Who's That Vanessa?
Aerodynamic Vanessa - the original - had surprising black lips and beautiful red hair pulled back into a straight pony tail.
I freed her hair and crimped it.
Then I had her repainted.
And then I bought another one who had been rerooted.
She was not a popular doll at first. Now all the original Vanessas are sought after. Who is your favorite?
Her lips are Black? I always thought they were a blue-black (sort of harshly cozying up to her soft blue shadow. I loved her look. I never owned her, but a friend gave me her's to repaint the lips. I played with her as she was - until the painting happened. Then we broke up. Playtime was over. LOL

Oooh- a gothic Vanessa. I totally would want her- I think she looks kinda neat with black lips and crimped red hair :D
ReplyDeleteI like the looks of High Tide Vanessa with her outrageous bang- (but the outfit is terrible).

ReplyDeleteSometimes they look blue-black. Today they look black.
DeleteI like the crimped hair, what did you use to do get it that way?
ReplyDeleteThanks. I braided her hair and dunked it in boiled water for about 30-60 seconds. Let it dry before unbraiding.
DeleteI love the airbrushed makeup on this edition. The raven haired version is fantastic. The lips are not my favorite, but it works for her look.
