Miniatures, Kit, and Gloria

Look at these tiny ice cream carts!

There is one that I think is the right size for Lottie!

It's very expensive though. I found it at Kultura, a shop that sells lots of Filipino goods.

Here's a video I took at the store.

In a department store, I saw these tiny character helmets!

The straps are actually detachable! I wonder if a Barbie head can fit in these.

My new Hi:Glamm doll, Kit, is now on display. I was only able to dress her in this red leotard, and Bratz pants. I had a hard time securing the velcro at the back of the pants, because her butt is quite full.

And I found another Dawn doll! But this time it's a redhead. I found out later that this is Gloria!

She's not in good condition. Her legs have stains, even her face is discoloured. Her dress needs velcro, but I didn't want to sew anything at the moment. She was already clean when I took this photo, but I wasn't satisfied with the discolouration of her face.

I cleaned her up again and tried applying some Garnier cream on her face. I think it helped a bit because her face looks so much better now.

I also tied a loom band around her waist, to secure her dress. I think it's an original Dawn doll dress, but I can't find a photo online.

Here she is with my two other Dawn dolls. I think I want to adopt more. I don't mind getting more of these because they're really compact dolls.

Doll Impulsions (Part 1)

I really haven't been a good blogger lately, lol, mainly because I'm having difficulty transferring photos from my phone to the computer. So in the mean time, I will do a lot of writing. I still look at dolls online, and sometimes I find things I want to buy but couldn't because I just can't afford to spend at the moment. So I'm starting a series of posts called Doll Impulsions, as a way to curb my spending, hahaha!

Aah! I'm looking at that Hasbro Pocahontas doll, and that tiny Novi Stars doll with multiple arms. I don't want to buy them even though I know that Pocahontas doll is already cheap, and that Novi Stars doll is hard to come by.

This MiWorld OPI set with the tiny nail polish and stuff!! These things would look cute in a diorama, but the rest of the accessories are too tiny for 1:6 scale.

Pinkie Cooper's pet, Li'l Pinkie!! I already have one but it's missing its ears and her scarf. 

I don't want to buy this doll, but oh my, look at how big Jessie's eyes are. They are looking into your soul! Haha.

This proud poodle! I like collecting pets, but she's too pricey for me.

This other dog is so cute. She even has a skirt!

This photo is from the seller I transacted with, and I purchased the tall doll from her. It's a Hi:Glamm doll and her name is Kit! I've always been curious with Hi:Glamm dolls and even Leggy dolls from the 70s, so I was glad I found one online for a cheap price.

My friend and I went to this place where there are lot of gardening stuff sold. She bought some tiny stones for her garden, and gave me a small bag of stones for free. It's gonna be perfect for my diorama making!

Barbie x Hi:Glamm Doll Hybrid

Hi:Glamm dolls are fashion dolls with extremely long legs. They're much taller than Barbie, and their face reminds me of Winx Club dolls, for some reason. At one point, a Hi:Glamm doll was in my wish list, but I changed my mind and just switched to Hasbro's Leggy dolls, vintage dolls with more manageable height but have the skinny long legs, as promised.

The other day I saw an online post about some pre-loved Hi:Glamm dolls, so I thought I'd look up Hi:Glamm dolls on the Internet once again. Then I stumbled upon this type of fakie:

From Forum-Dollplanet.ru

These dolls seem to be a clone and a hybrid of Barbie and Hi:Glamm dolls. What sorcery is this?! I never thought I'd see the day when I find out that Hi:Glamm dolls have been cloned, sort of.

By looking at this photo, I am assured that I really do not want a Hi:Glamm doll anymore. I was mainly fascinated by the doll's rareness, and how funny their legs look specially when you want to pose them for a photo, that's why I kept it on my wish list for some time, but I realised the novelty of their legs looking like that does get tiring after a while.

Besides, I have a tall and long-legged doll like Lollipop Girls, and I find my own Lollipop Girls doll much more adorable and inspiring. I treat dolls as a muse. They should inspire me and make me happy when I look at them, or else why should I keep collecting them?
