Stardoll Review

I bought a Stardoll because it was on sale and I have always loved this dress. I know Stardolls are old news and most of you guys probably know about them, but here is my thoughts on them

I bought the red one from the Fallen Angel Style.

Here she is in her box.

Re-bodying Tutorial.

Ever had a doll that you absolutely love but hate that she is not fully articulated? Well I have had a few. Another scenario is that the doll you have is articulated but the articulation is flawed.

This was the case for my Disney Store dolls. I hated the articulation that the Disney Store gave their dolls in 2012 (some still have it in the 2013 releases). When I received my 2012 Ariel I immediately re-bodied her on a Liv doll. I recently re-bodied my Merida on a Liv doll too and I was asked how I did it. So I made a little tutorial so that those who want to re-body their dolls can know how to. It is very easy really. I admit when I first started doing this it was nerve wracking but after a few be-headings it became second nature.

First off lets look at the head pegs of the different dolls that I have:

Barbie, Disney Store, Liv

Modern Disney Girls

Yay for first post of 2014!! Today was a public Holiday so I spent it having some fun with my dolls. I re-bodied my 2012 (first release) Disney Store Merida doll on a Liv Schools Out Hayden body. She came out looking awesome!! The more modest girl body of the Liv doll suited Merida perfectly!!

When I posted this on my Flickr account a friend suggested that I give all my Disney girls a modern look. So I accepted the challenge as I haven't done something like this before, not with all my Disney girls. Well, this was the result:

I don't have a Jasmine or a Mulan yet and my Tiana is in need of a spa day before she is camera ready. Anna and Elsa should be on their way to me soon too.

So lets start with the pre-renaissance princesses. I loved how Snow turned out!! I need to fix her hair though it is still quite frizzy. For Cinders I tried to capture the original colours of her ball gown (Silver and white). Eventually I would like to reroot her in a strawberry blond colour like in the movie. As for Aurora I wanted an outfit that captures her as Briar Rose (The name given to her by the 3 good fairies that raised her). It contains both Blue and Pink, so Flora and Merryweather don't have to fight over the colour :P

The dress I put Belle in reminds me of a Mondern version of her village dress. Pocahontas outfit just seems right, and I believe she would wear something like this. For Rapunzel I tried to give her a more arty look. I am happy how it turned out.

Lastly are my Disney Store Liv Hybrid girls. Merida never without her bow and Ariel looking ready for a beach day!!

This was a fun project and kept me busy for most of the day. I love how they all turned out :). So that was how I spent my first day of 2014. It was a good start to the year.
