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.

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.

Exploring the World: Dolls in Croatia

Back in September, I had the opportunity to travel to Croatia.  While traveling along the Dalmatian Coast, I was on the lookout for dolls and I found a couple different dolls in some shops in Hvar and Dubrovnik.  There was a shop with many plastic dolls on a spinning rack and each seemed to have a little different flair to them.  My fav had to be the girl with glasses.  I also noticed a ceramic doll-like figure during my travels that I thought was quite lovely. Travel dolls also came with me to Croatia.  Below are two Momoko posing at Diocletian's Palace in Split.

Beautiful Lines Momoko

When this Momoko came out a while back, I was in love with the different collar choices.  I finally got around to purchasing her and taking some photographs.  Below are real-life photos of her.  There is still saran wrap on her body from the packaging since I didn't want to remove it. An interesting note about this particular Momoko is that her collars are quite delicate.  I broke the white lace one within minutes of opening the box, but it was, fortunately, easy to repair.  Also, it appears the pale pink collar could be a tad larger since it doesn't seem to go all the way down to the collar seam of the dress.

What do you think?  Post about it on the Facebook page.  The outfit is sure a winner for me.
