I have finally got around to doing some photos of this lovely before giving her a new body. I find myself stopping on doing that because she's so lovely the way she is. I have yet to see the movie and may end up buying the DVD because for me getting the time to go and see a movie is, well, difficult at best. Yeah, I'm that busy. Buying the DVD is easier. I've already got a big list I want for my birthday.
You ordinarily wouldn't think lime green would be anyone's color, but it definitely is Cate Blanchette's. This doll looks like her spot on. I would venture to say if they had given this doll a pivatol body you probably would not have been able to find her in the store right now.
In that dress she just resembles Una Thurman playing Poison Ivy from one of the earlier Batman movies with Val Kilmer. That outfit could be very Edwardian,or early 20's or modern today evening wear. I am of half of a mind to keep her as she is and buy another to re-body! She is so lovely like this. The feather thing in her head is plastic and comes out. Though the hands are plastic gloves, they really do make the outfit. One reason I was thinking of keeping her like this is when you have a formal event such as a cocktail reception with dolls in formals- my dolls tend to live it up- she would be a very useful 'filler' extra character and does not look cartoonish! I really do adore her. The other one that Disney or Mattel made was done in a Victorian gown of black lace. I would like to have her but would not be able to use her in regular scenes.
Still working on Poppy's apartment layout, which may come down in a couple of weeks as my birthday is in the first weekend of May. (I have been promised a special birthday weekend by hubby this year, with lots of loot.) I am also hoping for a couple of Hot Toys wishlists for my birthday and hope they can be here by then. If not, I will have lots of blog posts when they arrive afterwards!
