baldylox Posted May 26, 2017 Yep, you read that right.... I've adopted another girl! Oddly enuff, I didn't *really* adopt her. She was a bonus added to a lot I bought off Facebook that had a bunch of random parts and a parts body. The previous owner said this head had basically been sitting in a drawer for a long time and it was time she moved on to another person who could give her some attention. Needless to say I was happy to get her and see who she would become. I had no plans at all for her, not even an idea for what body she would work on. But once she arrived and I saw her face up close, I knew I had to put her on a body that none of my other 03 girls had.... a DD2 M-bust. Once her body was figured out, it was on to the eyes and wig. The eyes took me a little bit of time but once I put the ones she has now in her head, it was a cinch. Same with the wig.... I tried maybe 10 different ones on her and only two of them stuck out to me. I tried them both out and then decided on this long one she has now. So with all that out of the way, it's time to introduce her! Say hello to Ami! DSC_0613 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr It seems Ami likes flowers.

DSC_0617 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Here's a funny fact. I spent at least 45 minutes trying out eyes on Ami and I never even saw the little heart on her left cheek until my GF pointed it out. It's hard to see but it's an adorable touch that I love. DSC_0619 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr "Time for hide and seek!" DSC_0620 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr DSC_0621 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr DSC_0623 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr I'm usually not big on open mouths for DD girls but Ami has a very slight smile that shows a little teeth. It's very well done and not overboard at all. I really like it! DSC_0624 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Her eyes sparkle too. I can't recall where I got them but I love them for her.

Daisy-chan Posted May 26, 2017 Oh wow, she is just gorgeous! Those eyes make her look like such a sweet girl. How many girls do you have now? 46? I'm willing to bet you'll make it to 50 before the end of next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poofiemus Posted May 26, 2017 Good god, man, you're like. . . some kind of magnet for rescue girls. You just go shopping and then they get stuck to you. Ami is really lovely! I think the eyes do at least resemble WDS's eyes, so maybe that's what they are? Great overall look for her though. In this household, sanity is considered a tresspasser.

baldylox Posted May 26, 2017 Oh wow, she is just gorgeous! Those eyes make her look like such a sweet girl. Thank you very much! I like these eyes too.... it took some figuring out but I think these will stay. How many girls do you have now? 46? I'm willing to bet you'll make it to 50 before the end of next year. That is correct! Ami makes 46. And you are probably right..... but I'd say it's more like THIS year than next. Good god, man, you're like. . . some kind of magnet for rescue girls. You just go shopping and then they get stuck to you. I know right? I *am* all about the rescue girls so this fits right in to my M.O. Ami is really lovely! I think the eyes do at least resemble WDS's eyes, so maybe that's what they are? Great overall look for her though. Thanks so much! I don't own any WDS eyes so I'm not familiar with them. But I'll take your word for it! Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anna-neko Posted May 26, 2017 How many girls do you have now? 46? I'm willing to bet you'll make it to 50 before the end of next year. I'm almost convinced he'd have 50 by the time I finish typing the reply.... but wow, her face is so sweet! How could such a lovely head just be stuck in a drawer??

sinclair Posted May 26, 2017 I'm so jealous. I wish girls would fall into my arms too. I have a body coming that'll need a head. But you are right about her mouth. I normally don't like open mouths, but there is something about her that you can't help but like. And I have to say I love her outfit. I want to get denim overalls (As skirt, shorts and long pants.) for my girls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted May 26, 2017 I'm almost convinced he'd have 50 by the time I finish typing the reply.... Ha ha ha! I'm bad but not THAT bad! but wow, her face is so sweet! How could such a lovely head just be stuck in a drawer?? Thanks! I totally agree with you, I sure couldn't have done that. But hey, things happen and not everyone can assemble complete dolls quickly. I don't knock the previous owner tho, things happen and other stuff takes priority. I'm so jealous. I wish girls would fall into my arms too. I have a body coming that'll need a head. Heh, don't be. Getting free heads isn't cheap.... I had to get a body for it! Luckily I had a repaired parts body here so I was able to keep costs down due to that. But you are right about her mouth. I normally don't like open mouths, but there is something about her that you can't help but like. Yup! It's done so well and just right. And I have to say I love her outfit. I want to get denim overalls (As skirt, shorts and long pants.) for my girls. Thanks so much! The shirt is from a Volks set but you can get very similar overalls from my buddy Drew here: http://www.dolldelights.com/store/#!/Overall-Jean-Shorts/p/83245213/category=22977103 And jean shorts: http://www.dolldelights.com/store/#!/Jean-Shorts/p/83245212/category=22977103 I own both of those and they fit so nicely and look great on all sorts of DD bodies. He's also working on long jeans in several colors as well as some faux leather ones. Keep checking his site for new stuff, he gets things in almost weekly!
