Charity shop Christmas Fair x 10

OK, ok this one doesn't even count as all proceeds went to Break (children fostering) charity!

So I went to local Tesco for bread and butter only to find that all local shops of the neighbourhood are having some christmas-ish (that was on 26.11) outdoor things going on... and one of the charities had two crates/boxes (you usually sell used scarves from) full of fashion dolls... you can imagine the immediate adrenaline rush, LOL I did not care anymore who will see me and with rest of my dignity I went through the whole two boxes of dressed and  nude dolls £1 each...

Shocking amounts of MyScenes with jewelry, tons of generation girl Barbies....only one AA, few tanned ...and one successful and consulted clothes swap. 
Charity volunteer lady was a bit surprised with my pile but somewhat quickly came to the conclusion, thinking aloud, that unloved toys must be very sad indeed and they ale little people after all <3
Then just run behind the corner to my house, to get £10 from my partner "please don't ask what for";-)

I tried to limit myself but My Scenes were so new-like, one of them was wearing HollywoodNails clothes I've been looking for  for a while, then I found the original doll - her body is so fair and semi articulated... and a version of Poca wearing pink bikini..belonging to Pear Beach Christie which I found seconds late with a broken leg...

 Christie in her originals in stead on navigate mermaid's top

Commercial yet charming Pocachontas from ColourSplash Hair line...

this mold is so fab that i will actually keep her for repaint and re-bodying...

 Then two MyScene Boys. Interestingly made uaing the same facesculpt.

 They are semi-articulated and AA has most charming face but they are not proportional for Barbies

 Apparently they actually swapped their clothes...

 Girls had interesting make-up colour schemes, original silver jewellery and most amazing hair...

 This beauty also wore a nice Mattel's dress from this fashion pack ('Gala in Chickago'):

This one has been wearing genuine fashion as well...

 and is from swapping heads line...

 ..again she swapped fashions with the brunette, Noleen...

This beauty seems to wear summer blue dress originally - here I guess Vienna from Discover the World Barbie magazines...

 

Then her...fab Mackie mold, original cotton jewelry, hair in fab state...

 I kept her in a box for nearly an year but I didn't have a change of heart and i'll let her go now..

She photographs very well but I can't deal with how blue her eyes are... 

here she is in few close-up before spa...

Oh, and the last of MyScenes - Titian beauty...

 reunion...

 Tidied up, to go and wait in a box...

 and few successful swaps = MyScene boy's clothes are superb on 16" dolls!

..oh can't wait for the next charity shop / carboot sale haul..

No numbers given as most of these went for parts, 

fashions redistributed and heads and some clothes were re-sold...

My doll nr 74

What a great doll to celebrate a full year of absolute doll fever!

Almost exactely year ago I went for winter break  to Finland and Sweden to comme back with an official doll's collector birthday gift - a bag of second-hand corpses... blue haired Teresa was there, purple haired marmeid was there...

This doll came from Stockholm's charity as well and was purchased by my partner for leaving me alone with kids again!

He was briefly instructed about molds and bodytypes - in short the darker the better and every joint counts.

He came back with a lovely Christie wearing dated, yet festive Fashion Avenue dress and shoes!

To my surprise one glimps was enough to identify my new roomate - she has mustard yellow nailpolish! This way unintentionally I managed to collect full line of these dolls! She has very natural looking hair with tiny braids (and no bangs) so the first edition, yay!

Here she is in a quick late night session with rest of my Asha Christies /so far :-)

She has most fab make-up, deep, dark and burgundy-copper. Original clothes are as good as other dolls' from this collection with extra points for my-favouruite-colour;-)

 Its gonna be lots of fun recreating them...
