Last night I brought away a bunch of dolls to Charie's. My sun-kissed Layla is going to get her red nose and black lips removed, and then redone with a softer look. Maybe then I'll finally bond with her. I wish Kaye Wiggs dolls could be ordered blank, because it's very disappointing to get the dolls with factory faceups that don't much resemble their promo pictures. All my larger KW dolls have been redone, except Hope, who was lovely right from the start.
My Asa is getting her new high-heel feet painted to match her body. I ordered them with Bonnie and Owen, since older JIDs like my Asa didn't come with high-heel feet, and I figured her costume needed high-heel shoes, and I didn't want to permanently borrow some from someone else.
Charie will also try do my Bonnie so she can be picked up before she leaves for St. Louis. I just asked for something nice, with light freckles, as she'll likely be a redhead.
Owen is going to have to wait until Charie comes back, as he's going to need more time to really do well. For inspiration I've chosen some photos of Thor from the new movie. He's gorgeous with his light brown facial hair and long dark blonde locks.
