Release Date : Feb. 2013

Now that I think about it I would really prefer her hair to be jet black like Punkaholic People but I will reserve judgment until I see the doll. Other than that I'm very psyched because I'm very sentimental about the Punkaholic look. and I love her outfit. She could definitely be one of my next custom Middies! But I will be keeping this one! LOL!

Middie Minaj is Looking for a New Home!

Just in time for the Holidays!

Middie Minaj #1 is now up for adoption at Little Brown Blythe and she's so cute that yes, I admit it was a bit hard to list her. Hahaha! But she is ready and looking for a new home and I am so proud to have completed her just before the holidays. She would make such a terrific gift!

Middie Minaj #1 is Complete!

Ready to travel this Monday!

I gave her bangs an edgy bias cut tonight and will be snipping any stray ends this weekend but Middie Minaj #1 in my series of Black Middie Customs inspired by Nicky Minaj is done and will go up for adoption on Little Brown Blythe on Monday. Customizing her, though at times stressful has been so much fun! Again as when I first began customizing Black Blythes, watching a doll become more and more distinct with every step is just such a rewarding experience. She is so darling and I adore her so much that  know I have to do another right away. Custom Middie have a very different charm than full sized Blythes. They may seem a bit stiff and limited at first but with a little coaxing, they actually have quite a bit  going on behind those wistful gazes. Below are Middie Minaj's stats.

See you soon!

• Face plates have been sanded completely before being painted and sealed in matte MSC
• Her make-up is pastel
• Eyes lids have been sanded
• Pastel eye shadow applied and sealed with MSC
• Lips carved and painted
• The ends of her hair have been triple dyed in Navy Blue and Teal
• Her cat suit has been dyed pink 

Please visit Little Brown Blythe on Monday for her adoption fee.

Blythe Frocentric

For me, one of the great things about having a significant number of Blythes is that whenever I get a little bored with one or two (and I sometimes do) I can always shake things up a bit by pulling one off the shelf that has been idle while I'm shooting another girl or girls. Last night I grabbed Castaneda off the shelf because I had this idea which was inspired by my natural hair board on pinterest.

I've been seeing a lot of frohawks in the streets and on pinterest lately and I just love them so much, I figured, why not try it out on my one sweet fro headed doll, Castaneda? I just love it! I had no idea this little fro wig could be so versatile and I'm super excited to try other styles on her as well. I don't see very many Black Blythes with super curly or ethnic "natural" hair very often and I really love to see a diversity of Urban hair styles projected on Blythes as well as a diversity of colors. So I'll be really brain storming new ways to bring another Fro girl to life because there just needs to be more don't you think? ^__^

Monster High/Pinterest Sidebar

So if you don't happen to know this yet, I am a Pinterest junkie. Follow me on Pinterest and you will discover the truth yourself. It's not that I spend a huge amount of time there but when I am there I am never bored, always discovering, learning, sharing and just so impressed by all the inspiration there is to be found on the countless boards that are created. That being said, I also love Monster High Dolls. I have repeatedly tried to make announcements to the affect that "This is my last MH Doll" but the fact is I can no longer claim that when they keep coming out with fantastic and fierce new designs! So, cutting the chase, I was just checking my pinterest notifications and saw that a "Monster High Doll" had repinned one of my MH pins and decided to take a look at that board. Here's what it is:

All of this person's favorite Monster High dolls but with accompanying pins that go along with the theme of that particular doll! It's genius and I love it! For instance, I clicked on her board for Lagoona and found these amazing sea creature tentacle inspired earrings!

Click on Howleen Wolf and you see this beauty with a ruby colored bouffant fro! For those of you who are so inclined this would a great way to incorporate Monster High like style and details into your wardrobe as a tribute to your favorite Monster High Dolls. It's also just one of a hundred examples of how amazingly creative Pinterest can be.

Middie Minaj Update

Middie Minaj #1 is coming along slowly but surely and will soon be up for adoption at Little Brown Blythe. It's been very interesting watching her come together. I think she is so sweet. The small scale of Middies makes work on them somewhat faster and less painstaking give or take a few details.

I really adore Melo Melo Middie a lot and can't wait to customize another version, most likely, Francoise Ananassa to keep to the theme of fantasy colored hair which I am becoming obsessed with.
