Today raport on my tesco 2 for 1 bargein -
deboxing and comprison of my AA fashionistas new and old...
very un-systemathical study...
well and some fashion play aka summer dressed display
Three Graces
united by differences <3
except of best lipstick, hair and icecream dress she delivers...
btw I havenotices some differences in foot and palm molds...
and now for something completely different...
in general I'm not the biggest fan o the nylon overlocked fashions but I must admit the colourful patterns look very good together - ready to swap?
she must be my favourite - so gentle and fierce (jocker needs downplaying her makeup asap)
So terribly overdue that I can pretend i timed it carefully to post this season...
My last years Chistmas Extravaganza session was triggered by kind apppeariance of
2016 AA Holiday Barbie (doll No 166) in TKMaxx chain
- so blaise, so beautiful... that i couldn't trust Santa and wait so I gave her to myself before christams and away from nlaws view;-)
I then have used her formal gown as an one more pretext to play with dolls and properly doll them up this festive season!!!
A little bit of chaos, everyone wants close-ups...
Grace went for more edgy and contemporary but no less sparkly look!
some good old and classy Asha and Teresa <3
..and some freosty festive fun at last...
with the long awaited official group photo
back stage - glory gory allelujjah - the arrival of collectiable NITB holiday doll, haha
Last February, during half term I had pleasure to be completely alone at home, for few days between my floristry class and my flight on Tuesday...
I was waking up without a clock (still before 8), staying late at night, crafting, reading, sewing all days... I started my first diorama, opened my dolly birthday gifts left by hubby under his sweater and I finally had an opportunity to have closer look at my collection and to do what many of you doll bloggers do - a group session.
I decided to show only dolls I have washed and redressed, photoshooted and described on this blog by February 2017 so it is a little bit off chronology wise as usually...
It took more space and time than I expected but oh dear, that was fun!
a disgraceful pile in ikea storage box (I store the vertically so that I can see the head and grab one I need - like a book from a shelf;-)* ...and please please ignore the hideous carpet and ridiculous wall colour - we are renting this house (and should have invested 3 years ago...)
there we go!
Here they are as a crowd or a waterfall...
as you cannot see much anyway - here they are in sections...
from the bottom : Superstars, redheads and Leas...
later Teresas and Christies...
Asha group and other ethnic dolls...
top rows is category 'Others'... 16" Madame Alexander's, Heart Family, Sunshine Family, Monsters and Livs - they are not accounted in my collection for some reason and its a big big lie....
Then I had this bright idea to 'videotape' them all...shaky and slowly:-)
...just added background music for the first time ever and embedded video on blogger phhefff!
they are short so enjoy 2 encores of my debut <3
its called 'Ugly Carpet and February Light'
I guess it's 78 dolls (and two tiny babies)
not bad at all but I have yet another stock-track from August 2017...there will be more <3
and they will be much better documented and presented. Stay tuned...
