Last week I made two little, red polka-dot, 'Minnie Mouse' dresses, which Cookie and Olivia wanted to wear so they could have a little Minnie Mouse party....
My collection of the large, and medium sized Iplehouse dolls (plus the two Raccoon ladies) in the order I acquired them... Of course JID Asa didn't look like that when I first got her. She was just a 'plain Jane' for several years, before becoming Queen of the night.
I bought the three larger dolls as costume models but decided early on that, as beautiful as they were, they were just too big for me. Kyle was the first JID guy, and the most mature looking they had at that time. He was bought as a companion for my Aeran, so they could go on a cross-country adventure together. Soa was a failed experiment in ordering a KID with a JID head, which didn't work out. So I ordered Peach on a JID body and did the switcheroo so both ended up on the right size bodies. I still have issues with both of them to this day, and they don't appear in photos much. In a few months these dolls will be joined by.... I was updating my doll albums on Facebook today, and thought I should post pictures of all my Iplehouse BIDs and KIDs here as well.....in the order that I got them... Most of them belong to specific families, leaving just a few 'orphans'. I have plans to add some to another FID family, but none of my orphans seemed to work. So I took advantage of the current Sale Event and ordered a KID Fay girl, and BID Judith.....as little sisters to Yvette and Bianca...
both in Normal, with Iple faceups.... The girls decided to have a tea party with some of Missy's teddies... Cinnamon gave one bear a turn on the rocking horse.... Tillie helped her bear with his cup.... While Layla couldn't tear herself away from the bowl of chips.... Talyssa watched as Missy poured the imaginary tea... "Would your Teddy like some tea?" "Yes, please..."
