Photodump comin'...

While the wind is howling with the edge of the hurricane that is heading up the east coast (not coming right over us), I'm sorting photos. Maybe won't get any more outdoor ones for a couple of days, so here are the first pix of the new girl!

Introducing... Catalina.
I never claim to be original with doll names. I wonder how many Catwoman dolls have names with "Cat" in them. Well, anyway, I thought it would suit her and when she arrived we discussed it LOL

She agreed to the fancy name if she could also have "Kitty" for a nickname. (And I already have a Catherine.) I've never changed anybody's name after they got it, so this will probably be it...

I saw a re-wigged one at PUDDLE 2018 and she'd been on my wish list since, but I really never ex-pected to find her at a price I was willing to pay! Then, there she was, wow, but the seller didn't want to ship to Canada. So I ended up splitting with someone in the States who wanted the other doll of the pair. She was NIB but the split partner took the time to debox her so she could travel a little cheaper, and even undressed her to fit in the smaller box because she doesn't bend in her stock outfit!

I've never seen a Batman movie in my life -- just no interest. When I bought her I thought I ought to maybe learn something about the character. But several paragraphs into the long Wikipedia page, I bogged down completely & realized I just don't care LOL

She is my first mocha girl, and her looks are unique. This is one gorgeous doll. Her outfit though, is one of the things that makes me SMH about Groove's choice of materials & QC. The belt loops came loose right out of the box, there's a little split in a knee seam after only a few bends, and the whole thing is so thin and cheap-feeling that I don't think it will last long. Too bad, cos she does look nice in it.
