Spotlight: Doll #22- Delora Noceda

-

My cousin's first doll was Josefina. She got her at the same time I got Saige and my sister got Julie. She got lost in a move, stuck in a box somewhere for probably almost 10 years. Eventually their family moved again and she was reunited with her Josefina doll. She knows I love AG dolls so she offered to send her to me. The Josefina doll ended up arriving just at the start of Shark Week so I knew that this doll had to be a marine biologist. Thus, Delora became a thing.

Delora loves sharks. She wants to protect them, save them, learn about them, and most importantly educate people about them so they aren't so scared of sharks. Even her name has to do with the ocean, Delora means 'from the seashore.' Her last name is Noceda after Luz Noceda from The Owl House as it was an important show to both me and my cousin. Delora has dual citizenship in the United States and Mexico. Her parents are both from Mexico. Delora is bilingual in english and español. I am very much not anywhere near fluent in spanish, but I'm learning! I hope writing Delora's stories can help me learn.

Delora is a cis woman and some flavor of gay, she's not quite sure which yet. She regularly wears a ribbon in her hair just like her idol Valerie Taylor.

Let me know what more you want to learn about Delora!

  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 ...

 I got Quinnie from my cousin for Christmas. She was one of her dolls and I was so happy to finally have a Marie-Grace doll! Quinnie is a huge true crime junkie. She loves learning about true crime and trying to help move unsolved cases along. She wants to be a forensic scientists. She grew up in New York in a small apartment with her dads, Amos and Daniel. She has Gastroesophageal reflux disease that caused scarring of her esophagus, which in turn caused a narrow esophagus. The narrow esophagus caused Esophageal dysphagia, she now eats her meals through a nasogastric tube. Quinnie is a cis woman and is currently questioning her sexuality. She has two dogs, Yarrow and Basil. She doesn't live in the BBD house. Any quinnie questions? Ask away!
