Holiday Boy (my doll No 193)

Today a new doll - a gorgeous mixed-race boy with a sun-kissed afro.

I love his face, body not so much...but I hear with some neck manipulation he is a good match for make-up ken MtM body...well one day...as for now as he arrived in mail - only slightly refreshed HighSchool Musical 2 Chad doll.

Not my thing but he could definitely be my crush <3

Oh, I just remembered I had Taylor as well - great face, never got to change her body...

So here he is - emerging star!

friends t-shirt and vintage pants...

he was a very brave boy...

..and took part in #travel photo shoot for #monday$dolls instachallenge 

with @bellabelladolls immediately after...

flatlay as per usual:

...couldn't decide - only to change the concept completely

...after all that we just grabbed a backpack and went hiking in our 

Surrey Hills (Area of Outstanding Beauty)

...so yeah..a bit stiff but fine looking young man...

My dolls - No 184

Next doll is a dear cousin of the previously presented doll - less than 2 years old, nearly freshly from shop shelves and instagram posts about new waves of inclusive and realistic Fashionistas:-)

I knew immediately i want her when first pictures were published. I quite often don't keep that promise as some designs' charm simply wears with too much on-line hype in the community...
This one however is a new and a very good mold so I got her for myself last Christmas:-)

She is known as 'Daya'  and i have just released that this actually is the same mold (and definitely not AA Gigi Hadid as i suspected, but hey;-)

tadaam Fashionista #80 Cheerful check:

not a big fan of petite bodies - quick operation that is, and tadaaa

my adorable redressed doll No 184!

and lots of pictures with no story and not in particular order;-)

so photogenic! <3

My dolls (182 & 83)

It has been my first Christmas as a single Mum and luckily I have been able to spend it with my children. All went just fine and i am quite chuffed for being efficient slash good enough Santa, cook, mum and a child at the same time;-)

In great tradition of Christmas doll selfie-gifts I got myself from ebay two lost souls - beautiful heads looking for new loving home.
Both of them displaying some of my fav characteristics as well as contemporary fashionista sort of  must have.

First on of them is my first ever doll with a cute Neysa / Bambi (new Teresa) 2015 face sculpt - can't believe it took me so long.
Except of yoga mtm and christmas dolls she came in plenty of wonky bambi eyed indeed playline dolls I could not handle... my Barbie Fashionistas No 40 Pizza pizzaz (nr 182!) is a lovely fair brunette...

The second head satisfies my appetite for other mattels novelty - dolls with natural afro!
and clearly remember how many waves made the first in this stylistic.

Fashionista No 59 Tropi cute (nr 183)

Here they are on ebay pics and on arrival:-)

Took me a while to find a 'spare' AA body and the super fair that don't belong to collectible superstars are very few in my household;-)

 Playing with filters for a while, before saying goodbye to the clown lips...

here are few sneaky shapshots from a bigger session last spring...

I really like how she photographs!

Application of this lipstick is questionable but flaws ar barely visible irl to be honest LOL

so much pottential in this girl <3
