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!

Video Of the Month!

Hey Gang!

Here is my video for this month!  It is by Sallyheartsjack80!  
He is a real character!
It is a review of Fashionista #45 Boho Fringe Tall!



So here is my Boho Fringe and my review of her and Fab Fringe tall dolls.
First Boho in the dress!

Since I posted the video and others have reviewed also, this will be quick but I will
note somethings that other have not.
Now the back.

She does have a great version of the Desiree head-sculpt. Mine has a little
mole by the eye.  I don't know if other dolls do also.  Those of you with this
doll, please let me know. She is also a different complexion than Mattel normally
does. She is not the older AA/Christie complexion, nor is she the complexion
of the SIS dolls either. She has a different undertone than most of the
Mattel dolls.  More like an IT complexion.

Outfit #2!  This is the outfit that really sold me on the doll!
Sallyheartsjack80! is right! This outfit is well made and reminds me
of the Fashion Avenue line! The heft of the material is different than what
we normally see now!

 My Apollonia really wants this outfit! 

 She says it is a little short for her anyway!

 Outfit #3, not much style but great pieces! 

 The pink looks good on her!

I wanted to see if her shoes were like some shoe I have from another fashionista.

They weren't!

Next up- Fab Fringe! 

There was something about this doll I had to have! I have a ton of this head-sculptM
Mbili but I still had to have her!  I just love her hair!

Back in the day, we use to get this look with Kool-Aid!

Outfit is not bad. Like the other,  not much style but great pieces!

Yes the pattern is just on the front.  I was suprised that there wasn't velcro openings on the back of this and the tops from Boho Fringe.

Cute boots!

Yeah, the hair!

I have seen it restyled on blogs and flickr.  So it is not just a one cut look!

Warning Nude Dollies!

Here they are with out their clothes!  Long torso.

 I noticed some issues with the legs and ankle! This little dots!

 They are not on Curvy or Petite!

 Lines on the legs too!

Hopefully you can see it! You see it in person.  I don't know if my non AA dolls
had this issue!  I sold their bodies but didn't notice when I had them.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
