More restyled roro-dolls

In great tradition of dressing beach dolls in winter clothes,
today i'll have two glamour girls wearing post-grunge shabby chic;-)

Who are they?

The first one is Princessy AA Rapunzel doll... with the longest and most unpractical hair ever!

I keep them braided to avoid tragedy ....

here she is trying  to make use of them at all;-)

hahaha, poor girl..

maybe like that...

oh dear.. you see - she barely can 'walk'...

but we will forgive that all for her amaaaazing face:-)

  oh <3

 her photo-shoot friend will be American Idol Simone with some make-up retouch and new earrings...

one of the best lipsticks ever

I'm glad i dug her out again at last

ok ok, this is a super mini session... after all

three close-ups

two shots n nature (incl. potato jungle LOL)

and off pic about The Hair...

Charity shop find 5

Althou the doll is long gone I wan't to 'pay respect' so to speak...
I can't remeber anymore where I have been heading but I was alone (unusual) and I took other way than usually. Thanks to that finally had a chance to explore only seen from a far - Samaritanians charity shop. It was small but very bright and tidy - boutique more than a smelly second hand...
First glance to the left and there she is:

 Rapunzel Barbie 1997

Read enough blogs to know I have to save her from children's hands;-) Not only she had a cherished Mackie mold but also a very characteristic make-up as well as very fancy crown and clean genuine gown, even original gold hair elastics. In short - I wanted to play with her without being obliged to display etc... (I think i lost eBay auction with boxed AA one so it was a sign or sth).

It was a very great pleasure indeed - well attached but removable crown, seriously long hair but not in the best quality imo, removable gown which turned out to be separate...

Washing and brushing her hair was a nightmare - I wanted to refresh them for auction... it must have been physics...they have been tangling before i even finished to stroke on streak, hmm

All in all I am very happy with the final effect and really enjoyed photographing her - very graceful and well made princess...

 very well constructed and fitting dress

+ ring and simple studs

..and just for reference - the AA Rapunzel...

rather 'ethiopian' or even Alicia Keys kind of beauty...
