Carboot 12.07.20

You know what it means - thelookout historical ones - the first two after end of lockdown (aka 'inbetween waves').

I went alone, by bus, wearing a facemask...there have been fewer stalls and fewer buyers, everybody a bit shy to touch anything...

I didn't get super lucky but it felt great and I was on a kids' for kids stuff they declared interest in during lockdown games...

The first one was very shabby and small but I managed to get these feather-weight hollow vintage clones.

I have a soft spot for these...so sad a tacky...spooky twins...

Things have been done to them...but at least someone played with them...

here they are - cleaned and brushed - still creepy-cute and waiting for their diorama moment...

Edit

Still no proper photoshoot but I was 'lucky' enough too purchase yet another set of soft-shell clone dolls - this time rubbery brunette and dark-haired 'Cindies' ;-)

I think they will do a great job as paranoid timid set of sisters!

Just look eat them!

Holiday Boy (my doll No 193)

Today a new doll - a gorgeous mixed-race boy with a sun-kissed afro.

I love his face, body not so much...but I hear with some neck manipulation he is a good match for make-up ken MtM body...well one day...as for now as he arrived in mail - only slightly refreshed HighSchool Musical 2 Chad doll.

Not my thing but he could definitely be my crush <3

Oh, I just remembered I had Taylor as well - great face, never got to change her body...

So here he is - emerging star!

friends t-shirt and vintage pants...

he was a very brave boy...

..and took part in #travel photo shoot for #monday$dolls instachallenge 

with @bellabelladolls immediately after...

flatlay as per usual:

...couldn't decide - only to change the concept completely

...after all that we just grabbed a backpack and went hiking in our 

Surrey Hills (Area of Outstanding Beauty)

...so yeah..a bit stiff but fine looking young man...

Sport #monday4dolls

 Today one of my fav and legendary lockdown sessions (22.06.20).

End of school year asks for The Games or at least a bit of a Sport Day...

well maybe fitness fashions in a improvised locker room - more like it...

Enjoy!!

Sporty flatlay of all sorts :-)

My vintage tennis set I take great pride in ;-)

Let's go - the first day must be, still close to my heart, Atlanta Olympics Gymnast Christie...

yup, still love her loads!

As you can see she is very multidisciplinary LOL

...and her Olympic leotard is on display...

Classic beauty...

..ok, let's do this - warm up time!

weee!!

(My usage of wooden  ruler in this one still cracks me up)

yup, still got it...

Let's see....

hahah, yeah... I really had lots of fun with this one...

...also yeah, apologies for a bit of ethnic stereotype but I really like my darker dolls <3

Oh well done, doll!

Last but not least, no not the official Mtm Footballer, that would make lots of sense...

Lets have beach Christie with one of my first successful afros (before Mattel cough up not so long ago)

such a great facemold it is :-)

A bit underfunded school that is but they are doing ok....

<3
