Spotlight: Doll #3- Ivy Lee

-

 My third doll was originally my sister's second doll. She bought her the month after she got her first doll with money she'd gotten for Christmas. Around a year later my sister told me she "didn't like her bangs" so i asked if she would give the doll to me, and she did! So then Ivy officially became a part of my collection. During this time I was really fascinated with custom AG dolls, but didn't dare to do anything to Ivy, she was retired at this point. I ended up getting my 4th doll a little bit later and her and Ivy became best of friends. That 4th doll no longer exists, but canonically moved away. 

Ivy was the reason I started my blog. We were camping in a state park in the mountains and my dad had just given me his old Canon Rebel DSLR, I was enamored with it. I posed Ivy in our campsite and made her hold a rock in her hand. In that moment she sprung to life; she was so interested and invested in this rock. I could see how curious she was. I knew in that moment that Ivy was my little nature buddy. I also knew I had to share these adorable photos with people and thus Blog By Dolls was born.

Ivy has since been on many hikes and camping trips since then. She truly does fit right in with the forest. Her favorite thing is being surrounded by towering ancient pines, the trail beneath her feet coating in a thick soft carpet of dropped needles. She, like Skyler, wants to make a world a better place, just in a different way. She wants to restore the land, combat climate change, and make the world nicer to animals. She's vegan, as she loves animals and it just made sense that her diet should reflect that. Ivy is autistic, she wears noise dampening headphones quite often to help her navigate the world. She has a very strong sense of justice, she'll speak up for what she believes in even if it may get her in trouble.

Ivy identifies as a cisgender woman and omnisexual. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know about her!

  Wren sits expectedly on the wooden swing on the front porch. It’s an unusually warm day for mid March, 70°F, sunny clear skies. The world is starting to wake up after a long winter’s slumber. A flock of robins congregate in the front lawn eating the spring season’s first offerings. Wren’s sporting her orange knitted crop top with brown straps, a patchwork pair of jean shorts, and her old reliable boots, dark grey with flowers scattered about. She sits, watching the passing cars with anticipation, looking for a bright lime green Subaru to drive in.  Her bestest friend is coming to the Blog By Dolls household to live with her, like they always dreamed of. Yasmine had sent in a request to join and listed Wren as a point of reference. Needless to say Wren was a wonderful reference and Yasmine passed everything she needed to and will be coming to live in the BBD house! Now to wait for Yasmine to pull up. Wren sways back and forth on the swing as her sister’s red GMC SUV pulls int...

Spotlight: Doll #32- Yasmine Williams

 The plan was to finish up these dolls intros before I added anymore new dolls to the collection, but that's not how it worked out. I asked for a AG outfit for my birthday, but didn't want to ask for a doll because I didn't want anyone spending that much money on me. But my Nana ended up giving me a 125 dollar AG gift card so I used it to get Makena. Her unboxing video is up on my youtube! All my links are on my Socials page here on the blog. Yasmine is a fashionista. She loves styling and posting her ootd. She hopes to become a fashion designer. She grew up a few houses down from Wren and Lark. Yasmine is loosely based off both the Makena character from AG and also one of my best friends growing up. Yasmine loves bright bold colors, lime green being her current fav. but her favorite color switches up often.  Yasmine is a cis woman and being my newest doll I haven't settled on what her sexuality is, I'm thinking pan maybe? She rooms with Wren in the BBD house.  Got ...
