Ajuma is in the House!

Ajuma, Paul Pham's newest Numina (LE50) has arrived in time for the holidays. She has definitely cheered me up.

Her hard cap made by Chewin is beyond unique.

I've had several Numina and always wound up trading them for other dolls due to the difficulty I had with the knee joint. But a little birdie told me I could wire the knees which will firm them up and give me the stability I desire in a BJD. I'm going to have to do the same with my Ficon Leonie.

Pants pockets are trimmed with zipper teeth.

 I love the colors she is wearing.

Pink Suede Boots

 Numina have the largest feet of all my BJDs.

Superdoll Abbe Lane on Sale Tomorrow

Marl announced today that "Wolf Whistles,"  a new creation from the makers of Sybarite dolls, will be available exclusively at marlbe.com tomorrow, September 1 at Noon, Eastern Time.

Indeed!'   Simply side parted wig in a twisted updo, matching leopard corseted swimsuit, chiffon waist slashed wrap and leopard stilettos! Yes! Stiletto heels on the beach!  Course weave hessian beach bag with chain straps and divine hand embroidered detailing.  Includes doll stand and applied eyelashes. Please note: this doll comes in 2 face sculpts. She will have either a closed or open mouth! LE 50 each

 _________________________________

I prefer the closed mouth, but I would have to see her in person as it is hard to tell from the pictures. I read that the Abbe doll does not use the current Sybarite body.

I am perplexed as to why there are still nearly 40 Neurotica Sybarites remaining. (No it doesn't say that on the website but there is a way to figure it out.) I love mine. She is gorgeous. Her fashions is stunning. Her face is divine. Perhaps people were put off by the tattoos or the unusual hairstyle or the high price of $820. (EEK) I'm thrilled to have mine.

It was a very busy week in the 16" fashion doll world. Today Ajuma went on sale. I scored one. How could I resist? She is just magnificent.
