11/13/2023: Everyone, please meet Camilla Hect!
Camilla here was originally Just Like You #62. I was absolutely dead-set on finding this exact doll for Cam because of the following logic: I personally use the actress Ariela Barer as a drawing reference for Cam. Ariela Barer, coincidentally, played Sonali in the American Girl movie Chrissa Stands Strong. While the Sonali mold is used by a variety of dolls, #62 is much closer to Ariela Barer's actual skin tone (and the skin tone a lot of fan art uses for Camilla) than the Sonali doll proper (and Sonali is extremely hard to find for prices I'd pay, especially for a doll I'm modding). #62 also has what are described as "amber-brown" eyes, but look passably grey-brown in person, so I'm not going to have to eye-swap her!
#62, however, came with some beautiful, glossy, very un-Camilla hair.
Tumblr media
Lovely, right? But very not her.
(Also, look at her face, she is so cute. All of the dolls are cute, but I am particularly delighted by the Sonali mold dolls, I think because that was one of the molds that wasn't released until after my original childhood dolls phase so it's new to me.)
Luckily, this provided a very convenient solution for another problem here at Saint Alecto's: Abigail's poor coiffure.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As you can see, the hair our dear Lady Pent came to us with has seen better days. To say nothing of the frizziness (which we would gladly treat if that were the only problem!) there's that inconvenient case of back-of-head bangs she had going there.
So!
As I have done several times now, I set about removing the girls' wigs. (I get my advice, as I'm sure many of us do, from @desertdollranch's rewigging post.) This is a significantly more stressful process when you're trying to maintain the integrity of one of the wigs you're working with! (And okay, Gideon's wig actually came on Harrow's doll so I have reused before... but it didn't matter if Gideon's hair got a little messed up in the process. It adds character.)
My beloved wife and fellow... uh, guardian (I guess? God, we're not their moms, that would be so weird!) of the dolls @incomprehensiblelentils was, as often she is, ready with the Magic Eraser for sudden trouble spots; she also provided support (literally: holding the girls as I worked) and company.
And lo and behold!
Tumblr media
Abigail Pent now has a beautiful new hairdo! (And I am more convinced than ever that she's going to need some lipstick. Nothing crazy, just a bit of color. That's for another day.)
More importantly, Camilla now has her trademark bob, as seen above. It's the Hoshi in chocolate brown by PurplePlumWigs (and yes, it is kind of gay* that Cam and Dulcie's wigs came from the same shop! This is part of why we can't be their moms: so many of these kids are in lesbians* with each other!) Her overalls are by StarBriteDoll on Etsy; the boots and tank top are harvested from eBay outfits.
(Abigail's outfit is also from eBay: glasses, sweater, skirt, shoes.)

Meet my newest OOAK; you might recognize our old friend Strawberry Shortcake.
Tumblr media
Her and Custard are baking strawberry sweet treats. Yum.
Tumblr media
She’s a Caroline whose wig had been severely cut but was in otherwise lovely shape. I ordered the wig from Za Zou Custom Dolls and I’m so happy with it!

It’s been ELEVEN YEARS since I got my dear Kit for Christmas… and about nine years since little me attempted to cut bangs for her and ruined her original wig. I then attempted to hot glue extensions in place of the missing bits.
Now, finally being in possession of Real Adult Money, I’ve gotten her a new wig!! (Dollofakind on Etsy) It’s like her hair has grown out as she’s grown up with me ❤️

My latest hospital patients, Kristin and Nellie:
Tumblr media
Kristin is originally a very old Kirsten, but I already have a Kirsten, so she’s got a new name and is Norwegian. She has her original blue eyes with soft brown lashes, but suffers from bubble-eye. One of these days I plan to get it fixed. Until then, she might need glasses.
Tumblr media
And here is Nellie again. I decided I didn’t like the Doll of a Kind eyes I had given her, so she got a pair of AG dark blue ones instead. I think it makes her look more like her book illustrations.

2/14/2024: Valentine's Day with a bunch of kiddos who've just learned what Valentine's Day is because they don't have that in space but they're doing their best.
Harrow has decided to try to spoil Gideon, not only by indulging her on a Valentine's date but by finding her a fuzzy friend, this sloth! Gideon is still figuring out a name for them, but she is clearly delighted by finally having a pet of her own.
(Harrow is wearing a blouse from sewwitchy on Etsy, the skirt from AG's Recital Outfit II, and the shoes from her "meet" outfit; Gideon is wearing an outfit sold by kmajor1 and boots sold by dolltoybox on eBay.)
Dulcie is giving her dear Pal a necklace - she tried it on for herself, but she already had a brooch on, you see, and Camilla refuses to wear rhinestones. They're all charmed, delighted, and loving to be in each other's company.
(Pal is wearing the sweater from AG's Sparkle Sweater Outfit, pants by Treasuredmomenssj and shoes by BellasDivas on Etsy; Dulcie is wearing a jumper and blouse from sewwitchy on Etsy and the shoes from the Junior Bridesmaid Outfit; Cam is wearing the sweater from AG's Warm Winter Outfit and pants from dollclothessewbeautiful and boots from beautifulwomen2012 on eBay.)
Corona and Ianthe missed the memo about what, exactly Valentine's Day is for (or did they?) and have gotten each other gifts: Ianthe is giving Corona a crown and Corona is giving Ianthe this absurd purple kitten, now named Porphyrogenita.
(Corona is wearing a dress by TheGlamDoll on Etsy and AG's Gold Glitter Boots; Ianthe is wearing a top sold by redjane*6 on eBay, the shorts from AG's Sparkling Hearts Outfit, and the shoes from AG's Sparkle Spotlight Outfit.)

I've made no secret of the fact that I'm Australian so periodically parts of the American experience with Barbie slip me by altogether. So if I may take us on a journey of the representation of my home country through Barbie's years, I would love to demonstrate that Mattel sometimes has as little understanding of my country as I do of America.
First things first: my fave Blaine Gordon was officially stated in the Cali Girls line to be from Sydney, Australia. This would also, by extension, imply that his sister Summer is Australian.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the initial run of Generation Girls, where Blaine debuted, he was from New York, but Barbie's friend Tori was from Sydney.
Tumblr media
Technically I believe born in Sydney and then lived in Melbourne before finally attending the international boarding school with Barbie and co in New York.
But for less specific examples - Australia was represented twice in the Dolls of the World line, once in 1993 and then again in 2011. Both times, Barbie is depicted as a country girl wearing a big hat, but the second time she also has a koala.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I like the way the Dolls of the World line evolved over time to include more interesting looking boxes. I would caution though that you should not walk around letting a koala cling to your arm.
Tumblr media
This design also evokes the OOAK Bindi Irwin Barbie that was released for the She-roes collection.
But not quite so dramatic as the other Australia-themed doll for the Dolls of the World collection - the Landmark Collection's Sydney Opera House Barbie.
Tumblr media
Flawless. No notes.
Of course, as Sydney hosted the Olympic Games in 2000, there are a number of dolls with Sydney 2000 branding. I would draw particular attention to Pin Collector Barbie from that year, as she has some design features in common with the two Dolls of the World depictions.
Tumblr media
There's a number of Australian celebrities besides Bindi Irwin who have either OOAK dolls or collectors edition dolls but it would be completely remiss not to mention that Margot Robbie is Australian!!!!
Tumblr media
So any movie tie-in doll is technically in the likeness of an Australian.
