Fashion Trends!

So, it is snowing and I'm staying in. I thought I would start my photo catalog of my dolls today. You really don't know what you have until you start to do something like that. Anyway, while taking photos I saw something.

Have you ever notice that the fashion world will do a new spin on an old fashion trend? The sixties, seventies or eighties fashion will be trotted out and given a "new spin!" Sometimes it is good and sometimes it is not. Our fashion model for today is Stephanie Laurent(Nikki). She is a retro girl who loves sixties "Hippie and Flower Child" fashions. In her mind there is a difference between this type of fashion and "Mod Fashion". She will on occasion combine Hippie/Flower Child fashions with newer fashion accessories.


Here she is looking fantastic wearing her vintage sixties dress with hip boot she found. It is a talking PG dress from 1969.




















Vintage pieces don't always stand the test of time or the stress of time but this dress does. If you are unable to find a vintage dress consider this modern alternative.




















Here is Stephanie in the Barbie Fashion Fever Fashionista Artsy dress. Notice the similar cut and color palette of the dress. It goes perfectly will with her boots. This dress give our Stephanie modern alternative and increases her wardrobe. Here are the dresses side-by-side.
Stephanie is a talented shopper! That is it for my snow day report!

Repaint

Hey Gang!

When I first saw the Rocawear Chandra I loved the outfit. I thought her face and  complexion were great but I didn't like the eyes. I hate the side glancing eyes.  I think they make the doll look sneaky or like she thinks that there is someone  behind her. Those eye have put me off from purchasing many dolls. After several  years of trying to slightly alter eyes on dolls, I decided to repaint the eyes on this doll.  I wanted her to look ahead. This is one of my first real repaint of eyes. So please be  kind! I thought that black eye were better with her complexion too. I am not very  good a photographing the darker complexion dolls. I am not sure if it is the light  I need to work on or the backroung or maybe it is both! I have seen others do a  better job than me. I have had trouble with Princess of South Africa and Model  of the Moment Nichelle too! Truthfully, I wasn't good at taken pictures before  the digital camera. I have gotten better with the digital camera but I am still  working on my photos.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

The Ultra Corps!

Hey Gang!

I purchased these two action figures when they first came out. As you can see, I
have left one in the box and the other I have de-boxed for play. Although the face
molds are the same they are two different dolls.

One is Flashfire- Jungle Beret and the other is Junkyard-Mountain Recon.

Junkyard-Mountain Recon.

In the box

 Flashfire- Jungle Beret 

Back of box

Why I keep one in the box? I do not know. I can't remember what I was thinking
at the time but he is still in the box. Their complexions are different and the face
paint is slightly different. Ultra corps did a full line of action figures when the first
came out. They still to action figures now but not as many and they are hard to find.
They haven't done a new African American doll since this line. They are about the
height of Ken but a little taller than GI Joe. The body is more bulky than GI Joe.
The feet are different, They are wider the Ken with out the length of GI Joe. They
can't wear all of the Ken shoe but they can wear all GI Joe boots. The hands are bigger
than both Ken and GI Joe. They are not able to wear shirts that don't have sleeves that
snap closed and the sleeve is a tighter fit because their arms are bigger too.
Their facial expressions are very serious.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Paper Ally Re-Ment Pieces!

My new pieces from Paper Ally have arrived! All I can say is WOW! smidge girl from Smidge House turned me on to this site!-- Thanks smidge girl!---It was a great find. Paper Ally is a great seller. In my mind there are a few things that set a seller apart from a great seller. First is the items. Paper Ally has great items! Next is the shipping. Shipping includes the shipping cost, how fast it comes and the way in which it is shipped. Paper Ally fall into the great seller on all of these area! Then there is the cost of the item. The Paper Ally cost was great on the items that were being sold. Finally, is the quality of the item especially compared to the picture shown. Paper Ally items were quality! If anything the picture didn't do them justice! This was one of those purchase that I was very pleased with!
