The Face I Fell in Love With

12/7/2013

2 Comments

 
I also picked up my Kayla - my Sun-Kissed Layla Elf - last night.  I was never able to bond with her, so Charie was going to remove her red nose and black lips and redo them. But, as fate would have it, there was an accident with the sealer, and Charie had to totally strip her down and start from scratch. Like, what is it with my Kaye Wiggs dolls and their bad reaction to the Testor's sealer?  So she gave Kayla a brand new, lovely faceup, much like the promo photos I originally fell in love with when I ordered the doll. Gone is the red nose, and gone are the black lips and eyebrows, and her new blush is a much better colour and doesn't make her skin look "green". No wonder I never bonded with Kayla, as she really didn't look like her promo photos at all. But now she does, and I'm very happy with her. Finally she has the face I fell in love with, and it's all thanks to a "happy accident", and a very talented faceup artist!

And for those of you interested in seeing how she looked before, here she is last Christmas....

I am so pleased that you have the doll you always wanted! I hope she finally settles into your group.

I am always amazed at how face-up artists can work their magic!
