Adventures in rebodying - Marie Solange (nr 147)

The impulse finally came from The DollObserver forum to 'activate' one of my Integrity toys heads that I got (myself) for Christmas (2016).
The page runs 'Theme of the month' photo honorary competition - that month it was all about Animal Print. I basically have zero clothes like that - both in real life and dolls' wardrobe... Luckly I've found MyScene boy's scarf with some leopard bits...

Skin tone is a nightmare on this one (she is a bit more red than tanned actualy) and it won't get any better so just let's ignore it - she used the wrong foundation and lighting is wrong;-)

Please welcome my mixed race beauty - Marie Solange!

a bit of a stereotype of and 'exotic brunette' head to toe, I'm sorry...

 hahha, these pictures does not make any sense at all:-)

lets try few close-ups in different light to cover up the fact that her body is not matching, hello!

 that's a very well designed sculpt with a good make-up. I just wish her eyes weren't blue...

 Definitely her angle with me.. less bitchy this way;-)

 

oh I think I'll need take few more pics some time soon... reinvent her somehow....

and belly button bodies somehow... oh dear don't seem to work for me anymore...

p.s. here is Paris Williams rocking her scarf. Stiff, braise but charming...

Bootsale haul 07.05.2017

After rainy Bank Holiday Monday disaster I was determined to have fun on double carboot sale the following Sunday (07.05.2017)...

It is as exciting as it is exhausting. Not only I have to get up at 7 on Sunday:-(, i recently calculate don google maps that between two locations and my home I make over 6 miles on my bike plus around 3 km of walking along the aisles...  oh well, sports for dolls....

so this week I was quite lucky and enjoyed myself a lot...
Treated myself with a vintage woolly scarf and stylish folk furry & rosy hat, 50 p each
Mother of pearl coasters from Philipines and kindly spent 1.50 for my daughters Frozen equipment cause she keeps bragging about it like never before;-)

from dolly department I bought a furniture in a wrong scale but full of china goods...
Half dead G2 pony for resale and set of never opened Cabbage Patch dishes (for resale):-)

no brunette or dark beauty to join my collection but a lovely Cool Green Teen Skipper again - this one goes to a new home...green thread still in her hair, all jewelry in place, just a bit loose in her joints;-)

Wonderfull Capri Barbie from 1981 and three Bratz Babiez, 20 p each;-)

Capri Barbie brings bunch of memories... someone must had to have her in my surroundings... her make-up with green triangles is crazy cool and her fashion shouts 80's!

..and she of cours has curly hair which I never had chance to experience as a child but now find it a little bit of nightmare....

I refreshed her and befiore she went to a new loving home to retire I had little play and a mini session with her cousin from Western Fun series:-)

'Mine' is made in Malaysia and has lovely coloring and rosy cheeks:-)

 variations

p.s. to cheer myself up I once. 'after school', got myself? three petite uglies;-)

One Blythe bigger than my tiny one from year ago but exactly the same...

and duo of not signed post-Strawberry Shortcake dolls but vintage ones:-)

uffff that's all, Im off!

My Little Teresa

Today more positive thoughts about Spring and a souvenir from the last season (06.05.2017).
I felt sorry for my Dream Glow Teresa to be portrait as a icy cold princes due to her sky blue hair all the time... so I styled her in cheerful colours and wedged sandals. Her hair got adorned with all My Little Pony hair extensions and accessories I could find in my household...

Please welcome My Little Teresa!

No particular story line or order here - just pure joy of colour

 kawaii af

yay artificial hair;-)

yay flowers! yay effects...

this one must be one of my favourites...

 oh bluebells and forget-me-nots...few of my favourites...

from here it all goes rather metaphysical..

good times! and well done SpinMasters with this Liv doll dress <3
