Nichelle?

I realized that my collecting preference has changed. I am now trying to get JUST a sample of each headmold from the Barbie line. I prefer those with not so big eyes and black hair, if possible. In case, I find a better (this is subjective) version, I'll dispose the older one. My fave head molds (Lea/Kayla, Oriental, Mbili, Goddess etc) are of course exempted from that rule.

Now, I can finally say that my fixation on getting a doll with a Nichelle head mold has ended. I'm happy with my doll. The thing is, I don't know her. Can anybody identify her for me? I'm not sure if she was redressed but her earrings match her dress. I did pour boiling water on her hair to flatten it. I think a kid used to tie it in a ponytail so she was a mess when I got it.

Any info about this doll will be appreciated. :)

Return to Innocence

Age indeterminate, they can look like kids and they can look like young adults, definitely not a one-trick pony. That is just one of the things I like about my CCE Blythe clone. Rebodying them in highly sexual-ized Barbie or Obitsu bodies is not an option for me. The Licca body is just fine with enough curves which one can flaunt or down play. I also didn't seal their face paint so I can change them when I feel like it.

There are times when I get fed up with too much play on sexuality from dolls. (It makes me think, are they the new sex toys? Maybe. I personally use them to act out my sex fantasies. Lol.) My other dolls can serve as a breather. After making dresses for model muse bodies I felt I have to do something childlike.

I decided to create dresses for Potpot and Chichi. I think they love it.

Twigs and Blooms

I realized that I don't have that much non-pink printed dresses. The ones I made last January for the Runway doll meet were sold to friends. So I took some time to make a couple JUST for myself.

I wanted refreshing colors of blue and green. I don't hate pink but I felt it can be done in moderation. I wanted the dresses to look simple and open to mix-and-match possibilities. Add a jacket or shrug, a new skirt or a pair of leggings and these dresses will look differently.

I call the floral dress as "Blooms" and the other one as "Twigs". Blooms has a neckline designed to show some cleavage. Twigs is actually inspired by Mod fashion, something Twiggy would wear, minus the loose fit. Here they are on Lea and Midge with some simple styling with the help of the Barbie basics fashion pack.
