A few weeks ago, I sent one of my gorgeous Les Jeunette’s off to Floriana of Almond Doll for a new look. It was a bit of a tough decision, as Les Jeunette is one of my favourites (this blog used to be named for her after all…) but I couldn’t resist. Almond Doll has been one of my favourite customisers for a really long time.
I’ve had a bit of an identity crisis over the weekend and got confused with my Les Jeunette Doll with my blog. I ummed and ah’d over the name of it before and I was never fully decided on it. I’ve started embarking on my doll-house adventures (a team of architects can do this… and I wanted my blog to be more ‘doll’ if that makes sense – at least with the name). First I wanted to redo my logo, and then I decided I wanted to change the name of my blog. And then I did it. Talk about being compulsive!
I was so happy to see when I woke up today that the Blythe Doll Les Jeunette has had her promo pics released!
She’s a bit of a cutie with her polka-dot dress! Her boots are a lot like Curly Blue Babe’s (ankle boots are so in now) and she sports a pair of thick-rimmed glasses.
You always have a soft spot for one of your creations – and for me, it’s Udon. Udon is a project Yeolume doll. She’s been rebodied with a Pure Neemo XS, had her hair and eyes redone, and her face a few times.

There’s the first doll that you own – in my case a Hatsune Miku Pullip – and then there’s the one that gets you addicted. I had two when I really fell into the rabbit hole. My second Pullip doll was a Serenity Sailor Moon – another gift. One of my previous childhood loves was Sailor Moon, and when Serenity arrived at my doorstep I was completely fascinated by her delicate lace layers, her floaty dress and ridiculous high-heeled pumps. But I wasn’t hooked – yet.
