Current Mood : Wheee !
Rain began around 1am this morning, luckily, I'd tucked Molly-car into the garage in time. I'll be so glad when we get her stuck window fixed.
Another busy doll-day. With the all-day rain, it was good to stay indoors and play ! There's Nerf bullets all underfoot, but that's OK - there's also tons of doll stuff there, too.
Went through the doll clothes I scored Friday. I already had many pieces - they were part of a four-outfit Fashion Fever set I bought back in April '07. I'm glad my photos get date-stamped. That means I can customize these ! Already removed the lace belt from the denim Capri pants, and I'm gonna take some ribbon off a blouse that's already a bit busy without it and the bow.
I was mostly digging through them to re-dress The Princess and The Frog's Princess Tiana - deboxed her today. Used a gentle fingernail to scrape most of the glittery eye shadow off. No idea why nearly every Mattel doll made these days has huge glitter-flake eye makeup, it's annoying. Powdered glitter is available and it's just as shiny, and less obvious and out of scale. Redressed her in a pretty purple party dress from Friday's lot, and posed her seated. Very lovely doll, with a gorgeous darker skin tone. She has your standard non-twist-waist belly-button body, so she can cross her legs almost naturally. I love her bright smile ! Shame the ‘lily pad' design of her dress is front-only. I hate it when Mattel cheaps out, too.
I was super-careful with her deboxing, and soon had the plastic front removed, and the head cushion cardboard taken out. Took a few photos with Pilot Barbie in Tiana's box shell, and doctored it a bit in PaintShopPro - now it looks like Pilot is standing in front of a cardboard display / photo op for the movie. May have to post that photo later... and if I wanna do a series of images, doctor the box itself, instead of the resultant images.
Rest of the day, we just goofed off. What a nice weekend !
