Doll-A-Day 2017 #180:La Dee Da Sweets Party Sloane

  Today is just a quick post with whatever I had photographed,because our internet has been out all day and you never know when it's going to go out again! So,today's doll is this La Dee Da doll.

I found her recently. I hadn't seen a La Dee Da with freckles before.

I had a hard time finding her online.

She's almost this La Dee Da:Sweets Party Sloane as Lollipop Swirl.

Her dress is made of the same fabric(without the trim though), and she has the same face and her hair is almost the same colour,but is missing the bangs.

I finally found her. She's Sloane from the Sweets Party redo.

Finding this also explained my curious Dee,which I featured on a previous day.(You can see her HERE.) She was almost the Sweets Party Dee with the multicoloured hair.She's from the redo too. As it happens, I recently found the original Sweets Party Dee. I'll be updating redo Dee's post with pictures of the comparison.

I hope I can post a doll tomorrow.Let's hope my internet is working. I haven't missed a day so far this year!

Doll-A-Day 2017 #146: La Dee Da City Girl Dee

  Today's doll(s) is the other La Dee Da from the Goodwill haul. She's City girl Dee.

Yesterday's La Dee Da was Cyanne as Peppermint Pose.  She was one La Dee Da I especially liked and would have considered buying new. City Girl was the other one! How lucky was this!

My red roses are blooming.

This girl came with her dress, but there was another City Girl who was wearing the Monster High mummy outfit.

The dressed one is missing her red jacket and shoes, but she has that dress I love.

And of course those spindly little arms.

 The dress has a city scape on it.

A cartoony city,but still.

And Dee's dog 'Bun'.

The dress has a drawstring that turns it into a bubble dress.

Pull the ribbon and the dress goes from this...

...to this;

At the beginning of this post I mentioned that today's doll was doll(s). That's because there was also this girl at Goodwill.

She was wearing something that was way too big for her,so she's naked until I find her something else.

Does anybody know which La Dee Da doll she is?

The red roses are almost all I have left,since my crazy neighbors killed off my huge pink rose bush that had been here since the 1940's.

The red ones are tiny and not very full and rose shaped. They don't smell as strongly as my pink ones did either. Still,I love roses, and these are about all I have left,so I appreciate them very much.
Tomorrow is Shrunken Saturday. Check back for the tiny doll of the week.

Doll-A-Day 2017 #145: La Dee Da Cyanne as Peppermint Pose Sweet Party

   I'm posting this a little early since I'll be busy all day. My best friend,Lori, had her heart ablation on Wednesday and I spent the day hanging out at the hospital,keeping her company, something I have had to do way more than I would have liked the last couple of years. We were told the ablation went well, so hopefully this will take care of her heart problems and she can get back to normal. Today she'll be going home ffrom the hospital, so I'll probably be running her home.It's also Ivy's last day of school for this year, and we have an appointment to celebrate with a grilled cheese sandwich,(her) and a soy cheeseburger(me),Rally fries,and chocolate milkshakes, using our old fashioned soda shop style milkshake glasses and our red and white striped vintage style paper straws.
  And today it's back to the Goodwill hauls from a lucky week I had recently. Today we're seeing a La Dee Da doll.

 

She's Cyanne as Peppermint Pose.

Even her eyes are swirly,like mints.

She's from the Sweet Party line,like another La Dee Da doll I featured recently, Dee as Dots of Style. You can see Dee HERE.

I featured another La Dee Da as doll of the day back during the first year of Doll-A-Day. she was Cotton Candy Crush Tylie, and you can see her day HERE. Back then I mentioned one La Dee Da I would really want:This one! I felt really lucky when I found her, especially as complete as she is.

She has her complete original outfit, except for the shoes.

These are some rather extravagant looking Barbie shoes with molded roses and other details.

These shoes are way too big on her tiny feet,but they look alright.

 Her dress has a big peppermint on the waistband.

There are more peppermints on her ponytailers.

And her hair is peppermint striped too.

As with my other La Dee Da dolls,she has very weak knees and a head the pulls her over when she tries to stand.

Standing requires a prop of some sort,and/or a lot of leaning.

The arms and legs can at least go out to the side, as well as up and down.

Plus she has that cute face.
 

With pink freckles!

  You can see Cyanne as Peppermint Rose on the La Dee Da home page HERE.

Tomorrow we'll see another La Dee Da from the haul.

Doll-A-Day 2017 # 54: La Dee Da Dee as Dots of Style

  Today's doll is Dee,one of the La Dee Da dolls.

Original dress and replaced shoes.

She's Dee as Dots of Style Dee.

Or is it?! From what I can tell, my doll has the dress and eyes of that doll, but not the hair,(There should be some purple hair on top and orange hair around the bottom.), or sparkly paint around her left eye. Any ideas anybody?

She's from the Sweet Party series.

You can see my other La Dee Da doll HERE.

And you can visit the La Dee Da home page HERE.

I like the look of some of the La Dee Da dolls, and I like a lot of the clothes and accessories that fit their theme.

 La Dee Da's have nice faces, with big eyes.

 I have seen some beautiful repaints.Now that I have a spare doll,(a less complete double of the doll I gave the link to above.),I may try repainting her.

My biggest complaint with the La Dee Da dolls is that they are head heavy and weak limbed.

Dee had a hard time supporting herself in a sitting position,even with her arms to prop her up.

There's no way her tiny feet and weak knees joints will allow her to stand up on her own.

Her arms can't move in any interesting way.They are strictly up and down arms,without even an interesting turn of her hands or a bent elbow.

Do the limbs start out this loose, or do they become that way with play?I've never had a La Dee Da straight out of the box, so I don't know.

Check in tomorrow to see what the doll of the day is.
