Vintage Our Generation Battat Doll Gets Wig Makeover

Hi Doll Friends,

Some time ago (I really don't recall when?) I found an Our Generation Doll at a thrift store with a face sculpt I hadn't seen before. I've been looking at and for dolls for over a decade, so I thought I'd seen all the 'older' Our Generation sculpts. So when I found this little lady, I had to pick her up. Then she sat for... Quite a long while. Recently, it I decided it was time I do something with her. Her hair was a disaster, very dirty and thin. So I knew I'd need to give her a new wig. This one at the top is the one I've decided is the best of the ones I tried on. It's actually the wig I removed from Jazz when I made her over. I really love it on her. Below you can see how she looked when I got her. Not very good photos, I thought I'd taken better 'before' photos before I sat down to cut off her hair but I couldn't find them. Then the rest of the photos are of other wig options I tried out. Several of them looked pretty good too. Have any of you seen this sculpt before? I'd love to get more information about her because I can't find anything!

Better run!

Glitter Girls Dolls Ciara and Jas Join The Doll House

Hi Doll Friends,

When I brought home Periwinkle, I kind of went looking to see what other 'fun colored' hair dolls are on the market. When I went to Amazon to look at the Glitter Girls I found Ciara and Jas and that they were less than $14 each. Intrigued, I ordered Ciara. When she arrived, I loved her so much that I went ahead and ordered Jas too. Glitter Girls are such cute dolls! So I am so happy to have them in my collection. The photo above is them with two other 14 inch dolls I have from I'm a Girly Brand called I'm A Wow Dolls. So, if you're looking for some little sisters for your fun colored hair 18 inch dolls? These two Glitter Girls would be a great choice. See below for the unboxing photos and some stock photos from Glitter Girl I snagged off Amazon.

Better run.

Amazon Prime Day American Girl Doll Truly Me Street Chic Number 90

Hi Doll Friends,

How could I not?!

I mean really. 

Amazon Prime Days got me.

Happily so. 

She is so pretty!! 

Now I just need to name her. I'm leaning towards Azul. You know, blue in Spanish. 

That is all.

New York Doll Company City Girls Jazz Gets New Look. Meet Delta Blue!

 

Hi Doll Friends,

I've long loved New York Doll Company's City Girls Dolls It makes me so sad they are no longer made. They were so well made and I love their original sculpt. *sigh* Jazz was the first one I brought home to the Doll House. Then game Harper, who I won in a contest, which, how cool is that? Then came Layla, who, at the time, I thought would probably be the last one to join my collection given that they were $79.99 at their regular price. New York Doll Company still sells 18-inch dolls but they've apparently teamed up with Lotus. Here is my favorite of those, named Catalina. They don't really appeal to me though because they don't differ much at all from other Lotus Dolls I have in my collection. 

Well, before they stopped making them, I found them on a drastic sale. I may or may not have gone a little nuts and bought five of them. I have no regrets at all other than wishing I would've bought a few more at that price. I bought two Harpers, two Beth's and one Jazz. One of the Beth's and Harper's got a makeover quickly after. However, the 'second' Jass and the 'third' Harper were waiting patiently for a makeover. Well, recently I've been making more time for my doll hobby. So I pulled 'Second Jazz' and decided it was time. I put one of the American Girl Doll wigs I found on eBay several years ago and...

  I absolutely love her!!

I think she looks so lovely in her new wig! I've decided to name her Delta-Blue, after Delta Blues, one of the oldest types of blues music. I wanted to give her a 'music' related name because of Jazz's name. Delta Blue also works because of her beautiful blue eyes.

Isn't she lovely?

So now I only have one City Girl left to make over, one more Harper. I suspect that she might get a drastic makeover and become a brother to the others. Don't quote me though, I've been known to change my mind. 

Better run!
