My girlies are back from the Salon!!!
First of all, I'm glad I waited til today to open this box. Yesterday was like, the longest day of my life and I was exhausted from all the stuff I had to do. This was like getting a whole box of presents!!!
Starting with my beloved Sea Wees. I sent @imreadydollparts the absolute worst of my collection, featuring one doll from each release wave.
Coral is a first wave Sea Wee. They had the worst hair imaginable, and Coral's tends to be more brittle and fragile than the others. I don't have many of these; my original Shelly snapped off at the neck and was thrown away. This is a miraculous restoration. The hair feels exactly like it would have straight off the card. It's been trimmed neatly and is a very presentable example (paint rubs notwithstanding.)
Next: sea wees and babies:
Breezy has a little molded plastic (or rubber?) baby Blew, and of the "sea wees and babies" series, she tends to age poorly. Her hair came curled, which was probably a mistake for such shitty fiber. These were marketed as bath toys; why give them hair like this!?! My poor Breezy is faded, rubbed, and her hair was a disaster.
But OH MY EARS AND WHISKERS look at her darling updo!!!! This is simply PRECIOUS and she's going to get a starring spot in my display.
I know that the paper towel is to keep the hair tidy in transport, but I kept seeing them as blindfolds. I decided that this is one of those makeover shows where the recipient doesn't see anything until the end. Camille is from the Tropi-gals series where they had a mermaid, a baby, and a sea pet. This Camille is my worst one, both in terms of paint loss and hair issues, and now she's just lovely! I will repaint her just so that she can live up to that lovely hair! Her bangs were a complete disaster, so I'm thrilled with how she looks now.
The 4th wave was called "Icy-gals" which always seemed weird to me, but the Sea Wees got a makeover with action poses and molded-on furry jackets. Their hair was slightly less shitty, but this Shelly was totally trashed. Look how smooth and lovely her hair is now!
I happen to have duplicates of the Icy-gals because I caught them cheap on eBay back in the late 90s, and I used them as ornaments on a white Christmas tree. I wanted a Mermaid tree, and I was a damn grown up living on my own so I did what I wanted.
I haven't displayed my Sea Wees in many years. I'm going to find a place to get them out and appreciate them.

I took some time out of the easter holiday, to do the Phasmo easter holiday event. I quite like how it makes the lobby look, and I have my trophy where it belongs.
I am also very happy it was not another endless egg hunt 😂

I just can't sleep
Everytime I close my eyes
I see myself by your side
And if I can daydream
I know you're with me
When I sleep
Who knows what will show up
It feels so surreal
In 23 days I will finally be able to say
My dreams came true
I'm with you
4lu
Till then I'll toss and turn
But I'm so happy
You have no idea
How happy

Thanks to @underragingwaves I've been seeing a huge surge in love in the fandom. It's beautiful to see everyone rallying together to share what they like about other accounts. It's refreshing to see love instead of jealousy or hatred. It's amazing to see what one person is bringing to the fandom.
I love seeing all of the anons being sent to others and hope it continues because it is SO needed 🌹🌹🌹
