2017 Annual Blog Giveaway, Giveaway #1

And now what you have all been waiting for -- my 2017 Annual Blog Giveaway! Once again, there will be multiple items to be offered. I will be using the same format as before and presenting each item separately one at a time. The rules will follow at the end of the post.

To help me with item number 1, I have enlisted a couple of the new male residents in Hanaly Corners. Let's meet them first:

I had 2 Justin Bieber dolls and donated the body of one of them to another doll. The head for this guy has been rolling around at the bottom of my spare parts box for a while, but as I was reorganizing I found his head. I had purchased an Ever After High Alistair doll to use as a body donor for a Ken doll, but the skin was lighter than I thought. However, it was a good match for the Justin Bieber doll. I didn't want him to be just like the other Justin doll I had, so I made some changes to his hair. 

"Hello everbody! I was originally a Justin Bieber doll, but I have been modified and am now called Jared. I do have an older brother Justin, but I think I am much cuter than he is."

"After getting this new body, the human decided to change my hair. I do have to tell you that I think she did a pretty good job. "

I washed his hair first and then removed half of it. After cropping it as close to his head as I could get it with scissors, I used a razor to shave it even closer. What I couldn't get off with the razor, I used a toothpick to push through the plugs in his head. He has a pretty hard head, and because I wanted to leave part of the hair, I used this process and it worked pretty well. I trimmed and styled the remaining hair and then used some hair gel to help it stay in place. I the added 2 coats of flocking to the bald part of his head.  Below are 2 other views:

I did participate in the crowd funding for the Lammily Boy doll. My dolls arrived just before Christmas. Meet Nicholas:

"Hi everybody! My name is Nicholas, but you can call me Nick. My sister Katie already lives in Hanaly Corners, so I was very glad to move here."

"Don't you think I am a handsome fellow??"

Jared: "Hey, man, it is time for us to do what she brought us in here to do!" 

Nick:  "Umm, I've just been waiting on you. You just had to show off that fancy new hair cut you got!"

Jared: "Since you brought it up, I definitely think you need to do something with that hair of yours! You kinda look like an old man! 
Nick: "Hey, watch it with the insults!"

Jared & Nick in unison: "Ok everybody here it is! I think you are going to like this!"

This is the Pink Passport clothing set from TRU. There are 10 pretty nice outfits here. I know some of you have this, but if you don't and you win, I think your dolls will love it!
