She had a beach feet /syndrome/ so I started research even before she arrived - I opted for Teresa /as I was in the neo-Teresa mold haze/ but to my surprise and delight a very nice seller informed me its actually Beach Fun Lea (2005).
Hobbit body and bulb head, but hey - my third Lea / Kayla yay!
eBay pics:
She arrived quickly nicely packed...in a textile sleeve and with a chocolate candy:-)
here she's after de-enveloping:
the characteristic doll's feature and details of clothing
unusual, exaggerated, slightly dated eyes...
after closer examination i found out that her hair is a mess, she looked as if she has some overgrown undercut and the oriental dress was a bit touristic and costumy and i don't-really-like-blue... so I decided to sell it to feel better about the situation...
She waited in a queue for most of Spring and half of the Summer but when i used boiling water on her hair and took where she belongs - to the beach - I learnt to like her:-)
here she is boxed - with sunglasses, bikini and pareo :
and with friends from her line
and a sneak peak :

She definitely is a good find. She is looking good after you worked on her hair! Nice job. I own Cali Girl Lea Western Horseback who has the beach feet plus she has articulation. I originally bought her for my daughter, but she is mine now! Her eyes are not a large as the Beach Fun Lea. I actually love her beach feet, but it is hard to find shoes to fit her. She does have a pair of boots and sandals made for those feet. I have a few other Cali Girls too, but have rebodied most of them because of the lack of articulation.
ReplyDeleteThanks she is lots of Fun:-)
ReplyDeleteFeet are lovely when in nature or at the beach..
there is a great clash before what gets published (i have stuff scheduled at this point) what I am writing about ahead and what i just bought:-P
I have the horseback riding one too - a lucky 50 pence find at car boot sale (shoes and clothes incl.) - can't believe my luck - she went with me for holidays to Croatia this year - despite my rule of 'order of apperiance' :-P
bardzo lubię plażówki -
