Jamieshow Violet ReStyled

I bought this Madame Alexander fashion (on a doll) specifically because I knew it would be beautiful on my new Violet. The shoes do not fit but the dress fits beautifully. The Ilaria wig was made for Sybarites. I am very happy that it fits the Jamieshow head.
Violet is stunning as a blonde!

J'Adore Gene got Violet's lavender gown.

Amy Farrah Fowler - Or Not?

Today Tonner released the promotional prototype photo of the Amy Farrah Fowler doll. At first glance, it looks like her. Up close, not so much. A few thirty-somethings that I showed her picture to don't think it looks a lot like Amy. I like her glasses and that's about it.
What do you think of this doll who stands only 15" tall and is on Tonner's teenager body?

Tutorial: Freddy Ramirez Restyles Jamieshow Madra's Wig Cap

After cutting the thread from each chignon.

This is what the hair looked like once I removed the rubber bands and combed the hair out. 

Here's the back (very thin, not much hair to work with) 

 

I made a ponytail with 2 rubber bands to make 1 chignon instead of 3.  

Finished product. I folded the hair in to make the chignon. I used a glue gun to hold it in place.  

 

It took me 3 tries before I was able to get it in the shape I wanted. Removing the glue is not difficult. I use Goo Gone. Spray some on the glue and let it sit a minute or two and the glue will peel off. I washed the hair afterwards to remove the Goo Gone. Below is a pic of the bottle. (Ed. Note: Do not use Goo Gone near the doll's face.)

Thanks, Freddy, for giving me permission to share this with my readers.

Enclosure Royale Fashion from Superdoll Collectibles

I knew something new was going to pop up on their site today and I went there several times, refreshing each time. It wasn't until I dug through posts at Syb Monde that I found the link to the listing.

Here's the description from the Superdoll site:

ENCLOSURE ROYALE SYB/756

A highlight of the social calendar, ASCOT, where the stakes are high, and thoroughbreds as good as the champagne.

Off to the races she goes, wearing double neck cravat under the ultimate in miniaturised silk houndstooth weave...
a tailored sleeveless jacket with yellow insert piping detail.
This goes over the yellow ruffled petticoat that pushes the gathered houndstooth silk skirt to it's perfect silhouette as she holds her breath... the racers approach the halfway mark.
With the odds in her favour, white hold up hose and suspender belt complete the inner workings of this winning ensemble.
Accessories include a gloss PVC tricorn hat trimmed in yellow binding and fierce black netting, a skull top walking cane and yellow courts bearing post heels in perspex. A black gloss PVC belt and as a finishing touch, a lace edged kerchief to wave the jockeys on their way..

It's in the detail.

Fancy a flutter? this one is the bookies' favourite!
