Wilde Imagination's Lizettte Arrives

Wilde Imagination has announced the arrival of Ellowyne's new friend, Lizette. There is one basic doll and two dressed dolls.

The basic is a wigged doll, Essential Lizette, and sure to be very popular.  I like the wild wig look much better than the smooth one. It gives her character and works perfectly with her skin color. She's adorable! She is $119. and WI is offering free shipping until midnight January 31st.

This dressed doll is called A New Girl in Town. I like her hairstyle which is rooted. The rest of the outfit is odd and looks like something a waitress or a volunteer nurse would wear. Part of her back story is Lizette collects hats.
"Pretty Little Lizette" is shown here and I love her outfit! She is wigged (removable) and that's a good thing because I don't think this wig works for her at all. Both dressed dolls are $149.

I would love to see Lizette's ethnicity fully embraced with frizzy hair and all. I hope I'm not being politically incorrect but this is a dark skinned doll. She has AA features and I'd enjoy seeing WI run with that.

Whoosh




I love the way this Photoshop effect drags the color out of what ever it's edge touches. Toxica's tattoos visible in this photo say Hope, Faith, Love and Life. I need some hands for these gals that have more expression. Happily that is my only issue with my Sybarite dolls. Some of the ultra exclusive dolls come with hand sets.

And I thought a $750 doll was pricey...

Fashion Picks and Nit Picks of Golden Globe 2012

The men looked gorgeous in their tuxedos. Leonardo looks good to me no matter what.
Leonardo DiCaprio in Giorgio Armani
For the ladies there were too many over-designed gowns. More is not better; it's just more. So many were sprouting out of feathers, flourishes and tiers of manipulated fabric.

Of the 90 or so images I looked at, these were my female favorites:
Jessica Alba in Gucci
Penelope Ann Miller in Pamela Roland
Sarah Hyland in Vintage Dolce Gabbana
Shailene Woodley in Marchesa
Not quite decided about these but they did have a unique appeal to me.
Selma Hayek in Gucci
Zooey Deschanel in Prada

Simple bodice with a fascinating bottom of painterly quality. (Perhaps feathers?)
Sophia Vergara in Vera Wang
Bird, reptile, fish or Cirque costume? All she needs is an appropriate snake headdress.
Evan Rachel Wood in Gucci Premiere
A category of her own. Picture Tilda without the face and the jacket.
Tilda Swinton in Haider Ackermann
The worst:
This looks like a chenille bedspread. Poor thing. She looks overwhelmed.
Ariel Winter in Dolce & Gabbana
We're off to see the Wizard. This gown's beautiful silhouette deserved better color treatment. She looks like the Jolly Green Giant.
Laura Dern in Andrew Gn
I have no words for this laser-cut greeting card parading as a dress.
Dianna Agron in Giles
My Mother's Baby-Blue Sequined Portieres (left side.) The beadwork is gorgeous but the zipper is so noticeable and for some reason it looks as if she didn't have time to finish getting dressed. She needs a clutch and something else...perhaps a touch-up for her roots?
Jodie Foster in Giorgio Armani


This has been way too much fun.
