Checking Off From The Wishlist

In November 2013, I responded to a TAG game for "Wish List" of 10 most sought after clothing pieces.  It's been 18 months and I have been able to acquire 4 of those pieces.   One arrived this past weekend.

Lucky for me I found all the clothing pieces for Tatyana J'Adore for sale at a great price.  I had the gown on my wish list, so I was excited to find the gown, coat, and short dress sold as one lot.   It was fun selecting models for the different pieces.   Soul Deep Adele seemed like a good choice to modernize the beaded sheath with the fur trim.

Here's a close up.  I think her make up palette looks lovely with the colors in the dress, don't you agree?

I needed an elegant doll with an edgy look for the gown.  I decided it would look good on Blue Blood Elise Jolie.

I am very pleased with the result.

When it came time to model the coat, there was only one choice.  "Darling, you know that was purchased with me specifically in mind," cooed The Royal Weiss.

She knew this was hers.

The luxe feel of these clothes reminded me of what IT gift sets used to be all about.  I miss them and would like to see the richness returned.

Summer Vacation Day 58

I'm glad I decided to redress and photograph a different doll from my collection every day of my summer break.  I apologize in advance if you get sick of my dolls or photographs.  It is now Day 58 of my summer vacation (I'm counting backwards).   I am going to try to choose a different character as often as possible.

The next doll is one that has become extremely popular with collectors.   She was introduced in 2009 as the Integrity Convention Doll.  She was released in an edition size of 350 and was included with the $350 registration fee.  She is Blue Blood Elise Jolie.

I wanted something summery and flirty for today's photoshoot.  This silly little sundress is one of the least expensive outfits I've purchased.  It came on a Jakks Pacific doll on the clearance rack at K-Mart.  I think I paid $3 for it.  It just goes to show you don't have to spend a lot of money to enjoy redressing your dolls!

I purchased Blue Blood from a member of the W Club for $225 NRFB.  I was so excited to be the first to contact the seller.  I hope she sees this blog entry and knows this dolls brings me a lot of joy.    I wanted her to carry something a little whimsical, so this is a Misaki purse.

Blue Blood Elise Jolie is the only version of this mold to appear on the regular FR body.   She is still one of my favorites of this mold.  I just love her so!
