Moxie Teenz & Fan Girls Host a Labor Day Garden Party

Image
  The Moxie Teenz and their friends, the Madame Alexander Marvel Fan Girls threw a Labor Day party to welcome the last days of summer in style, and they invited some friends to celebrate with them. The girl just got their photos back and couldn't wait to share them.  To their delight, the Fan Girls have discovered they look good posing with the My Scene boy dolls, so they invited them to enjoy the Labor Day festivities.They even let Jackie Evancho and a Placo soldier join them for the outdoor party. Wave 3 Tristan with long black rooted hair is wearing her pink party dress for the occasion,. Not to be outdone, Melrose found another pink party dress to wear. She also quickly made friends with the Placo soldier. Fan Girl Gwen wore a sweet little dress from eBay.  Gavin came in his original outfit, minus the jacket and tie, and with more informal white shoes he borrowed from another boy doll from one of the singing groups. And Tristen, who is wearing a Barbie dress with add...

Madame Alexander Marvel Fan Girls Dolls: Spider-Gwen Review

Image
The Spider-Gwen Fan Girl doll from Madame Alexander is as cute as the other two dolls I have reviewed in this series, but she has a few flaws they lack.  What I Like About the Madame Alexander Marvel Fan Girl Spider-Gwen This doll has the same pretty Face mold as the other M.A. Fan Girls, as well as rooted lashes and an articulated body. The doll has already been fun to redress and pose. I have a mixed reaction to her two-tone hair. While it is currently trendy, it dates her, and I will probably wish she didn't have partially pink hair before too long.  Her vivid blue eyes are lovely and expressive. The sunglasses are cute, but they don't fold. Spider-Gwen's little teal boots are adorable and were quickly stolen by the Black Widow Fan Girl, because they match her Barbie dress. What I Don't Like About the Madame Alexander Marvel Spider-Gwen Fan Girl This doll's costume is a mess. I would love the pink-lined silver hoody if it were attached to a shirt or jacket, but i...

My Valentine Bear

Image

A gift made with love makes almost anything special. Happy Valentine's Day from Fashion Dolls 101.

Snapstar Hairstyle Wigs a Good Fit for Moxie Teenz, Liv Dolls

Image
 The relatively new Snapstar line of dolls from Yuzu have been marked down at Walmart along with their cute wigs. When I saw the $1.50 price tag, I knew it was time to try the wigs out on my Moxie Teenz dolls. The two wigs I found had attractive photos of the wigs, but would the wigs look like the photos, and would they fit the large heads of the Moxie Teenz and Liv dolls? The pink/blonde wig was almost identical to the photo but it had a long plug of plastic in it like the Liv wigs. Apparently Snapstar dolls have a hole in their heads. That's ok. I have been through this with Liv dolls. I simply turned the Snapstar wig inside out and cut off the plug. The pink/blonde wig fit perfectly on Moxie Teenz Melrose, so I did the same with the red wig. The red wig did not look like the photo. The photo on the Snapstar box shows flowing waves and straight bangs similar to the pink/blonde wig, but what you really get is a shorter curlier hairdo with some wave in the bangs. Still ...

Elf on the Shelf Gets a Christmas Reindeer

Image
My husband's aunt Sherri sewed me a wonderful, colorful reindeer for Christmas this year, complete with halter and little jingle bells, that has already become a family heirloom. I love it, but it was quickly stolen from me by my Elf on the Shelf doll. The clever elf climbed up on the reindeer and locked his arms around the deer's antlers and simply won't let go.  I admitted defeat and let the elf have his reindeer. I'm not really too sorry about it. They do look mighty cute together. In fact, they match pretty well. It looks like they were almost made for each other. So Elf on the Shelf gets a Christmas reindeer and I get a cute holiday display! Merry Christmas from Fashion Dolls 101!
