Well. Here’s Stevie, upgraded (I hope).

It all started last November after I posted some photos of him on my Instagram. Some prog people appeared in comments confused what the f is this and why is it in their feed; one of them pointed out that the doll looks like JKR and boy oh boy I took this as an insult.

There was another thing I didn’t like: his previous hair was rooted too thick that it created some sort of weird helmet which also couldn’t lay flat without ungodly amount of hair product. I hesitated a lot because it’s my first ever doll repaint and I didn’t want to ruin by cutting and plucking off hair it but eventually time has come to give him some new style.

So I bought some brown saran hair online but it came too light, another strawberry blonde (I’ll use it for doll reroot eventually). Then I found the BMR1959 Tango head (her body is Stevie’s now) but her hair color was too warm. I almost quitted but then I realised that another body donor Barbie has the exact hair color I need. That was Made to Move yoga doll in green top and tie-dye leggings. Her hair was really amazing which is not so often with Mattel nowadays. 

Instead of rerooting, however, I glued the hair directly onto the head. I kept them thick (personal preference) but with strands so soft it’s easy to style and move them how I want. And I even made him sideburns!
