Happy Holidays!  I love this time of the year. 

 

 

 

 We're almost there!  Halloween is really going to be different this year but it is truly the beginning of my favorite season - the holiday season! 

 I have to admit that Big Eyes Poppy Parker is one of my absolute favorite dolls.  I got her at my very first Integrity Toys Convention and wow, she was really a pleasant surprise.  She's perfect in nearly every photograph - totally photogenic.  I have joined the W Club for the past 2 years because my doll collection is just too huge at this point.  But I miss Poppy so much.  I really may have to consider rejoining in 2021.  My new collecting focus is Momoko (girls and boys) and Ruruko (mostly girls - I have one boy). More on that later!

I am not one to spend a huge amount of money on one single doll but there are some grail dolls that I have definitely spent more on.  Here are two - Rock Ringmaster and Style Strategy Lukas.  I bought both of them used from Ebay and, admittedly, got them at a better price than I could find them now.  I don't know what it is about Lukas that appeals to me so much.  The sullen facial expression?  I just love him.  Definitely my favorite FR homme.  I need to photograph my boys more.  I absolutely love male dolls but I end up buying clothes and accessories for my girls more than my boys. 
 

Here's a more recent picture.  I've been trying to be as elaborate as possible with my dioramas... it's a work in progress!

 

I have no idea if anyone even reads this...

But I'll post anyway because I'm in self isolation and bored as hell!  I've also REALLY gotten into Momoko and Ruruko dolls so I have lots of new stuff to post!!!

More coming soon... but here's a preview with 2 of my newer dolls. 💖

Mood Changers...

I LOVE the Poppy Parker Mood Changers set.  There.  I said it.  You get the best of 3 worlds... a redhead, a dark -haired beauty, and a gal with purple hair.  Just awesome.  If I have one complaint, it's that the raven-haired gal and the purple-haired gal have that glue gunk in their hair out of the box so I ended up boil washing them both just to be satisfied with their hairdo's.  But utterly perfect in every other way.  Showcased below are Raven and Lilac, both wearing fashions from Clear Lan. 

More pics coming soon!!! I still need to take the redhead out of the box.  :o) (And especially since I also got "Danced All Night" Giselle...) can't WAIT to get her in front of the camera! 

Hippie Dippy

I love Hippie Dippy Poppy.  The clothes she came with? Not so much.  But she redresses beautifully.  Here she is wearing:

Jacket: Clear Lan
Hat: Clear Lan
Shirt: Clear Lan
Skirt: Clear Lan
Purse:  J Doll by Groove

AKA Kimiko Gunn...

When I first got this doll I had a very hard time connecting with her.  But that has absolutely changed over the past few months since I've played around a bit more with her style.  She looks great in hats and luckily I have quite a few of those to use on her. 

Tina Tinaka AKA Kimiko Gunn is wearing:

Shirt: Mattel
Jacket: Clear Lan
Jeans: Clear Lan
Hat: Only Hearts Club
Necklace: Mattel
Purse: Monster High (Mattel)

Let's hear it for the boys!!!

I don't photograph my male dolls nearly enough... and I should.  Remi is incredibly photogenic and just generally a handsome doll.  Here he is modeling some new clothes from Clear Lan. *Sidenote: I REALLY wish Integrity would come out with some new Homme dolls (or DG boys) this year... Wouldn't that be nice? ;o)

Remi is wearing:
Zip hoodie: Clear Lan
Jacket: Clear Lan
Jeans: Hazel Street Dezigns
