Wine.

I like the style of it and the wavy pink one, but I like the color of the wine on her better.

I agree, she looks really nice in the wine-colored wig.

She adapts to dark hair color well. As much as I'm partial to red heads I go for blonde braids, it makes her looks sweeter

Wine and red seem to suit her very well and look great as an every day thing, but she also looks good in the pink and I think that's nice on her for special occasions maybe. I like her a lot actually in any of them but those are the ones I like best. She's lovely and I particularly like her little medal. That makes me smile every time I see that. I do that for one of my big porcelain Kingstate girls. I make her beaded glass necklaces with tiny little blue antique French Guilloché Enamel medals. FYI, generally speaking they're not inexpensive to acquire. The more intricate the design the more they cost so that tells you how spoiled that particular doll is that I'd put a $25-40 Mary medal on her, smile.

I think the last three (dark blonde, blonde braids and red) suit her eye color and skin tone best. They also really go with her fashion too. They make her seem more sophisticated.

Well, I am always ready to spoil my girls! Where do you get these medals? The one she is wearing is actually Russian Orthodox. I was very inspired by statues of Mary in a beautiful Catholic cathedral in San Francisco, across from Mosconi Center. I had gone in to check out the statuary for inspiration - I have never done any 3-D artwork and so was studying the technique. So when it came time to name her, Mary seemed like an appropriate name! Plus I remembered that when i was a little girl, every one of my dolls was named Mary, lol.
