TWO new girls (my firsts) !

[Alliecat]

I totally ignored this doll any time I passed her on whatever website. All the fault of the goofy outfit (OK, I'm sorry; I just insulted centuries of culture...). Then she appeared for relatively cheap, I got curious & looked up owner photos, & knew she was to be my first 'big' Pullip. (My friends who brought her over from the States opened the box & must've thought I'd gone loopy... )


Out of the box!

It took three sizes of scissors, two sizes of tweezers and an HOUR to get all her very tight bits & pieces off, nearly wrecked her little shoes, then cut off all the plastic. Holy cow.


Almost there!
"Get this stuff off me!"

Here she is...



While it was soon apparent that fancy gowns are probably not going to be her thing...



She does, in fact, do 'cute'.




My favourite shot of her so far. Too bad I cut off her feet.


Look how cute she is once her hair is out of her face.
Her wig is a disaster. This attempt to improve it a bit with a curler & some pins was a complete fail.

I can't help wondering what the real Date Masamune would have thought if someone told him that 400 years in the future people would make an anime character of him ("a what?") and then a doll. A GIRL doll. ("a WHAT????!!")
(Really. Look him up.)
History can get pretty skewed.


Next day, Peter Pan arrived.


We've all seen the stock photos... nothing new here... but she's mine

She was more interested in fluffy gowns




The photo shoot was interrupted.


They made friends.




She does 'cute' very well.


Getting acquainted.


I think they'll be friends

Both of them need names. PP may end up as "Petra" if nothing more original comes to mind. At least something with a "P". Date... I want something 'just right' for her. May take a while.
