Alexis At Target On sale!

Finally, I found the Alexis from Target on sale! It wasn’t
the lowest price I’ve seen but Alexis doesn’t stay around
long enough to make the first( $9.79) mark down let
alone the second markdown in my area. I had to drive
a good ways out to find a Target that had her on sale.


Strange, there are two version of this doll. One is a lighter
complexion and the other is darker. Maybe it the beginning
and end of summer look. I don’t know why but I purchase
the darker one in hopes that she was closer in complexion
to the doll that I have. Most of my dolls are a medium
brown or dark brown. They are between Grace and Kara…
strange too. The store had two so I bought them both.
If I did like them, I could sell them but I didn’t want to
kick my self for not buying both later on.


I also got a shoe set with heels. I needed heels
for these Liv bodies. They were marked down to $2.98.


When I got her home, poor Alexis got "The Borg"
treatment. Her body went to….

Wild Bunch Francie.


She is one of my favorite dolls and needed a possible
body for play. I will keep my original Francie bodies.
One never knows. If you are counting, that is two
Francies with Liv bodies. One to go.


The body is slightly lighter but it will work!

Francie and Puddin' in the park!

Francie can now move around and sit like a lady now.
The Liv swimsuit
went to …

Fiona. She needed a more matures looking swimsuit
and this one fit the build. The wig? Well that is up in
the air.


Dominique grabbed the wig for the
Sports Mag Swimsuit Issue shoot.

This shot made the cover!

The head will go on the dollpage soon.

The Heels!
Fi in heals.



She is going to a wedding!

She loves that now she can wear heels. She loves heels and
couldn’t wear them before.


Wonder what Ian will think of these.
OK! That is it for my budget for now!

Malibu Christie!

Malibu Christie!



This was my last doll purchase of 2010. I didn't
break my doll budget for that time because I go her for
under $30.00! I could not believe it! If the economy
wasn't so bad, many doll collectors would not be selling
and more people would be buying and I probably wouldn't
have this doll! Maybe a Black Francie will come up in my
price range but I doubt it! This is one of those dolls that
pictures do not do justice! I am lover of Julia, but there is
something different and special about this doll!
She has more of an intense look that Julia. Could it be the
absence of eyelashes? They do give Julia a flirty look!


She is much darker that I remember Mattel ever doing for a doll
back them! I can imagine that this doll might have caused
some controversy in her day! She is not on the 1966 Japan
TNT body of a Julia but is on the 1966 Korea body.


Note the difference of the waist. Julia is a "V" and this
one is straight across. The bust on the Malibu body is
bigger too.


Her hands are different. Korean hand are smaller and fingers
are close together than the Japan Julia hands.

Princess of South Africa and Malibu Christie nude.

She is closer in complexion to Princess of South
Africa (POSA)! Note the difference in
body size. POSA is on the 1991 Body which
has a smaller bust and hips. This is not a mint doll.
There are some small pin holes in the feet. You can't see
them in pictures because of her complexion but you can
see them in person. Her hair needs some work too.


I have her hair pulled back but is a little puffy.
The has been a change in the complexion of her torso.
It has a gray cast to it and is no the same complexion as
her legs and head. In looking at other Malibu Christies I
have found this common for this doll.

Comparison of Repro, Malibu and original Julia heads
She is still my favorite head of all!

The WOAA Halloween Party- Part One- Even Big Sister Need A Little Help!

Even Big Sister Need A Little Help!


Everyone in town is excited about the WOAAA Halloween
party. Renee calls her sister to see if she is going. Renee
thinks her sister works to hard and doesn't make time for
love in her life. Dominique answers the phone
a little flustered!



Dominique: Hello!


Renee: Well hello to you too! Are you in town?
Hold on while I switch to my earphone.



I need to finish this article as we talk. I’m back.


Dominique: I’ve just got back. It was a ruff trip!


Renee: Are you going to the Halloween party? Everyone
who is anyone is going to be there! I think Raphael
will be there!

Dominique: I was just thinking about it. I could make some
great contacts but I don’t have a costume.



Renee: I’m going to Harry’s Halloween shop to get one.
Why don’t you meet me there and we can pick
something out for you. Something eye catching!


Dominique: Ooh OK, how about an hour from now.


Renee: Sounds like a plant.
