Okoye (Out Of Sight Nadja)

Yes, I named her after Okoye, the Wakandan General in Black Panther.  How could I not?  I have her in this outfit, but she definitely needs a long red set of armor.  I'll have to look into that...

I've actually had her for a small bit before I uploaded this, but it took me a while to get pictures, and to find the time to upload.  I've been *way* too obsessed with playing Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia on my phone.  It's all I want to do.

Celeste (Sophistiquee Vanessa)

SUCCESS!

I was able to shovel off the porch and take some pics outside today!   It was a Christmas in March miracle!  This doll is *gorgeous* in person.  I feel like she was the sleeper hit of the La Femme collection.  Her original outfit didn't get her much love (though the pieces separately are amazing).  I think she's the best 3.0 Vanessa to date.

Maeve (Malefique Elyse)

Once again, I'm in a work/lack of photography purgatory with my dolls.  Every day I have off is too windy, or now too snowy.  We've hardly had any snow all winter, and now it's everywhere.  The other day I actually went outside to take a couple photos of two new dolls that are waiting to get their pics taken, but then I found a dead doe in one of the flower beds, so that stopped that in its tracks since we had to drag her out into the woods.  It feels like the universe is conspiring against me.

But, here's the Convention doll for now.  I honestly still don't know how I feel about her.  I'm not always a big fan of Elyse, and this screening isn't one of my preferred ones for her, but I do dig her whole look with the purple hair.

Maxine (Mad Love Rayna)

No, I'm not dead.  I've just been really busy with work.  It seems like every day I have a day off, the weather is awful so I haven't been paying much attention to my dolls lately.  I even have one I got in the mail from the lovely Dal that I haven't been able to take photos of AT ALL.  In a couple of weeks I'll have more time off during the week so I'm hoping the weather will cooperate and I can get a bunch of photo sessions in.  I live in a part of the world where if you don't like the weather in the front yard, look in the back yard.  Or wait 20 minutes because it will change.  And this time of year it mostly just changes from cold and windy to windy and not cold, or rainy and not windy, or windy AND rainy.  That's why I often take a whole whack of pictures at once, and save them so I can upload slowly.

... and my stores are starting to run low.  EEP.

Korinne (Jet Set Workshop Blonde)

This girl never had an official name, so I never know if I should call her Jet Set Convention Workshop Blonde or Vaughn Workshop Blonde or Jet Set Vaughn Workshop Blonde or any other combination of the three.  I fear that Korinne will never make a return to the world of Fashion Royalty.  She's a very interesting and different face mold, but is not really popular.  This year I think will be very interesting to see if we see a return of some of these lesser used face molds like Korinne, Kesenia, Anja, etc.  I really hope so, because as much as I like some of the molds that get used all the time, absence does make the heart grow fonder.  Or maybe that's why I want some of these lesser used molds - because they HAVEN'T been used a lot.

I should also take some pictures today since I actually have the day off and it's not snowing, but I'll probably do what I've been doing every day for the past week - playing Final Fantasy Opera Omnia on my cellphone.

Isha (Purple Pose Isha)

Will we see the return of Isha in 2018?  I really hope so because she's my fave character, and she's been missing for a while.  I love that they've been having Mademoiselle Jolie so that the sculpt is still making an appearance, but I'd love to see another Indian couture Isha.

Naomi (Glamazon Adele)

I finally was able to buy this year's WClub membership.  I had to wait until I got paid, rather than just buying right away like I normally do.  But, having to wait a few days made it harder for me to try and be strong and not order all three upgrade dolls.  I wound up just getting Rayna, which was my original plan.  I *have* to stop buying as many dolls each year.  Be selective!  I'm starting to run out of room!  And if I go to convention this year again, which I desperately hope to do, I know I'll be getting a bunch of dolls there....

Here's a doll from a couple of conventions ago.  I really loved the Supermodel collection, and wish I'd been able to go that year.  But at least I have this lovely lady (and a few other awesome dolls too)
