Adventures in rebodying - dolls 68 & 69

it this episode you will read about how I've turned in to a cold-blooded headhunter...i mean body hunter with several heads...

Case 1 is a seriously fair skinned, 2000s strawberry blonde /slightly ginger-as-an-excuse , and possibly ex-princes...None of my bodies matched and hollywood nails of Polish Barbie were obviously much more precious that this random head... which I pity tho...

One day fortunetelly in my super shabby local charity I stumbled uppon one hobbit bodied teresa-faced Barbie...not pretty not ugly - just not my style...

I always admire how coloration and makeup change a personality of a mold...

Thanks to her hairstyle and very blue eye-shadow I managed to 'rebrand' her as 70's Disco era styled Barbie head -(can't seem to find my 'promo' pics somehow).  Happily sold on ebay to someone ooaking hard:-) Guilt on purchasing the head and body for spares - anulated ;-P

Acne cream made wonders. The body was a hobbit type - just a lovely petite ginger friend of Barbie;-P

The second successful rebodying was Christie's from the same batch of heads.

With the green eyes and a streak of brown hair, fringe and medium length i first falsly identified her as a WNBA basketball player doll...

 pretty close but seriously...no earrings but hey - 

still the most reconisable Mattel lines - Pearl Beach Christie going roro...

After putting her hopeless hair on pipe cleaners  I've made final decisions about the body...

 I went for Disneys Tiana despite of her limbs being slightly greenish - 

her torso is a great match and hands have nice articulation:

tadaaaa

one happy beach doll almost 20 years later;-)

 here she is trying to work out her new afro;)

she is kind of petite on this slightly more lean body:-)

and she photographs sooooo well!

articulation changes everything...

tbc.

Teresa 2 revisited

this is a continuation of previous post about 'Teresa'/?/ with purple steaks.

Today Cic Teresa 2006 is getting restyled.

 here she is in close-up with two different filters.

She is wearing heather jacket made of sheet felt which was sort of eureca moment (bacause no hemline!) with a sequin brooch characteristic for this line (see previous T.)

 She looks lovely and young.

Good to have one doll from this era in your 'collection'

(oh this is her super dumb angle)

Underneth she wears pea green/bluish dress worn before by Swedish Barbie.

...and costume change for a fancy sock cape;-)

thank you!

Teresa revisited

They are so familiar now I can't remember what took me so long to like her.

Still have't wrapped my mind around the ever-changing Teresa mold in mid 2000s but anyway.

Just look what difference color makes. How it changes dolls character, makes her yours and exchances her inner beauty!

Here how she look in more tasteful and earthy- and peacock-colored stylisation:

 Sequin flower hair accessory, very vintage floral green fabric dress with emerald tulle neckline and golden-chocolate coat (yes, it used to be a sock....), shoes from some other e-bay doll.

love this seqined mosaic!

 and sneak prev of next entry:

This picture is titled "Show me your bad angle":-)

My Dolls, No 23

Similar story.
Nice straight, dark hair. Fair skin, identified mold, very nice minimal antural make-up yet such a uniteligent look on her face  ;-)
My first doll on belly button and ass-cheeks body... aparently known as a 'Hobbit body' as it is disproportional in relation to bigger head - fashion doll wise i mean...

Thought it might be some balerina or Highschool Musikal whoever... wait Vanessa udgens apparently...

High head, toothy smile, not very bright look on her face, but not reallt convincing...

She took me to the bottoms of the Internetz and back only, to my disbelieve,  be yet another incarnation of Teresa doll...  how annoying!!!

Kattis Dolls blog is my identification encyclopedia aka bible - no reason not to believe her on this one...

This is one of Teresa faces

Internet gave me more 'iconographic prooves', I believe in oryginal outfit - red despite teh neutral make-up:

Chic Teresa 2006 OR 2007

She needs some good outfit from me in order to be liked;-)

 

there you go...
