Dollieh Sanctuary

A group shot!

I took smaller group shots of everyone and then decided it was boring and cut it down a bit.

Utena, Anthy, a random Daniela and Moonlight Dance Alexis, which I think is the prettiest Liv ever made. The wig is fantastic.

Outdoor Daniela, who stole glasses from Sophie but they never seem to stay on, Sophie with a Pullip Neo Noir mask and School's Out Katie. I can't figure out how to tame that wig. It's so... huge.

The fairies, now deboxed. Glee, Sunburst, Lumina and Random Blue Fairy
Lumina is still my favorite. You can't really tell here, since she's shoved to the side, but Glee's head doesn't really match her body.

Twist and Shout Katie, Sophie and Daniela. They are more 80s than my genuine 80s Barbies. I think they're amazing. Well, except for the whole missing waist and knee joints part.
Lastly, my two works in progress:

I hate Bratz mouths, so I took a Bratz I found that had been butchered by a cousin and removed everything except the eyes/eyebrows. I'm having some problem getting at the color in the tiny crack between the lips. It's a pain.
And I decided I wanted to try painting eyes so I removed the eyes from a Moxie. Haven't figured out what style I want to paint them yet, though. Or if I want to change the lips.

On second thought, maybe I should have put this in the Sanctuaries. But they don't have bios or anything. Hmm.

Love your fairies!! Love love love them! Especially Lumina <3, could you post a close-up of her..?

Removing lip colour from in between the lips is a pain indeed. Unfortunately I still haven't found the golden tip for doing it.

I want to see more of your Twist and Shout girls. Their make-up looks awesome.

"Well, except for the whole missing waist and knee joints part." Can they not sit?

I'll take pictures of those when I get the camera back again.

Gift: They're called Twist & Dance, I must have had the Beatles on the brain when I wrote this post up, just in case you were trying to google it. Oops. But yeah, this will show you why they don't sit. They are set up so their hips and arms move, so whatever put that in took out their ability to sit. The commercial also shows the two I don't own. They don't quite resonate with me as much, but I'd probably pick up Alexis if they went on sale. Not Hayden, though, because she really doesn't have the 80s vibe the others do.

The Twist & Dance dolls need a rebody with a normal Liv body.

Thank ya Lokiholic and Wardah!

So I flickr searched them and now I feel like a perv. "Just give me one picture of the doll naked already!"
And here it is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/48343234@N ... otostream/

It has Twist and Dance eyes in, but it's a normal body. The torso is segmented in the Twist and Dance body. I don't even know how to describe it (I haven't been in doll fandom long enough to know how to describe anything, really). I'll make sure to take pictures tonight.

You can put the heads and outfits from the Twist & Dance dolls onto a normal Liv body. Lots of people here switch doll heads around all the time.

Wardah: I know it's a possibility, but I'm paranoid that I'm going to somehow damage the heads by switching them. I think I'm going to try it on the one blonde Liv first (as I'm not really that fond of her anyway), and I'll try repositioning her eyes while I'm at it. If I manage to do it without harming anything, I'll then move on to rebodying the Twist and Dance.

Now for the pictures!
Lumina:


... Apparently I can't center when I'm half-asleep.

Twist and Dance:

And the weirdness that is a Twist and Dance body:

Oh! I see now. Freaky~
