Sometimes you have to indulge yourself.

Thank Zeus that Takara Jenny dolls aren't nearly as expensive as Pure Neemos! This is Licca-chan Castle Mademoiselle Julia. I pined for her, so I made her mine. I hadn't wanted to buy any more dolls for a long time, but I figured that since I only like about 3% of the 400 plus dolls on the Castle website, I couldn't pass her up. Julia is my favorite Jenny friend, and I've always had a special love for short-haired dolls. Her hair is a little shorter than it appeared on the order page, and her eyes are darker purple with a significant blue tinge. Isn't she cute? I know that not a lot of my readers are Jenny fans, but humor me a little!

Kristen made this dress for an Ex-Cute doll. I think it fits Julia better. ^___^

The nice thing about Takara dolls is that because there are so many different dolls available, you can afford to be picky. Over the past few years, I've been whittling down my collection to the dolls I love the best. So far I've decided that I don't really like 1). Shion 2).Judy 3).Lina 4).Tamaki 5). Mitsuki. 6). Juliana 7). Erica. The Jenny friends I adore and can never get enough of are 1.)Julia 2.)Abel. Dolls I like but have no inclination to get any more of are 1). Marine 2). Naomi 3). Eighteen Jenny 4). New Flora 5). Lie 6) Kisara 7)Timotei. There may be more here....Dolls I like very much but am cautious to buy because they seldom release cute versions are 1). Annie 2). Mille-feuille 3). Sayuri 4). Chihiro. 5). Aya. One doll I wish they would release a Castle version of, for god's sake, is Mirai.

So, as you can see, I only like 3 percent of the dolls I see...XD

Oh, you picked a winner! She's gorgeous!

I've always wanted a short-haired Lina or Rie because my sister's name is Sabrina Rie, and we always call her R/Lina. But I've never quite found one that looked right for her.

Thank you! ^__^ I fell in love with this Julia at first sight. I don't think I've ever seen this hairstyle on a Jenny doll before, and I'm a nut for purple eyes.

There aren't many versions of Lina compared to the other dolls. All the Linas on the Castle website either have weird poofy hair or fantasy color hair. You'd probably have a better chance with Rie! Or you could just get Kisara and pretend it's Rie (the only difference is the eyebrows).

There's a really cute Rie in the Little Factory section, but she has light brown hair in braids and gray eyes. Probably not what you're looking for, right? :D
