Summer

Finally one (more) session and doll which is season appropriate... who cares pics are from last summer LOL
I thought I would break the mold (see what I did here) and will you Cali Barbie first... here she is the perfect sun kissed and tanned - possibly the best proper contemporary blonde in my collection...

I just realised I do own Teresa and (yet another most perfect) Lea from exact the same line... idea for yet another redressed dolls session... (hold your horses doll!).

Anyway - here she is enjoying Adriatic, Croatian adventure and some hike is Slovenian Alps.

...quick change of the clothes and countries...

 serious Barbie trekking shoes;-) in close-up and action...

a rest...

 and a proper accomplishment - over 1700 m above sea level:-)

belly bottom out 0 so stylish and practical;-)

Cali Teresa revisited

Hi!
I already have other outfit for her and even proper photo session is done but i thought I will share this funny impression - improvised photoshoot of imporvised clothes...
As you remember (obviously!) it took me quite sometime to overcome this clash of tanned skin and frosty make-up...

here is my mini Polar Cali - Pearl Princess Teresa 2016 or something...oh just forget about it

Cali Lea revisited

Revisited not re-styled as she is perfect...
She doesn't need any adornment me thinks...
By accident and chance I stumbled upon two boxes of dolls clothes in charity shop but they were very worn-out, tangled with each others velcros and rather expensive (plus i don't like artificial, stuff with glitter obviously). Managed to find few classic to resale and these leather looking slim pants and smart black sandals with a real closing strap (I guess they might be spice girl doll's).

Around the same time have been refreshing balkan folk doll with a very lovely face and well done costume - she had this black woolly vest with golden metallic embroidery... so Leia spent sometime sporting this ethno black outfit sitting on my desk...

Here is my fok dol - I'm an anthropologist after all...

 

i'll finish up with more ethnic tunes...

and a comparsion...

My Doll No 29

Time for one of my favs...who, again, waited for months to be refreshed and 'published'.
Another Kayle/Lea mold. She came in Famous Ebay Box with my doll No27 creating tis lovely duet of similarities and differences.

Skin tone is similar yet make-up and eyes take the doll into completely different direction. Long straight hair, stylish short fringe, relicts of earrings, no necklace - difinitelly more 'Asian' look§ So happy and proud to finally be able to go that way:-)

 amazing bone structure and basically no colorful make up - wonderful!

oh whats not to love!

and then you start to compare = double adoration:

and get confused again but tottaly in love with Kayla /Lea only to realise you are not the only on, dear internet...and then eureka!

Lenara - the first second-hand doll I got myslef as a adult and gradueeis of the same breed;-)

good heavens!

p.s. this is how 'my doll' if I may call her thet looked like in a box: yet another tanned i'd probably ignore with her original accessories...
