Happy Birthday, Lewis Carroll - Part 2

And now on to part 2 of my Alice post (a little late due to the bad cold I am experiencing). 

First up are the Licca dolls in Alice in Wonderland related costumes. I have just a few.

 Licca as Alice.

Licca as Alice (in pants!).

Licca as the White Rabbit.

Licca as the Mad Hatter.

And Licca as Alice, again. Note: There are some great Licca Alice costumes I don't have, including Licca as the Red Queen.

Next up is Liv Doll Hayden as the White Rabbit. I adore the aesthetics of this doll and costume.

Mini Pullip as the March Hare.

And last, but not least, Little Mimi as Alice (from Korea).

What Alice in Wonderland themed dolls do you have?

A Red and Pink Valentine

It is that time of year again.

February 14th is just around the corner and some of my dolls got all dolled up (LOL) in red and pink for a festive St. Valentine's Day photo.

Jill is sporting polka dots.

Ginny is sweet in pink.

Hayden wears brighter pink.

And Barbie sparkles in red.

Liv has a Hanbok

The first time I went to Korea, I bought a hanbok for my Barbie type dolls as a souvenir. I just remembered after this most recent trip that I had never tried it on my dolls.

So, I opened it up today. It was, yuck, stapled to the cardboard backing in 3 places. that made it a little difficult to remove it with out ripping. Luckily I managed it. Then I tried it on my 1980s Barbie. Poor Barbie, the hanbok is much to tight in the chest to fit her. Hayden tried it on, and it fits her pretty well.

Whoops, the dress only fastens over the back, Hayden has to be careful not to moon everyone.

Compared to Mimi's hanbok, this one looks pretty cheap. Still, Hayden is happy to have new clothing.

A Tale as Old as Time

A local vendor was selling doll clothes this week. After looking, I ended up buying two outfits.

Hayden volunteered to model the first outfit.

Meant to look like the ballgown in Beauty and the Beast, the outfit appears to be too large for most 11 1/2 - 12 inch fashion dolls. The Monster High dolls could walk through the neck line and the Barbie dolls that were modeling the dresses at the vendor's stand looked lost in the dresses. It does fit the Liv doll (Hayden) extremely well, though.

Hayden as the White Rabbit

Another doll I bought for myself for Christmas (I wouldn't have gotten any dollies if I didn't buy them for myself, sigh) is the Liv Doll, Hayden as the White Rabbit. I guess I have a thing for Hayden.

Out of the outer box, but still attached to the packaging. This outfit is so pretty!

Out of the package and ready to go.

Her watch even opens.

With the two other Haydens.

Liv Dolls

Right before the move, I decided to buy a Liv doll. I was interested in checking out their maneuverability and play-ability. Walmart had the Making Waves dolls on sale, so I chose Making Waves Hayden.

She is a basic Liv in a bathing suit. Not long after, I realized that she couldn't hang out in a bathing suit in February, so I bought a cute nautical outfit, also on sale. I was starting to become addicted. By the actual move I had bought another outfit (pajamas), an extra wig, and another Hayden, Twist and Dance.

Here is Hayden in her nightgown, robe, and slippers.

While she has decent mobility, she can not cross her legs, and does not have full BJD range of motion.

She can balance on her own in many poses.

In her cute, 2-piece bathing suit.

Ready for a walk on the boardwalk.

This is the Twist and Dance doll. I loved the look, but was disappointed that the body doesn't move the same as the other doll. The legs don't bend and she can't even sit down. It looses a lot of play-ability.
