Pick a pattern - any pattern
Doll discussions are never stagnant. One can start with a size or comparison comment - Asian versus American BJDs and end up choosing a fave pattern at the insistance of a friend who is a fashion creator (versus non-crafting consumer only - such as I - YIKES)
Here was my pattern pick

ABC - the mermaid wig update
Couldn't wait any longer to share a photo of the amazing wig made for ABC Grayleah by doll artisan Linda Dryer at http://www.dudsfordolls.com
I wanted the look to be unique in a goth Gaga sort of way - a white wig with black and white side ponytails was the perfect end result. I am tickled black and white!!! Thank you sooooooooooooo much, Linda.

Fun Vote in sugarbabylove - what?
The real deal - the order arrived April 2011!
The doll is a Momoko whose picture I first saw on the board of Kawaii Korner. I had seen the Momoko snow white and was delighted with her raven hair and red lips but this gal named Fun Vote is uber goth.
Finding clothes for her ( She can only wear black and white with a splash of color now and then. How do I know this? If you need to ask you are most certainly not a doll collector.) will be difficult and expensive if I stick to my goth theme intentions.
Her first ensemble has been purchased from Etsyian sukra at sugarbabylove:
Since Momoko can also wear most Barbie fashions, a second outfit is arriving shortly: Twilight Jane - whom I found for a very fair price with free shipping on Amazon.
Back to my ABCs - the mermaid's wig
As I've stated many times before, I do appreciate creativity but I can not create: no sewing, no knitting, no felting, no crocheting, no needlepoint. You get the picture.
Wait - I did study classical piano for twelve years, but since I haven't touched a piano in thirty plus more - that spell of creativity doesn't count. And it wasn't exactly crafting in any way.
So here's the story. For the summer I want Grayleah (my gray ABCer from Goodreau) to be a mermaid - besparkled in a silver suit sold on the Goodreau site at goodreaudollstore.com
Acquiring a suit was no problem although since Paulette has had an extreme volume of orders - her Mystery Pack sale was too great for even non doll people to pass up - it might not arrive for another two weeks. But then - summer won't have arrived and we might have more snow on the ground if the weathermen predict correctly.
I wanted the perfect fur wig for the outfit. A little goth with a touch of Gaga. White with black or gray streaks in it. (that would be frosted) Resembling this offering from DDE:

Now Grayleah has a large, oddly rounded head - size 10 special made size. Finding such a wig from normal sources seemed impossible. HOWEVER - a very lovely, creative artisan came to my rescue - and the wig story will be continued in another post!
Decisions Decisions 4/16/2011 update -purchased a wig intended to be used with the Mermaid - however - when the meraid outfit arrived Paulette included a fuschia streaked wig that worked so well with the outfit that I decided to keep them together.

My Deliah Noir makes the DN homepage March 2011
This doll can transform from goth to girly in no time. Delighted to find my Deliah on the homepage of the DN Yahoo Group wearing a softer look. This wig is smashing - a Monique wig from AM.

Welcome Esmerelda Witch
Forget the wig for now - just hand me my hat! I need some sunshine and air.
This feels good after traveling so far - in a Hannah Montana box - can you believe it!
Are you checking out these boots???
I do love my curls BUT perhaps a straight wig would be better for the heat and humidity PA summers bring. (Demands already)
The doll collection at Drearydom Larks is honored to introduce its newest member Ms. Esmerelda Witch from the dolldom of Goodreau near OZ. We're just gonna call her Elda! : )
