Evening in Montreal Victoire Roux

A new girl arrived recently, so I took some pics of her.

This first one is Integrity Toy's picture of

Evening in Montreal
Victoire Roux™ Dressed Doll
IT Direct Exclusive
Limited Edition of 600 Dolls

I love her makeup, shoes and jewelry...

but that asymmetrical dress isn't really my thing,

so I'll be selling off the dress, fur piece and gloves XD

I also wasn't a huge fan of her super hard hair do...

that thing was nailed into place (literally 0_0)

So I took it down, and she has the most lovely, soft hair

once you wash it out.

Here are my pics:

Did you notice her lack of joints? XD

Repaint: Color Infusion Camira Domina

Yeah...

I had fallen in love with the sculpt when I saw my friend's Color Infusion C

gal from the 2012 Integrity Toys convention...

so I sought out my own Color Infusion C,

now named Camira Domina (by Integrity, not by me),

from the 2013 Integrity Toys convention...

Uhm, she looka' like a prostitute 0_0

Talk about hideous under-eye makeup ;_;

Still, I wanted the mold, so I got her,

and repainted her.

Below is just a quick "Before and After"

Better pics to come:

Left: Before, Right: After

I love her hair color and don't want to change it,

so I tried to give her a more natural look that worked with it.

Mid Month Tutorial: aveuch's hair styling tutorial

Tutorial #2 is aveuch's hair styling tutorial!

I booted up the ol' ipad and went to flickr, where aveuch has her tutorial...

this hair style looks pretty cute!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/aveuch/4264994255/

Supplies:

1. Scissors

2. Pipe Cleaner

3. Flowers or other embellishments (if you so choose)

Step 1:

Fold the pipe cleaner in half,

then place the hair between it, as shown below.

Try to get all the little ends in there (in other words... better than I've done in this pic -_-;; )

Step 2:

Twist the side of the pipe cleaner with the fold into a tight loop.

Step 3:

Twist the other side of the pipe cleaner so it holds the hair tight.

Step 4:

Roll the pipe cleaner upward.

aveuch says it's important to fold upward (so that the pipe cleaner is rolled into the hair, not towards the neck), that way if your doll has layered hair, it hides the layers.
