Baby Bratz Sasha and Mini Kenya

Two small, cute dolls I found for a very good price.

Hair Madness Mini Kenya by Kenya Dolls is on the left. They have regular sized fashion dolls and male dolls. They only make Dolls of Color (DOC). This is the only Kenya doll I've ever seen in a store. I bought her on sale at Walgreens. 

She came with a little bag and she has the letter K on both of her shoes. Her shoes are painted on. Her clothes can be removed. 

She has so much hair that she tips over backwards from the weight of it. I'm sure littles girls must love all that hair. 

I don't know much about these dolls. I did check out the Kenya dolls website. Right now they have a sale on some Kenya fashion dolls. 

Mini Kenya's are sweet, nice 6 inch dolls with a crazy amount off hair. I'll only buy them when I find a very good sale. 

This is Baby Bratz - Storybook Collection - Sasha's North Pole Journey. She came in a box that had a stupid story on it that I totally didn't read. She also came with a brush that I kept. I don't see these in stores anymore so I assume they've been discontinued like all the other good dolls that I like. She 4 inches. 

I'm going to leave her hair exactly the way it is because it's so cute. 

She's so sweet. 

Same as with Mini Kenya, I'd only buy more Baby Bratz if I find anymore of them for a very good price. The best price is free, though.

Moxie Teenz Arizona

Moxie Teenz by MGA Entertainment are some of the most beautiful dolls I've ever seen. Unfortunately, they've been discontinued. So many of the wigged, articulated dolls have been discontinued. I don't know why. I wish someone could explain to me why there's such high turnover for these fashion dolls. 

Liv fashion dolls by Spin Master (also discontinued) are my favorite and have the absolute best articulation. But Moxie Teenz had better clothes and accessories and beautiful faces. 

This is Arizona. She has blue, acrylic, inset eyes and gorgeous brown skin. This is the outfit and wig that she came with. She originally had ugly, tacky gold plastic jewelry that I got rid of. And I immediately lost the ring that was on her right hand. I knew that wouldn't last long. I cut off the off white, lace tights that were attached to the skirt because the were ugly and reminded me of the Eighties. I DO NOT want to be reminded of the Eighties. 

I got her for a very reasonable price on eBay. Sellers on eBay usually sell discontinued dolls for insane amounts of money. I can't believe that anyone would buy from those sellers who are obviously trying to rip people off. If I ever find another Moxie Teenz for a decent price, I'll definitely buy it. 

Here she is without her wig. Her face and eyes are beautiful. She has long beautiful lashes. I think she's supposed to be biracial or Hispanic. 

Here she is with a different MT wig and her accessories. She's sitting on a love seat that made out of a box, a gift bag, paper and duct tape. 

Here she is standing next to Liv doll, Alexis. Alexis is done up like she could be a character from the movie, Blade Runner. The Liv doll is 11 1/2 inches. Arizona is 14 inches. 

In this photo she's wearing a Liv Daniella wig. She looks good in different wigs. 

A Moxie Teenz wig I got from ToysRUs for $3. Right now idiots are trying to sell these same wigs for exorbitant amounts of money on eBay. They should be ashamed of themselves. 

Another MT $3 wig and a dress and a hat that I made for her. I learned how to make the dress from a My Froggy Stuff tutorial on YouTube. The hat tutorial is by Chad Alan on YouTube. 

The only highly articulated dolls I see at ToysRUs and Target , right now, are Monster High and Barbie Fadhionistas by Mattel and Bratziilaz by MGA Entertainment. All the good dolls have been discontinued. Moxie Girlz suck. They're a cheap version of Bratz. They're isn't anything special about them. Bratz Catz are articulated as well but I don't see them in stores any more, either. 

I'm bored with Monster High and I CAN'T STAND Barbies. I might just stop collecting dolls until companies start putting out more dolls like Moxie Teenz, Liv and BFC, Ink. 

Right now, I'll just focus on the dolls that I have.

Littlest Pet Shop Blythe Dolls

I can't afford Blythe or mini Blythe dolls right now. I've read some online reviews comparing Littlest Pet Shop Blythe to regular more expensive Mini Blythe dolls. Of course, the more expensive ones are better quality and articulated. But like I said, I ain't got that kind of money so Littlest Pet Shop Blythe by Hasbro is the next best thing.

I love these dolls. They're adorable and right now, they're on sale at my local ToysRUs. They're heads can tilt from side to side and up and down and they have eyelashes. They're knees don't bend. They also come with useless combs. 

This is Pinwheels & Daisies and her cute little dog. I have no idea if the dogs have names. 

Her shoes, hat, dress and glasses can be removed. I really like her dress. It's very pretty. The material is stiff and makes it hard for her to sit down.

I couldn't get her pinwheel to stay on her hand. 

This is Autumn Glam. Her lunchbox or whatever that thing is, opens up. I like her boots and dress but the hat is kind of funky looking. She also comes with an ear of corn. She has beautiful eyes and brilliant red hair. 

This is Cold Weather Cute. She's wearing a pair of ice skates. Her tights are painted on. There isn't anything under her coat. I was disappointed that she didn't have a dress on. Some day I'll make her a cute dress when I figure out how. Maybe I'll buy Blythe clothes from Amazon. 

