Più le cose sono sono sporche e più danno soddisfazione.... :D

I definitely wanted to do some more coverage on this doll, so take this as a mini review slash makeover.
Overall I love this doll, but there are some glaring pitfalls that I'd like to address.
But I want to start positive. Her facial screening is incredible. Her make-up is stunning, from the silvery eyeshadow to her iridescent plum lipstick, even the subtle blush makes this doll's face the main attraction.
Her arm articulation is great, though her left arm poses much more fluidly than her right arm. If they did this with the 2015 Bratz...well, it still wouldn't have done much but it would have been superb.
She comes with some solid accessories - a black portfolio-style fabric bag which is probably the most purposeful doll bag I've seen in a long time. She has a dressform (which is molded like the old Bratz bodies) with measuring tape, a water bottle and a brush - the 2013 Bratz brushes are some of the best doll brushes in my opinion, so the more the merrier.
And the shoes...well, do they come in a size eight? I'll take one in every colour. They're great. Kind of sad we didn't get the socks that show up in her artwork (oh, and by the way, I kept the artwork from the front of the box because of course I did).
Now for some of the more...negative aspects of this doll.
Her hair is incredibly thick which is not a bad thing, but the fiber is quite coarse. I'd compare it to the hair that the first Descendants Evie had, only Sasha's hair lays a little more flat. The blonde streaks do her no favours, and her hairstyle would have been much nicer if it had matched the prototype: tothemotherhood.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/bratz-my-p...
I was disappointed when I saw her painted leggings, but I don't know what makes her legs so sticky...maybe it's the paint, maybe it's the rubber, but either way her legs almost feel...melty. It's also very hard to take off her skirt because of how sticky her legs are in contrast to the satin skirt, which doesn't help matters.
Speaking of the outfit, I find it awfully strange. Sasha is supposed to be a fashion designer, right? Then why is she wearing...this? The skirt is passable, nice even, but the top...what logic was behind this? The gigantic Peter Pan collar, the polka dots, the use of three obviously clashing colours...I'm gonna need an explanation and a drink. Whoever designed this top clearly has no grasp of colour theory - green and yellow just gives off sports team or Subway, no alternative; yellow and purple could have worked but the polka dots make it far too camp; and purple and green...it isn't Halloween until the 31st, guys. The construction of the top isn't even bad (the velcro sleeves are incredibly considerate and a good move) but they should have reduced the colour selection, made the polka dots as minimal as possible or just got rid of them, and make the damn collar smaller.
Next, I'll go into some of the changes I made towards her. I took out the awkward disco hoop earrings and the completely inappropriate hairband, which wrecked the hairstyle (didn't like it anyway, so two birds killed with one stone, right?). I then styled the hair to cover up the blonde streaks and make her look more professional. I've been using hair bobbles to tame the hair (can you tell by the picture?) and I think she looks much better, but she still needs a new shirt.
I still love this doll though - her hair is coarse but bearable, and her facial screening is the saviour of this doll. And something I didn't mention is that she fits the extra fashions I got from my new Barbie Fashionista. Hopefully I can get her something nice to wear.

What we get to do everyday is pretty special and we love to share it with our fans. From the moment the empty shell arrives at our doorstep to the moment the stunning end result rolls off the production line, the journey is an amazing process and we're excited to take you along for the ride. Larry and Terri are always on the go. From their homebase in Maryland to their beautiful lot at Bluewater Key, they're on the move.
We're going to keep in touch and keep you in touch over the next few months as we put together their new "Home away from Home." From designing the paint and graphics and selecting the fabrics and finishes right up until the final unveiling. Be sure to check back often, this is one ride you don't want to miss!
This story really starts several years ago when Larry and Terri bought their first Millennium at the Tampa Super Show. It was love at first sight. They fell in love with the coach and we fell in love with them! They're two of the nicest people you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting and we've really enjoyed getting to know them during the last few years. So you can well imagine how excited we were when they decided to custom build a new Millennium!

Finally managed to find some bits of rear door trim I was missing from a Carlton saloon in SCB Newbridge. Still got a few little bits and pieces to get to make it 100% but I'm very pleased with the difference a couple of bits of trim make...

"After these explorers for Atlantis finally found Atlantis, they saw a magnificent portal. The explorers all went through the portal and found themselves in the middle of World War II.
"Get back in the water was then screamed over their communications systems."
