November And Native Americans!

Hey Gang!

In keeping of the year of the children, I wanted to show you some new addition to
my play scene.  I purchased these dolls as a set off of Esty!  They are Dancing Brook
from Kids Kore.



I purchase the two dolls because they were cheaper than I saw one doll selling
for. They came with these really great outfits too.  But I have other plans for them.
After I paid for them I realized....you got it...that one could be a boy.  The boy that
Kids Kore does is way smaller so it make sense to make one a boy.

They are a little smaller that the old Stacie doll. They have wire in their legs to
make them bend and hold in place.  Their hair isn't as nice as Mattel doll and it was
a Hot Mess too.  Lots of conditioner for these two!
So here is Dancing Brook and Two Feather!
 
 Yes, they are twins!
The clothes are a mixture of Bratz, Mattel  and off brand doll clothes.

I have restyled my Bison (Kocoum) doll also!

I worked on his Mohawk some! He keeps his hair pulled back except for the
one braid. and he got some jewelry.  I make that for him!  He loves it.

 He really liked this Liv doll shirt and Ken Black jeans.
 I re-bodied my doll onto a tall AA body.  He is now tall that many of the men
around here.
 I do miss the tattoos on the body I might have to try my hand at that too!
 His height make him a bit imposing!
Rae got her ceremonial dress!
 She is a jewelry designer so she will add some jewelry to hers!
 Her husband love it on her too!

 

OK, Thanks For Looking!

The Addition Of Hispanic Kids! Update!!!!

Hey Gang!



In keeping of the year of the children, and yes the year is almost over, I want to introduce some new Hispanic kids!

First up is Cal Jr.!

Cal is one of my OOAK Only Heart Club (OHC ) boy makeovers!  


His name is Calderon but everyone calls him Cal Jr.  


It will be arriving in town shortly with his little sister Rita!

Rita: Hi! I’m a princess!
Cal Jr.: Si mi hermana, eres una princesa!

I got this OHC doll that I’m calling Rita inside a bag of mostly craft supplies I found at a thrift store.  I didn’t notice her until I opened the bag.  I had planned on selling her but Cal needed a sister.

 

Update!

Next up is Raul Santos!

I forgot to mention that Raul is an OOAK Moxie Girlz Mini doll.  He is Cameo done to look like a boy on a Mattel Stacie body.  I wanted a straight arm body for him but all I had was this one.  I have been wanted to do him for a long time but I haven't seen the Cameo doll locally.
Before!
After! 

I removed his lip color and some of his eye paint.


I had thought about making his name Antonio because his eyes reminded me of the cat in Puss In Boots 

but I went with Tiago ....Tiago Raul.  His is a second cousin to Lola  and a third
cousin of Aya and Annyah.  

He coming to live with them after his mother goes missing while his father is in jail!  He needs the benefit of a warm and loving family like the Maces.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Avery Wants To Be.....An Entrepreneur!

Hey Gang,

I'm continuing the year of the children with Avery! You met
him as one of my only heart doll maker-overs.

Avery wants to be a high powered businessman when he grows up.

Avery: My idols are Daymond John, I always watch Shark Tank,...

And Russell Simmons!
I want to work for myself!


He is starting young, right now as a matter of fact. He my not be old enough for
a real job but he could make doing errands and other things. He deliver groceries from the market!
Oh, here is the house! I'll knock.
 Oh, I see the doorbell!
 Purchaser:  Who is it?

Hi, It's Avery.   I'm the delivery person from the market! I have your groceries.

He can stuff circulars in mailboxes!
I have menus for the local pizza shop.  I will put one in every mailbox too.

 He can walk dogs and pet sit. Here he is walking Near Wolf in the park.
Avery:  Here we are Near Wolf.  There is water over there!  The dog thinks he
sees something in the bushes.

Your such a good dog!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

My Tom

Hey Gang,

I am continuing my year of the Children with this post!
One of my favorite dolls that I haven't posted about is Takara Jenny's
boyfriend Tom doll. I have had him awhile(at least 10 years) but why
I haven't posted him, I don't know! I guess it is because I have seen
other peoples post of him and I either thought I did or didn't feel the
need to until now.


He was one of the first dolls I saw with dreadlocks! He came out in 1992.
I purchased him back in the late 2000 and I think he was about 45 dollar when
I got him on eBay.  I got all my had to find dolls on eBay back then.  I didn't
know any better! He came from abroad and it took a while for him to arrive.
I was pleased because he looked just like the pictures.

Tom in the box!

Back of the box shows him in a confrontation!

This face looks too sweet for that!

The clothes seem so over sized for a doll with such a small body.  I had to find
him something different. My IT males are wearing his pants. I've put the jacket on
one too.

one earing


I love this hoodie on any male...no change that...any doll.

Victor with Tom pants on.
I am always asked how big a doll or action figure is compared with Barbie
or Ken.  I have included ken for scale.
Answer to the Ken and JLS question.
I have seen a few pictures of Tom with his hair wild.  It does give him
a different look! You can see his slight body.
His chest and his arms are different material and different colors.
I just love the wind in my hair!
He has thin legs and small feet.
Closeup
Tom feet vs Ken feet!
He doesn't have click knees but they are pose able.
So is his arm some what.
One thing that Kev mention about some male dolls and action figures is if
they have long necks they photo better than ones with shorter necks like JLS
 His name is Khaleel.
He is kind of an old soul and gravitates toward thinks someone his age normally doesn't.
He loves to DJ. It is the way he expresses himself artistically. 
Khaleel on the wheels of steel.
He makes good money at it too!  He stumbled over his fathers music collecting
when he was eight.  That created his love for the oldies.  He like Smokey Robinson,
Marvin Gay, Sam Cooke and The Temptations.  He has the complete collection of
Nat King Cole.
He does like modern artist like John Legend, Alicia Keys, Jaheim, and Jill Scott.
Also rap and hip hop.
He can DJ any kind of party!
I just love my lights from the Dollar Store.
 My favorite shot!
I had fun photographing him and using somethings I have been meaning to photo!
Any request?
I'll wear a suit at weddings and formal affairs.
I'll introduce his family later.

OK! Thanks For Looking!
