Tropical Duo

So...
On a wave of affection caused by Hawaii Fun Miko purchase and tongue-in-cheek Ken's Hawaii shorts fraud... I could not stop myself from having this Tropical Fun / Hawaii Splash Vintage Ethnic moment LOL

Here is my Miko and Christie in mini messy end-of-winter holiday session;-)

 snatching beach fashions from everyone basically;-)

 oh the deer eyes and coral lips<3

 wait? do you know already how beautiful this Christie is LOL?

 hahaha

She met with her bestie in the botanical garden or was it at the edge of tropical jungle??

Miko borrowed sweatshirt from the Fashionista Ken, oh well...

 So pretty together!
These molds are makaing me super sentimental and happy
- probably more than Teresa and Superstar even...

 Finally outside...

 

..and now let's obsess a little bit about Miko's great lavender eye shadow, her great steel-grey eyes and amazing blinks! and have you seen this unusual single brown bottom eyelash!?

 This face sculpt is bloody phenomenal!!! Strong and delicate and soo 'Asian' <3

this girl has funny 'skin' and her hair line is questionable but she must be one of my favorites!

<3

 While browsing my folders I stumbled upon few pics.. they do not make much of a story but what a lovely dolls these are!!! I wish I had more time...

Summer and Winter beauties<3

AA Mackie and #princesproblems...

Rapunzel and her hair - Summer edition LOL

(this is fab indigo eye-shadow duo... if with my Gap lady was deboxed;-)

super extra bonus... Rapunzel goes casual!

Mr Dolly no. 2/ 146

..and you will meet a dark, tall stranger kind of entry...

As it usually goes I just popped to my local Tesco for bread and milk but decided to just have a quick check at near by charity (had to sneak by the Flower shop I dream to work at but did not get the answer).

..and there he is - underneath some dreadful Action Man and some slutty modern Barbie - fully dressed with shoes, filly articulated and with rooted hair - my new brunet Sporty Fashionista Ken (nr 146 in my collection)  for 1 pound... (the blonde one is a boy-doll for my son)...

This is how he came...

 nice details and great colours!

not  a bad mold at all...

 Ok a lovely mold, beautiful lips and fierce blue eyes...

The bluishness of this guy 'inspired' me and I could not resist and as it was April (nearly year ago!) he had to face the proper flower power photo session...

he looks like a caterer on break in this shirt I know...

Hello girl, Welcome to my Blue Flowers' Kingdom...

and then I started to play with clipart:-)

who is the bluest of them alll!!!

cheers!

(need to make him some clothes as he teared this vintage female blouse...)

Bootsale 23.04.17 - No. 144,145

That was a good one. Nice weather, early raising up so that I managed to tour both carboot sales - the grassy farm one as well as the P+R one. yay!

It was again definitely worth the effort.

Not only that I got new Lego 3in1 for my son and fun vintage spelling game - I also got myself fab stylised idyllic printed in England fabric and a doll seize amount of a great forest fruits one! Tried luck with reselling collectible macdonalds toys. This fabulous brown ethnic printed top is my Jean Paul Gautier for 2 pounds! It's so cool i'd wear it daily!
...and as you can already see I had some dolly luck as well...

So first I got Hollywood Hair Barbie figurine for like 20 p....
Then I was walking around this Tropical Ken several times.... i don't care about this mold and tanned blonde dolls obviously...but the fact that I have Christie from this line and his pants are from the same fabric got me gender play happy;-) [none of my dolls never smell of any super cool coconut:-/]

In a mean time, short on money as usually I stumbled upon stall with many dolls and a teenage seller. I tried so hard not to get carried away and managed to get only with this exciting sachet of her doll accessories:-)

 after I unpacked and sorted everything t looked like that <3

 close-ups :-)

yay!

 

 nom nom nom

I came back to pick up Ken for his pants only and lady reduced it for me to 50 p LOL

Next I have found Extreme Green Teen Skipper again. I regretted slightly being so strict about this blonde beauty the last time - I decided not to resale but to reroot this one (my doll no. 144). She has dark eyebrows and platinum blonde dry hair I cannot stand anyway:-)

 She has both earrings and ring intact.. unfortunately I didn't have time to do anything with her since last Spring so just a pic in original clothes:

Soon after I spotted an Olsen sister. I have read about her on blogs for so many times I actually got the bug... her face is so realistic:-))) I'll 'naturally' rebody her...
Her salmon-copper overalls turned out to be part of skiing MyScene set - the one with brown winter jacket taht came with one of the latest Livs...

I am a good girl and i still do not own her sister or any other of the versions... they are very cool dolls and so are the real ever-changing sisters but no no;-)

 ohoh

The similarity is uncanny..
can't identify however which Ashley edition is wearing black ribbon choker...

There obviously was Miko as well. I got one before from eBay but I was still delighted to find such a desired and old doll just waiting there...she has slightly broken neck but wears very cool casual vintage clothes:-) I will keep here for a while as a double for a pure pleasure of owning the doll of my childhood dreams and will let her go to new loving home:-)

p.s. Sneakpeek from the future...Asley (doll no. 145) ended up on Liv's body and had her outdoor session too
