Welcome aboard Victoria! (more pix June 6)

[Alliecat]

I've been foiled for days trying to get decent light for a photoshoot with Victoria. It was sunny when I got up today and I thought "Oh boy!" but by the time I got out, it had clouded over, and just as I packed up, it started raining, again. Anyway, here she is; thanks to fishy for the sample-sale tip. When she arrived, she had one ankle crossed over the other leg in the box -- I thought that was so cute, and said 'attitude' that would fit right in
(Does blue Veritas have a colour streak in her hair? I've never seen one in pix of her. This one has a white streak on the left side.)
I thought "Victoria" sounded suitably regal. This is one gorgeous doll... ...








"...now, where shall I go...?"



Course plotted; dreaming of her destination.






Then, we went to the beach. All those rocks to potentially faceplant on are scary on a breezy day!















Waiting for her ship to come in.




Thanks for looking!

gorgeous. It's like she was made to slip into your family & photo shoots. I love every pic but the last one tugs at my heart, she looks so earnest.

I don't generally like blondes, original Veritas is much more in my lane for all colouring but this girl has something special. When she was released I fell for her and I have never been interested in the original one little bit.

Great photos! And omigosh, is she adorable or what?! Now I want her, and also the beach!

Oh my gosh! She is stunning! Absolutely stunning!

Although I suspect a large part of her appeal has to do with your appropriately composed photographs! I love the photos with the maps and charts! And you actually got her to stand up outside on the rocks in the breeze while wearing that massive costume, and even her hat! You gots skillz!

Such a pretty lady! I like that white streak in her hair!

[fishy]

She looks wonderful!

Wow, she's gorgeous! Love the pictures on the rocks especially.

[Cornflower Blue]

Wonderful photos! You have her in the perfect setting with the rocks and the waves in the background.

I have original Veritas and I don't think she had a streak in her hair, just lots of bushy hair. She's been rewigged for so long since it was too overwhelming.

Thank you, everybody! I'm still occasionally carrying her around the house... she's currently sitting on my cluttered kitchen table for a late supper.

gorgeous. It's like she was made to slip into your family & photo shoots. I love every pic but the last one tugs at my heart, she looks so earnest.

Heh -- that was a last-thought photo as I was packing up and the light had crapped out; just kind of held her up in front of the camera and zoomed her in and out till the focus thingie beeped. I didn't eect it would be that good
I was somewhat smitten with the 'limited' one when she came out but I think this version really is the nicest!

Thank you! Well, you can get one of them online...

Tee hee... I used a stick, and for the ones up on the rocks, her stand is hidden under some rocks. Her hat did blow off a few times. There's a bobby pin attached to it; I'm not sure what use it's supposed to be for actually holding the hat on.
The chart is a souvenir of the voyage of the green dots that you can just barely see in some of the photos. The captain who gave me it as well as the lens I shoot most of the doll pix with was lost at sea in 2012. I'm sure he'd be greatly amused to see his gifts being enjoyed.

Beautiful! Original Veritas is one of my favorite Pullips. I feel like I may need this one too....

[DeadlyNova]

She's beautiful!

[MapleLeaf]

Congratulations! She looks gorgeous in your photos and the name Victoria suits her perfectly.
Her red and gold theme is lovely! Enjoy!

[Alliecat]

Thank you all
True, yes, perhaps you do...

She is absolutely gorgeous, also a flawless addition to your doll family. I hope she finds a proper ship soon she is a very fancy dresser! What a great deal you got ! Fishy is always looking out for her fellow dolly friends

I love her - the red outfit is just beautiful, and she's going to fit in wonderfully with the rest of your crew
