doll hub / chat I was able to secure 2 for 1 Fashionistas Barbie 2023 - with a little help form a doll-friend who lived nearer to Smith's Toys :-)I love networking and internet!

Fashionistas #209 

Poor thing, had to waut untill June 2025 and travelled to Poland:

Fashionistas #206

80's/90's references, crimped hair, totally hair referencing dress, loud makeup and blast-from-the-past face-mold! Plus bonus freckled skin with moles <3

They had to wait a bit long for their turn but they have been nice and pink - on display all this time.

No. 207  (my 228) went to Menorca in February 2025:

No.209 (my 229) finally emerged in June 2025 and went to Wroclaw, Poland:

My Doll No.230 is someone I've been eyeballing for years, but not too hard LOL
Then one day she suddenly fell into my basket LOL.... as they do...

Meet adorable EverAfter - Rosabella 2015

Slightly tatted but happy and fully accessorised...

Extra points for resembling Really Rosy Barbies line from 2003

...but I gave her a bit of makeover ;-)
October 2024 Halloween Pin-up

P.S.
Gosh...I somewhat did not notice her - crazy platform crocs, psychedelic knitted dress, contemporary makeup and great features - Doll #207

Ebay hybrids 226 - 228

 Oh dear...
Today just a quick one to report that I have sinned..

...but they were cheap....

Obviously leftovers from body-snatching collector's feast - unloved hybrids....

First emerged this yoga - mermaid....
I am resisting the new foxy-eyes face craze so I am rather chuffed about this simple new Teresa Head

Hmm very wordy and moulded they are recently

LOL amazon suggestion says it all....

She didn't get a new life at mine as of yet so no number.....

I loved these two when they first hit the market...

          stiffity stiff stiff...but at least she is dark and tall

Great makeup and I love me dark Teen skipper with orange lippy

The natural hair / afro craze is over now - I have quite a few in recent years but I finally figured out how to twist.....so a little project is under way....see below....

I also decided to keep this Millie for now.

Sh ehas a decent screening, and her eyes and slightly violet.

If I ever give her more classy shade of blonde she might be of some arty use...
