Doll No 21

Hello again.

Tonite few wordsand first photos of yet another survivor and extra from my ebay batch. She started a little avalange of gingers renegotiating frames of my "not-a-collection";-)

BTW! This chronological order is killing me btw...I have had 4 amazing finds at boot sale two weekends ago, then I had liek 3 accidental /believe me!/ wins on ebay and a lucky charity shop find (but its platinum + pink and i'm still strong enough to put her on ebay after some pleasant refreshing spa work).

She had very damaged and tangled hair - there is a serious loss... chewed hands and legs...

Yet again, first I really got intrigued investigating molds and trying to track her down and she has spent so much time on my desk I got really attatched...

 Those small turquoise studs with strawberry hair and such a natural make-up is amazing...

 Oh the sweet moments when your head explodes from all those Midges, Mackies and Steffies fo the world... /but you forget that Twist'n'Turn is an important indication:-P/

Anyway in the end I identified her as doll from 1999 Corduroy Cool series 

and her face mold is obviously Mackie.

Colours are great, lovely late 90's mix of clothes yet stil very 'childish' and 'dollish' but slightly more fashionable and tastefull /I vividly remember wearing strips and courduroy myself!/

she used to have a deep plum purple tights...

...and a lovely friends with auburn/chesnut hair/!/ and greenn /!/ outfit...

I'd love to save one liek this sooo ver much

tbc.

...and even more (((here))

My Dolls. No 19

Hello,

In a mean time I wanted to share one of my "spares" with you...

She is an unwanted extra and a damaged one...obviously I have a great heart and can not give

 her home and clothes;-) She could never end up in a bin... essp that she is ginger:-) 

being non-blonde is excuse good enough...

Not until I have played with her hair and gave her contrasting deep purple clothes /after ToyStory 2 action/, through my cmera lense I did noticed her potential...

She obviously needs some help with her 'hairstyle' but look at her pensive, porcelain face/

 ...and those natural and minimal yet detailed eye lines and colors...

At this stage I was intriqued and confused by every non-Barbie Mattel doll and this one had 1991 dated face mold combined with a definitely newer body /belly button meets one-elbow-bended fashion fever or sth;-)/

I would never even start to look her up if not an internet accident - recognising her on somebody else's picture / in somebody else's  collection...

Here she is:

Princess and the Pea - Masquerade Ball, Princess Collection...

look she even has the same issue with her eye...

...and here she comes boxed and with all her accessories:-)

so now I know!

(but is it a Mackie face??)
