I adore her dress!!!

Haha, I have to confess to never reading and/or watching anything Holmes and Pokémon related, so I just picked the two phrases that were so notorious even I have heard of them and smashed them together

The origin of the "elementary" phrase is interesting. Wodehouse, not Doyle, eh?
The abundant blue eyeshadow of your girl, there, is both eerie and strangely alluring.

It's a pretty awesome cyber-goth look they've given her. And well, they're both very good phrase to use! I just found it a fun bit of trivia ><

According to research, yeah. I mostly know Wodehouse as the author of the Jeeves and Wooster stories, so it was a bit surprisingly to see that.
It's a bit like she's tried to create a face mask for herself only using eyeshadow.

129. Red Riding Storm
![[Image: 49055078_2567d731eba7366cf91501d60c8a6b43_standard.jpg]](http://www.23hq.com/23666/49055078_2567d731eba7366cf91501d60c8a6b43_standard.jpg)
From what I can tell, Storm is the only recurring character in the BeGoths line, and seems to be some sort of figurehead for the line. Even though her nose ring is misplaced, there's something sweet in her face that makes me glad to have her. She was another one who came new in box but with very yellowed plastic. I'd like to know what made the plastic so yellow. Next to Gloria, her outfit is probably the second simplest - excluding tights. I've seen versions whose hair is far more red than my Red is, so I think there is some different dye jobs out there. I'd like to try to find pictures of all of them. Red tends to be the Room's resident demonologist and folklore ex.pert.

Creepy cool take on the Red Riding Hood theme!
I did not know you had so many BeGoths! These are wicked awesome!
RE: Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019! - neon_jellyfish - 05-10-2019
Gothy redhead
I'd love to see Big Bad Wolf's reaction if he met this girl, assuming she's the Little Red Riding Hood. Either he'd try to eat her and get his arse kicked, or he'd try to ask her out on a date and get his arse kicked...
RE: Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019! - Lejays17 - 05-10-2019
Angelina,s eye makeup is very striking, being both above & below the eyes like that.
Pikachu looks extremely cuddly there, and that’s really nice if your dad to get it for you.

Haha, I totally agree she’s gonna kick his arse regardless of what he does
RE: Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019! - Alliecat - 05-10-2019
I've never seen any of these dolls. You have quite a diverse collection.
Maybe the yellowing is just ex-posure to light on the particular type of plastic? Who knows what types of plastic so many different dolls are made of, but UV does discolour it.
I think Neon probably summarized things well

And there's a few more to come! BeGoths have been an on-off thing since I started collecting in 2010, so I've managed to get hold of a few through sheer luck more than anything

Either way, he's getting his arsed kicked
I don't think I even have anyone that could stand in from the Big Bad Wolf... Gaston, maybe?(05-10-2019, 07:35 AM)Lejays17 Wrote: Angelina,s eye makeup is very striking, being both above & below the eyes like that.

It is a very striking look, I have to agree. And yeah, he does nice things like that occasionally.

I've managed to find mine largely through eBay, I'm not actually sure where they sold when they were originally for sale. And hmmm, that's the most likely answer.

130. Leda Swanson

Oh Leda. Another eBay find (actually only Malice, Gloria, and Olivia weren't eBay finds) Leda was in need of some serious TLC when she came to me. As you can see, I haven't managed to do much - her arms are still horribly stained, and the ribbons in her hair are in need of ... well, probably replacing if I'm honest about it. I did manage to clean up her dress, which I am proud of, and she doesn't smell as musty anymore. I'm happy I found her, and it was an interesting little research trip into what to use to clean dolls, but it did teach me to be a little more critical of photos in auctions.
RE: Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019! - davidd - 05-11-2019
I love Leda's gown: elegant, funereal, and of course a little bit sexy, as befitting the BeGoth line.
The swan design on her face is interesting; appropriate for a character named Leda, of course.
The twin ponytails hair style adds a dash of youthful flirtatiousness to her otherwise more mature attire.
This one is quite a prize. I am happy you were able to rescue her.
RE: Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019! - neon_jellyfish - 05-11-2019
Aaaaah! I wrote a comment yesterday, but I probably accidentally 'previewed' it instead of posting it... Basically I was swooning over how adorable she is!

I still really do need to replace her hair ribbons, they look a bit tatty in comparison with her gown, which is really due another clean soon. BJD laundry day is soon too... Hm...
Leda is one of the older ones of my group, at least according to my headcanons for them. She's a teacher of Classics, and claims to have had a fling with Zeus.

Ah, I hate when I do that! Thank you for re-commenting though!

131. Lolita Sun

Apparently she was an exclusive of some kind? I don't really know much about that; my knowledge of the company and the line is actually pretty thin on the ground and trying to find informative sites can be a bit of a struggle; but I managed to find her for a ridiculously good price compared to what I see her frequently go for. I really like the bright pink of her hair, and the carefully painted left eye. Though, from a distance, it does look like she's horribly bloodshot and probably needs to see a doctor. Also I'm not so sure about naming a doll 'Lolita'. I mean, the novel is a bit... skeevy, for want of a better word. (And yes, I know it's a fashion style too. I have some fondness for the main style, and the variations thereof, I just... skeevy novel. I would also like to state that while having some fondness for the variations of the fashion styles, I would prefer they did not have a connotation with the novel in their naming.)
RE: Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019! - neon_jellyfish - 05-12-2019
So pretty! And what a mischievous face she has! Also, her outfit is something I'd love to wear myself.
I get what you mean with Lolita. Things like that make me feel icky, and while I love that family of fashion styles, I'd prefer if it chose a different name for itself, too.
RE: Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019! - davidd - 05-12-2019
More stripey socks!
Her outfit looks more like that of an old fashioned schoolteacher than of a flirtatious teen temptress.
RE: Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019! - fishy - 05-12-2019
I call the style EGL (an acronym for "Elegant Gothic Lolita") when possible, because I hate the name.
(It once got my doll site flagged for auto takedown as it's one of hyperphps forbidden words... That war an awkward conversation with tech support!)
