Dolly pictures and dorkiness.

impyI tried to warn you that there'd be a flood of pictures coming, but my computer decided to laugh and die. So no warning. Sorry. :p
You might recall me bitching about Rida's hair and how it's got this weird little section in the back where it goes all kinds of crazy. You might have also noticed I was waiting on dolly wigs. You might not. In any case, I did, I was, and they arrived yesterday morning. They also brought MJ along with them. Since he got the short end of the stick, picture wise, we'll talk aboot him first.
MJ
He's cute, dammit.
The blue thing? Middle School Yearbook. He's nifty, but there are issues...
With Ainsley. You can tell the relationship soured and this is it. It's just not working anymore. For the record, she dumped him. No. Really.
I kind of thought everyone was getting all worked up over nothing, but his wig? Definitely brings him down. I've yet to find that exact mix of genius and stuck my finger in a light socket that makes him look cool. Which is a shame since he's pretty. A pretty bad boy. What's not to love, right? His eyes are grey, and I love that. I love that his eyes don't look as sunken as I was afraid they would, as earlier photos would have you believe. His clothes are spiffy, he came with his own flask [and cigs, but come on, the flask!] and in general looks oddly dead sexy [for a doll] upside down. I just seem to have wig issues. He needs a name.
Ainsley's wig explosion.
Ainsley is adorable. She really, really is. I love her to pieces. I didn't expect to love her as much as I do, and every other day I contemplate snagging a second one. She's that awesome, okay?
But Ains? The sprouty thing finally overcame the might of the bobby pins. Woe. Also, the rest of the wig seemed like it was breaking off, and I hadn't done anything to it to cause that.
So, with my heart in my throat and the knowledge that if anyone could screw up a simple wig swap, it would be me [I have many crafty inclinations, I just lack the ability to back them up more often than not] I grabbed the screwdrivers and went to work.
Can I just say it was a bit daunting? Yeah. It was. My brother wouldn't get off the phone so I could check the wig swaps for dummies pages, so I had to do it on memory alone.
Eventually, I managed to pry the wig off Ainsley's head without giant holes or rips or even a bunch of fuzzies stuck to her head. I was so proud of me, you have no idea. I'm good with the self depricating humor, but I mean it. If anyone is likely to dream big but fail in a most spectacularly awesome way? Me. I'm not sure I'd classify it as fun so much, though when the only glued on bits were the front and I'd flipped her wig up to see what I had left to convince to vacate the premises, that was funny. Should have taken a picture, but I was in the zone, or maybe I just wanted to get the damn thing off her head. :p
Then came the parade of wigs. Muhahaha... Enh. To be honest, what I really wanted was one similar to her stock wig. I liked that look. I just hated the breakage and the fountain on her head. So, with that in mind, naturally the wigs I snagged looked nothing like her stock wig. Because that makes oodles of sense.
The first one we tried was the black & red one. This is the one I figured would suit her best, going with her red & black color scheme. [Not that I have the clothes to back said scheme up, or continue it, but work with me, okay?] It's pretty, and Mumsy said it reminds her of C-ass, and her numerous Halloween costumes that would probably have been perfectly completed with said wig. Oddly enough, I adore the photos of it but it's iffy in person.
If you're keeping up with the popularity contest, this one seems to be the one most people say 'fits' her. And it does. This is Ainsley's go out and kill people wig. Which works quite nicely since she's supposed to have a problem with killing people. :p Woo. I think that picture *points up* is adorable. Because it is.
B and C
I think the bright red wig came next. This one is my favorite on her. It really, really, really is. I don't know why, other than she retains the most Ainsley-like qualities with it, and unnatural wig colors are the whole reason to have dolls. Or watch Alias. [Not that I do the latter, but one day. Maybe.] It's Mumsy's favorite wig, but not actually on Ains.
The glaring problem with this wig is that it makes me want to run out and buy all the weird colors under the rainbow. Right. Now.
B, C, D
Neeeext was the curls of cuteness. If not, it was actually the second one and the red one was third. Not really important, other than these two were in the middle because I wasn't sure when the Widget and company would come home, and I wanted to make sure I saw these on her before they arrived.
Yes, it gets two easily seen, no links required shots. I love the wig. LOVE. I could spend hours just petting it, it is that soft. I won't because it would kill the curls, not because it would be weird. Thing is, it's not Ainsley. At all. I didn't really think it would be, but I imagine that sometime soon I will find someone else who will demand it, and until then, Ainsley will use it as her, I'm so sweet and innocent, please help me wig. Sort of like how Belle will roll over on her back, show you her tummy and look adorably sweet. So of course you will pet her tummy and you will always be surprised that she lets this happen for about five seconds before ten thousand claws and teeth descend upon your unsuspecting flesh.
I like my cute with an evil chaser.
C, D, E
Finally, I cracked open the box for the black and purple wig. Which is extremely pretty in person. Surprisingly so, actually.
So of course, out of the ninety billion pictures taken of it, most suck. It's pretty much the opposite of the red/black one which photographed fairly well, but looked kind of iffy in person on Ains.
This is the wig I have on Ains at the moment and will probably be her default wig until I find one that screams Ainsley all the time. It will probably not be the one she shows up in whenever she introduces herself, but hey. What can you do?
C
Lots of pictures. I'd issue a warning, but I'm on dialup, so it's not like I don't know how dangerous it is. :p
Didn't go to work last night. Sick. And by sick, I mean it's nice that nature thinks I'm such an idiot I need extremely graphic proof that, hey, no immaculate conception here. Ick.
Finished the one book I had a chance of loving for sure from Mom's hit and run at the library. Aunt Dimity and the Deep Blue Sea. Good stuff.
Now, before my computer dies again [this is the third or fourth go at this], I'm posting.
Oh, my Tori single [don't make me come to vegas] and my MCR DVD both arrived yesterday. Happy dance!
