Paparazzi Bait Adele

Last, but not least (for now), we have Paparazzi Bait Adele.  Again, this was another doll I had put away as one to get rid of but I have changed my mind (for now).  I think what put me off most was how I ruined her hair.  The doll originally came with much tighter curls but they were so filled with gunk it wasn't funny.  So I decided to try and was that gunk out and this is the result.  Some might big, messy hair.  I am just so HOPELESS when it comes to hair.

But she is still a gorgeous doll and here she is wearing a whole mixture of stuff - the dress is from a Barbie Basic, those luscious leopard print shoes came with Adele, the belt came with something over the years as did the hat.  The cute dog came with a Barbie Basic accessory pack.  

Darius

In these pics we have Darius who was one of Mattel's first line of dolls with the 'Model Muse' body.  As you can see the MM bodies come in various 'posed' positions as also depicted in the Barbie Basics dolls I have posted pics of.  

There have been a lot of comments in the doll community on how 'thin' the bodies are but it does not personally bother me as I have never associated fashion dolls with real life body image.  Also, these dolls don't seem as popular because they are not articulated.  Whilst I do lean a bit more towards articulated doll bodies now, I still do appreciate those that aren't as well.  The way I see it, most of them are just posed at that moment when they reach the end of the cat walk.  LOL

This is another Fashionista closet fashion with earrings and bracelets added.  Many people have also said that this doll resembles Paris Hilton a lot.  Sadly, I can see the resemblance (I peronally cannot stand Paris Hilton) but I think she has less plastic than Paris.  LOL

Teresa

Teresa is looking both Mod and current in her cute little fashion.  I think I have mentioned previously that I went through a bunch of my dolls and put aside some that I may try selling at a later stage due to dolly overload....well Teresa was another one I had put aside and I don't know why now.  Good thing I have not gotten rid of those dolls yet...bad thing is that eventually they probably will all end up back on display.  LOL

And again I've taken a pic of her cool boots.

Rock Chic

This is Then and Now Barbie wearing a cute and funky little rocker style outfit that came with another Fashionista closet fashion I found about a month ago.  The cute little ankle boots came with one of the Barbie Basics accessory paks.

A lot of the Fashionista closet fashions are really cute but I have to admit that I am starting to get a bit of a pink overload with them.  I mean I like pink as a colour but I don't want every single fashion to be pink.  Let's hope Mattel eases up on all the pink SOON....don't hold your breath though.

More Luchia

Once again we have Luchia, looking a bit contemplative in this picture.  Here she is wearing a Randall Craig fashion - I can't remember the name of it though.  I do know the outfit came in 2 colours - a blue and a red version.  This red version was the more limited and one I had coveted for some years and finally I was able to buy this outfit for a good price from a friend who needed to raise some $$ quick.

I only have a few Randall Craig fashions.  They can bit a bit on the pricey side but they really are very well made and worth the $$ if you can spare them.

Christie

This is the lovely Christie with those luscious pink streaks in her hair.  She is wearing an FR outfit that was a conventiono exclusive from a few years ago.  The outfit actually came with pink boots which are pretty cool but I thought these amazing Barbie shoes looked much better in this instance.  

My dolls have so many shoes it would put Imelda Marcos to shame ten times over.  LOL  

Snow Bunny

Okay so the background really doesn't fit with her outfit but it's all I have.

This is a cute little Fashionista closet outfit I got a couple of days ago which I thought suited her perfectly.  I added the tights and boots.  This outfit came with the same style boots but in pink and I didn't think it really went well enough with this outfit.

I love her sweet face and soft hair.

Caliente

I think I have the name right (I used to be so good with all the doll names but now there are so many that I find it hard to keep up..LOL), this is a Monsieur Z (MZ) Caliente doll.  The MZ dolls were made by Integrity but are no longer in production.  This is the only MZ doll I have in my collection.  I bought her from a dear friend - I just could not resist her red hair - very close to the colour of my hair.  LOL

She does have a bit of a larger head than normal and her eyes are kind of comic book but I still think she is lovely.  She is on the first FR articulated body but with a smaller bust.  In this pic she is wearing a dress I recently bought from another dolly friend.  I'm not sure actually if it is an OOAK or not but I put the white ribbon around the waist.

Urban Geisha Kyori

Hello again.  Time to upload some more dolly pics.  Here we have one of my favourite of the Fashion Royalty dolls - Urban Geisha Kyori.  As you can see she is still on her original non-articulated body.  I would love to tranfser her to an articulated body but don't have a spare matching body and there is that worry that I will ruin something if I did do a body swap.

Kyori was supposed to be the 'Asian' doll in the FR line but as you can see there is not much of an Oriental look to her at all.  Still, what I love about her the most is those smokey eyes and the pale lips.  She has a kind of 60's mod look to her which can also transform to many other looks.  Here in this pic she is wearing a Disco Barbie fashion which fits her perfectly.
