Delilah Dark - first impressions
Posted: Thu Sep 23, 2010 5:08 pmWell, my Delilah Noir, Dark and Defiant, arrived a whole day early! WOOT!
My first impressions? Well heck, she's got greyish skin, I wasn't expecting that! Makeup is ok - definitely needs touching up to make it better though. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much neon pink in the hair. I mean, I knew there would be some, but they went overboard on this one's wig! There were three thick clumps of pink in the bangs so you couldn't see anything but those - yuck. I say "were" because thanks to my handy scissors they are no more. Of course there is this little bristly spot of pink on top, but I'm thinking a sharpie should solve that problem quite nicely.
Clothing is very nicely made - all of it lined so it won't stain and she even has white leggings under her stockings to protect her legs.
Shoes are cheap and crappy. Soles feel like they are made of frigging metal they are so heavy and it took me 10 minutes to get the strap back through the damn buckle when one shoe fell off. Which led to my disappointing discovery that she has pointy toe feet. I really hate pointy toe feet. I wonder if you can buy flat feet for her in that grey color....or maybe some bobobie feet would work since she has rather small feet for the size of her body LOL. She definitely needs new feet somehow!
Her vinyl is definitely a heavy, hard vinyl - and she took a gainer off my desk without suffering any damage
Overall she'll be an interesting addition to the dollieh family!
Oh - I've named her Narcissus - the perfect name for a gothy girl.
