This clone majorette doll is a bit of a mystery.
Though tall like a Barbie, she has a flat chest and a face rather like Skipper's, and she has flat feet. Her body is unmarked, but the back of her head is marked "A.E. 1964"
The mark "A.E." was used by a lot of companies. Prominently Allied Eastern and Allied Grand, as well as some other companies. Also, Canadian-produced Tammy Type dolls used this mark, and her face does resemble some of the Tammy family dolls. I thought maybe her outfit was mom-made, but I think its factory produced. Her boots are marked "Hong Kong." Her face and arms are soft vinyl, and her body and legs are cheap hollow hard plastic.
She seems like she once had hair (there are some blonde bits left) but it appears to have been shorn to accommodate her majorette hat.
If I had to guess, I would say some parts left over from the production of some other doll were purchased by some factory, who dressed her in the majorette costume and sold her that way. That's purely speculation, however.
I bought her at an antique mall for a couple of dollars.
So for the clone week in my 365 project i decided to add a little extra. I'll be uploading some cloning stuff i did back in September. That was THE most productive clone session i've ever made, with Paco's help, managed to take 8 different clone situations.
Now with Paco and his brother as models. His brother rules, because he was doing homework and when we told him what we were doing, he stopped working and joined us in the session.
Muslim Barbie clone, black version, part of a set of Beautiful Girl dolls (two in the box for RO 1.500). Omani ladies wear a similar costume of a full length black robe called an abaya, sometimes open in the front, with a matching black head covering.
She comes wearing a black flannel headscarf with gold trim and a black flannel gown with gold and maroon trim at the neck and wrists. The gown is in a conservative Muslim style with elbows and knees covered (Oman is fine if non-Muslim women just cover shoulders and knees).
Strangely enough, the Beautiful Girl doll has blue eyes and pale orange hair rather than dark eyes and hair like the majority of Middle Eastern women. I don't think it was because she's made in China.
Even more strangely, almost all the dolls on sale at Lulu (the place with the largest doll section I've seen outside of Toys R Us) wear Western clothing. There were two aisles of them, and only one doll out of the whole lot - not even the Fulla dolls, the most popular Muslim Barbie clone - wore anything that looked like Muslim garb. Most of these dolls were blonde and light-eyed as well.
I'm not surprised they don't sell Barbie clones that look Middle Eastern. It was difficult enough looking for Barbie dolls which look Asian.
I didn't get these dolls at Lulu. They were at a small neighbourhood supermarket which also sold what I think was a fake Fulla in Muslim clothing (it was too cheap). That doll was also light-haired and eyed.
What the what ?
1st attempt at photoshop layering.
Critique welcome.
By the way - I am so not checking out my own arse.
First thing first: This is not my idea. Immediately when I saw the latest mini fig from @AndrewVxtc I knew I had to make one of my own. I had the AndrewVxtc decals already in store and the old CAC Colt helmet lying around. I was never really happy with the visor on that one. CAC has definitely got it right on his new helmet printings, so no beef there :-D So I grinded the old visor down and applied the AndrewVxtc visor. The kama and pauldron are my own design. My Colt fig does not look as good as Andrew's, but I am very happy with it.
Hope you like it too.
Cloning is a Photoshop technique consisting of multiple images (of the same person) formatted together to create one whole photograph. This is definitely a time-consumer but the results are amazing!
(My image obviously was not taken it the best of lighting, since it is horribly grainy. But nonetheless, it gets the message across.)

The historic town of Clones developed around a monastery founded by St. Tighernach in the 6th century. His remains are said to rest in the Shrine of St. Tighernach, which is carved in the shape of a house from a single stone. There are several interesting archaeological sites in the town which bear testament to its ecclesiastical past.
A High Cross situated on the diamond (centre of town), belongs to the Ulster group of scripture crosses, and dates from the 9th or 10th century. The panels on the front and back illustrate scenes from the Scriptures and the New Testament.
Clones round tower is situated in the graveyard and was built in the 10th century. The tower was originally much higher but the conical cap and top storey collapsed some time between 1591 and 1739.
St. Peter and Paul's Abbey, known locally as the 'wee Abbey', is located nearby and dates from the 12th century. The church is Romanesque in style and is evidence of the Roman church in Clones. The Protestant Reformation led to the suppression of the monasteries in the 16th century and the monastic settlement at Clones was destroyed.
Please meet my first Clone CCE Doll.
Lime A. Clone lived with two drag queens named Ivana Tinkle and Venetia Blind, hence her name, and lived a life of dragalicious glamour, many sleepless nights, a ton of sequins, and Cher music galore.
She took her chances and moved in with me......next door (lol) as Ivana Tinkle is on the run for forgery and Venetia Blind got a gig on a gay cruise ship that seats 4 people. She's also the captain and hostess of the boat.
I missed you all so much! I actually love this dolly and feel that the time would come where Blythe would have fellow clone dolls.....just look at how many Barbie clone dolls came out in the 60's and 70's and look how many are still coming out!
She came in her box literally mooning me. Her butt was facing the cello and I originally was going to keep her in the box but it was so easy to save the box and take her out. Her head turns and eyes work perfectly and she has real funky dull neon pink eyechippies that I love. Only one smudge on her left cheek and uneven bangs but all in all a real sweet and fun doll.
She was so happy to play and get out of her hooker dress (you know the queens had her ready for the streets...hehehe) and wear some chic fashion from *Jaszmade. This is the IT Suit and IT is frigging fantastic!

