On eBay: Doll Shoes & Boots

I've been hunting around (wasting my life) for the past few hours for stuff for my 12" dolls. It never ends. I started out on Etsy and wound up on eBay. Here's some stuff I thought you might find interesting.

MSD Size 1/4 BJD Shoes Doll Boots  Dollfie 1311 Sale
Yosd Shoes 1/6 Size BJD Doll Boots Yosd Dollfie BB 012
Pink is everywhere!
 
Snow Boots for Blythe / Pullip / 1/6 doll shoes - white
Blythe 1/6 Obitsu Momoko Doll Shoes Crocodile Boots
You know you want these for yourself.

[Sunny's World] 1/6 Shoes ( N023BB )
New Dollfie Yo SD Mary Jane 1/6 BJD Dolls Shoes Gold
I love these gold shoes. The bows come off for another look. 

Fashion Royalty dolls will not be able to wear these shoes mainly because the shoes are not arched but also because they would look ridiculous on a sophisticated fashion doll.

These shoes are mainly for Momoko, Obitsu, Blythe, Pullip, Yo-SD BJD, and I'm guessing Misaki will fit too. One seller gives the measurement of 'Inner Foot Length (Approx.): 1 3/4 inch (4.5cm).' The first pair of shoes is for a larger doll. Those are my favorites.

Go grab a doll and a ruler and check out the wonderful selection of shoes at seriously great prices.  These shoes are all coming from Asia-probably directly from the factories where they are made.  My eBay search was for 1/6 shoes in the Dolls & Bears category.

Honoring Vanessa Perrin

While I should have been doing paperwork and other important things, I got busy instead creating a montage of my Vanessas. I captured all 22 original sculpts. There is a duplicate and a few altered ones in there. I left out my other OOAK Vans. Can you find the altered ones and the duplicate?

"Sugar"     OOAK Poppy Parker by idrusa
Isn't this just adorable? The repaint and reroot colors are perfect for Poppy Parker. She's verrrry sweet now!
This was originally a Beatnik Blues Poppy. Idrusa did a wonderful job of transforming that doll into "Sugar."

Toxica Plus

One of my favorite doll photographers goes by the name aquabluerose and posts regularly on Prego. I am not a collector of the beautiful Sybarite dolls but I appreciate her collection and her images. Gerri knows how to edit. I am sure she takes scores of pictures at each photo shoot and then chooses the best and only the best to post. It's so boring to open a post and see pictures of the same doll in the same outfit with a fraction of difference between each of about 10 pictures. I never look past the first two or three. But when one amazing image is posted I spend time oohing and aahing. 
Today she posted pictures of Toxica. Here is one of them:
Toxica "Sun"

After enjoying those, I drifted over to her website, infidel, to look at more.

Just For Fun, a Composite

Click on the picture to see it full-sized. I took some of my old Misaki pictures and combined them with new ones. I like looking at pictures of dolls I have no longer or that I rarely play with.

Paranormal Misaki

Kill me now. I've started up with the Misakis again. I thought I kicked the habit a few years ago when I sold my entire collection. Sigh. I tell myself it's OK because I'm not pre-ordering and paying retail. I'm hunting for bargains and finding them. (It's a sickness.)

I removed Paranormal's hat because it hides her lovely hair. She is so pretty.




Since purchasing Red Rabbit Misaki, seen below in Go Home's outfit,  Paranormal Misaki, Pure Evil Misaki, Ye-Ye Amelie and Royal Amelie have joined the tribe.



Misaki dolls' feet are larger than Nu-Face/Fashion Royalty feet. I didn't want to force the red boots onto her. The shoes are a Volks' product.


Yes, these are point and shoot photos. My bad.
