Lady Bee hybrid

One of the cool things about BJDs is the ability to make hybrid dolls. Doll Chateau Erica wasn't getting much attention at my house lately, so I decided to try a quick hybrid--her willowy body and Peak's Woods Lady Bee's head.

Both are white resin--Kid and Fairy of Bugs size--and a pretty good match for color and size. Lady Bee now has an amazing ability to pose and a brand new look. Her wardrobe is a little limited, however.

For me, though, it's like having a brand new doll. You can see her photoshoot on Flickr.

Momo at Christmas

Here she is--the lovely DollPamm Momo. Her face up is by GamergirlLexi. She's dressed in a Barbie dress, Ellowyne Wilde skirt, and YoSD shoes from Mint on Card. Her wig is from Leeke, and eyes are also from Mint on Card (sparkling blue glass).

I think she's just too cute. She is the pink/white resin that DollPamm offers. I can't wait to see what else this company does!

Peak's Woods Winter special continued...

Check out the latest update in the Winter Event from Peak's Woods here. Not only has the gorgeous Sleeping Cue limited edition been posted to the website, but she is now part of the regular line as well. Above, you can see her regular, anything-but-basic make-up. She's simply enchanting.

To refresh your memory--the Fairy of Color body has been updated to a new double-jointed Lolita body. You can see photos of it here. It can be ordered with a split thigh or without, and extra posing hands (+$25) and heel feet (+$60) are available separately.

Goldie has renewed basic makeup. She's adorable!

When you purchase any FOC doll, you may choose one of the following six free heads in the same skin tone for free:

Cue

Lavin 

Lottie

Mintie

Shaia

Sky

When you purchase an Absolute Beauty doll, you may choose a free AB head (Rogita, Rogita Blossom, Bella the Moon, or Kisha) for free, also in the same skin tone.

Of course, bodies are available separately, and you can add a gorgeous face-up to the event head when you purchase the body. Lay-away is available for the event, and it's easy to do!

DollHeart specials - and it's a great one!

Stephanie

Also, I should point out--that's Miss Sleeping Cue modeling in the Endless Moment photo, just below. You'd probably better order one for your collection from Peak's Woods--see my next post!

Endless Moment

Peak's Woods event: Sleeping Cue Limited Edition

A sneak peek of Peak's Woods limited edition Sleeping Cue has been posted on the index page--and she goes on sale December 16.

Don't forget about the current special--get a free FOF head with any FOF doll, through December 15 only. Then, starting on December 16 through the end of the month, when you purchase a full FOC doll, you can get a free FOC head (Lavin, Lottie, Sky, Cue, Mintie or Shaia) with your order.

See the Peak's Woods website for details.

And wow--I've just noticed there has been a price drop in the FOC dolls--from $580 to $550. (The prices were usually listed at $550 with a 10% discount, but this discount has now become permanent.) Additionally, make-up for the AB dolls has been lowered from $70 to $60 as well.

Dollpamm Momo

For the curious... Dollpamm Momo in white skin is back from her face up by Gamergirl Lexi. She's such a funny and sweet little thing--not to mention happy!

Proportionally, her head seems smaller than Peak's Woods Hucky. I like her, I think. She's very quirky. She's due for a redress and some real photos.