This is Buckles & Bows. Her tights are painted on. Everything else comes off. Her pet fits into the bag. I think she's a diva with an attitude who likes to go shopping.

This one is called Hiking Trip. I have no idea why. She doesn't look like she's dressed to go hiking to me. 

She didn't come with a pet but she does have a postcard and a lollipop which I can't find anymore. 

Here all the girls and their pets hanging out at the park. 

These dolls have great accessories, removable clothes, hats and shoes. Their eyes are just gorgeous. They have good quality hair and adorable expressions on their faces. 

I don't think Hasbro makes Blythe dolls anymore. And, of course, I jumped on the bandwagon late. The good thing about that is that when I find them in stores their usually on sale for a great price.

Robotica's Cafe - Doll Hangout

I got the idea to make this diner or cafe from Ginger Lola on YouTube. She has a video tutorial about how to make a doll restaurant. I followed the tutorials the best that I could. I didn't have the materials she did or the space in my apartment so mine is small.

Most of my dolls like to hang out here. 

I used an Oil of Olay drug store display case I found in front of my building. Most of the materials I used to decorate it I bought from the dollar store. 

The tables were made out of Popsicle sticks painted white and yogurt containers. The chairs were made out of juice container tops and yogurt containers. I had to weight the tables and chairs down with glass pebbles purchased from the dollar store. They kept tipping over. It was driving me insane. 

Monster High's Venus McFlytrap works behind the counter. Ghoulia and Robecca Steam eat here all the time. Liv's Jake brings Hayden here on dates. Daniella likes to hang out and play her guitar. There's also Liv's Alexis, La Dee Da's Sloane and Bratzillaz's Jade. 

Bon appetit, dolls!

Bratzillaz Illiana Honesty and Various Bratz Dolls

This is Bratzillaz Illiana Honesty. Bratz and Bratzillaz are made by MGA Entertainment, Inc. I prefer the Bratzillaz over Bratz. Bratzillaz are articulated and they have inset acrylic eyes. I really don't like painted on eyes. 

Illiana is one of the most beautiful dolls I've ever seen. I had to have her. It doesn't say much about her on the box like where she's from. I think she's supposed to be from India. 

Iliana's eyes are pink with glitter. They shimmer. They are so beautiful. Her brown skin tone is amazing. Her make up, eyes, earrings and clothes compliment her skin beautifully. 

There is a lot of hair on her head. Her head sometimes wobbles from side to side from the weight of her hair. But I don't care. I love her braid and will never take it out. 

She has nice henna tattoos on her hands. A nice touch. It's better than those stupid tattoos on the other Bratzillaz. (Which I sandpapered off.)

Her she is from the side. I'm not going to describe her outfit because you can see it for yourself. 

I am disappointed with her shoes. The ones she wore in the picture on the box were nicer. Those shoes don't seem match anything and they're ugly. 

She didn't come with a stand or purse. She came with a dumb hat that I threw away and an ugly, useless brush. The company was too cheap to supply a stand. 

I'm so happy I found a stunningly, beautiful doll of color (DOC). They're hard to find unless they're Barbies and I hate Barbies. Of the few I've seen in stores, most were just downright ugly. 

One company will make 6 white dolls and 2 dolls of color (if that). The white dolls will be cute. It looks like they don't even try with some of the DOCs. 

Here are my other Bratzilaz. 

Jade J'Adore, Illiana, Meygana. (I had to get Meygana out of bed for the photo shoot.) I cut all of Jade's ugly white hair off and replaced it with a dark wig. Illiana and Meygana get to keep their natural hair. 

Yasmina and Sashabella Paws with wigs and Liv bodies. 

Bratz Boutique Sasha with a Bratzillaz body and reprinted lips. (God, they were ugly.) Bratz Cats Megan and Sasha.

Cody Simpson and Making Waves 'Jake'

Today I found these Cody Simpson dolls at ToysRUs. The singing one cost $3 and the other one was $1. 

I have no idea who Cody Simpson is. I really don't care, either.  The back of the box says he's a teen heartthrob from Australia. He looks like a pimpled faced teen with bizarre hair. 

The dolls are made by the Wish Factory Ltd. and they're ugly with molded hair and thick, articulated limbs that barely move. 

For me this was an excellent find because I needed clothes for my Liv Making Waves 'Jake' doll. I paid $4 for him at ToysRUs. His outfits cost too much money on Amazon and eBay. I'm always looking for cheap alternatives. 

Here they are side by side. The Cody Simpson doll is just hideous. He has a GI Joe doll action grip to hold a microphone. Anyway, I like Jake much better. He has 14 points of articulation. 

Liv dolls were made by Spin Master but are now discontinued. Le Sigh. 

Here's Jake wearing Cody's clothes and shoes. He looks great. Now he has a guitar, 2 outfits, 2 pairs if shoes, a jacket and 2 microphones. The sunglasses wouldn't fit so a Littlest Petshop Blythe inherited them. A great deal for $4.

American Girl Outsider: Crafting Creatively: Get Your Knit Together

This is a very informative and helpful post on crocheting and knitting for dolls. I crocheted a few things for my dolls and they look hideous. Now I know why. I'd suggest that anyone new to knitting and crochet  for dolls read this before getting started.

She explains what to do and what not to do and shows you with pictures. Very helpful.
