Fresh and Fruity



Happy Easter!, originally uploaded by sylviecola(trying to catch up.).

Here’s my new girl “Simply Mango.” I haven’t given her a name yet. She came with “Simply Guava” who has fluorescent pink hair. CWC will sometimes release dolls as a set which brings the price down per doll. I try to take advantage of these so I can have them around to customize.

But I really like this girl just as she is. I love the color of her hair. I’m not wild about Guava. I’m sure once Guava is customized though I’ll change my tune. But this Mango girl. I just LOVE her hair color! It’s the color of a mango lassi. Maybe I’ll call her Lassi. I’m sure everyone else that gets her will call her that too. I can be sure there will be at least one.

For now I will change out her chips. I enjoy the shiny newness of a freshly released Blythe. Then when I tire of her I’ll probably customize her and debate whether I should sell her nor not. Right now I can’t imagine doing that. I just really get happy when I look at her hair. PAM does the same thing. I don’t play with my PAM that often but I get a little pick me up when I look at her teal hair.

The Power of Green

Agua get’s a makeover, originally uploaded by sylviecola(trying to catch up.).

No, I’m not talking about money…well not directly. I’m talking green hair. Anytime I’ve customized a doll with green hair and then offer her up for sale or even before she’s been offered up, the doll gets snatched up pretty fast.

This pretty girl in the picture is my customized Simply Peppermint, Agua.  Alas, she’s mine no longer and is actually on her way to Australia.  ‘

I wasn’t initially planning on selling her but the previous doll I finished up, Frankie Freckle Face, became too irresistible to sell so I decided to keep her for now.  And after an impulse buy or two,  I had to put another girl in her place.  Agua volunteered. My house is too crazy for her I guess.

I will miss her.  However,  I’m waiting for a factory doll,(impulse buy,)  that has Amaryllis’ hair and I’ve been itching to add her to my collection. Plus since this doll is a factory/prototype doll, I don’t have to feel guilty about customizing her since Amaryllis is quite expensive.

Back to green hair. I guess it’s no coincidence that of all the fantasy colors CWC uses, different shades of green seems to be one of the most frequently used. Pink is actually used the most for fantasy colors and then I think green is next.

Frankie Freckle Face

IMG_2069, originally uploaded by sylviecola(trying to catch up.).

This is a new girl I sneaked in some time to work on.  She’s a custom Primadolly Winsome Willow. As her name suggests, her face is covered in freckles.  She doesn’t like to wear make-up but I managed to convince her that some blush and lip gloss would look nice. Of course, it had to be flavored lip gloss.

I gave her this girlie haircut, four new sets of eye-chips and she’s been gaze adjusted, boggled and sleep eyed. Her eyelashes match her hair color.

I’ll probably make her available soon. She’s kind of irresistible. Just deciding on what to dress her in. For some reason I’m thinking Brady Bunch but that’s because Winsome Willow reminds me of Marsha Marsha Marsha when her hair is uncut. She does have that 70’s look about her.
