A New Look for Zayn

 Zayn let his hair grow out! LOL! I've been wanting an "alternate" look for Zayn for a while now. I finally ordered a different style wig for him from Chewin and it came in recently.


You can see him in his "original" wig I had gotten for him at other points in the blog, or on the sidebar in the doll bios. 


I like the longer locks on him for something different. I don't get this guy out near enough. His character isn't as fleshed out as some of my others I guess that is why I don't reach for him as often as some of the other guys.


He's so handsome though! Lyn did f wonderful job (as she always does) on his face up. Gosh I miss her painting.

Another New Look

 Edan wasn't the only one that got a new wig this week. I had originally bought this wig with my Ebony Dane (Nox) in mind, but when I tried it on him I couldn't get used to it on him. I was just too used to him in his dreads and in this one he wasn't "Nox".  So since Chewin makes the wigs specifically for the head you request the wig for, the wig went to my only other Dane, Javier. I'm actually not quite sure what I think about it on Javier either, as I've kind of gotten used to him with longer hair, but I played a bit anyway.


I think part of my problem is the curls are a little too "high" at top. The more I see it on him the more I get used to it, but he probably won't use it all the time. I'll have to play around and see if it fits any of the other guys.


Or if not, I guess it would give me an excuse to get another Dane down the road, maybe in realskin or dark brown this time, lol. I do love the sculpt.

Short Styles

 It is so hard to find good short wig style for the guys in the mini size range. I try to get Chewin wigs for my guys if possible, but it isn't always possible. I had been eyeing Iple wig style IHW_SSS083 for a while now, so last time I ordered some items I added a couple of colors in this style to my order.  I ordered the Sepia color with Edan in mind, and finally got a chance to try it on him today.


I like the style on him quite a lot. The only thing I don't like about the wig is it has a black elastic mesh cap. I don't understand why the wig manufacturer's use black anymore with all the known staining reports. I will have to order him a wig protector from DDE or Marsha.


I do like the style a lot. It is a little less "shaggy" than the Monique "Red" wig I had on him previously. The bangs don't cover his eyebrows.


I also ordered the pearl gray color with my incoming Dylan in gray resin in mind. I may have to go back and get the other available colors as well.









Winter Knits

 Long time, no post. I hope to remedy that in 2024, and become more active on my blogs again.  Today was a first step. I took some time to p...
