Alyrenee's Copious Spare Time

Item # PP133 Free Spirit Poppy Parker™ 2018 IFDC IT Direct Exclusive Doll* OHHHHH!  I love her. So cute. I love the jeans especially and the new hand sculpts are very cool. I like the natural makeup with the streaks in the hair as well. I am sure competition to get her will be cutthroat. There are three more to come...weeee!

I just returned from NYC seeing plays for my day job (occasionally theatre can be glamorous...mostly it is actor armpit sweat and stupid long hours). I spent Wednesday morning shopping for fabric in the garment district and felt excited and overwhelmed by the sparkles and luxury of the stores (mood, pacific trimmings, hai fabrics, and B&J). So much yumminess. As I ate a banana in Bryant Park, I tried to imagine our small town girl turned model out and about in 1960s New York City....it was easy to imagine Poppy in crisp summer dress sipping a coffee in the opposite bistro chair.

I also worry about that red pleather and staining. I really hope I can get that snake bracelet at some point.

So I was lucky enough to snag this girl in a recent W Club Lottery. I love the high waist jeans. I sadly missed out on Misaki Candy Cutie in a price that I could afford. Boo. I am now trying to hunt down an ITBE Zolt or Zing from the 2014 Gloss Convention to reroot in a candy color to stand in her place. I might reroot this Misaki as well in a mint color. We shall see. Designer Mark Tinkey shared inspiration sketches of recent Misaki designs on his doll instagram .
