I'm glad you guys like PJ, she definitely holds a special place in my heart. <3 And of course my mom's dolls will all be featured here!
Okay...so...for the first time, I'm late. I don't mean 'oh it's past midnight' or 'I took the photo on time and posted it late', I mean I didn't take yesterday's photo until well into today. LOL.
I have horrible insomnia and night before last and the night before that I only slept about three hours, but yesterday I woke up after those few hours and suddenly wanted to spend the entire day going to various thrift stores. I spent about eight hours doing that, then got home and went to a friend's birthday dinner. I promptly fell asleep shortly after I got home. I thought about ADAD while in my bed, but I was so tired I physically could not find it in myself to get up to take a photo. So I took two today. Sometimes it happens, it's okay.

Here is my Pop figure of Chuckie from Rugrats! Chuckie was always my favorite, and Rugrats was my absolute favorite show as a child, and I still love it to this day. I really relate with Chuckie in that I am also super paranoid and scared of everything and nervous in every situation. LOL

Here is my Furga Vittoria doll!
She is a doll made by Italian company Furga in about 1969. She is in terrible shape. Her eyes are glazed and cloudy, her hair is frizzy, her body has a lot of age spots and stains, the tips of her fingers have had pieces come off, but I personally really love her this way. I have a soft spot for dolls that have clearly been well loved and are no longer in ideal condition. I love fixer-uppers. They are a passion of mine.
That being said, I probably would not have purchased her like this(maybe if I found her in real life for cheap). Several years ago a friend of my mom's found a shed with a bunch of old dolls and, while of course I accepted all of them with open arms, Vittoria always stood out to me. So she was the first I gave a nice bath and made an outfit for(she is a very weird size, so nothing I have for any of my dolls fits her). I think she's very pretty just the way she is.
She's got a soft stuffed vinyl body with wires in it, so while there are no joints you can pose her however you like. I'm sure her legs were also poseable, but mine no longer move and she is only able to stand upright, not bend her legs or even sit. At least she can be e
ressive with her hands!
Here is an old ad so you can see her in her heyday, with her friend Valentina. There are English ads as well, but I though this one showed the dolls best:
