My AA Internet Articulated Doll From China!

Hey Gang!

So I too purchased one of those dolls from China!  She arrived today!

Promo Photo!

So here is my actual doll when she arrived!

Close-up of her face!

I paid about $1.90 plus shipping!  There were 4 other dolls and she looked to be the
darkest and that is why I order her.  Over all, she is not bad for what I paid for her
I thought she might make a good body donor.

The face is kinda cute and the hair isn't too bad. She looks like and upscale version of
a discount doll. Because of the way the hair is styled with a bang and two curly buns,
they saved money by not fully rooting the head.

Her outfit is what you expect from a discount doll.  The stitching  and the fabric
aren't so good but it is acceptable for the price.

Back of the top and the back of the shorts.

So here she is compared to some of my other dark dolls!  As you can see, she is
lighter.

Her head is larger than Mattel's and is closer to the size of the fresh dolls.

Here she is compared to some of my other dolls.  She is darker than Happy Family
Grandma but lighter than my rebodied Francie on a Tiana body.  What you may not
notice is that she has a grayer tone to her!

Arm comparison!

Warning Nude Dolls Ahead!

Here she is out of her clothes so that you can see the body.  The body isn't too bad
considering what I paid for it She has a pivotal chest and articulated elbows, wrists
and knees. When my husband walked by while I was taking this picture, he
said this is how he likes his women,  wearing a smile and jewelry. 

I wanted to try this body on a few other clone doll heads to see if it would work
for them.  I put this AA Defa Lucy family doll Mom. It is a little lighter than the body.

I tried the body on this Defa Lucy Sisters Doll and it too is a little lighter than the
body.  I could be used for them but not a perfect match.  So I might order two
more.

I tried her on the my dollar store clone 2005 AA Barbie Fashion Fever doll and
this one was a good match! This would free up the SIS Kara body I had her on.

It defiantly a keeper for her.  Now I have to find all my other clone dolls and check.

My last try for today is on my Irma who is a Lovely Patsy doll I purchased from
Family Dollar store.  She is a pretty good match for her too but I will have to
address her head.  It has a bit of a wobble to it.

I ordered another body but it does come with a head so I don't know what 

complexion it will be until it arrives.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Me And The Post Office Will Never Be Friends!

Hey Gang!

So, me and the Post Office will never be friends!  The PO will always do
something crazy to make we want to kill them!


The other day I saw a cute pair of Barbie pants on Facebook and wanted to purchase
them. 

The pants!

The seller had the pants listed for $1 which I thought  was a good price.
The Devil (or the PO, take your pick) is always in the details! So I asked the seller
how much is shipping.  She didn't have anything else I want.  I was just getting
the pants. She said the shipping would be $2.00 and that that was the basic rate
she found for small items.  I asked her could she just put it in a stamped envelope
but she insisted on doing it the "right way" with tracking. She said if she took it to
the PO and I was less, she would refund me the difference. She was heading to the
PO today. I said OK, and sent her the $3.00.  She messages me later that day and
tells me shipping was $3.50 for the pants (3oz) and sends me a copy of the receipt
from the PO and informs me I owe her $1.50.

Now I have shipped two Barbie dolls to Florida for 3.50 and she is mailing it from
Broomall PA to Phila PA, about 40 minutes away!  She has the receipt!  I mention
to her that I thought it was high but I see that is what they charge her so I paid it!
I figured I would wait to see what was on the package when it came.  Low and
behold it says $3.50 for 3oz!

 Six inches wide and four inches high.

So me being me, I check on line and they say it
should have cost $1.42.  I not sure if that was with tracking. I call their 800
number, which is it's own story, and they said
because she used a bubble envelope (the size of a personal letter envelope) that
is was rigid and couldn't be processed as regular mail. Like I said I have mailed
items in padded envelops before (whole outfits and shoes) but I have always
printed out the labels at home and attached them on the package for less than
$3.50.




I used to feel badly when I printed out a label for something that was 13.8 oz for just
13 oz but now I am not going to feel badly anymore!  I just going to give it to a carrier
who has no way to weigh it and call it done! No more Mrs. Nice Guy!


Anyway, here is my Linnit in the pants!

 Linnit: They are cute and nice and screechy!

 Mrs. Leo: Yeah, well they should be for that price!  I could have got you a boyfriend
for that price!

Linnit: I don't really need these pants!

OK, That Is My Rant! Thanks For Looking!

New Dolls, Redbodies And Some Comparisons

Hey Gang!

Here are some new dolls, rebodies and some comparisons.  So I saw this doll on
Vanessa's  blog.  I thought she was soo cute!  Vanessa is right!  I haven't seen a
dark complexion Chelsea. When I saw her in person I saw that the body was
painted.  Bummer!

She was rebodied on a SIS Courtney body.

Her names is Tempestt with two t's so we call her TT!

This is her mom Linnit!
Linnit:  Hi!

She is a Fashionista Barbie!

She is a Fashionista Barbie doll.  I showed you her clothes on Marti.

Marti: Hi.

I had to rebody her because I could  work with the bent arm thing!

 S.I.S. Baby Phat Chandra Rocawear Barbie

I could never understand why they use bent armed bodies.

The original body is a little smaller than the SIS doll body.

She has a great face with two tone hair that can only be seen from the back!

She is much better on this body.

They look great together!

TT:  Mommy I love your hair.

This is Linnit's brother Tyrone!

He spoils TT and she knows it!

Tyrone:  I don't spoil her...do I?
Linnit: Yes you do!

They are close as bother and sister too!

Having an uncle helps because her father is not around!

Family Photo!

Finally is another rebody.  There has been a lot of talk about the new Fashionista

doll with the pale Desiree face but there has been few Desiree dolls with a dark face!

A while back I purchased a Barbie I Can Be A Cheerleader Doll Set because there

was a dark Desiree face. Barbie I Can Be A Cheerleader Doll Set

The dolls are called Nikkie and Grace.  I think Nikkie is the dark one.

She is on a Barbie So In Style S.I.S. Rocawear Kara Doll body!

Head swap!

The only other doll that comes close is this one!  The head isn't blown up like
many of the other balloon head dolls. One of my first post was headsculpts together.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
