2024 The Looks AA Ken #25!

 Hey Gang!

I just received my The Looks AA Ken 2024 yesterday! 

Promo Photo
He is my photo!
He wears a neon yellow shirt with periwinkle pants and silver low-top boots.
I was hoping for a new complexion.  I was hoping for something closer to the 80's Steve's complexion. I have a lot of males that have that complexion that needs articulated bodies.
Close-up!
He has a new broad body.
#25 compared to #4!
As you can see, it is an easy head swap!
He also works well with Fashionista #130.
And with Fashionista #153 who was originally on a broad body.
I feel like myself but better!
OK, let's have a little fun and try some non-Mattel heads.

The 2024 Looks AA Ken is not a new head sculpt! It has been used at least three other times.

Underfoot! A Quick Post!

 Hay Gang!

Having kids underfoot can be trying. 

Mom Chrissy: I need to get some work done and I can't do it with you two underfoot!  Go outside and play for a few hours. I tell you when you can come back in.  Don't leave the yard!

Dave: So what are we going to do?
Bob: We'll toss the football around!

Bob: Whoever can toss it through the tire the most wins!  I'll go first!

Dave: OK!

New group: Hey guys! What are you going?
Dave: We are just tossing around the football.

Jackson: We heard that there are team tryouts at the rec center. We are going down to sign up!

Jo Jo: Even me!

Dave: Let's ask Mom if we can go!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

The Return of Rhonda!

 Hey Gang!

My Fashionista BoHo Fringe has been sitting around hoping for blog time! 

Rhonda: Yes, Ms. Leo! What's up with that! And my name is Rhonda.

Well, Rhonda, I said, you did have that hair that has that sticky stuff in it! It took washing with adhesive remover several times to get that stuff out.  
Rhonda: Yeah, maybe but I have this great hair color!

You also have a stiff body but I've got a new articulated body for you! I ordered more 
bodies from China. 

New body and old body.

Rhonda on the new body and Rhonda's old body.

It is similar to the old Fashionista articulated body. Contrary to popular belief, MTM bodies are the be-all and end-all of bodies. The old Fashionista body was more elegant to me. The bodies from China aren't made as well as the Mattel Fashionista body but the Mattel body is getting harder to find. I think stocking up on these cheap bodies might work for me.

Me: Rhonda is a difficult complexion match. She doesn't match the complexion of any other warm tones of Mattel dolls in the line. She has the gray-green undertone of an IT doll or an old Defa Lucy doll.


Rhonda: I'm shorter now! I guess I can deal with that now that I can move. I think it is time for an outfit!

Me: OK, I have this Fresh Dolls outfit!
Rhonda: Yeah, this is kinda nice! I don't need those shoes.  I like these better.
Me: Now that you can move, tell us a little about yourself!

Rhonda:  Well, I am a happily married mother of three girls.  With three young teenage and preteenage girls, it can be a drama zone at home. I will be working in the Radiology Department at the hospital.

Me: Oh, so you will need scrubs! I have just the thing! I got these scrubs too from Fresh Dolls.
I saw a review on the Fresh Dolls fashion packs. One of the things that the reviewer said was that "at the price point Fresh Dolls outfits don't contain shoes like Mattel and or cheap Dollar Tree outfits.
Rhonda: It will be great to get to work!



OK, Thanks For Looking!

Nigel North - Come Live With Me!

 Hey Gang!

I recently purchased Nigel North - Come Live With Me. I thought he might make a good boyfriend for my Street Fusion Jade doll.

As I was posting about him, I thought of one of my favorite artists and one of her songs!

This was the last album that she did with Rufus and it was one of her best if you ask me!

Back to the doll!

He was listed as the 2008 Mission Moscow Takeo Mizutani Figure by Jason Wu. I reached out to a few Intregity Tosys collectors because his photo wasn't coming up under Takeo.  I learned that he was Nigel North and that he shares a head sculpt with Miles Morgan.

He may have been mistaken for Takeo because he is described as Japanese.
Nigel North comes with some really awesome clothes like most of the IT Homme dolls!
I purchased my doll Nude! I wish I could afford to purchase him with the fashions!

Warning! Nude Dolls!
He has the same body as most of the IT male dolls.

So now he just needs some clothes! I have these jeans that I use for all my dolls that are larger than Ken. Here they are on Zhang. Zhang is on Dumbledore'sbroad articulate body.

The pants originally belonged to my WPK Mr. Woo
