I think this is a Hayden. I'm pretty sure the outfit came on a Hayden, but she stole the outfit from another Liv doll.I think Hayden has the green eyes and blonde painted hair,but if anybody could tell me for sure I'd appreciate it. This doll has a very pale skin tone and pink blushy cheeks. I think she'd look great as a red head. I just need to find a red wig.
She definitely needs some work done on that wig! |
This girl's eyes are actually kind of hazel, much more so than they look in these pictures.
I have a load of Liv dolls, with various hair and eye colours, and I've found all of them at thrift stores or yard sales.
And of course everybody knows how super poseable Liv dolls are.
But the main thing here is: Don't you just love this bike?!
I first saw some of these miniature versions of real bicycles about 20 years ago, in an article in Barbie Bazarr.The article wasn't about the bikes, it just used them as props,but the bikes are all I remember!
I have always loved miniature versions of real things, and I also love bicycles. From the age of about 9 through my early teens I practically lived on a bicycle. I still enjoy riding, but I'm getting a bit old and stiff to be able to jump off at the end of a ride like I used to. (Sitting on the seat my feet never touched the ground, so as I slowed down to stop I always had to jump off the seat. I recently had to get a shorter bike because I'm getting too stiff to do it smoothly now and I was afraid of falling off! For the first time since I first learned to ride a bike, on a kid's bike when I was 9, my feet can touch the ground when I'm sitting on the seat!)
Hayden has no problem getting her feet to touch the ground. Unfortunately for her, it was windy, and quite a bit of her kept touching the ground. |
It's a guy's bike, but she doesn't mind. |
It's a Schwinn Black Phantom. I think it's made by Xonex, but apparently there is another one too.The pedals turning really make the back wheel turn. The seat is covered in a soft rubbery stuff, and is actually springy.It even has a rack on the back for carrying her stuff!
The headlight doesn't really work, but hey, you can't have everything! |
Her hair was combed when she went out, but it was, indeed, very windy! |
See you tomorrow for another doll. Skipper Saturday is just around the corner, with one of my favourite Skipper doll and one of my favourite Skipper outfits.
I hope to find a similiair doll sized bike for my liv dolls, yours look really great.
ReplyDeleteAs I said, this bike is made by Xonex, but there are other companies making these super realistic miniature bikes. I hope you find one.