Hasbro Star Wars "Clones" from the First Wave of Mission Series & Legends
These are truly clones from the same mold, only the Episode 2 clone is different with a different bucket.
Science is progress.
The morphing projects of Micha Klein show that if you keep on blending 'beautiful' people, you end up with people without flaws and without personality. Plastic people.
This image belongs to a tryptich which also consists of clone army and Someday supercomputers will decipher how genes work
The second of a load of star wars stencils we will be cutting as part of a commission we have recently been asked to do on a kid's bedroom wall (the first one can be seen here - www.flickr.com/photos/id-iom/4976133691/) There isn't all that much creativity involved but it’s still good to do as there is so much iconic imagery to use. We’ll mainly be using the characters from the animated/comic Clone Wars series that were originally designed by Genndy Tartakovsky (who also designed Samurai Jack and Dexter’s Laboratory)
Cheers

Finally, my very first try at clone shots. It's not really as good as I hoped, had a couple of issues with this one:
1. A lot of the versions of me just couldn't fit in the shot, they looked a bit like cardboard cutouts amongst the ones that fitted better. Shame, I wished that there was a little more of me, I had so many ideas. Oh well, maybe next time...
2. That sofa: probably the hardest thing to get around, my weight (Which isn't much, I assure you.) kept making the edges rise up (It's a sofa bed, so the mattress is separate, that's why). Had a challenge trying to fix that problem.
3. Lighting issues: Never a good idea to suddenly take a 45 minute "Break" in the middle of it all. That's why the version of me in the right is a little grainy, I did my best trying to restore the colours...
4. Hair: Looking back on it now, actually, the hardest part of it all was trying to clean up all of the edges where detail mattered most. Not planning on a haircut anytime soon though...
Well, it was worth at least having a go at it, I guess...
29th September 2021, Finally got a letter from Manchester City Council stating they will not take any further action in this case. The date this all started was 22/06/2021 time 21:20. Feels like the Sword of Damocles has been put to rest.
In a letter dated 29/06/2021 we from the Greater Manchester Police saying... "Notice of intended prosecution..."
They say an alleged offence of excess speed (40 MPH) at A34 Kingsway, Northbank Gardens, Manchester on 25.06/2021 at 00:43 hours.
We visited the Merseyside Police station in Birkenhead and showed them the letter from GMP and our reply, the comment made by Merseyside Police "you have given them more information than they asked for". Our reply was sent via recorded delivery, The Police (GMP) did NOT even acknowledge our letter in any shape or form.
A letter from Manchester City Council for an alleged offence dated 22/06/2021 arrived at our house for parking in a "designated disabled persons parking place without clearly displaying a valid disabled persons badge". We sent a reply and this was NO reply was received. On the 4th September 2021 we got another threatening letter from Manchester City Council this is even after we sent them a letter explaining that we where not even there. We found a photograph of the car that cloned ours on the council's website and you can tell our registration plates show the word "Stoneacre" on the plate and there's does NOT.
Greater Manchester Police sent another letter dated 11/08/2021 headed "Final Request For Driver Information". This was taken to the Birkenhead Police station and stamped and given a case number.
Other methods have been used to contact the GMP but to no avail.
We decided to change our registration on our car. This was £250 to buy the registration number you can purchase this online. They sent via Royal Mail, you then have to go online, when that is done you obtain a printout and take to an approved agent in our case Halfords you have three days to do this. Halfords sell you registration plates and make them for you there and then. The total amount you pay is less than £50.00 that includes the fixing them to your car back and front, in our case this too just under an hour. You really must tell your insurance company what you have done, there was no cost when we done it, we done it online!
My wife had a mild heart attack and was kept in hospital for a week and came away with a large supply of medication she with have to take forever. Now I am not saying that GMP caused this but I genuinely believe they are partly responsible for it.
They number plates you see in the photograph are the one's we had on our car at the time of the two incidents.
The cost of the of all this was high in pounds and pence but even higher in the stress and suffering caused.
We live in Merseyside the alleged offences where committed in Greater Manchester.
All of the facts are true and really happened and I feel sure that it not totally over yet, sorry to say.
UPDATE: 31st Aug 2021... email from GMP "no further action".
I tried this site, no sure how often it updates but worth a look... www.freecarcheck.co.uk/guides/how-to-spot-a-cloned-car/

Built upon an earlier monastic site founded by St. Aedan (aka Mogue), the present ruins of the Romanesque parish church of Clone consist of a western gable and part of the south wall to roof level. Above the western doorway are several projecting head carvings.
Omaigawsh I posted again :3
So, I was playing around with some of Communist Gentleman's faction standards, and I decided to try to give it a little more swag. The third figure from the right was the original figure. I liked how it looked and used scout trooper armor for two more. While they share no weapons or headgear, they do look like a group in my opinion. I had a couple more torsos lying around and made the Crimson Diablos, a private army. Lastly, I took some western-y parts and made a rancher clone.
It was kind of refreshing to bust out the white armor I had spent so many years collecting. Sadly, many classic Episode 3 Torsos I had in my possession were lost to my sharpie phase after seeing David Hall's work for Clone Army Customs.
Finally, Zachary needs to update his Khazadian Marines :3
