My dolls no 153 & 154

Today a note on my 11.06.2017 mini extravaganza - thanks to facebook group I has found out that Tesco UK has a 2for1 offer on Fashionista dolls (9.45 pounds).
I have terrorised my family and have been lucky enough to fin of half empty shelves what I wanted:

Fashionista 56 Petite 'Style so Sweet'
Fashionista 57 Curvy 'Zig Zag'

They both have made some noise in on-line community. Petite is one of the fines example of 2001 Mbili/Grace face-sculpt's usage... Very natural face make-up, beloved here red lips and contemporary simple hairdo.

If you go on Flick you can see people rebodying her and doing wonderful things with this doll!

The curvy one is a completely new 2016 mold - famous for her corn rows/ side cut and slightly unfortunate lips design. Sculpt itself is very realistic again and suits fuller figure perfectly:-)

People again have found some great ways to sort this doll out too. Removing the lipstick is an absolute must. Shading the undercut and softening the contrast with the egg-yolk yellow blonde...

It isn't very good idea to do any de-boxing sort of thing as they have been all over the internetz already... Each fashionista comes now with a dress, accessory (bracelet, bag or necklace) and shoes.

I don't think I have time to do anything really creative this time but can always play around with comparisons and friends...




...deboxing tho....I like new easy to open boxes and easy to cut strongs (miss the wire and tape tho..)
There've been few issues tho....my dolls legs from knees down are semi mat...hair stiff and messed up by packaging... Ice-cream princess' head shot three times but missing the cardboard...






warm welcome with lots of Grace
free at last!
befriended
beauties!
She is a great addition indeed:-)

Let's free our curvy girl now!
freedom!

just look at them bellies!

Group session

no particular theme...
except of look at our new MyScene clothes and set of new shoes!

Spring fashions on some level;-) possibly.

Few of my favs from workroom desktop, few comebacks...

 shoes shoes!

free from her accessories and restyled at last!

 possibly one of the best dolls ever, and one of the first ones...





 ...and  a little bit of ethnic stereotypes, but at least my hubby carried this mask attached to his backpack all the way from West Africa..


AND...thats not end at all since Christie got her new clothes too... 
/and i love her fresh-from-the-box hair!/

hello, me again!

 country living or something...
 simplicity... and  a lot of colour...
(this is actually genuine Polish folk woollen weave from Lowicz region)

 damn! I dropped it, wait!
 and now smoothly overlapping with Lara's moments...

 from dolls to friends...

 possibly even a selfie!

and solo...

 skirt fabric basically stolen from wooden - croatian - lavender - souvenir - doll;_)





 very happy with how un-princessy she turned out...

Mbili and Matilda

...and now for something completely different...
some of my doll dressmaking experiments - experiments not because they are innovative but because I have no time to think about them - I just make them designing as doll and fabric tells me;-) - ou can call it spontanious and creative LOL but its just a mess and kids knocking to the door;-)

here is Mbili (Princess of South Africa 2002) wearing embroidered top and raw silk skirt:

definitely one of the best faces in my (not-so-published) 'collection'!

Here she is wearing a gift for 5yo 
- a hand-made stripped dress with tulle skirt and sequined application:

so even if non-blondes and Queens of Color are your thing it's still all about sequins and tulle:-P

more details:
and yes, Peacock is my fav color range so brace yourselves:-°
