I just had to take some photos. I figure my granddaughter doesn't go to my website anyways....
as well as from side to side, and I think they could use a size smaller eyes.
The two MIM dolls arrived earlier this week. MIM (Make it Mine) dolls are low cost, posable, customizable, play dolls - 'BJDs for children" - developed by Paulette Goodreau. They are much like BJDs, except they aren't strung together, but have mechanical or pop-in joints. The dolls are 16" tall, and are a bargain, considering what they all come with; they come dressed in a simple two-piece outfit with flip-flops, have changeable eyes, wig cap, and wig, have extra undies, and come in a comfy zip-up sleeping bag with satin pillow. I ordered Taylor and Jasmine..... My one granddaughter loves her Our Generation dolls and brings them most Saturday mornings so we can take pictures. But we (mostly ME) are constantly frustrated by their lack of posability. So, after discovering the MIM dolls, and that my friend Charie had one, I asked to borrow her so I could show my daughter-in-law and granddaughter. They both loved her! So I ordered two - after all they need a friend. With Christmas and her birthday still several months away, I figured if I get them early enough, I can make some more clothes for them. I just had to take some photos. I figure my granddaughter doesn't go to my website anyways.... The dolls still need their necks adjusted so they can look up and down as well as from side to side, and I think they could use a size smaller eyes. To learn more about MIM dolls, just click on the photo above.

Cute, except the lack of upper eyelashes kinda bothers me. I'd have the glue and eyelashes out in no time to fix that LOL!

I bought the two with slight smiles, and really like the darker girl too. They are ever so shiny, and have no eyelashes. I was spoiled with your doll. I think I need to change their eyes to a size smaller, since their irises almost totally fill their eyehole, and I don't care for that look - it makes them look like aliens.
