Home Girl vs Home Girl! Update...I Purchased Bantu Knot BMR!

Hey Gang!

I first want to share with you one of my favorite musician and favorite videos that
help in the inspiration of this post!  LL Cool J's Around The Way Girl!

When I first saw Zig Zag Barbie, I thought she looks like a "Home Girl"!
Or as LL Cool J would call her, an Around The Way Girl. Meaning she looks
like a young lady who would live in my neighborhood.
It was more than the outfit and more than the hair. It was the attitude of the doll!

 I found that many others saw her the same way and redressed her that way too.
My Doll Shaniquah restyled!

So when I saw the new BRM Barbie doll Bantu Knot doll , I thought now she
is really styled like a Home Girl!

I have heard that she is a petite articulated doll! I can't wait to see the body!


 Home Girl vs Home Girl!
 

Update! I purchased Bantu Knot... for her body.  I needed a dark petite body.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

More Of My Purchases!

 Hey Gang!

So I did get some new Fashionista over the past few months!  So let me share
some of them with you!

First up is Color Block Ken!

I first showed  you him and Hip Hoodie when I first saw their pictures on Instagram.
Picture Courtesy of Mattel
I was a fan of this doll when I saw it online but when I saw him in person, I had 
misgivings! I knew the complexion didn't match anything Mattel has put out for an 
articulated body. (I had a hard time with the Twilight Jacob doll and finding a body 
for him.  I am still playing around with him.  I really didn't want that.)   I purchased 
him the second time I saw him and hoped for the best.

I love his shirt!  I wouldn't have put it on him with those pants but the top is a 
keeper. It does look like something for an older man to me.  So some my mature 
men will be sporting this.  The pants aren't what I would put on a male and they 
are too narrow for a curvy doll and that was a bummer.

So I was playing around with the body and found that the body worked on JB head!

So what about vise versa?
So that what I did!

 The body does make him look younger!
 So for the real question...is he Asian or Arabian ?
 I have heard both theories.
 He doesn't have a name yet!


Next up Hip Hoodie!

I told you when I purchased him I already had a Texas AA body for him. I also
had some family for him too.



So here is Dexter and kinda Afro hipster

Here he is with his mother.
Mother: Have you completed everything you need to do?
Dexter: Sigh! Yes Mom!
 Dexter to himself...I can't wait until I'm in a dorm room!
 Mother to herself....Once his is in college, I can work on me!

Lastly is Zig Zag Fashionista Curvy Barbie

I actually thought that she would be the same complexion as Emoji Fun but she
is lighter. She is Cara complexion.
 This isn't actually here body! This promo photo.  Here are are actually straight.

I used the body for this doll.  I had the head waiting for a body. I have had a ton of
Kara heads because the bodies were used as donors.
I kept two this one I have always liked!
It was just finding a body that wasn't a donor for her!

Her head is now on a Disney Tiana body. And this is Shaniquah!  She is my
hood girl!

I need a homegirl around here and she fits the bill.

Shaniquah: That's right I am a ride or die chic!
And don't talk no smack about my fashion or my man or you will be missin' some teeth!


OK, Thanks for Looking!
