It's Lucy!

It's so much fun when a new doll arrives...and it's a guilty pleasure when she isn't designated as a gift for a special occasion! That's the situation with Leading Lady Lucy, who arrived this week. Because she is the 18th Anniversary Neo Blythe doll, she comes with two complete outfits (one for day, and one for night) and she has a lot of fancy details that most Blythes don't have (at least, not all in one doll!) The most obvious special feature is the second string coming out of the back of her head, which allows her to close her eyes and keep them closed--sleep eyes are my favorite thing!!! She also has metallic pink and silver pull rings, translucent skin, eye shadow with eye liner, nail polish, two-tone lips (which are gorgeous!), special eye lashes and FOUR special eye colors. Her hair is described as "pinkish platinum"...and if you have a good imagination, you can see the pink!! Haha! Actually, the pink is so very subtle that it's only noticeable in certain light. I intend to do a side-by-side picture with Stella Serendipitous, whose hair is called "silver gray," to see if Lucy's pink tone will be more apparent.  

Let's talk about her clothes. I love them--all of them! Every single thing she comes with is wonderful. My two favorite pieces are the fluffy slippers (so cute!) and the charming little hat. When I inspected the underside of the hat, I noticed that it was sewn together by hand. Since I've done a lot of hand sewing, I always appreciate it when I see it, particularly in a manufactured item like this, where it is unexpected. 

This is Mochi, my female Siamese cat, doing a quality inspection.

She has a lot of hair! In this picture it has been washed once. I will probably wash it again, as it is still slightly sticky.

"Would you like my autograph?"
