First, I want to thank everyone for the kind words I've received about my "Summer Vacation" countdown. It means a great deal to hear them. I've received encouragement on The Doll Page, here, flickr, and in my personal e-mails. Thank you.
Today, I am going to spotlight a doll with whom I had trouble bonding. It was very difficult to find a version of this doll that had good eyes and good hair. Maybe it was because there were only 500 in her edition size. She was part of a mini-basic line in 2010 called "The Dazzle Collection" and cost $80 retail. She is
Soul Deep Adele Makeda.
Collectors had been wanting a rooted Afro Adele for a very long time. Somehow everything evolved into a doll that was very retro. Even with those upward, side-glancing eyes, I do love my Soul Deep Adele - she adds something interesting and unique to my collection.
She SOOOOO pretty! I love everything about her from her head to her boots!!
