My first mini Lalaloopsy! I'll probably never debox her. She just looks so cute in her display box. XD
I'm noticing that some of the minis are very well painted, and some them look like they were painted by a chimp. I remember that Marina Anchors always looks sloppy, but Peppy Pom Poms is usually pristine. How odd...
I think that this girl looks pretty nice!
I was truly surprised to see her out in stores already. I hope they make more big versions of the Fairy Tale dolls!
This is the first time I've taken a picture of Suzette la Sweet out of doors. I can't seem to find a suitable environment for her.
Then again, Marie Antoinette liked to pretend she was a shepherdess...
It's Blossom Flowerpot, and ain't she cute? I love the dark skin and pink hair combination. She reminds me of Momo Girl Licca.
You can't see them in the picture, but she's wearing really cute orange Mary Janes.
These dolls are like a disease!
This is what I always wanted to do with one of the Silly Hair Lalaloopsies. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Japanese horror manga Uzumaki (English translation: Spiral), it's about a lot of weird and gory happenings involving spirals. In one particular chapter, the heroine's hair acquires a life of its own and grows out into these monstrous curls that attack people. Eventually, she and her rival (who also acquires the Uzumaki hair) have a showdown on school grounds and use their hair to beat each other up. Of course, the hair really has a mind of its own...
I think that if Silly Hair Crumbs Sugar Cookie were to get in a fight with her hair, she would probably be the nice girl. Jewel Sparkles seems to be more of the ruthless type. XD
...is that you can find a doll that was being scalped last week on Amazon for $100 on sale this week on QVC for below retail.
Thankfully, I got the doll from QVC. XD
I'm not sure what attracted me to Peanut Big Top, because she's loud and bright and clashes all over. Maybe as a child of the 80's I look at her and am reminded of Cyndi Lauper?
Or maybe one of those Macross idol singers...
Peanut was my reward to myself for putting up with last week's disaster.
Meet Sahara Mirage!
I haven't fixed the boo boo on her eye yet, but it doesn't seem to show in photos. Isn't she cute? I love the dark skin/jewel toned hair and outfit combination. I'm a little disappointed that the "jewels" in her tiara are molded plastic and not rhinestones or something equally sparkly. I like my sparkly things, I do. XD
I think I'm so attracted to these dolls because they remind me of characters from the video game series Mother (Mother 2 being Earthbound for the SNES).
I think it's been close to six months since I bought a doll. Not bad, huh? But Oct. 14th was my birthday, and I was feeling deprived. I ordered this cutie on the 15th. I had heard some horror stories about factory flaws after my order was confirmed, but I figured I shouldn't count on receiving a damaged doll.
Sure enough, she arrived with a big scuff on her right eye. Thankfully, I had a bottle of Liquitex paint in Ivory Black, and I wasn't afraid to use it! Fixing a bad factory paint job on a big headed doll like Suzette is much easier than painting the eyes on a 1/6 scale doll head! I'm just glad she didn't have any marks on her face. I wouldn't feel safe using acetone to remove them.
Other than the dinged eye paint, she's in fine shape. I love her opalescent hair! Her full name is Suzette la Sweet, which reminds me of a not-so-great Billy Wilder movie called Irma la Douce that featured Shirley MacLaine as a French prostitute. XD
