My restoration dolls continued!

So last night and today I finished cleaning them up! I think that at least a couple of them will be good candidates for face painting (Cleo has a rub in her eyeshadow and Duece has rubs on his eyebrows and a rub on his bottom lip), but after cleaning off all of the paint/marker/nail polish/whatever that was they were all perfect! I took a closer picture of a couple of the messiest dolls. Technically Frankie was by far the worst, but since I was a little nervous about scrubbing off the face paint with the gunk with the Magic Eraser, I did her first since she was already in the worst shape (broken neck peg and missing legs!). I forgot to take a picture first.



Here they are after all the scrubbing! They turned out better than I'd even hoped! Lagoona had paint on her cheeks and I was afraid I would scrub off her freckles. I didn't!


Then I decided to put them in some of the clothes that came with them in the garage sale box. Duece is only missing his glasses I think! Cleo has her shoes and part of her top. Clawdeen has her dress, shoes, and accessories, but the dress needs sewing. Frankie has her belt, purse, and dress- the dress is ripped down both sides though. Venus had her pants and shoes, There was an extra Lagoona shirt that I paired with those. Lagoona just had one shoe otherwise. I have an extra pair of brown boots, a guys pair of shorts, a guys pair of jeans, and the rest of the clothes are for Barbie. The pink dress I have on Lagoona is for Barbie, but it actually fits pretty well and it's so pretty. n_n The lacey robe I think will be really pretty on top of something that I haven't quite figured out yet (I'm not sure what it's from?). Lala only had her earrings and shoes. xD
( Here's a picture of how they look right now! )

Now that the most important cleaning is done, I'll have to wait to really go further with them. I need to get up monies to buy MSC for face-ups and also to pick up dolly hair for rerooting.

Cleo is the doll most in need of a reroot because of the damaged tinsel in her hair. The tinsel looks like it had a thread core? It's all white and fuzzy, and that doesn't look very nice. For now I think I'll just look into how to detinsel her.

Grrr

So I have a tumblr now, and I've been having some fun reading it and such. I much prefer LJ, but I like that it's an extra source of fandom stuffs. Sometimes I see spoilers for things I'm currently watching but am behind on, or for things that I want to watch later, but I just scroll past and it's not a big deal.

But I started following a blog a couple of weeks ago that has soured me a bit on the experience. Someone decided to post a lovely graphic I think out of a Saw movie with "humorous" text. I don't even remember why I followed said person in the first place, but I'm not following them anymore because if she thinks that's funny I don't want to see other things that she finds funny. I won't judge people who like the Saw movies, I know it's just fiction and there is a puzzle aspect to them that is interesting. That's fine.

But I can't stand suffering AT ALL and so every year I would try avoiding the tv as much as possible so I wouldn't have to see those stupid previews because they really, really bother me. (Death in general I'm ok with, it's torture and suffering that I can't handle.)

This post really has no point other than I'm upset because now I can't get that stupid picture out of my head because someone thought that shit was funny.

Also, the thing was using a music lyric from a song I like. It's going to ruin that song for me because you know what I'm going to think of when I hear that song now? THAT FUCKING PICTURE. Grah!

This is one of those times never forgetting anything is a bad thing. -_-'
