Hey all, Elle here! Have you missed me? Yeah, I have missed you, too. Nothing like having those 18″ dolls stealing my spotlight all.summer.long!!! I mean they are pleasant enough, but Char obviously forgot that I am more fun to photograph than any doll in that crazy office of hers. After all, I have more personality and am clearly the most gorgeous doll in there.
If you are wonder what outfit I am wearing, it is from Plaid to Meet You. Her outfit is fab, but honestly, none of us are really bonding with that girl. She has gorgeous eyes, but that wig is just not Char’s thing so I have a feeling she may be slated to find a new home soon. And I get to keep her clothes… muwahahahaha…
I mean, how many dolls photograph as beautifully as I do? Char didn’t even filter or edit any of my photos this morning!!
Oh yeah! This is not a shot you take every day. The sunlight on the lens… makes the pain of walking through the rocks barefoot (DOH!!!! Thanks for ratting me out, Elle!) all worthwhile.
Perfect in plaid! And these boots are the best!
Watch out my 18″ little pretties… I am back and the natural order in the doll room will be restored!!
Oh goodness, that was a lot work. Can anyone bring me another cup of coffee?
Beautiful, I like it! I agree she is photogenic!
Amazing pictures Char! Will you be selling Plaid to Meet you on Ebay or something?
Maggie – yes, I think I will be selling her on eBay soon. There are a few other dolls from my collection that will be going up too. Need to make room for some new faces
Can I have Elle’s outfit in my size?! Dolls get all the best clothes…. *shakes head*
But seriously, those boots are awesome…and the jacket… And the beret keeps reminding me of AG Molly.
And please link to your Ebay listings if/when you get them up, Char. It’s sad to see parts of one’s collection go at times, but it’s good to weed through it every now and then.
Goodness Elle is beautiful!!! I love the pictures. Yes I have missed you.
Aww! Look out 18 inchers, Elle is coming back!
I think you are SO adorbs Elle! I would like to see more posts and pictures of you!! : )
Plaid to Meet You looks AMAZE on you!
Thanks for another wonderful post Char.
Hehe…Elle:) So cute:)
Love it!
Style, grace, and just a bit of attitude.
OOOO news dolls? I wonder who they will be? Elle is stunning and I have Plaid to Meet you. Personally the wig doesn’t bother me, except for those flyways!
Char,
how to fingercurl and some hair tips for curly and straight haired dolls…ENJOY and sorry for rambling!
No offense meant, I think you take really great care of your dolls but Saige’s hair in the Carpatina Summer Chic giveaway post (by the way thanks for another great giveaway) looked a little frizzy and I went to AG Columbus (it was awesome!!) and got Rebecca’s hair done and the lady taught me to fix her hair and fingercurl it really well. So..anyway…
You will need: a hair pick for curly hair or a brush for straight or just use a hair pick on straight hair also you will need a tooth brush.
1.Spray your dolls hair and brush it out…never brush dry you will get smoother results if wet.
2. GO CRAZY WITH FINGER CURLING!! Use your finger or a pencil and wrap or comb the hair around it then gently slide the hair off after about 15 to 30 sec.
3. Make sure the hair is wet the whole time but after you finish finger curling just let it dry.
4. Use the toothbrush to smooth the little hairs on the top down. At AG they used golf ball cleaners-metal brushes. .
Warnings: never spray your dolls eyes they will rust if wet.
If their face gets wet it will look all shiny and weird. Also do not use any product or heat on their hair.
Sorry for such a long comment Char! Just had to share this cause all my dolls look brand new after doing this. Water works wonders on AG hair!!!!!
Brooke, yes sometimes that happens! I was photographing her outside and the poor girl has had to do so many outfit changes in the last few days that her curls really need to be touched up. I may have a line a mile long for doll hair touch ups this weekend based on all the outfit swapping that has been going on around here lately. Thanks for sharing your finger curling tips, too.
Mwahahaha, Elle has returned! All hail the Queen of Dollville! : )
Seriously, though, I’m glad to see Wilde Wednesday back. I missed your Ellowyne photography, Char!
Elle looks phenomenal!
Char how much is plaid to meet you going for?
Char, I just love how you write out everything Elle is saying in each picture. She has such a personality! (even if she’s constantly on her high horse) lol! But seriously, I love her, and you are so creative with her. God bless you!
Char, she looks beautiful. Can you suggest a good site to purchase shoes for Elle?
Wow! Beautiful photographs of a beautiful doll. While I don’t care for the plaid to meet you outfit per se, I do think Elle looks great in it and it’s just stunning color-wise at this time of year: it just pops in the photos. It’s good to have Wilde Wednesday back and wonder what new shenanigans Elle will be thinking up. Thanks for this visual treat!
Beautuful Elle!
SHEs Gorgeous.
Elle is gorgeous!
Char THANK YOU SOO MUCH for finally putting a new post of her!! I have been requesting for months.
Char , I also would like to buy plaid to meet you. I could buy her from you but it depends on how much you are selling her for.
Love Wilde Wednesday!!
Madelon: I’m not Char, but here’s my two cents: I’ve made several purchases from facetsbymarcia.com and am pleased with this business.She’s set her site up so that you can see how the shoes fit on various dolls’ feet as well as informing you if a particular shoe will work for your doll. She is prompt to answer questions and to ship. I’ve purchased shoes and wigs for my E.W.s and everything was well packed and fits perfectly. Hope that helps.
Elle is so pretty, and I now really want her! char, when are you going to post the winner of the giveaway (the doll room) I am dying to know who won!
I’m always glad to see any photos of the beautiful Ellowynes.
I was wondering, are going to the Wilde convention in Tyson’s Corner next month?
Char, which dolls will you be selling? If you aren’t sure yet, that’s okay.
Great pics! When/if you sell plaid to meet you could you please tell me? I dont own any Ellowynes! At all!
And the other dolls? sorry to bother!
Sabrina – I am doing a big doll room clean out this weekend in preparation for all the holiday giveaways, etc coming up. I will definitely share my ebay list with everyone as soon as I get it done.
char- are you going to post the winner of the giveaway soon?
Starr – I really want to but need to double check a few things on the calendar first because I haven’t figured out how to clone myself yet.
I will try to get that posted this evening.
YAY!!!! THANKS CHAR!
Char, this is unrelated, but all the posts with Ruby you can no longer comment on. I am considering getting a wigged Ellowyne, how does the hair quality compare? Does the wig come off at random points? Is it secure? Will it rip or just stay on? Is it hard to care for? Sorry for all the questions, but I don’t want to pay for a doll I don’t want, or can’t care properly for, because the Ellowyne would be my first wigged doll.
If it makes any difference, the doll is Woefully Romantic, here’s a link:

Thanks!
I almost bought Plaid to Meet you and now I am glad I didn’t. Her wig would have driven me nuts.
I love SERIOUS INTENTION with the glasses and the houndstooth suit. OMG – she looks like I did in college.
And she wears glasses like me! squeeeeeal!
But I am glad I didn’t buy her either because the Twinn mold I have been searching for the past TEN years popped up on Ebay last Sunday. Her wig is being glued on. I’d better retire from buying dolls for a while! ;0)
whew! I hope GOTY 2014 is really special. I love, love, love ballet and Kidz’ N Catz sold out. I wanted gray green and golden brown hair like me. She was a neat option. I want to see more customization with AG too. Plaid to Meet You has the most awesome outfit ever! ;0)
Thrilled to see Elle back!
Elle, I’ve missed you! Welcome back.
Uh-oh Char, you better watch out! Elle’s dominion has grown in her mind over the summer!
Elle is so pretty!
Thank you Granof4. I will try that site.
