Welcome to the 22nd My Dolly Week post, in which we will discuss the newest announcements from Groove, promo pics for upcoming Blythes and were I can finally share the end of another dolly customizing project. Let’s start!
My Pullip Marie got a complete makeover. At first I wanted her to get a new dark brown wig, but this flowy and gorgeous baby blue wig from Leeke practically jumped into the shopping cart on its own. It is probably the softest wig ever and its color is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. Truly lush, long and flowy, its pastel tone compliments Marie’s very light and subtle brows. It also helps that her face-up consists out of earthy tones, which go well with a pop of color!
Custom doll artists Kiki & Chrysanthemum make beautiful custom eyechips for their dolls and occasionally put a few pairs of them on sale. I got a pair consisting out of two different colors, silver with a little bit of bronze and indigo blue, which sparkles beautifully. It all came together in a crazy way, when I realized that these had to be the new eyechips for Marie and her luxurious wig. Fate struck and the Carmenred Lolita Witch Dress set, which I got over half a year ago through Sugar Lattice Doll Boutique, came into my mind. Why not answer pastels with even more pastels?! Her lace-up booties are the stock boots from Pullip Cheshire Cat. I just love this feeling of making the most of a doll you really care about. And I am so happy that I lost my shyness to change up my stock dolls’ looks because it makes it all so much more fun for me!
Of course there are certain dolls, I do not ever plan to change up somehow, but if there is something you do not absolutely love, you can play with your sense of aesthetics and try out new things! This also applied to me with Pullip Lupinus, whose stock is great, but she just so much more feels like my doll now. Lu looks like a fluffy bunny now, who just wants to relax in her comfy clothes all day. I told her that that’s the right way to go! Comfy is awesome, when you are as adorable as her!
My custom sweeties had a cute little photo shoot on my fluffy pink blanket to celebrate the release of Miss Ruri’s official pictures on Marías website. They are so pretty and cute! I love looking at them in general because every Poison Girl on her site is so special-I will definitely keep you posted, when Mayu‘s photographs are released!
Groove surprised everybody last week, when they announced that they would continue their string with collaborations with iconic anime series Revolutionary Girl Utena. I am not familiar with it at all, but will try to catch up with it before the release, since we will probably get a Pullip Utena and Pullip Anthy, who should be a mocha release, if they want to stay true to the original. It definitely should be about time that there are more official releases with a broader range of skintones.
The promotional images for Neo-Blythe Vera Florentine were released, shortly followed by pictures of the doll herself and although she is a cute button, her eyeshadow throws me off. I wish, it was a different color!
Garden of Joy is more up my alley. After my swooning for Marie’s wig, I am sure that her hair plays a big role in that! Another plus for me is her dress. She will be out on September 15th and I hope to be able to see her in person soon! 😉
Can I tell you another really exciting thing?! We already got our tickets for both Disney parks in Tokyo! I am so happy to be able to visit them again! You can expect to see lots of pictures and Disney related stories from me in a few weeks! 😀
I hope that you all had a good week and I hope that we will see each other soon on my blog!
Thank you so much for reading!

Ahhhh!!! Tokyo Disney! Can’t wait to see your honeymoon photos!
I keep dreaming of going back there. I hope it will be sooner rather than later.
I love seeing how you customize your dolls. You are so good at it! You choose such good outfits, wigs, and eyechips!
Yaaay, thank you so much for sharing my excitement! 😀 I cannot wait to share pictures of my honeymoon. It is so exciting to visit Disney in Japan. Actually, I always want to make sure to use my visits to the fullest, since I don’t know, when we will get back either. Best would be every month! 😀
You are so sweet! My dolls and I are very flattered. Maybe someday I will have enough trust in myself to make a full custom. It is definitely a dream of mine! 🙂
