Tag Game: Favorite 2013 Dolls and Gossip Photoshoot
I think it is pretty safe to say these are my favorite 2013 dolls I have purchased. I doubled this photo as the favorite 2013 dolls tag game (late) and my promotional photo-shoot for Gossip. I am going to use them in my mini series I will be doing soon. It will put my series "The Young and the Plastic" on the backburner for now but I just cannot help it, I love these dolls! Oh, also the crew is wearing black and silver because they were all headed to a new years party that had a silver/black dresscode. I just love those colors together!
Starting L-R on the top row:
Ayla Brown: (Birthstone Beauty Topaz) I was lucky enough to find this girl at a thrift store for $2.50 in her original dress. I think she is adorable! I especially love her now that I gave her a hair treatment.
JLaw: (Katniss Everdeen;Catching Fire) She and Finnick came together a few days ago. I love her looks especially now that she is on a pivotal body, she looks very high fashion to me. I think she is going to become one of my favorite characters soon.
Sam "Finnick": (Finnick: Catching Fire) This guy is just so handsome. I do not see a huge resemblance to Samuel Claflin the actor who portrays Finnick but there are some close facial similarities. He most definitely looks like a sculpted male model so he will be fun to work with.
Jourdan Dunn: ( 2013 AA Holiday Barbie) Well this is my first Pazette mold and she is perfect. I love her eyes, her hair, her cheekbones. She is a dream to photograph! She was one of my dream dolls and I was lucky enough to locate her in my area after searching several stores. It is hard to keep the African American dolls in stock in my area so I really get excited they are available!
Lindsay Ellington: (The Barbie Look: City Shopper Lara) Ok, so this lady was another one of my 2013 dream dolls! Lara sculpts are gorgeous in my opinion and this one was exactly what wanted. I had to buy her online because our stores within a fifty mile radius only had the Steffie from the first collection. I immediately knew she was going to be my Citrus Obsession Lara's (Viveca Ellington) sister so Lindsays name is kind of a play on words. She reminds me of the model Lindsay Ellingson so she was named Lindsay but Viveca's last name was already Ellington so I simply switched the S to a T so she fit in nicely.
Erin: (2013 Holiday Barbie) I scored majorly again at a thrift store finding this girl in her original gown for $2.50. I get very excited finding any model muse dolls in these stores. I thought she was cute and had potential when I bought her but it wasn't until recently that I fell in love with her. I switched her to a basic model muse body, restyled her hair, and switched up her wardrobe and now I can't photograph her enough lol.
Front Row:
Kingston: (Peeta Mellark : Catching Fire) I knew this guy had to be the first Catching Fire doll I purchased. I love that he doesn't always look like Josh Hutcherson (don't get me wrong, I think he is attractive and all) because it gives me a window for a whole new personality and storyline for him. Certain ways you style this guy he really looks like Josh, other times he only faintly resembles the actor he portrays.
Play along if you wish! Just photograph your fave 2013 dolls!
