fashion inspo, w/ cameron

A few months ago I got a couple of OMG dolls, returned one after leaving it unopened for a couple of months, and kept the one I had wanted the most. I think I have 5 regular LOLS: Foxy, Pop Heart (Under Wraps), Snow Bunny (Hair Goals), Smarty Pants (Boys), and M.C. Swag (Furniture set). Since fashion dolls tend to be my favorite type of toy, I had to try one OMG. You can also spy my collector Bratz boy in the background. The sizing is so similar, I wonder if these were meant to be new Bratz doll bodies, but they decided to make LOL fashion dolls instead.

Generally, I think the faces on these dolls are super cute. I think their outfits are detailed and varied. I love their earrings and some of their jewelry. I appreciate that they include stands. Royal Bee is my favorite because of her afro and skin-tone. I pinned her hair down to cover her buns and I think she looks even better that way. Her purse is okay, and the brush isn’t necessary. The hat box, shoe box, and garment bags are a cute idea to unbox her clothing and accessories, especially since LOLs are all about the unboxing experience. It’s not necessary for me though. I’d be fine with the doll fully dressed and everything visible. I bought this doll in Canada and took her home to the USA, and I got rid of her box to save space, but I like that it included a mirror.

One thing about the doll did bother me though, I broke her underwear strap, so now she is avoiding a nip-slip situation. One day I’ll see if I can sew it back on. I think having that happen sort of ruined the experience for me. I don’t like her as much as I wanted to, even though there are a lot of positives. I wish they would make fashions for them because I’d love to dress her up, but I would have to buy the full dolls or dig around for old doll clothes that are close to her size. I’m not overwhelmed with joy over this doll, but I could still see myself getting another one.

In fact, before I finally decided to get Royal Bee I considered getting Snowlicious who was up for pre-order at the time. I noticed right away that she looked like Lalaloopsy Girls Mittens combined with some of those winter Bratz.

I knew MGA reused ideas in their lines, or maybe they are supposed to be Easter Eggs, but I just found out that the new Candylicious doll has a picture of Crumbs Sugar Cookie in her box and wears Num Nom earrings. I bet she’d look cute in a lolita style dress and some bunny ears or something.

Her and her sister also remind me of Scoops Waffle Cone except with pale blue-ish hair instead of brown hair. Bon Bon’s playset even comes with an ice cream cart. I may have to get her or the OMG doll. We’ll see.
