amanda outdoes herself (again)

[ewein2412]

my christmas present from ACB just arrived. This time it is Harriet Vane.






more of her gear. Note the picnic! (The sandwich is wrapped in wax paper.)








of course she comes with an academic gown and also the HAT. (But what I really love is the button for the hood on her back.)



nightie & kimono.



...um... (the lace! I wanted to show off the detailing.) (right)





ready for a car journey, I think...



the fur collar is monogrammed on the inside!

Very, very, very cool. I'm particularly impressed by the motoring outfit. What good friends you have, to be sure.

I never had a barbie until this year... unless you count the John Constantine doll Amanda made me back in 1991. What would my mother think!

Amanda is super awesome and amazing. I love the waxed paper wrapped sandwiches.

[ewein2412]

that brown dress took me like half-an-hour to get on her.

I suspect that is the real reason why most little girls wind up with naked Barbie's, it's easy to take the clothes off but hard to put them on.

This is beautiful and insane and I wonder how long she worked on that. All year? Wow! Something to share on your site, too, I'd think even if it's not CNV related.

Gah, Also! Healthy New Year to you and all your family!

[ewein2412]

Thank you, and to you too!

Amanda's excuse is that she's on sick leave, I think - having her breasts re-built! This certainly seems like a great way to avoid brain atrophy. She had also made a bunch of "Scarlet Letter" doll outfits (presumably for her 5-year-old daughter) which she posted on her Facebook page at Thanksgiving (it was allegedly a "Pilgrim Barbie")

A Pilgrim Barbie O.O and even more dresses! Goodness!

This time it is Harriet Vane.

Wow.

[ewein2412]

I know!

[tinx_r]

Wow, that's brilliant

[ewein2412]

it's the detailing that gets me!

This is too, too fabulous.

I included a Harriet Vane (http://www.polyvore.com/harriet_vane_gives_paper_at/set?id=17395136) outfit in my Literary Heroines (http://ameliaeve.polyvore.com/) set on Polyvore.

"Harriet Vane gives a paper at MLA."

*love*

...and I want that coat!

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

I love that last suit!

[ewein2412]

I know... I want one too.

[camille-is-here.livejournal.com]

I would wear those clothes--if they were bigger! Love them, especially the academic robes. So Harriet!

[ewein2412]

I have a feeling they are based on Penn's. I feel sure the hat is!

[camille-is-here.livejournal.com]

I absolutely love the hat!

[ewein2412]

the hat is the best part of Penn's outfit, too.

[camille-is-here.livejournal.com]

Yes it is. I never bought regalia--now I'm sort off sorry I didn't. I wonder if I can get just the hat?

[ewein2412]

I never bought mine either - on the rare occasion when I need it I just borrow it from Amanda

[zalena.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! The daintiness of the clothes almost make the doll look crude.

[ewein2412]

yes, I found that when I was taking photos - her plastic smile does not really have enough intelligence in it. I think doll-selection drives ACB crazy. The CNV pilot doll is actually Snow White!
