Promenade Amelie

Another lovely doll arrived today, Promenade Amelie.  Let's take a look at some real-life photos of this dolly. Her print top reminds me of the the 04ANlw Momoko because of the white top and large print of a doll face.  Perhaps that is why I was drawn to this doll.  The Amelie shoes are delicate and wonderful in all their metallic and platform wonder.  Don't forget about the oversized bag with the FR Nippon logo.  This lady is advertising herself and her company.

Her matching counterpart, Misaki, is also fabulous, but I decided to limit myself to one doll, for now.

Wedding Smile Momoko

The Momoko being looked at today is called Wedding Smile.  Please see in real-life photos below.  Sekiguchi mentions Wedding Smile is a doll in, “natural and simple wedding style.”  I completely agree.  She is dressed in simple beautiful white fabrics, including an eyelet fabric to complete the entire dress.  Her dress tapers down in the back, perhaps alluding to a formal wedding train. Personally, I love this doll, but I am also biased toward white clothing.  Also, it is the first time I have seen that little straw hat pop up on Momoko dolls and it is simply fabulous.

What do you think of the doll?  Is she smiling to you?  Post about it on the Facebook page.

Berry Hunter Momoko

When I first started collecting Momoko dolls, Berry Hunter was at the top of my list.  Perhaps it is because she comes with glasses and I just love those little dolly specs.  It has been a while, but I finally got around to getting Berry Hunter and she is all that and a bag of chips.  Her overall jeans are pretty tight, even for a Momoko, but those little usable pockets are just great. There is something sweet about this doll that makes her a special part of my collection.  What do you think of Berry Hunter?  Post about it on the Facebook page.

Also, get ready for that pattern book.  It will be out very soon.

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.

Boater Ensemble Silkstone Barbie

One of the recent Barbie Fan Club exclusive Silkstone dolls is Boater Ensemble.  I saw the pictures on the Barbie Collector website and really felt I needed to have this doll.  Well, she came in the mail a few days ago and, I have to say, I was not as impressed with the in-real-life doll versus the promo photos.  I decided to sit on it for few days before I made up my mind about this little lady. Boater Ensemble, I feel, is like many dolls where the promo photos do not necessarily coincide with the final product.  Boater’s face paint is a little different, especially the lip color.  See below for photos of the Silkstone Barbie, still in the box with netting around her head.

Do not get wrong, she is still a beautiful doll with darling clothes.  That straw hat with tulle is fantastic!
