My dolls : nr 99 & 100!

This is quite a special entry. The number is nice and round (and not even that scary anymore, LOL) and teh dolls are just amazing. I have been blessed/cursed again by ebay - yet another poorly described auction ending at some funny hour. I must have paid less than a tenner and i don't reme,ber any particularly'bloody' battle happening...

This is how they looked on internetz...

.I never had particular desire or affection regarding The Rockers series...I appreciate how classic they are and how well they represent 'estrada' of the 80's...but their make-up is pointless in my collection...

To be honest I was more excited about the glowing-in-the-dark gown which I remembered from childhood... this would be the last one (except of the 'bag'one) that I desired... :-)))

Here is my bounty on the day of arrival: 

 oh my!

In Superstars department (which I am banned to buy even more than Christies;-) I've got My First with a broken neck and an original european edition dress (worn out a lot)...

yet another fashion play (my first real life Barbie) in a 'period' dress

 

 ..and a beautiful long-haired, crazy-eyelashes Barbie with red lips... 

I had hard time letting her go but I identified her as Birthday at MacDonalds play set doll....

this one...<3

sooo...my doll 99 turned out to be at least 2in1...

not only that I finally got the hold of glowing-in-the -dark starry gown from my childhood memories (although a bit worn out - still fully operative;-)), also the Christie wearing it, although with a broken neck, turned out to be highly desirable Benetton Christie with pink hoops and fab simple eye 

make-up...

Dream glow line (with a silly umbrella/night para-sol) consisted of 3 dolls:

Barbie, AA and Hispanic 

 so bad so good <3

I covered the first Benetton line while describing my Barbie's hand-made re-created outfit.
Here is my Christie on arrival and in her original outfit:

 

Her hair are absolutely amazing heavy and soft at the same time... so I attempted to recreate the characteristic hairstyle

The last doll from this delivery gets the very special No 100!

She is from the Rockers line (which I will illustrate better quite soon;-) and bared Midge facesculpt - with nude lipstick and wild 80's eye make-up.

She managed to keep most of her original outfit yet her very curly hair came in 'semi-dreaded' state...

here she is on arrival...

 and her hair...

..and here the 'magic of make-up' comparison...

so after few months of queuing in the box they finally got her spa. As I had a spare AA body I decided to give Christie some freedom of movement (compromising on her arms tho).

Midges hair soaked in fabric conditioner did not became shiny overnight so I needed to brush them...they are still very wavy just a bit longer...

here is a sneak peak from my fun session from the future (hmmm)

***

on the same day, in the morning I went for a carboot sale and came back with these goodies. Disney's toddler Ana in random yet lovely ethnic dress and slightly damaged Sindy stuff...

and interesting textured deep purple braiding/reroot hair (apparently very stiff) but will see...
