DeadlyNova's A Doll A Day 2018

[DeadlyNova]

I'm glad you all agree that the pop doesn't look like Jughead, haha. I had to have him anyway. Still cute. I can kind of see Cole Sprouse in his tiny black eyes. No?

It's not really a guilty pleasure, I don't feel guilty over anything I like either. I'm just not sure how to say what I mean I guess.

Thanks for the link, Miss Edith! I like this one so much more and he looks so much more like him!!!!

I'm definitely leaving Britney in her package, she's one I have no benefit in removing.

And yes, Murdoc is only in his underwear. xD

Day 51:

Ideal Velvet from 1970

I'm sure a lot of people are familiar with Crissy and friends, the line of Ideal dolls with 'growing hair' from the 70's. Velvet is Crissy's cousin, and I've always been a much bigger fan of her than Crissy herself. She was one of the first vintage dolls I bought online. Her hair is a mess, and I've had her in a wig for years, but I figured that since I finally acquired Crissy from a flea market recently I'd try to fix Velvet's actual hair into something resembling a style so I could display them together. These dolls hair can age well from what I've seen, but I think a lot of the time it was just bad to begin with. Velvet's isn't nearly as bad as my Crissy's, her hair is two completely different textures. The majority of her hair is short and curly and the 'growing' part that you pull is long and straight. Not a good look.
Here's Velvet's commercial, because that's always fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_b1d3DnBuE
