Raquelle New Body!

After I gave Siobhan Raquelle's body I still wanted to use her head.
So I took a tip from Miss_Lola_77 (She is a great new blogger!) at
"I cant quit at any time...musings of a collector and rebodied it!
Here is her second post on the subject. It was her first that got
my attention.

Following her advice I rebodied my doll.

It is import to have a big girl on the scene!
I wanted a younger full figured doll. So this is
Marie! Smart, fun loving and full of life!

She loves: jean, jazz, and jelly beans.

What she hates!:
When people say: you have such a pretty face!


Thanks Miss_Lola_77 and don't be sad now Marta!

My First Head Swap for 2012

My first head swap for 2012...

First let me say that I am so far behind. I lost my charger to
my camera on the 2nd and could find it until today! I was
crazy trying to find it. So with it in a good place now I can
catch up on posts and reading blogs.

My first head swap for 2012 is Siobhan.


Like her sister, Fiona, this is Siobhan’s second body swap
and she is on a Fashionista Raquelle body. You don't want
to know how scary their first body was.

Hey, what about me? Thanks to Miss_Lola_77, I have
a plan for you!

Her sister is glad to see her on an articulated body. I means
that they will have more sister time together.

The first thing she told me is this outfit is really not her.
" This outfit is ghastly!" Fiona didn't like it either.

I quickly found something more to her liking.

This is her favorite suit!

She is happy now! And her sister approves!

Next she informed me that Dominique was not happy with
some my decorating ideas. She suggested it would be better
for Dominique and me if she took over that project.

At first I was a little miffed. But I knew they had been
good friends a long time, Dominique felt she better
understood her taste, she was starting her business in
Johnston and Ms. D was getting on my nerves with all
her demands. It would be best!

Thank you! You saved my sanity!

There is enough business in Johnston for Siobhan and I.

Siobhan said I had some good ideas but that she thought it
was a little too dark for Dominique.


She made some changes that Ms. D seem to really like!

Ms. D is a little more relaxed now. Siobhan had Harold paint
the top part of the wall cream. She replaced the coffee table and
added a lamp, chest, standing vase and topiary. She also found
fireplace tools.

She even worked in that window. She also ordered her this
tea set so she can relax and have a cup of tea.

Ms. D: Do you think I can get another lamp for the mantel?
Siobhan: No, problem. I will need those family pictures so
that I can have them properly framed. I am ordering the
dining room chairs. After that, we will start on the upstairs.

Siobhan replaced the cabinet I order with a custom cabinet
in cream. I am started to dislike have competition!

Siobhan: We have had this much fun since Paris!

Dominique: Paris was soo much fun! Oh, I hear the guys.

Harold: I was starting to get worried about this job until
Siobhan signed on. No offence Ms. Leo but Dominique seems
to really like what she has done.

And she and I really work well together too!

Siobhan is a real pro!
I guess I'm just chopped liver?

Etienne to himself: I'm real glad this is working out! I dodged
another one! This women really knows her stuff
Etienne: Will there be more seating here?

I am ordering custom chairs as we speak. Dee, you are going
to love them! They are soo you!

I'm looking at Harold's blueprints and we are working on it
together.
Harold to himself: Too bad she married!

Ms. D is happy with the whole thing!


This feels right!

Laurent’s Formal Wear Boutique

Laurent’s Formal Wear Boutique
Here are the prints from the ad for Laurent’s Formal Wear
Boutique. It is the formal wear shop inside the department
store.


I will show the photo shoot later. Kiki’s public relation
company said she needed more advertisement for the store.
They were surprised and happy to learn that Kiki could
bring in some heavy hitter for the ad.



Kiki made a call to her good friend Dominique. She was just
rapping up her first movie and was flying home.


Dominique said that she might be able to persuade one of
the stars of the movie, Grayson Stone, to do the commercial
with her. They had become good friends while working on the
film.

Grayson Stone-Actor, Philanthropist, new father.


Kiki new that her father-in-law always look very
distinguished in a tux, so she talked him into doing the
commercial too.


Stephan told Grayson all about St. Malcolm's new additions.
Now Grayson plans to take a vacation with with his
wife and family there soon.


The photos came out just like they wanted them to. Oh, and
by the way, Ms. D is wearing the necklace and the fantastic
pumps from Cat under the dress!


I want to thank edmondlives from thedollpage for these
two tuxes! Please check out his site!

I am getting a few new dolly things in, so I will have to make
space by letting a few dolly things go. I will be posting new
things on my sell and trade tab and on my dollpage site
starting on the 9th. Please give them a look also!

Xia'-From Punk to Parisian !

After seeing Vanessa post of a male sweater and a hat on
Fashion Dolls at Van’s Doll Treasures I tried my hand
at the hat.

I made it a little small. I will probably do it again a bit larger.
The combination of this hat and this top from the dollar store
takes Xia’ in a new direction. She has gone from Xia’
street punk/graffiti artist to Xia’ art student with Parisian style.

Dolls for Christmas!

Hi All,
I just want to share with you two dolls I received for Christmas.
Arctic Barbie and AA Birthday Wishes Barbie! I received them form
my brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. I was very happy!


Here they are together.


The Birthday Wishes Barbie I don't remember seeing. I was
told she came out in 1997? She has a beautiful pink gown. She
has the Asha head mold.


Very sweet face!



Arctic Barbie who came out in 1981 from what I read
online. The box says her people are call the Inuits and live
in Canada and Alaska. I like the fact the that didn't call her
"Eskimo" Barbie. I had learned as a youth that the term
"Eskimo" means "eaters of raw meat". It came about by ask
the people to the south of them what do you call those people
up there. "Oh, we call them the raw meat eaters." It is like asking
neighbors what they call each other. "Oh, they are called never
mows their lawn, or puts the trash out too early, or parks in
other peoples spot. I strongly believe in defining yourself and not
letting others define you. (getting of soap box now)



I had this doll on my wish list. I really want to
debox her. You know I am not really one for keeping
a doll in the box. She really has a nice face. I have two
other Kira face mold doll but they are not as nice as she
is. Maybe I buy another to keep in the box.
