They're Here!

Bonnie and Owen are here, and they look wonderful! I can't wait to see them painted.

Bonnie is a real cutie, with a hint of a smile. She's normal skin, so she looks very pale unpainted. But I thought it was time Nami had another little friend in her skin-tone.

I'm not fond of the big 12mm eyes Iplehouse always puts in the BIDs, but those are easy enough to replace. Anyway, Bonnie had a very warm welcome, as the other little girls all came to see their new friend, and help her out of her packaging.

I'm really liking Owen. He has great possibilities.  He's the most mature-looking of all the IH JIDs, and he has a nice strong, direct gaze. I was drawn to him right away when he was first introduced this past spring, but couldn't order him at that time because I couldn't risk him coming while I was away on holidays.  I can't wait to see him painted. I'd like him given some facial hair, as his default outift is going to be a Musketeer. 

I see that I'm not the only one drawn to him. When I saw the ladies come running, I quickly gave him Hope's tartan shawl, so he could maintain some modesty.

I like that he's so much taller than the ladies - at least he will be. Right now he's in bare feet with no wig, while the ladies have wigs and are wearing boots with thick soles, so he's going to be considerably taller than they are.

Well, back in their boxes they go, as I have to focus on that last Hallowe'en costume today.
