Wonder Woman blue 171

At last!
She is mine!
Still havent seen teh movie but the doll stirrred lots of excitement last year - perfect face, interesting new sculpt and articulated natural looking athletc body...

She has became one of those dolls it was cool to have, rebody and post on social media - you get very excited, influenced but also bored to death soon after... that happen with lots of Fashionistas for me tbh..... but when i was down on a winter day getting my hours cut in my shitty job I did not think twice seeing her on clearance (took me ages to realise she might be in superhere /action figure / marvel, not fashion dolls section, hmmm)...

Anyway - here she is.. a fun evening with deboxing and redressing - hence the 'yellowness' of kitchen lighting...


making eyecontact...

other versions with too much molded stuff and shoe clue...

 pottentialy gorgeous gown in sapphire...but made from 10000% acrylic/polyester fabric with no hem of edges... judging on shoes - only an excuse to hide the sword anyway;-)


worth copying in different textile...

...lke I care - but sword is nice and detailed...

Wonder Woman breaking free!! 
with knot-bun in tact..

 hello!! (with prety graceful palm)

(and hello handjob action hand..)

hello interesting athletic back! (and short neck...)

free at last! time to stretch...


...and ready to pose...

and punch...

oh! still trapped...


this is fun!!

whoaaaa!!

(dancing in the dark action shot...)

thats where the sword hides...soooo comfortable abd secure;-)

the waist out of proportions unfortunately...

...not to mention crotch...

(yay for fully recycled cardbord box....
however mat and wobly and not so luxurious as before #smellofnewdoll)


Well hello there at last...



trying out the angles...


...and finaly being a good fashion doll...with a rediculously narrow waist and no chest...

...but very good taste in vintage clothing and last century's knitwear....

...but also more cntemporary London Glomour ...


(I have made this coat from an old umbrella... need to get my sewing machine fixed...)

...now something more traditional and floral again...

she is so charming when cought off guard...

...and even more when playing Klimt - live;-)

Bootsale 16.10.17 (165)

Oh good memories... one of last carbootsales of mine before that winter and radical change of circumstances including location:-(

***

unfortunatelly due to the main laptop failure and strange gap in hard disk archives I cannot access thes epics atm... but below is a list for me to remember:

-2 x Zapf Angelina Ballerina Snow White and Cindirella in clothe sI do hope to adapt for Blanka
-all american Kira
-teen skipper (freckles) - doll no 165
-AA dressed male (robbed of his clotes and shoes as worth much more than 50p
-3 ponies

***

UPDATE:

fixed my laptop! here they are!

hahha where to start...
i absolutely shouln't buy these Lalaloopsies but they are soo quirky and designer... nor the 3 for $1 pony situation...oh well



squeeeee (but managed to resell Gummybear with profit;-)


9blonde beauty at new home now, poor Snow White still waiting for makeover...)

Poor brown-green plastic dude (cant even be bothered to find his name;-) got robbed of his cool clothes - gone but not forgotten xxx



and here she is - Kira and Skipper with freckles and cool dress I use quite often actually...


Skipper turned out to be Pajama Party Tote 2003 - from playset with barbie and sleep-over bag - imagine that!!!!



My Kira turned out to be...All American girl (this one with paper trainers)
but since I have three better ones (and one waiting for some help) and her eyes are crazy turquoise and just huge - i bravely and honorably let her go to a new loving home...


but i have had few beauty hair salon moments with her:



p.s. got myself this ugly vintage German doll - she is perfect! in her own category of blaise creeps...

Bootsale 24.09 (No 161)

Bootsale like all the others...so many people, very few coins to spend, many items i would probably buy year ago but how many Rapunzel bodies do i need;-)

from lack of exciting doll goods I got myself moomin pillow case...


fun mixed media textured aplique blue skirt

mixed beads for kids to keep them busy

tin can truck..

and urban style Breatz throusers I hope to be able to use for other smaller dolls

but then it started...
bunch of nearly black textured weaving hair for all of my future ethnic brunettes LOL


and then in bunch of other random bold, nude baby dolls... tadaaam

Kewpie doll! but I kept poker face and payed like one pound or something similarly offensive to such classic... This one was big huge, like 12" I imagine and I i fullfilled my intention of reseling her but with slightly bleeding heart as I really wanr to replace my childhood toys - tiny twins my mum brought me from her trip to UK in 80's...
(she had chewed fingers and was rather mouldy inside...)

happy and prowd I strol with grumpy face by the vintage toy trader... she always has shocking vinage stuff but priced accordingly... today she surprised me... I saw a lean pale body, couldnt resist and touched it, and placed the limbs in order.... but it was too big, out of my interest and comfort zone AND I had not enough money anyway...
but after few rounds it hit me - noçw or never - fight in the name of all nude dolls taht need saving!

With my blaise face and poking 'it' with finger I asked if the proce is negotiable maybe, baybe?
The only answer I got was - 'Six?' 
which was exactly what i wanted to hear!!! and all that i have had left...

tadaaaam - here she is... Blanka
accidentaly my first BJD ever.

so creepy and voulnerable she got my heart... forever





cheeky-sad face is everything...
 ...and i discovered why/that her head is actually opening, yay



and yes - I am now very tempted to have one pair of eyes in every colour!
her eyelashes were falling off so I used it as an excuse to make her even more strange-looking<3
her eyeballs are marked with glue and however ger plastic is nice quality and matt I had no hopes for any fancy original.. no markings what so ever - let the 13" pale girl identification extravaganza begin... uckly she hes quite characteristic face and not so well designed palms and feet...

soon after, with little help of my friends we agreed taht she might be Cosette doll.
22" tall, 1/3 scale, 12  hoints or something... around 50 dollars for a new one...
cool but cheap enough to play fearlessly..









oh sooo TBC!
