I purchased this Dena doll a while back when Georgette Taylor was selling the trio. I purchased Dena and a Dawn, but the Dawn has not yet arrived. Anyway, Dena arrived with extremely brittle hair. Her hair fell out when ever I touched it and I noticed that it was falling out in clumps even as she was standing. I proceeded to remove the rest of her hair and was getting ready to get supplies to reroot it when I found this wig. I tried it on her and I loved it! I think she looks absolutely gorgeous! |
I was wondering how you got her hair to look so great until I read it was a wig. LOL Organizing is always refreshing which is why I am always trying to do it. LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I love the new couple!
DeleteThe wig really worked out nice. I got a couple more so I can see how she does with other looks too!
DeleteLavinia looks awesome! I also like their sweaters.
ReplyDeleteHer's is from Christofer Banks and Tyson's is a older Ken sweater. They do look nice on them!
DeleteFirst of all, cute couple. I knew that was a Perfectly Petite kitchen when I saw this photo on Flickr. I love the kitchen items that seller makes. So realistic. The second thing (1st being I'm cheap) that has stopped me from buying kitchen cabinets is worrying about where I'd get a stove to go with the cabinets.
ReplyDeleteDemonte is cute and I'm sure he's enjoying that new body. He can actually do something now. And, poor Dena losing her hair. The wig looks good on her though. I want the chairs from that dining set. I hate that Mattel keeps adding those holes in everything so the items don't fall off. I get it, especially when I'm shooting a scene and I keep knocking everything over. But still, the hole take away from the realistic look. They are trying though.
I can't wait to see more dios and stories.
I have a Tyco Kitchen Little stove that I think will go perfectly after I clean it up and maybe repaint it. I am thinking of giving it a stainless steel look to break up the white, but I might do it in white too. Don't know yet! I also have an extra Sears refrigerator that is more in scale with these cabinets, so I will probably use that. I am thinking of adding an island to go with it too. I will have to wait to see what home I put it in!
DeleteDemonte is rocking that new body, isn't he? He didn't have any trouble showing it off, that is for sure! I don't like those holes either, but I did see someone that added a thin plastic or cardboard top to their table to get rid of that look and I think I might give that a try.
Got a Dasia earlier this year. Trying to find a Dena. Love those plus sized dolls.
ReplyDeleteThey are hard to find! I love both of my girls!
DeleteWelcome Tyson! He makes a handsome couple with Livinia! Hip Hoodie makes the perfect teenage son. But I'm sure Ken was NOT happy losing his body to him!
ReplyDeleteLavinia was so happy when she met Tyson! The chemistry was so amazing! I do other AA Texas A&M Kens, so this one will just have to get over it! 😉
DeleteVery nice new residents! Dena looks great with this wig. It actually gives her personality. I love it! Your furniture is great! I have ordered from her and the quality is totally awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI know, it really gave Dena a whole new personality! I actually got those cabinets a month or so before the convention. I have a few other pieces of furniture from Perfectly Petite and I agree, the quality is really nice!
DeleteAh, there is nothing like good chemistry. That's what makes the world go round! Glad to see the dolls finding their place in your stories! I love the new kitchen. I told myself that for 2016 I wanted to start setting up dios and room boxes and I haven't done one single thing this year, lol. I definitely bought a lot of dolls, though! Maybe next year will be better..haha. I love your new Hip Hop fashionista Ken..what a dreamy face! He looks great in his new body. Dena looks like a wonderful lady and I cant' wait to see more about her! So glad to hear the organizing has gone well as I know it makes a world of a difference, just to get things cleared away and cleaned up! Looking forward to more stories! :)
ReplyDeleteGetting things organized is really hard work, but so worth it in the end. I have to pace myself, but getting something done each day gives me a sense of accomplishment. I am excited about getting both permanent and temporary structures together for story telling. I also want to do a park set up as I am still not brave enough to do doll photos outside!
DeleteI have never seen a neck knob like that! They don't want that doll to have any fun.
ReplyDeleteThe first time I saw this type of neck knob was on a $5.00 playline Barbie. I was surprised to see it on the Fashionista guys. Can't get too much stiffer that they are already. The legs also only have back and forth movement, pretty much no side to side. I am so glad I had the Texas A&M body for him!
DeleteSo many great things in this post. Nice seeing Livonia in her new sweater. I have that one too, but haven't tried it on anyone yet. Love the kitchen cabinets. I'm so jealous that you found a hip hop hoodie doll. I'm still looking. They ought to be a shame giving him that body. Your Dena looks wonderful with her new hair. It seems like a few of the Denas had hair that fell out. Nice of Dasia to loan out her outfit. Looks nice on her.
ReplyDeleteYes, I love those new Christopher Banks sweaters! Lavinia looks so nice in it! I ordered my Hip Hoodie guy from Barbie.com. I happened to be on line pretty much the minute they became available for order. They were already backordered by the time I completed my order. I took advantage of the cyber week sale and got him for $7.49 with free shipping. I do love that wig on Dena. It gives her a whole new personality. I am not sure Dasia actually loaned her that outfit as much as Dena just saw it and had to wear it!
ReplyDeleteWitaj Phyllis! Wszystko mi się bardzo podoba! Kuchnia jest wspaniała! Lavinia i jej partner to cudowna para :-)
ReplyDeleteAA Ken jest bardzo przystojny! Teraz, na ciałku artykułowanym, to wspaniały chłopak!
Rewelacyjna również jest peruka, którą założyła dama na ostatnim zdjęciu :-)
Pozdrawiam gorÄ…co!
Glad you like! I love everything too! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I always enjoy reading your comments.
DeleteI love that chemistry! And what a fabulous body swap you've done. We always get these dolls much later in the UK than you do in the USA, but I love that good looking Mr Hip Hoodie!
ReplyDeleteSometimes things just click with dolls and the chemistry is undeniable! Hip Hoodie is now starting to show up in our stores, so hopefully, you will be able to get him in the UK soon. He is available on Barbie.com, but I looked at the shipping to Europe and the UK and the charges are astronomical!
DeletePS I just had a look and that Texas A&M doll is going for over £400 on Amazon here in the UK! Ouch!
ReplyDeleteHe is going for pretty high prices here too! One thing I do when I know I like a body for body swaps, is I stock up when they are on sale or I have credits. I got this particular body from a friend who is moving so she was purging her doll collection. She sold him to me for a very low price!
DeleteI feel like such a stalker since this post is dated all the way back to 2016! (tehehe..) I could just kick myself for not buying that Ken Fashionista while he was still in stores and at a reasonable price! I never knew that there were fully articulated Ken dolls either. I thought the most articulation they attained was in their arms and sometimes the legs. You learn something new everyday! You did an awesome job with rebodying him, color is spot on!
