I Won The Giveaway!

Hey Gang,

I won a giveaway!  I won the giveaway from Phyllis of A Day In The 

Life Of My Dolls. I won an AA Made To Move Barbie. Woo Hoo! 

I received my Made To Move doll a during the weeks I was preparing

for the Flower Show, so I didn’t get a chance to post her. She also arrived 

before I had seen this doll in my area and that made her more of a treat. 

  

So thank you Phyllis!

I know many of you already have her and have posted pictures of her 

posing in all her different positions, so I would not. What I would like

 to say about her outfit and the outfit of the rest of the dolls in the line is 

that they didn’t go overboard with the pink.

That is nice for a change.  It is also a well made outfit too.  

I think they did a great job on the hair color also.  It is nicely bronzed.

This doll has a little slim figure….a more athletic looking body than other 

Barbie.   She has a smaller bust while having a fuller wait and thinner hips.  

So, I guess yoga fits.  She feels like a dancer!

I like her so much that I added two more to my collection!

Purple top and Blue top!

I have decided that she will now play the part of Lisa Laurent, one of the 

fraternal twins.

I like the calmer makeup of the new Keisha.  The new Keisha is a Asha head-sculpt
while the old Keisha was a Shani head-sculpt. Sadly, the Shani head-sculpt is still
under used.

I think my new Keisha will be a dancer!  She embodies the grace of movement of
her mother and

grandmother. 

I think she will need to dance with her mother!

I think now I will display my Shani dolls in their outfits sometime soon.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

More Laurent Girls!

I'm sharing some more of the tops I received in my trade
with Dollz4Moi. I am introducing a few more characters
too. I love the black and white combo, so I had to show it.
The pink and cream looks great with the Harley leather
pants and the strawberry to just looks sweet with the green
bow on the shoulder.
Maya Laurent


This is Maya Laurent. She is “Una” (pronounced you- na)
or first born in Roubanese. She is named after KiKi’s mother and her
grandmother Maya Falou. She bares a strong resemblance
to KiKi’s side of the family.

Being the oldest, Maya is very serious and was always a
studious child. It is not surprising that she went to law
school and became a lawyer. She works for a center city
law firm but has started her own practice.

At work Maya is kinda quiet, and shy, but very, very smart!
But Maya is not shy around her family. Being the oldest of
such a large family you have to be heard. He siblings even
think of her as wisecracking and a jokester.

Brenda Laurent

This is Brenda Laurent. If you follow my blog, then you met
her at Christmas and...

spending time with her grandmother in St. Malcolm.


She is number two or Tini (pronounced tin-nee) in the
Laurent clan. She and Maya are very close and share each
others secretes. Maya was first to know when Brenda first
kissed a boy! There are always alot of giggles betwen then.

Brenda is outgoing and makes friend easily.
She looks like a Laurent! She looks like Stephan's mother,
her great grandmother, especially when she smiles.
She always loved looking at pictures of her mother
and grandmothers when they were younger. She loves
their styles from that time. She especially loves
their hairstyles through the years and became a
beautician. She too had worked in center city at a hair
salon. She has since opened her own shop,Hairatage,and
she has also just completed a real estate
course. She is nerves about taking the test. Maya
helps her and preps her for the test.

Mariam Laurent

All other children are normally refer to as bini in Roubanese.
She is the four child and is behind Steve in birth order. She
and Steve are close. Right now she is getting extra Dad time!
Out of all the Laurent children she is the only one who has
expressed and interest in medicine. She is preparing to go to
dental school. Her father has her with him as much as possible
to prepare her.


The girls together.

Last Item From The International Black Doll Show In Philly!

KiKi-Bested Dressed!

When new items come into my home, they seem to go to
certain dolls first. In your home, is it your "go to"
dolls or are they the ones that are demanding?

For me, those dolls are Dominque and KiKi. Dominque didn't
get it this time! It went to KiKi. And as Debarge would
sing "She Wears It Well". It is the last dress from my
purchases at the show.


KiKi in her office!

a famous Roubian dancer.

You have to know who you are to wear gold shoes!

Touches from Rouba!

She is a woman with great style!

Joy in her heart!

A love for life and family!
