In Real Life: Momoko ae First Love

A lovely new Momoko arrived at my front door a couple of days ago and she deserves her own special post.  The ae STB First Love Momoko is really something special with her darling corset and honey face.  Anyone who knows me well is pretty aware of my need to collect dolls in white/off white clothing, so this doll was a must-have in this house.  Her simple makeup is really a great match too. What do you think of the Momoko?  Post about it on the Facebook page.

Happy Box Momoko: CCS Today's 14HB

This lovely Momoko came as a part of the Happy Box 2014 set.  Below are some photos of the doll out of the box.  More than one PetWorks doll came with the knit outfit with puffy sleeves, which I can't say I've been a fan of, but the doll is darling.  She didn't come with shoes, but I added by goldish flats so she wouldn't wander around the house taking photos barefooted.

In Real Life: Momoko ae "F.L.C. 2013"

The PetWORKs Momoko ae "F.L.C. (Four-leaf clover) 2013" arrived in the mail yesterday and I wanted to take the time to post some non-stock photos of her.  I know I often say a particular Momoko is really great and is at the top of my list of Momoko, but this one might be pretty close to first place. She has beautifully cut clothing; both hard with the leather jacket and boots, and soft with the little lacy dress.  The paint on her lips is thinly painted compared to most honey faced Momoko, but it works great.  I think the doll lip paint is actually more salmon-pink than the promo photos.  Her lighter colored hair is much more obvious in the back, since the darker rooted hair appears to follow the crown of her head.

I might be selling off a bit of my Momoko collection soon, but this one is a keeper!  F.L.C. always does beautiful work.  What do you think?  Post about it on the Facebook page.

CCS 13SM Home Momoko, IRL

The CCS 13SM Home Momoko is out of the box and ready for some quick photos.  I opted for the "white" version of the doll because I just love Momoko flats.  I finally have a pair of yellow flat that I have been seeking for quite a while!  Her sister is the "gray" version and comes with black boots. This Momoko appears to have much more noticable opaque lip paint than in the stock photos.  Not that I'm complaining, I actually like it quite a bit more.  Her fingernails are a bright green.  I had her push her bangs out of the way to get a close up of her eyebrows and eyelashes.  She comes in a very over-sized shirt that reads, "DON'T COUNT YOUR DOLLS."  It's an appropriate recommendation at this point.

What do you think of the doll?  Post about it on the Facebook page.

Breath of Spring CCS Momoko

The two 13SP "Breath of Spring" Momoko arrived today and I was simply thrilled.  I haven't had a chance to get a CCS Momoko lately, but I was pleasantly surprised by the new box style, which seems more eco-friendly.  Check out the photos below for real-life pics of the dolls. First up is Cranberry Tea.  Naturally, she has the cranberry colored knit one-piece dress and darker hair.  Her two-tone hair is very subtle.  She is very sweet.

Next up is Hazelnut Latte.  I was on the fence about his lady at first, but I'm glad I decided to order both because she is certainly one of my fav Momoko yet.  The higher contrast two-tone hair is great, especially with the matching eyebrows and pale pink lips.  I noticed Latte's boots are a little more pliable, which I haven't seen in these STOC boots before.  If anything, I prefer this style because they are easier to get on and off the doll.

The temperature dropped in my area today, making me want some tea or coffee all the more.
